摘要:

An instrument for accurately and expeditiously tightening extracorporeal knots during laparoscopic surgery is presented. This instrument has been used successfully in a variety of laparoscopic procedures such as herniorrhaphy, cholecystectomy, oophorectomy, and others in which sutures were required to complete the operation.

摘要:

The relatively new field of endoscopic surgery shows much promise and allows alternative treatment options. With increasing numbers of surgeons gaining experience with this technique, new approaches to old conditions are being reported. We present the case of a young female with partial small bowel obstruction secondary to an adhesive band; the condition was readily diagnosed using the laparoscope and treated. We show that in appropriate patient selection, this method is a viable and easily performed alternative to formal laparotomy.

摘要:

Thoracoscopy has specific advantages over traditional open thoracotomy, including shorter hospitalization, decreased recovery time, and an earlier return to the work force. Thoracoscopy and bleb ablation using sophisticated lasers has been successful in treating spontaneous pneumothorax. We have recently completed thoracoscopy bleb ablation with PDS Endoloop (Polyclioxanone, Ethicon, Inc., Somervilte, NJ, U.S.A.) and pleurodesis in a patient with a recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax. The chest tube was removed and the patient discharged on the 3rd postoperative day. He returned to work on the 7th postoperative day. This new procedure can be used on selected patients with small blebs.

摘要:

We have devised a new “soft trocar” for laparoscopic surgery. This translucent trocar, made of silicon, has a flexible sleeve that permits a curved instrument to pass through. Eighteen patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with the use of the soft trocar. There were no complications related to its use. The soft trocar is useful during laparoscopic cholecystectomy because it is radiolucent, a curved forceps can be inserted, and it is potentially less traumatic to the abdominal viscera than a standard trocar.
