Anesthesia for Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery

Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is a minimally invasive technique that effectively treats certain diseases and injuries of the shoulder joint. Indeed, new lesions and surgical techniques for their treatment have also been discovered by using this approach. Controlling post-operative pain in shoulder surgery facilitates early mobilization and fast functional recovery, allowing pain-free muscle con...

Complications of arthroscopic shoulder surgery.

Shoulder arthroscopic procedures have become common in today's orthopedic practice. The safety of shoulder arthroscopy though well established, is not without complications both minor and significant. The true incidence of complications is difficult to identify in the current literature. However, as with all procedures, complications associated with shoulder arthroscopy do occur. General compli...

Augmented Reality in Laparoscopic Surgery

A trend in abdominal surgery is the transition from open procedures to minimally invasive laparoscopic interventions, where visual feedback to surgical staff is only available through the laparoscope camera and direct palpation of organs is impossible. To successfully perform such sophisticated interventions, the provision of additional intraoperative feedback can be of great help to the surgic...
