Hybrid transvaginal cholecystectomy is a good surgical model for minimally invasive surgery, a combination of NOTES and minilaparoscopy. It can be performed in surgical settings where laparoscopy is practised regularly, using the instruments normally used for endoscopy and laparoscopic surgery. Owing to the reproducibility of the intervention and the ease of vaginal closure, hybrid transvaginal cholecystectomy will permit further development of NOTES in the future.
The improved immunogenicity profile and clinically acceptable reactogenicity of HB-AS04 vaccine are of key importance to provide a more rapid, enhanced, and longer seroprotection to these immunocompromised patients at risk for HB infection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
