Secured Independent Tools in Peritoneoscopy

چکیده
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Secured independent tools are being introduced to aid in peritoneoscopy. We present a simple technique for anchoring instruments, powered lights, and micro machines through the abdominal wall. METHODS We used a laparoscopic trainer, micro alligator clips with one or two 2-0 nylon tails and cables for engines and lights. The above instruments were introduced via a 12-mm or 15-mm port. Clips were placed for traction, retraction and exposure, lights for illumination, and motors for potential work. A laparoscopy port closure or suture passer was introduced percutaneously to grab and extract the tails or cables outside of the simulated abdominal cavity. The engines and lights were powered by a direct electric current (DC) plugged into exteriorized cables. RESULTS We used 2 to 3 clips for each, and engines performed well. CONCLUSION This basic simulation adds independent instruments, lights, and engines. We replaced cannulas with threads or cables in an attempt to limit the number of ports. This technique further opens the door for innovations in wired machines in laparoscopy, single-port laparoscopy, or natural orifice surgery.

A comparison of the accuracy of peritoneoscopy and liver biopsy in the diagnosis of cirrhosis.
The accuracy of peritoneoscopy and liver biopsy in the diagnosis of hepatic cirrhosis was compared in 473 consecutive patients submitted to both procedures. One hundred and fifty-two of them had cirrhosis diagnosed by one or both methods. There was 73% agreement between the two procedures. ;Apparent' false-negative results were 17.7% for peritoneoscopy and 9.3% for liver biopsy. The incidence o...

Background and Purpose: Although caudal block and acetaminophen have shown efficacy in postoperative pediatric pain management, they have not been compared in efficacy following peritoneoscopy. Patients and Methods: The study population were ASA I or II children from 55 weeks postconceptual age to 10 years of age having peritoneoscopy. They were randomly assigned to preoperative caudal block us...
