Single port laparoscopic orchidopexy in children using surgical glove port and conventional rigid instruments

PURPOSE We review the literature and describe our technique for laparoendoscopic single-site orchidopexy using a glove port and rigid instruments. We assessed the feasibility and outcomes of this procedure. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the case records of all children who had undergone laparoendoscopic single-site orchidopexy by use of a surgical glove port and convention...

Endoscopic transoral oropharyngectomy using laparoscopic surgical instruments.

BACKGROUND Recently, several transoral approaches for minimally invasive surgery have been developed for oropharyngeal cancer. However, all approaches have certain disadvantages. Therefore, we built and examined new surgical environments for improving the situation. METHODS Endoscopic transoral resection using a pharyngeal retractor or distending laryngoscope, rigid videoendoscope, and laparo...

Robot in Telemanipulation Using Android and Bluetooth

Robots are used for the purpose of picking the object and placing it into another place. This robot runs with human guidance and communicates through blue tooth. The robot setup is controlled by the android mobile which is having the blue-control application. Tele-manipulation allows human to perform operations in a remote environment. This system provides human operators with the ability to se...

Laparoendoscopic Pfannenstiel nephrectomy using conventional laparoscopic instruments--preliminary experience.

PURPOSE To confirm the feasibility of the laparoendoscopic Pfannenstiel nephrectomy using conventional laparoscopic instruments. MATERIALS AND METHODS Since March 2009, laparoscopic nephrectomy through a Pfannenstiel incision has been performed in selected patients in our service. The Veress needle was placed through the umbilicus which allowed carbon dioxide inflow. One 5 mm (or 10 mm) troca...
