Minimising in minimally invasive surgery through the use of a novel and flexible super elastic titanium needle suitable for a 3.5- and 5-mm trocar
We present findings, using a novel flexible needle made from a super elastic titanium alloy, which demonstrate that it is possible for a 26- and 30-mm needle to pass through a 3.5- and 5-mm trocar. This new approach results in less trauma and improved cosmetic effect in comparison to the classical 10-mm port. Traditional steps such as handling of the needle holders, loading the needle and placing it at the correct angle and direction, inserting the needle into the tissue and finally safely tying a knot remain the same as with the standard procedure. We propose that this improved type of needle creates a refinement opportun...

An innovative procedure: Laparoscopic sterilisation of liver hydatid cyst cavities with Foley catheter method
Gürcan Simsek, İsmail Hasırcı, Mehmet Eşref Ulutaş, Adil Kartal, Kemal ArslanJournal of Minimal Access Surgery 2022 18(1):154-156Sterilisation of the liver hydatid cyst cavities is a significant step in the surgical treatment of these cysts. We previously performed a study addressing the Foley catheter method in sterilisation of the cyst cavities with open surgery. Recently, we have been laparoscopically using Foley catheters for sterilisation of the cyst cavities. We tried laparoscopically in five cases with six cysts. A Foley catheter can be used in ...

Migration of biliary stent into the gallbladder: A surprising intraoperative finding
Vipul D Yagnik, Apurva Patel, Gururaj M Mannari, Pankaj Garg, Sushil DawkaJournal of Minimal Access Surgery 2022 18(1):151-153Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography stenting is a well-established treatment for benign as well as malignant biliary obstruction. The most frequently encountered complication is stent clogging. Stent migration (proximal or distal), on the other hand, is not very common. Proximal migration of a choledochal endoprosthesis into the gallbladder has not yet been reported in the literature. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

The & #39;nick & #39; or & #39;clip & #39; ? A giant hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm complicating laparoscopic cholecystectomy
We report a single case of a 27-year-old female who presented to us and deteriorated rapidly due to a ruptured right HAPA, with an acute abdomen and melena, who was surgically managed by exploration and excision of the pseudoaneurysmal sac due to unavailability of transarterial embolization. During surgery, the cystic artery metal clip was seen eroding in hepatic artery producing pseudoanerysm. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Laparoscopic excision of a schwannoma arising in the psoas muscle
We report a 49-year-old male who presented to the orthopaedic oncosurgery team with persistent lower back pain radiating to the right lower limb following a fall on the back a few months ago. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a well-defined lesion in the right psoas muscle at the level of third lumbar vertebra (L3). He underwent a laparoscopic excision of this mass using one 10 mm and two 5 mm ports. Intraoperative frozen section after a complete excision showed this to be a benign schwannoma. He was discharged the day after surgery. His symptoms gradually reduced over a period of time and he remains well 3 years after s...

The clinical conundrum of a catecholamine secreting giant adrenal myelolipoma
We describe a case of a functional adrenal myelolipoma associated with catecholamine secretion in a 55-year-old female patient with a history of hypertension. The surgical excision of the mass resulted in normalisation of the urinary catecholamine levels and resolution of the hypertension. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Proliferative fasciitis arising from the abdominal wall: A rare tumour excised by laparoscopy
We report the presence of this rare entity in a 68-year-old gentleman who presented to us with low-grade fever and the presence of large lump arising from the abdominal wall. In our patient, the lesion was arising from transervsalis fascia and was excised in toto laparoscopically without damaging the abdominal muscles. It is imperative to differentiate both these lesions from sarcoma on histopathological examination as the follow-up treatment protocols for both vary. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

New learning area in laparoscopic gastrectomy for gastric cancer: YouTube & #174; or WebSurg & #174; ?
Conclusions: Today, video platforms have started to play a major role in surgical training. Of these platforms examined, WebSurg® is superior to YouTube® in terms of education and quality, but these platforms still have some deficiencies and need regulation.

A novel laparoscopic near-infrared fluorescence spectrum system with indocyanine green fluorescence overcomes limitations of near-infrared fluorescence image-guided surgery
Conclusions: The novel LFS system with NIR fluorescence imaging in this ex vivo and cadaveric porcine model was confirmed useful at deeper depths and lower concentrations. Based on these findings, we anticipate that the LFS system can be integrated and routinely used in minimally invasive surgery. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Short- and long-term outcomes after minimally invasive versus open spleen-saving distal pancreatectomies
Conclusion: Adoption of MI-spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (SPDP) is safe and feasible. MI-SPDP is associated with a shorter hospital stay, lower blood loss but longer operation time compared to O-SPDP. In the present study, MI-SSVDP was associated with poorer long-term splenic vein patency rates compared to O-SSVDP. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Factors predicting perioperative outcomes in patients with myasthenia gravis or thymic neoplasms undergoing thymectomy by video-assisted thoracoscopic approach
Conclusion: Pre-operative disease severity and post-operative invasive ventilation are strong determinants of perioperative outcomes. Pre-operative optimisation and early extubation protocols can further reduce morbidity in patients undergoing thymectomy by the VATS approach. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)

Optimising working space for laparoscopic pyeloplasty in infants: Preliminary observations with the SGPGI Protocol
Conclusions: Optimal working space is critical to the performance of advanced laparoscopic surgery like pyeloplasty in infants. SGPGI protocol significantly improves working space, which permits a faster and safer surgery with a lower intra-abdominal working pressure. This protocol is simple, safe and easy to replicate at most centres in our country. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)
