The Impact of Obesity on Laparo-Endoscopic Single-Site (LESS) Appendectomy in Children
Authors
Abstract:
Our study aimed to clarify the relationship between obesity and the risk of postoperative morbidity following LESS appendectomy. We performed a retrospective review of all patients who underwent LESS appendectomy from January 2013 to December 2016.LESS appendectomy was performed in 109 patients during the study period. Among these patients, 17 (15.6%) were obese.There were no significant differences in operative time, postoperative length of stay, surgical site infections, emergency department visits, or readmissions among nonobese and obese groups. In conclusion,obesity did not have any impact on the intraoperative course or short-term postoperative complications after LESS appendectomy.

A 53-yr-old woman presented with abdominal pain. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, and an endocrinologic work-up revealed a 4-cm nonfunctional left adrenal mass. A TriPort laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed. The TriPort was inserted through a 3-cm subcostal incision. Using 5-mm instruments, a left adrenalectomy was performed. The specimen was dissected (harmonic scalpel) and extracted...

BACKGROUND By combining trocar sites and extraction incision, Laparo-endoscopic Single-site Surgery (LESS) may provide less morbidity than traditional laparoscopy. Concerns continue about LESS for locally advanced tumors. We present our experience with LESS-radical nephrectomy with renal vein thrombectomy (LESS-RN-RVT) CASE PRESENTATION: Between 5-6/2009, 2 patients underwent LESS-RN-RVT (1 rig...

BACKGROUND As laparoscopy becomes a standard approach in many urological procedures, researchers strive to make minimally invasive surgery less invasive. Our objective was to apply recent innovations in equipment and surgical approaches to develop the technique and perform laparo-endoscopic single site radical prostatectomy (LESS-RP). METHODS The technique for LESS-RP was derived by combining...

Laparo-Endoscopic Single-Site surgery (LESS) for kidney diseases is quickly evolving and has a tendency to expand the urological armory of surgical techniques. However, we should not be overwhelmed by the surgical skills only and weight it against the basic clinical and oncological principles when compared to standard laparoscopy. The initial goal is to define the ideal candidates and ideal cen...
