Objective: Blood biochemistry, ascites tests, and imaging examinations have low sensitivities in abdominal neoplasm diagnoses. In addition, exploratory laparotomy is not suitable for final stage patients. Mini-laparoscopy has recently emerged as a new diagnostic technology for abdominal disease. The aim of this research was to evaluate the value of mini-laparoscopy in diagnosing abdominal neoplasms.Methods: Clinical and operational data were retrospectively analyzed in 20 cases with pathologically confirmed abdominal malignancies. Of these, 10 cases were each diagnosed by mini-laparoscopy and exploratory laparotomy. The surgical and anesthesia expenses, perioperative nursing, monitoring and treating charges, postoperative hospital stay and complications were compared between groups.Results: The surgical and anesthesia costs were statistically lower in patients who received a mini-laparoscopy (P<0.01). Perioperative drug expenses and nursing and monitoring charges were also significantly decreased (P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively). Further, the gastrointestinal function recovery time and postoperative hospital stay were significantly reduced in the mini-laparoscopy group. There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the preoperative hospital stay and postoperative complications.Conclusion: Mini-laparoscopy effectively reduces surgical injury and treatment costs, and is capable of safely diagnosing abdominal tumors. Moreover, the procedure is also easy to perform.

“…However, the anesthetic technique should be tailored to the type of surgery. General anesthesia (balanced anesthesia technique with several intravenous and inhalational agents and the use of muscle relaxants), peripheral nerve blocks, and neuraxial anesthesia as an alternative to general anesthesia for outpatient pelvic laparoscopy, local anesthesia infiltration in microlaparoscopy for limited and precise gynecological procedures, and intravenous sedation can be used with a safe profile for patients and have been described in the literature (LE 5) [364], (LE 4) [365], (LE 2b) [366,367], (LE 1b) [368], (LE 1a) [369], (LE 4) [370], (LE 1b) [371,372], (LE 2b) [373,374], (LE 1b) [375]. Laparoscopy is most commonly performed with the patient under general anesthesia, especially for prolonged and upper abdominal procedures.…”

Background In January 2010, the SICE (Italian Society of Endoscopic Surgery), under the auspices of the EAES, decided to revisit the clinical recommendations for the role of laparoscopy in abdominal emergencies in adults, with the primary intent being to update the 2006 EAES indications and supplement the existing guidelines on specific diseases. Methods Other Italian surgical societies were invited into the Consensus to form a panel of 12 expert surgeons. In order to get a multidisciplinary panel, other stakeholders involved in abdominal emergencies were invited along with a patient's association.

“…Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) procedure is a more preferable technique than open cholecystectomy in the treatment of symptomatic cholelithiasis; [1] it reduces postoperative pain, with faster recovery and more rapid return to normal activities and lesser hospital stay [2].…”

The Effects of Dexmedetomidine or Remifentanil Continuous Infusion on End- Tidal Sevoflurane Concentration in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecestectomies, Monitored by Bispectral Analysis

Background and Objective: Owing to the hemodynamic response to pneumoperitoneum, laparoscopic is not devoid of risk; adjuvants have been used to decrease the dose of volatile agents and their side effects and to blunt the hemodynamic response. This study was designed to compare the effect of dexmedetomidine and remifentanil on sevoflurane expired fraction concentration (EF sevo) in general anesthesia, monitored by BIS. Hemodynamic response, postoperative recovery profile, analgesic requirements and PONV were also recorded.
