BACKGROUND The laparoscopic cholecystectomies performed through single site surgery, despite undoubted aesthetic results, are costly and technically difficult to be performed. The suprapubic approach presents as a simpler and cheaper alternative with good aesthetic results. AIM To report the experience of Garavelo Hospital on laparoscopic cholecystectomy with suprapubic approach. METHODS De...

INTRODUCTION Stone retropulsion during ureteroscopic lithotripsy may lead to additional procedures needed for residual calculi. Several devices have been introduced in an attempt to reduce retropulsion. We set out to report our initial experience utilizing the new polymeric gel, BackStop. MATERIAL AND METHODS We prospectively collected data on 7 ureteroscopy procedures with distal ureteral ca...

The objective of this pilot study was to examine the usefulness of limbal autograft transplantation (LCAT) in the treatment of recurrent pterygium. Eleven eyes with advanced recurrent pterygium underwent LCAT. All eyes were previously treated at least two times either by simple excision (10) or conjunctival rotation autograft (1). In two eyes (18.18%) symblepharon was present at the time of sur...

BACKGROUND Minimally invasive procedures are performed in neonates for an ever-expanding list of congenital anomalies. The laparoscopic repair of duodenal atresia and stenosis in the neonate is one such indication. METHOD We report our experience with the laparoscopic duodenoduodenostomy for duodenal atresia and stenosis in the neonate over the past 4 years. A retrospective chart review was c...

To the Editor: The article “Lower Intraoperative Flap Complication Rate with the Hansatome Microkeratome Compared to the Automated Corneal Shaper” (Walker MB, Wilson SE. J Refract Surg 2000;16:79-82) concludes that the Hansatome is less likely to have intraoperative flap complications than the Automated Corneal Shaper (ACS). This may be true but the methods used in the study do not allow this c...
