Conn's syndrome, an aldosterone producing adenoma, is a surgically curable cause of primary aldosteronism, classically treated by unilateral adrenalectomy. With the advent of laparoscopic surgery in the recent decade, laparoscopic adrenalectomy is currently accepted as the gold standard of treatment for Conn's syndrome. Cortical sparing adrenalectomy is especially an ideal operation for patient...

OBJECTIVE Pancreatic laparoscopic surgery represents one of the most discussed and demanding fields in surgery. Total pancreatectomy is considered to a viable option for treating both benign and malignant pathologies of the pancreas and, thanks to the introduction of laparoscopic techniques for pancreatic resections into clinical practice, it can be performed nowadays with a less invasive appro...

case presentation we report a case where a substantial right ovarian cyst in a 13 year old was removed through a single incision in the superior umbilical fold leaving no discernable scar. the placement of a purse string facilitated safe decompression of the cyst allowing delivery into the wound where the lining was stripped before being returned to the abdomen. conclusions subsequent single in...

Cases of minimally-invasive surgery are gaining acceptance among surgeons and animal owners. One type of minimally-invasive surgery is total splenectomy, which is indicated for splenic tumors, trauma, torsions, and for dogs that require blood transfusion. To assess the safety of the technique, experimental laparoscopic splenectomies were performed in dogs for the first time in Iran. Three adult...

BACKGROUND Robotic surgery is a new technique with the benefits of a three-dimensional view, the ability to use multi-degree-of-freedom forceps, the elimination of physiological tremors, and a stable camera view. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and short-term outcomes of robotic surgery for colorectal cancer as initial cases, compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery...

The introduction of laparoscopy is an example of surgical innovation with a rapid implementation in many areas of surgery. A large number of controlled studies and meta-analyses have shown that laparoscopic colorectal surgery is associated with the same benefits than other minimally invasive procedures, including lesser pain, earlier recovery of bowel transit and shorter hospital stay. On the o...

Despite the wide spread use of laparoscopic techniques for malignant tumors, the oncological merits have not yet been fully determined. In this article, the author has reviewed reports of the therapeutic results of laparoscopically treated colorectal cancer and the literature for basic science experiments relating to CO2 pneumoperitoneum and the mechanisms of spread and metastasis of cancers. S...

Superior mesenteric artery (SMA) syndrome is a mechanical duodenal obstruction by the SMA. The traditional approach to SMA syndrome was open bypass surgery. Nowadays, a conventional approach has been replaced by laparoscopic surgery. But single incision laparoscopic approach for SMA syndrome is rare. Herein, we report the first case of SMA syndrome patient who was treated by single incision lap...

The incidence of colorectal cancer is constantly increasing. With the improvement residents' health need and continuous development surgery, more patients with have a history abdominal surgery. Complex adhesions put forward higher requirements for surgeons. use Veress puncture needle to establish pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic-assisted surgery leads an increased side injury.Open laparoscopy e...
