摘要:
Two methods are currently used in the treatment of achalasia: endoscopic balloon dilation and surgical Heller myotomy. Laparoscopy has come into use in achalasia surgery, and good outcomes have been achieved. This study included 11 patients (mean age, 30.7 years). Balloon dilation–assisted laparoscopic Heller myotomy and Dor fundoplication were performed in all patients. A 36-F orogastric tube was placed under visualization. The balloon of the tube was placed in the esophagogastric junction. After laparoscopic cardiomyotomy, the balloon was removed and Dor fundoplication was performed. The mean operative time was 90 minutes. The patients were discharged on the second and third postoperative days (mean [standard deviation], 3 ± 0.46). One month after the operation, the patients were tested with barium swallowing, and no complications or recurrences were observed. Laparoscopic distal esophagomyotomy combined with partial fundoplication may be the surgical approach of choice in achalasia because it is safer, provides good to excellent relief of symptoms and excellent cosmetic results, involves a shorter hospital stay, and is easy to execute. Balloon dilation makes myotomy easier because it separates the muscle fibers. Placing and insufflation of the balloon become safer because the entire procedure is executed under visualization; thus, excessive dilation is avoided.

摘要:
Our objective was to assess the complications of laparoscopic fundoplication in 77 patients older than 70 years of age. The indications for surgery were (1) complications of reflux esophagitis (n = 17), (2) large hiatal hernia (n = 10), (3) asthma and bronchitis (n = 7), (4) the need for other surgery (n = 13), and (5) a patient's desire to discontinue medical treatment that was controlling reflux esophagitis (n = 30). Operative time varied from 34 to 250 minutes (mean [standard deviation], 116 ± 20). Hospital stay varied from 12 hours to 19 days (mean, 1.2). No patient needed conversion to open operation. Intraoperative complications were observed in 4 patients (5.2%): left pneumothorax in 2, major operative bleeding in 1, and minor spleen lesion in 1. The most common postoperative complications were gas-bloating syndrome and dysphagia. Gastric ulcer was diagnosed in two. Other postoperative complications included acute delirium, acute urinary retention, and acute ischemia of the lower extremity. One patient died of congestive heart failure. It is concluded that laparoscopic fundoplication is an effective procedure for treating geriatric patients with reflux esophagitis and may be performed with low morbidity and mortality rates.

摘要:
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a safe and effective treatment in patients with unresectable liver malignancies. Since there is little information on its optimal approach, the feasibility, clinical outcome, and efficacy of laparoscopic RFA need further investigation. Twenty-three consecutive patients with unresectable hepatic malignancies were treated with RFA. RFA was performed percutaneously in 5 patients (5 tumors; median maximum diameter of 25 mm [range, 20–73]), via laparotomy in 9 (28 tumors; median maximum diameter of 38 mm [5–90]), and via laparoscopy in 9 (16 tumors; median maximum diameter of 35 mm [8–58]). Mortality and intraoperative complication rates were 0. In the laparoscopy and laparotomy groups, mean blood loss was 13 mL versus 421 mL and mean hospital stay was 5.7 versus 11.2 days, respectively (P= 0.0008 andP= 0.04). Postoperative complications occurred in one patient after laparoscopic RFA and in three after RFA via laparotomy. After a median follow-up of 12.2 months, local recurrence occurred in 2 patients (laparoscopic RFA, 1; percutaneous RFA, 1), and new hepatic tumors developed in 7 (laparoscopic RFA, 2/9; RFA via laparotomy, 5/9). Laparoscopic RFA is a safe and feasible treatment modality to achieve tumor destruction in selected patients with unresectable hepatic malignancies.

摘要:
We describe 50 patients who recently underwent laparoscopic surgery. Early results, complications, and follow-up data were collected prospectively. Of 50 patients, 34 had an incisional hernia, whereas 16 had a primary defect. Three trocars were inserted. EndoShears or Ultracision was used for tissue manipulation. The prosthetic mesh used was an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) mesh, inserted through the first trocar and fixed with a helicoidal stapler. Patients were followed-up in the outpatient clinic (mean, 14 months). Every operation was successfully completed, and mean operative time was 103 minutes. There were two small bowel injuries (4%) repaired by minilaparotomy. Postoperative pain was limited. Bowel movements, ambulation, and discharge were prompt. We noted 4 cases of urinary retention (8%), 8 seromas (16%), and 1 prolonged ileus, which resolved on day 5 spontaneously. Mean postoperative stay was 4 days. One patient was readmitted after 4 weeks because of incomplete obstruction, resolved conservatively. There has been only 1 recurrence (2%), 8 months after the operation. The technique appears safe and efficacious.

