The use of indocyanine green and near-infrared imaging in laparoscopic completion cholecystectomy for the management of stump cholecystitis: A case series. J. Minim. Access Surg. (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2023-09-20 Sanatan Dattaram Bhandarkar,Vishakha Rajendra Kalikar,Advait Patankar,Roy Patankar
Introduction Stump cholecystitis is managed by performing a completion cholecystectomy, which can be done either laparoscopically or by an open method. The use of indocyanine green (ICG) is known to improve the identification of the biliary tree anatomy, facilitating Calot's triangle dissection and shortening surgery, thereby reducing the risk of bile duct injuries and making laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Laparoscopic limited hemicolectomy for descending colo-colic intussusception in an adult. J. Minim. Access Surg. (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2023-09-20 Akash Akash,Aditya Kumar,Nikhil Gupta
Intussusception in adults represents 1% of bowel obstructions and up to 0.02% of all hospital admissions. Amongst these, colo-colic intussusception of the descending colon forms the rarest of causes due to the fixed nature of the descending colon. Most of adult intussusceptions follow a lead point and are commonly due to colonic malignancy which may get missed on pre-operative evaluation. Surgery is

(IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2023-01-01 Hamza Sekkat,Amine Souadka,Leila Alaoui,Ali Rafik,Zakaria Belkhadir,Laila Amrani,Amine Benkabbou,Raouf Mohsine,Anass Mohammed Majbar
Objective This study aimed to analyse the learning curve (LC) in laparoscopic rectal cancer resections of 2 millennial surgeons during the implementation of the first laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery programme in low- and middle-income country (LMIC) cancer centre. Methods All consecutive patients operated by two millennial surgeons for primary rectal adenocarcinoma between January 2018 and March

A 'twist' in the tale of a 'simple' laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Duplication of the gall bladder. J. Minim. Access Surg. (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2023-01-01 Bappaditya Har,Yogesh Upadhyay,Rajesh Bhojwani
The duplication of the gall bladder (GB) is unusual biliary anatomy that can be encountered during cholecystectomy and can create intraoperative confusion if missed on pre-operative imaging. Here, we describe a case of duplication of GB in a young female, which was detected during laparoscopic cholecystectomy as an operative surprise. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was done successfully with the removal

Laparoscopic management of symptomatic urachus remnants in adults: A retrospective study. J. Minim. Access Surg. (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2023-01-01 Mohammed A Bawahab
Aim To report our experience in the laparoscopic management of symptomatic urachal remnants (URs) in adults. Patients and Methods A retrospective study included all patients who underwent laparoscopic excision of URs during the period January 2015-January 2020. The following data were retrieved from the files of the patients: demographic data, clinical presentations, intra-operative findings, the procedure

Laparoscopic subcutaneous onlay mesh repair for ventral hernia: Our early experience. J. Minim. Access Surg. (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2023-01-01 Ramesh Makam,Tulip Chamany,Basavaraj Nagur,Suhas Satish Bilchod,Atul Kulkarni
Introduction Repair of the ventral hernia is an ongoing challenge in surgery, and a number of surgical techniques have been developed ranging from direct suturing techniques to the use of various mesh types in different planes of the abdominal wall to close the defect and strengthen the musculofascial tissue. Laparoscopic subcutaneous onlay mesh (SCOM) repair is a novel procedure developed recently

Veress needle insertion simulation model: A simple new module for advanced surgical skill training. J. Minim. Access Surg. (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2023-01-01 William Durchholz,Connor Shea,Daniel Kronner,Faiz Tuma
Introduction Training on Veress needle (VN) insertion cannot be done by observation without practicing tactile feedback. In this study, a simple and reproducible VN insertion training model was created. The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of using the proposed model in simulating actual real-life surgical experiences. Methods The proposed VN insertion training model is made of three

Laparoscopic concomitant cholecystectomy and splenectomy for true left-sided gall bladder with hereditary spherocytosis. J. Minim. Access Surg. (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2023-04-13 Vineeth Bhargav Saraf,Sameer Ashok Rege
A true left-sided gall bladder (LSG) is a rare finding, is mostly discovered incidentally and often presents with symptoms similar to those of a normally positioned gall bladder. The diagnosis in most cases is intraoperative. The surgical technique is frequently difficult, with an increased risk of intraoperative injuries and conversion to open surgery. In this case report, we describe a rare scenario

Awake uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for the management of pericardial effusion. J. Minim. Access Surg. (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2023-04-13 Murat Ersin Cardak,Seyhmus Külahçioglu,Esin Erdem
Introduction Pericardial drainage can be performed either with pericardiocentesis or pericardial "window" in cases with hemodynamic compromise for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. Awake single-port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is an alternative to pericardial window (PW) that has been described only in case reports in the literature. We aimed to analyse a series of patients with

Percutaneous creation of new bilioenteric anastomosis in a patient with accidentally failed hepaticojejunostomy. J. Minim. Access Surg. (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2023-04-13 Suyoung Park,Jeong Ho Kim,Jung Han Hwang,Sung Hyun Yu,Sang Tae Choi
If the cause of the bile leakage after hepaticojejunostomy is accidental non-anastomosis of one bile duct, it is unlikely that the leakage will resolve spontaneously, and reoperation may be necessary. However, if the patient has contraindications to surgery, other treatments should be considered. In this case report, we describe a new percutaneous tract creation between the isolated right bile duct

Prospective cohort study investigating quality of life outcomes following multi-speciality robotic-assisted surgery. J. Minim. Access Surg. (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2023-04-13 Ang Li,Christina T Stanislaus,Daniel Steffens,Kate E McBride,Scott Leslie,Ruban Thanigasalam,Michelle Cunich
Introduction Despite recent evidence on the surgical outcomes of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS), other patient centre outcomes, including quality of life (QOL), are lacking. This study aims to examine changes in QoL trajectories following RAS across different surgical specialities. Patients and Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted for patients undergoing urologic, cardiothoracic, colorectal

Laparoscopic transperitoneal adrenalectomy for adrenal tumours of 6 cm or greater: A single-centre experience. J. Minim. Access Surg. (IF 0.8) Pub Date : 2023-04-13 Bahadır Oz,Ömer Cücük,Mustafa Gök,Alper Akcan,Erdoğan Sözüer
Background The present study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) for large adrenal tumours by comparing the outcomes of tumours larger than 6 cm with those smaller than 6 cm and also to identify the risk factors associated with prolonged operative time in transperitoneal LA. Patients and Methods One hundred and sixty-three patients underwent
