Gasless laparoscopy for benign gynecological diseases using an abdominal wall-lifting system

Gasless Endoscopic Thyroidectomy via an Anterior Chest Wall Approach Using a Flap-Lifting System

PURPOSE Endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET) requires a proper working space for adequate visualization of anatomical structures and proper instrument manipulation. The purpose of this prospective study was to estimate the feasibility and safety of ET using an anterior chest wall approach without gas insufflation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The working space was created under a direct and endoscopic view...

Impact of gasless laparoscopy on circulation, respiration, stress response, and other complications in gynecological geriatrics.

This study aimed to explore the impact of gasless laparoscopy on circulation, respiration, stress response and other complications in gynecological surgery for old female patients. 40 patients (American Society of Anesthesiologists II-III, 60-70y) scheduled for elective gynecological laparoscopy were divided into non-pneumoperitoneum group (NP) and pneumoperitoneum group (P). All patients inclu...

Subtotal Versus Total Abdominal Hysterectomy for Benign Gynecological Conditions

An improved method of securing abdominal wall bleeders during laparoscopy.

INTRODUCTION LAPAROSCOPY AND OPERATIVE LAPAROSCOPY are the second most commonly performed gynecologic procedures after dilatation and curettage. During these procedures, injuries to the blood vessels in the abdominal wall have resulted from direct trauma caused by either the pneumoperitoneum needle or the trocars. (1) An injury can occur despite direct visualization, elevation of the abdominal ...

THE DEVELOPMENT OF GYNECOLOGICAL LAPAROSCOPY

In this paper, we discuss the present situation of laparoscopy in gynecology. There is no doubt that hospital stay, postoperative pain and convalescence are less when it is possible to treat gynecologic disease via laparoscopy. However, for reaching the final conclusion about the other effects of this kind of surgery, e.g., adhesion formation after operation, pregnancy rate, etc., a series ...
