Anatomical footprint for safe laparoscopic cholecystectomy without using any energy source: a modified technique

Abstract

A safe laparoscopic cholecystectomy without using any energy source can be performed by following the proper anatomical footprint.

Transaxillary endoscopic excision of benign breast lumps: a new technique

“…With our technique, we dissected only along the avascular planes. Easy navigation along the avascular planes was reinforced by our experience of dissection without energy sources [2]. Space was created only for the area subjected to surgery and not for the entire retromammary dissection [11].…”

Laparoscopic biliary tract injury prevention: zero tolerance, error free performance

“…Universal reliance on ED in laparoscopic surgery has blunted the distinction between dissection and hemostasis. This tantamounts to acceptance of collateral damage [6] despite the higher potential for thermal spread and heat absorbance in laparoscopic surgery even with the latest ED devices [7].…”

Why the Resistance: Minimally Invasive Pancreaticoduodenectomy—Saving the Patient from Tigers

“…Given these different embryological origin, there is a distinct navigational plane to be explored as defined above. Exploration of these dissection planes in a safe avascular manner has already been shown to be MIS friendly [24][25][26][27][28]. These advantages are especially helpful in situation with anatomical aberrations [27].…”
