background: laparoscopy or minimally invasive surgery is a surgical procedure in which laparoscope and other surgical instruments are inserted inside body via a few small incisions. laparoscope is used to look inside the patient's body and records displayed images. temporal segmentation of laparoscopic videos has many applications like detecting laparoscopic anomalies and interrupts. it is prer...

Background: Proximal humeral fracture-dislocations (PHFD) are a special entity in proximal humeral fracturetreatment. The aim of this study is to present our minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) technique throughan anterolateral deltoid split approach. In addition, we performed a retrospective cohort study analyzing the patientreported functional outcome and complica...

Growing data suggest that lymphadenectomy is a critical component of the surgical management of urologic malignancies with both diagnostic and therapeutic benefit. The increased use of minimally invasive approaches for the management of urologic malignancies may be in conflict with the need for more extensive lymphadenectomy with these procedures. The purpose of this review is to summarize the ...

IMPORTANCE As many surgical procedures have undergone a transition from a standard, open surgical approach to a minimally invasive one in the past 2 decades, the diffusion of minimally invasive surgery may have had sizeable but overlooked effects on medical expenditures and worker productivity. OBJECTIVE To examine the impact of standard vs minimally invasive surgery on health plan spending a...

background aesthetic surgery procedures have been performed at dramatically increased rates in recent years in iran. few researches exist documenting the usage of body image coping strategies and its relationship in seeking surgery. methods the present research examined data from 90 aesthetic surgery participants (30 ss each in invasive, minimally-invasive, and control groups). assessed subject...

The elderly patient is generally counseled with caution regarding open surgical procedures because of the relatively high morbidity and mortality associated when compared with similar procedures in younger patients without comorbidities. However, there is an ever-increasing utilization of minimally invasive surgical approaches to urological conditions with demonstrable benefits over open surger...

Robotic surgery has greatly improved surgeon dexterity and ergonomics but has substantially increased the number and size of ports required. The typical robotic surgical procedure will use three 8-mm ports and two 12-mm ports. Single-port laparoscopy, also known as Laparo-Endoscopic Single Site (LESS) surgery, is an attempt to further enhance cosmetic benefits and reduce morbidity of minimally ...

Hysterectomy is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the United States. Selection of the route of hysterectomy for benign causes can be influenced by the size and shape of the vagina and uterus; accessibility to the uterus; extent of extrauterine disease; the need for concurrent procedures; surgeon training and experience; average case volume; available hospital technolog...

The introduction of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery has facilitated the application of minimally invasive surgical techniques to many complex reconstructive and extirpative procedures. Even early on in their learning experience, robotic surgeons have been able to complete procedures using a minimally invasive approach, but would not have been able to do so using a purely laparoscopic techni...
