This is a presentation of sharing endeavors at modifying and standardizing surgical procedures as well as establishing endoscopic surgical skill qualification in the field of pediatric surgery in Japan.

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 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...

Mixter and Barr (20) have first established the relationship between disc herniation and sciatica in 1934 (20). Yasargil (36) and Caspar (4) have pioneered the minimally invasive lumbar disc surgery by using surgical microscope and developing microinstruments in the 1970’s. Hijikata has performed the first percutaneous discectomy in 1975. Kambin (17) has first used an arthroscope for discectomy...

The treatment of severe pancreatitis and its complications is rapidly evolving because of increasing clinical application of effective, minimally invasive techniques. With ongoing innovations in therapeutic endoscopy, image-guided percutaneous techniques, and minimally invasive surgery, the long-standing traditional management algorithms have recently changed. A multidisciplinary approach is ne...

conclusions radio-guided localization of non-palpable breast lesions is an acceptable method because of technical facilitation, accurate localization and complete excision with limited complications. so it can be recommended as an alternative method for wire-guided localization. results pathologic results were benign in 90.5% and malignant in 9.5% of patients. post-operative margin of lesion wa...

Accurate cancer staging is essential in patients with hollow viscus malignancy to decide therapeutic modalities. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is considered as the best modality for local staging of hollow viscus cancer. EUS-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) is a minimally invasive and effective sampling method. EUS-FNA should be applied when positive diagnosis of malignancy can possibly change...

background: breast conservation therapy (bct) is the standard of care for early stage breast cancer. the procedure can be a challenge for the surgeon if the lesion is non-palpable. for excision of non-palpable breast lesions, they should be localized precisely before surgery. there are different techniques such as the wgl (wire guided localization), roll (radio-guided occult lesion localization...
