Laparoscopic Intracorporeal Bowel Resection with Ultrasound versus Electrosurgical Dissection
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We assessed resection time and collateral thermal tissue damage of ultrasonically activated surgery (UAS) and high-frequency blade-enhanced bipolar electrosurgery (BE) in laparoscopic bowel surgery. METHODS We compared UAS laparoscopic intracorporeal small bowel mesentery re-section with an equivalent procedure performed with BE in a porcine model. Resection was defined as 12 end-arcade arteries supplying the intended bowel segment. Vessels were divided one cm off the bowel wall. Aside from shaft diameter, jaws gaping pattern, and cutting blade length, UAS and BE devices were well matched for handle ergonomics, jaws gaping extent, power setting, type of use, working shaft axial rotation, and length. A pathologist blind to the method used assessed the collateral thermal damage. Resections were allocated to either method by computer-generated block randomization. The study design was sequential triangular with a 5% significance level and 90% power. RESULTS No significant differences occurred in intraoperative blood pressure and heart rate variations in pigs undergoing UAS or BE. Median operating time (measured after 10, 20, and 30 resections in each study arm) was significantly shorter in UAS than in BS (0.57 vs. 2.01 min P < 0.001). Histology of small bowel wall specimens revealed no collateral thermal damage. CONCLUSIONS UAS laparoscopic bowel surgery offers reduced resection time as com-pared with its BE counterpart in a porcine model.

Laparoscopic technique and safety experience with barbed suture closure for pelvic cavity after abdominoperineal resection
BACKGROUND Between April 2005 and December 2012, we performed laparoscopic colorectal resection with regional lymph node dissection on 273 cases of colorectal cancer patients. However, Laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery requires a high degree of skill. Any surgeon who is going to embark on these difficult resections should have at a minimum laparoscopic suturing skills in order to be able to cl...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic low anterior resection (Lap LAR) and total mesorectal excision (TME) is the standard minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for mid and low rectal tumours. However, the pelvic resection in particular for bulky tumour in the narrow male pelvis has always been a challenge for surgeons. Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) is a well-established technique and synchronous abdomi...
متن کاملNew technique of intracorporeal anastomosis and transvaginal specimen extraction for laparoscopic sigmoid colectomy.
BACKGROUND Despite the growing acceptance of laparoscopic colon surgery, an abdominal incision is needed to remove the specimen and perform an anastomosis. Recently, natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) and intracorporeal anastomosis have been proposed to minimize abdominal wall trauma and improve the quality of laparoscopic colon resections Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and safe...
متن کاملLaparoscopic-Assisted Transvaginal Approach for Sigmoidectomy and Rectocolpopexy
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Laparoscopic-assisted colonic resection has been well described for multiple surgical indications. This typically requires an abdominal incision for specimen removal that is associated with the majority of postoperative pain. We describe the first laparoscopic-assisted transvaginal approach for sigmoidectomy and rectocolpopexy for the treatment of rectal prolapse. ME...
متن کاملLaparoscopic right hemicolectomy with intracorporeal versus extracorporeal anastamosis: a comparison of short-term outcomes.
BACKGROUND There is wide variation among laparoscopic colon resection techniques, including the approach for mobilization and the extent of intracorporal vessel ligation, bowel division or anastamosis. We compared the short-term outcomes of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy (LRHC) with intracorporeal (IA) versus extracorporeal (EA) anastamosis. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all elective ...
