The Use of Tacker and Arthroscopy Cannules in SILS Cholecystectomy

Abstract

Most of the challenges posed by SILS cholecystectomy can be easily solved with simple technical modifications.

Single Incision Laparoscopic Total Gastrectomy and D2 Lymph Node Dissection for Gastric Cancer Using a Four-Access Single Port: The First Experience

“…Furthermore, single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) and natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) have been developed to reduce the invasiveness of laparoscopic surgery. SILS has been frequently applied in various clinical settings, such as cholecystectomy, colectomy, and sleeve gastrectomy [3–6]. So far, there have been four reports on single incision laparoscopic distal gastrectomy and one report on single incision laparoscopic total gastrectomy with D1 lymph node dissection for gastric cancer [7–11].…”

Bilateral isolated Epididymal Agenesis in a 32 year old man

“…Bladder damage, hemorrhage, urinary infection, fever, sepsis, de novo urgency, subcutaneous emphysema were reported in a 800-case series where laparoscopic Burch procedure was performed (13). Tackers are used widely used in general surgery for mesh fixation at laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs and single-incision laparoscopic surgeries are performed with the assistance of an arthroscopic cannula and tacker (14, 15). Iatrogenic bladder stone formation associated with non-absorbable sutures passing through the bladder after the Burch colposuspension applied again in the treatment of urinary incontinence was reported previously and dispareunia lasting 2 years as well as irritative symptoms were observed in these patients (16).…”