摘要:
Neck surgery is one of the newest fields of endoscopic surgical application. One hundred patients underwent endoscopic thyroidectomy. We used 3 incisions: 1 on both upper circumareolar areas and 1 approximately 3 cm below the clavicle on the tumor side. Subplatysmal and subcutaneous operative space was created with CO2insufflation at 6 mm Hg of pressure. The thyroidal vessels and the parenchyma of the gland were dissected and divided with ultrasonic scalpel and commonly used laparoscopic instruments. The mean (±SD) operation time was 136 ± 10 minutes before the year 2000 and 67 ± 9 in the year 2000 (P< 0.05). There were six cases of conversion to conventional thyroidectomy. Postoperative complications occurred in five cases. There was no subcutaneous emphysema. The patients were satisfied with the cosmetic result. On the basis of our experience with these 100 patients, we believe that endoscopic thyroidectomy is feasible and safe for resection of thyroid tumors. Thus, this procedure will provide another surgical technique for treatment of thyroid tumors, with maximized cosmetic effect.

摘要:
Although the standard method to manage gastric cancer is still radical gastrectomy, minimally invasive surgery is of great interest in early gastric cancer because of its potential impact on improving the quality of life, if the disease is curable. With its degree of technical difficulty, laparoscopic total gastrectomy has not yet met with widespread acceptance. However, using a hand-access device, a total gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy with a D1 plus alpha lymph node dissection and omentectomy with an Ultrashear was performed in its entirety. The operation took 6 hours, and the blood loss was 500 mL. The patient recovered uneventfully and was discharged on the 16th postoperative day. In terms of recovery and quality of life, laparoscopic total gastrectomy is a technically feasible and reasonable option for the management of early gastric cancer in the proximal stomach, especially when an endoscopic mucosal resection is not indicated.

摘要:
Laparoscopic reintervention is being increasingly performed in patients who have previously undergone surgery for gallstone disease. A few patients with gallbladder remnants or a cystic duct stump with residual stones have recurrent symptoms of biliary disease. Patients with bile duct injuries were excluded from the study. We reviewed our experience in treating such patients over a 4-year period, January 1998 through December 2001. Five patients underwent laparoscopic reintervention after previous surgery for gallstone disease performed elsewhere during the period mentioned above. Of these 5 patients, 3 had impacted stones in gallbladder remnants (laparoscopic cholecystectomy, 2; open cholecystectomy, 1) and 2 had recurrent symptoms after cholecystolithotomy and tube cholecystostomy (conventional surgery) performed elsewhere. Laparoscopic excision of the gall bladder remnants was done in 3 patients and a formal laparoscopic cholecystectomy was done in 2 patients who had previously undergone cholecystolithotomy and tube cholecystostomy. The mean operating time was 42 minutes. No drainage was required postoperatively. All patients were symptom-free during a mean follow-up of 2.3 years (range, 7 months to 4 years). Reintervention may be required for patients with residual gallstones whose symptoms recur after gallbladder surgery such as cholecystectomy, subtotal cholecystectomy, and tube cholecystostomy. It is safe and feasible to remove the gallbladder or gallbladder remnants in such patients laparoscopically.

摘要:
Presented are our recent experiences with successful laparoscopically assisted surgery in two children with congenital gastric or duodenal diaphragm. Laparoscopy was used as an adjunct in performing the following surgical procedures: (1) inspection of the entire bowel, (2) identification and evaluation of the involved site, and (3) mobilization and exteriorization of the involved site. A minimal transverse incision was made for exteriorization. Extracorporeal removal of the diaphragm was followed by pyloroplasty or duodenoplasty. Each patient had a rapid and uncomplicated recovery with complete resolution of the symptoms. Laparoscopically assisted surgery may be a valuable modality in pediatric patients with congenital gastric or duodenal diaphragm. It allows better assessment of the entire bowel, minimizing the disfiguring and morbid abdominal incisions, without impeding the effectiveness of the planned operation. Avoidance of full-scale laparotomy may decrease the risk of future adhesions. These advantages seem attractive especially for children with longer life expectancy.

摘要:
Nowadays, laparoscopy appears to be an attractive alternative to conventional surgery in the management of small bowel obstruction. Adult intussusception is an unusual cause of intestinal obstruction, and a wide range of pathologic conditions can result with intussusception. In this report, we present a very rare case of intussusception secondary to inverted Meckel's diverticulum in an adult who underwent laparoscopic surgery. The diagnostic modalities and surgical management of intussusception are discussed.

摘要:
This case involves a 31-year-old man who presented with lower gastrointestinal bleeding from a perianastomotic ulcer 2 years after surgery. This report reviews the literature and suggests that perianastomotic ulcers may be underrecognized as delayed complications of side-to-side small bowel anastomosis. This report also demonstrates the value of push enteroscopy via the rectum in making the diagnosis.
