Large cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland: Laparoscopic treatment. Report of a case
2015
Highlights • Identify the preoperative radiologic features of adrenal hemangioma. • We examine the better surgical approach for adrenal tumors and adrenal hemangioma. • Controindication to laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
Laparoscopic treatment of mesenteric avulsion and intestinal perforation after blunt abdominal trauma: A report of a case
2020
Highlights • Intestinal injuries are quite involved in non-penetrating abdominal trauma after liver and spleen. • The incidence of small bowel injury after blunt abdominal trauma has increased nowadays, since high-energy transfer impacts producing large abdominal wall displacements are more frequent, such as car crash. • We report a case of a 49-year-old Caucasian woman, victim of a violent car crash, resulting in multiple small bowel perforations and mesenteric avulsion treated with laparoscopic approach. • Laparoscopy is a safe and feasible tool in selected patients with blunt abdominal trauma, both for diagnosis and treatment. • The prerequisites for applying mini invasive approach are b…
The occlusive tourniquet: a simple method for rectal stump washout during open and laparoscopic surgery.
2007
Rectal stump washout with cytolytic agents is recommended and usually performed during anterior rectal or rectosigmoid resection. The use of a linear stapler instrument during ultralow anterior resection makes the placement of pelvic clamps difficult for rectal stump washout prior to resection. The objective of this work is to demonstrate the use of a simple procedure, the occlusive tourniquet for rectal stump washout. Occlusive tourniquet applied to open technique: after complete dissection of the rectum and sigmoid colon according to the usual technique, a simple piece of tubing from an intravenous line is passed behind and around the rectum/sigmoid colon at some point distal to the tumor…
Laparoscopic near-total splenectomy. Report of a case
2020
Highlights • We describe a case report of near total splenectomy managed by laparoscopy for a large lesion of the upper pole of the spleen. • When total splenectomy is performed, an increased risk of potentially lethal infections arises. Asplenia and impaired splenic function are related to the increase of morbidity and mortality from infectious complications. • The overwhelming post splenectomy infections (OPSI) are mostly represented by fulminating sepsis, meningitis or pneumonia. • laparoscopic near total splenectomy is an innovative partial splenectomy technique consisting on preserving a residual spleen volume. • The comparison between other spleen preserving techniques shows that LNTS…
Innovation in endocrine surgery: robotic versus laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Meta-analysis and systematic literature review.
2017
Several studies in the last years demonstrated the better surgical outcome of laparoscopic approach to adrenal gland. Laparoscopic surgery is more difficult to learn and requires different psychomotor skills than open surgery, especially with regard to complex maneuvers requiring precision and dexterity. The development of robotic platform with three-dimensional vision and increased degrees of freedom of the surgical instruments has the aim to overcome these problems. We performed a systematic literature review with meta-analysis to evaluate preoperative data and surgical outcomes of robotic adrenalectomy compared with laparoscopic technique. In September 2016 we performed a systematic lite…
Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogue or dienogest plus estradiol valerate to prevent pain recurrence after laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis…
2015
Objectives To evaluate the efficacy of dienogest + estradiol valerate (E2V) and gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRH-a) in reducing recurrence of pain in patients with chronic pelvic pain due to laparoscopically diagnosed and treated endometriosis. Design Multi-center, prospective, randomized study. Setting Three university departments of obstetrics and gynecology in Italy. Population Seventy-eight women who underwent laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis combined with chronic pelvic pain. Methods Post-operative administration of dienogest + E2V for 9 months (group 1) or GnRH-a monthly for 6 months (group 2). Main outcome measures A visual analogue scale was used to test intensit…
Predictors of Pain Development after Laparoscopic Adnexectomy: A Still Open Challenge
2022
Surgical postoperative pain is one of the key factors affecting patient recovery after a procedure and one of the most important elements to consider when dealing with new surgical approaches.
Īslaicīgu dzīves kvalitāšu izmaiņu un komplikāciju salīdzinājums pēc atvērtas un laparoskopiskas prostatektomijas
2020
Ievads: Prostatas vēzis ieņem pirmo vietu vīriešiem starp onkoloģiskām saslimšanām Latvijā radikālu prostatektomiju (RP) skaits pieaug. Lokalizēta prostatas vēža ārstēšanai, tiek pielietotas divu veidu procedūras: atvērta un laparoskopiska RP. Ir nepieciešams izvērtēt, kura procedūra sniegs labākus rezultātus pacientam pēc operācijas un mazāk izmainīs dzīves kvalitāti pēc tās. Darba mērķis: Analizēt, kura operācijas pieeja ir ar mazāk komplikācijām un mazāk ietekmē dzīves kvalitāti pacientam. Materiāli un metodes: Prospektīvs pētījums. Tika pielietota aptaujas pētījuma metode. Pacienti iestājās uz plānveida operāciju, ir divas grupas – atvērta RP un laparoskopiska RP. RLP grupā tika iekļaut…
Surgical treatment of endometrioid endometrial carcinoma - laparotomy versus laparoscopy.
2022
Objective: Recent publications have raised doubts about the oncological safety of a laparoscopic approach in the treatment of endometrial cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the beneficial aspects of laparoscopy versus laparotomy in patients with endometrial cancer, and present oncological outcomes. Material and methods: A retrospective study of patients who underwent surgery for the treatment of endometrioid endometrial cancer was performed. Surgical outcomes and complications in patients who were treated by laparoscopy or open surgery were compared. The patients were followed for 5-years. Patients' characteristics, tumor stage, complications rate and oncologic outcome were an…
Laparotomic vs laparoscopic ovariectomy: comparing the two methods. The ovariectomy in the bitch in laparoscopic era
2015
BACKGROUND: The aim of the present work is to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of ultrasound scalpel during laparoscopic ovariectomy in the bitch. METHODS: Two groups of 10 subjects each, of different races and ages, were compared. In the first group, ovariectomy was performed laparoscopically, using harmonic scalpel to remove ovary. In the second group surgery was performed by means of classical laparotomy. RESULTS: Pre-operative time was similar in both groups. Total operative time, from incision to skin suture, showed significant difference between the two groups, being laparoscopy faster than laparotomy. Partial operative time for bilateral oophorectomy resulted lower using open te…
