The liver is the most common site of colorectal cancer metastatic spread, which occurs in about 50% patients. Although synchronous disease considered to have a less favorable biology and poorer prognosis compared metachronous disease, surgery nowadays only therapy offering potential cure. Only 20% these patients are eligible for surgery. Radical resection primary colon metastasis may allow 5-ye...

background the number of laparoscopic procedures done each year continues to rise substantially. clinically significant hemorrhage from secondary port sites at laparoscopy is an uncommon but serious complication and can become unrecognized intraoperatively. abdominal wall hemorrhage and bruising may complicate laparoscopic operative procedures. methods we propose an easy technical gesture to st...

ovariectomy (ove) is a routine surgical procedure for neutering in small animal practice. laparoscopy is a new surgical technique which contains advantages such as less trauma, smaller incision and excellent visualization than traditional open surgery. the present study was conducted to examine the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic procedure through two portal comparing with the convention...

OBJECTIVES To compare patient characteristics, operative variables, and outcomes of 24 patients who underwent robotic-assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) with 44 patients who underwent conventional TLH. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 44 patients with TLH and 24 patients with robotic TLH. RESULTS Robotic TLH was associated with a shorter hospital stay (1.0 vs 1.4 days, P=...

BACKGROUND Although several studies compare surgical results of laparoscopic and open colonic resections, there is no study of laparoscopic gastrectomy compared with open gastrectomy. HYPOTHESIS When compared with conventional open gastrectomy, laparoscopy-assisted Billroth I gastrectomy is less invasive in patients with early-stage gastric cancer. DESIGN Retrospective review of operative d...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic surgery has revolutionized the concept of minimally invasive surgery for the last 3 decades. Robotic-assisted surgery is one of the latest innovations in the field of minimally invasive surgery. Already, many procedures have been performed in urology, cardiac surgery, and general surgery. In this article, we attempt to report our preliminary experience with robotic-assis...

Internal hernias are a rare cause of acute intestinal obstruction and defined as an incarceration the small bowel through natural or abnormal intra-abdominal orifice. Transomental internal represent 1 to 4% all reported generally observed after age 50years old. Imaging is still interest in diagnosis obstruction, but only 8% transomental would be diagnosed pre-operatively. Their surgical managem...

The aim of this study was to compare the safety and morbidity of laparoscopic versus laparotomic comprehensive staging of apparent early stage ovarian cancer.In this retrospective study, the outcomes of patients with apparent stage I ovarian cancer who underwent laparoscopic or laparotomic comprehensive surgical staging from January 2002 to January 2014 were evaluated. The long-term survival of...
