Although laparoscopy is one of the most common surgical procedures done today, bowel perforations can and do occur during the initial insertion of the Veress needle and/or trocar. Recent advances in microlaparoscopy have reduced the morbidity of this complication when encountered. We report a case of small bowel perforation following insertion of a Veress needle with its 2 mm trocar and our min...

Background: In children with unilateral inguinal hernia, there is a debate about exploration of the contralateral side. Herniogrhaphy, diagnostic pneumoperitoneum, and intra-operative laparoscopy are procedures that have been proposed to reduce number negative side explorations in presenting congenital hernia. However, most them invasive methods. our study we suggest using ultrasonography detec...

Urology has continuously embraced novel technologies, such as shockwave lithotripsy, lasers, and laparoscopy, that reduce patient morbidity yet maintain an excellent standard of care. To potentially increase the clinical applicability of laparoscopy, robots that enhance operative performance have recently been introduced for a variety of laparoscopic procedures, such as laparoscopic radical pro...

The treatment of bilateral inguinal hernias using totally extraperitoneal laparoscopy is usually done with general anaesthesia. The objective of this article is to evaluate the regional anaesthesia technique in extraperitoneal laparoscopic surgery for treating bilateral inguinal hernias in an outpatient surgery unit. Prospective clinical study of 30 patients with uncomplicated bilateral inguina...

BACKGROUND Techniques in genitourinary oncologic surgery have evolved over the past several years, shifting from traditional open approaches toward minimally invasive routes by laparoscopy. METHODS We reviewed the literature on laparoscopic surgery for genitourinary cancer, with emphasis on contemporary indications, complications, and oncologic outcome of laparoscopic surgery for urologic mal...

Methods In the solid tumor model, a lump of 350-mg CC-531 tumor cells was placed intraperitoneally in rats having C02 pneumoperitoneum (n = 8), gasless laparoscopy (n = 8), or conventional laparotomy (n = 8). After 20 minutes, the solid tumor was removed through a laparoscopic port or through the laparotomy. In the cell seeding model, 5 x 105 CC-531 cells were injected intraperitoneally before ...

BACKGROUND Torsion of an otherwise normal appendix vermiformis is exceedingly rare and usually presents with symptoms consistent with acute appendicitis. We present the unusual case of an infant girl who was admitted with right lower quadrant pain and focal peritonitis who was found to have appendiceal torsion on laparoscopy. CASE REPORT An 11-week-old girl was brought to the emergency depar...

BACKGROUND Standard treatment of large gastric bezoars not amenable to medical or endoscopic management is surgical removal. The optimal operative approach, laparotomy versus laparoscopy, is a contested subject. Though laparoscopic removal has been described, it remains a relatively new technique for surgical management with outcome literature limited to case reports. In addition, currently des...

PURPOSE Single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) offers excellent cosmetic results and may be associated with decreased postoperative pain and accelerated recovery. Although there have been reports of cholecystectomy and appendectomy using SILS, there have been few reports of gastric resection with intracorporeal reconstruction of the digestive tract using SILS. The first single-incision lap...
