In the ever-evolving field of surgery, the integration of data and technology has ushered in a new era of surgical training and education, where precision and proficiency are elevated. We recently had the privilege of speaking with Peter Nau, MD, MS, FACS, Clinical Professor of Surgery-Gastrointestinal, Minimally Invasive and Bariatric Surgery, Surgical Director of the Digestive Health Center, ...
I recently had the pleasure of attending the IPEG annual meeting in Sorrento, Italy. The collegiality of the surgeons attending the conference was fantastic, and the views of Sorrento and the Island of Capri were stunning. With smaller accessible markets (due to smaller patient volumes and higher incidence of rare disease), specialty areas like pediatrics have been overlooked and under-addressed ...
This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. ...
Although originally demonstrated in open prostatectomy procedures, sparing the NVB as described by Walsh, et al, has been shown to be equally, and in some reported literature, more effective in preserving potency and continence outcomes when the laparoscopic or robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) approach is utilized. ...
Introduction & Objectives Efforts to improve continence after robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) have focused on preserving periurethral and bladder neck tissue and techniques involving posterior reconstructions and anterior suspensions. ...
Abstract Background: To describe the surgical technique and our initial experience of single-port laparoscopic neosalpingostomy (SP-LN) for treatment of hydrosalpinx. Materials and methods: This prospective observational study was carried out at University teaching hospitals. ...
Abstract Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has proven to be a safe and effective procedure, with low rates of com- plications and mortality since its introduction in the late 1980s. ...
Summary 41m: To assess the initial results of single umbilical incision laparoscopic cholecystectomies (SUILC) performed by the members of the Club Coelio. ...
Introduction The first laparoscopic cholecystectomy was reported in 1987, introducing an era of minimally invasive surgery for this common procedure. Advantages of the laparoscopic approach include reduced postoperative pain and recovery time and improved cosmesis.17 Since its introduction, the laparoscopic approach has been modified to reduce ...
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a highly prevalent disease. It affects about two thirds of adults in the U.S. at some point in their lives and accounts for greater than 4 million physician visits every yearl?. The so-called typical symptoms of GERD consist of heartburn, regurgitation and dysphagia. Cough, wheezing, hoarseness or chest pain may be present and are termed atypical ...
Johns Hopkins University has always been at the forefront of numerous innovations in robotic-assisted surgery, more recently with the development of a robotic platform capable of performing laparoscopic surgery on the soft tissue of a pig without the guiding hand of a human, on a significant step toward procedure automatization. ...
That’s why so many women in your situation are excited to discover minimally invasive ways to treat fibroids that doesn’t involve a hysterectomy. The Acessa procedure is laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation, or Lap RFA, designed to treat fibroids. ...
Through the experience of their co-founder they saw the difficulties faced by surgeons who use laparoscopic tools to achieve great progress in outcomes but with limits. ...
For example, procedures like endometrial ablation for the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding and myomectomy or laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation for the treatment of fibroids, have helped millions of women treat their symptoms with minimized pain and reduced recovery time. ...
This reduction in medical waste will have a positive impact on the amount of plastic waste produced by laparoscopic surgical procedures. https://www.unipipes.com/blog/plastics-medical-industry As the ecological needs of our world continue to change, so should our manufacturing practices. ...
GreenSleeve Surgical, Inc. is bringing positive change to laparoscopic access. We are proud to be a company that takes the extra steps to bring high quality, surgical devices to the market all while using products, packaging and processes, that are environmentally responsible. ...
Methods A total of 12 minimally invasive procedures were performed on six pigs (5 cholecystectomies, 3 Nissen fun-doplicaiions, 1 splenectomy and 1 hepatic pedicle dissection) and on one human cadaver (1 cholecystectomy and 1 Nissen fundoplication), by four laparoscopic surgeons. The usability of the device was assessed by means of the modified objective structured assessment of ...

” Leblond said a form of the device could also be incorporated into other instruments, such as specialized needles used for taking biopsies, to improve their accuracy; in surgical robots used to remove tumours in laparoscopic, or keyhole, operations; and for scope-based procedures such as a colonoscopy. ...
Ultrasound is difficult to interpret, and complex laparoscopic procedures make needle placement extremely challenging. Misplacement results in multiple stabs, correction procedures, patient injury, and incomplete interventions. ...
