Using laparoscopy for VP shunt placement can decrease rate of distal shunt failures
Researchers conducted a prospective randomized controlled clinical trial at Bern University Hospital in Switzerland to compare a laparoscopic procedure with a mini-laparotomy for insertion of a peritoneal catheter during ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt surgery. The deciding factor was the rate of shunt malfunction. Although overall shunt failure rates did not differ substantially between patients in the two surgery groups, the authors identified a significant reduction in the rate of di
Laparoscopy is a form of minimally invasive or keyhole surgery. In this type of surgery, a surgeon can examine the inside of the abdomen or pelvis using small incisions to insert tools and instruments. A laparoscope, which has a camera and light at the tip is passed through the incision and used to relay images of the internal structures to a TV monitor. This type of surgery is prefer

"laparoscopic" can be used in the comprehensive treatment of tumors
Laparoscopic surgery can be widely used in the comprehensive treatment of tumors. Beijing Cancer Hospital General Surgery successfully performed laparoscopic radical resection for an 88-year-old man. This is by far the oldest patient to be treated with laparoscopic surgery in the hospital. It is noteworthy that Su Xiangqian, an associate professor of the Beijing Cancer Hospital General Surgery for this patient, took the lead in applying laparoscopic techniques to the comprehensive treatment of tumors in the oncology hospital. In the past two years, laparoscopic radica
Does the FDA recommend discontinuing laparoscopic instruments?
The US Food and Drug Administration has recommended that the use of uterine smashers in laparoscopic uterine myomectomy and hysterectomy may cause unknown tumors to spread in the abdominal cavity, leading to an increased risk of disease. This proposal has caused tremendous repercussions and discussions. At one time, there were different opinions and no one. And our experts suggest that, just like the usual sterility awareness during surgery, everyone should also establish a sense of no tumor, this consciousness should be implemented in the whole process of preoperative diagn
The first laparoscopic kidney transplant in the UK
According to foreign media reports, a former British soldier has become the first patient in the UK to undergo laparoscopic kidney transplantation. Brian Blanchard suffers from kidney failure and needs to be maintained by dialysis. Last month, the doctor performed a kidney transplant with laparoscopic surgery. There are two breakthroughs in this technology. One is that the transplanted organ comes from his sister Pam Marphett. The doctor takes out the donated kidney through her groin instead of the traditional abdomen, leaving almost no postoperative scars.

Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery into the 3D era
Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery into the 3D era Ruijin Hospital takes the lead in three-dimensional field of vision operation, superior visual effects bring greater safety In the busy and nervous operating room, the surgeons wore "3D sunglasses". The two doctors held the robotic arm and looked up the movement in the patient's abdominal cavity on the display. Different from the past, on this display labeled "3DHD", the abdominal organs and blood vessels are well-defined, just like watching a 3D movie.
The latest innovations in laparoscopic access that improve surgical safety, efficiency and economy.
Laparoscopic surgery depends on access. Trocars and ports serve as conduits for cameras; grasping, dissecting, cutting and sealing instruments; mesh positioners; staplers and a host of other devices reaching in to treat the otherwise untouchable surgical site in the abdominal cavity. The narrower instruments and smaller incision sizes that support minimally invasive surgery shrink the necessary diameter of the
Success in the rapidly growing endoscopic spine surgery (ESS) space often comes down to striking a delicate balance between two sometimes disparate factors: Your surgeons` preferences and your vendor relationships. [You need to find the right surgeons who are willing to work with you to use the lowest-cost option with the highest quality of
Endoscopic carpal tunnel release offers patients a fast-track to recovery.
The day before I spoke with Peter Kim, MD, an orthopedic hand surgery specialist in the Boston area, he performed a unilateral endoscopic carpal tunnel release on a friend and colleague, another orthopedic surgeon. The surgery took place on Monday. Dr. Kim`s coworker was seeing patients by that Wednesday and operating again on Thursday - a mere three days after undergoing the minimally invasive surgical procedure. Not long before he ope
Surgical site infections (SSIs), among the most common complications in health care, are responsible for delayed wound healing, hospital readmissions and other health ramifications. A study recently published in JAMA Network found that 0.5% to 3% of patients undergoing surgery will experience an infection at or adjacent to the surgical site.
Seeing clearly Years ago, high definition (HD) was all the rage. But technology is advancing so rapidly that, in the operating room, HD is now actually considered low resolution. 4K is now the baseline resolution we aim for anytime we build out or install systems. 4K provides enhanced color, sharpness and clarity that offers surgeons visualization advantages without the multimillion-d
If you give a patient the choice between a one-and-a-half-centimeter incision on the crease in their wrist with a speedy recovery prognosis or a four-to-five centimeter opening on the palm of their hand that takes a little longer to heal, they`ll naturally gravitate toward that smaller incision and quicker recovery. At least that`s been the experience of Philip C. Marin, MD, a double board-certified plastic, reconstructive and hand surg
Preventing Laparoscopic ESU Burns
The chief questions that you have to address in dealing with laparoscopic electrosurgery safety are who's at risk of being burned and how significant that risk is. The answer to the former is your patients. And to the latter: very significant. Every time a surgeon steps on the monopolar foot pedal during laparoscopy, the possibility of a potentially fatal stray electrosurgical burn exists. Further, surgical fa
7 signs that colorectal surgeons are pushing laparoscopy into the mainstream.
Laparoscopic colorectal surgery got off to a slow start in the 1990s because of concerns that the "little sticks" made it more difficult for the surgeon to effectively remove enough cancerous tissue and lymph nodes, compared to open surgery, as well as concerns over post-operative ileus, which can last 24 hours to a week. But experts we talked to say laparoscopy in colorectal surgery is making a comeback, thanks to better equipment, more positive evidence from clinical studies and more experienced colorec
Laparoscopic Suturing: Manual or Automatic?
Are automatic laparoscopic suturing devices worth the expense? The question is easy, but depending on whom you ask, the answers are considerably more complex and sometimes paradoxical - as is often the case when considering costs in relation to the benefits devices provide. 'They are efficient and technically very good, as far as the function of the devices goes, and they are certainly technically easier,' say
Laparoscopic Visualization Leaps Forward
Minimally invasive surgery is tough on surgeons, who constantly struggle to manage the technique's inherent challenges: access to the abdominal cavity, and clear views of tissue and anatomy. Luckily, newer laparoscopes offer promising solutions. Here are some of the latest improvements and the impact they can have on surgical visualization: Hi
Laparoscopic GYN: 4 Reasons to Go Gasless
When it comes to patient safety and surgeon comfort, gasless laparoscopy is my preferred method of GYN surgery. Not only does the gasless method eliminate the dangers of CO2 gas, but it also lets your docs use the conventional instruments of laparotomy for better tactile sense. How? By combining the fundamentals of minimally invasive technique with the conventions of open surgery. Here's how it works: Instead
Laparoscopic Appendectomy More Successful, Less Costly Than Open Method
