Laparoscopic real-time vessel navigation using indocyanine green fluorescence during laparoscopy-assisted gastric tube reconstruction: First experience
This study included five oesophageal cancer patients who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic oesophagectomy and LAGR. We confirmed the presence of the left gastroepiploic artery (LGEA) in all cases, and no findings such as post-operative gastric tube ischaemia were observed. In all cases, no vascular injury was observed, and the vascularization of LGEA was confirmed. This report is the first to consider the usefulness of LRTVN using ICG during LAGR. LRTVN using ICG during LAGR was considered to be useful for evaluating gastric tube blood flow and avoiding vascular injury around the splenic hiatus. (Source: Journal of Mi...

& #8220;Misra & #39;s appendicular hitch & #8221; stich & #8211; Innovative technique for simplifying endo-suturing during laparoscopic appendectomy
Krishna Asuri, Mayank JainJournal of Minimal Access Surgery 2021 17(4):573-575Laparoscopic suture transfixation and free tie ligation are the most commonly used cost-effective technique of managing the base of the appendix during laparoscopic appendectomy in low resource settings such as India. This becomes technically cumbersome especially in the presence of the long friable appendix and for novice surgeons. We hereby describe an innovative technique of suspending the appendix using a transfacial suture to ease the placement of suture at the base of the appendix during laparoscopic appendectomy.

Robotic infrahepatic vena cava clamping and Pringle manoeuvre for major hepatectomy: A safe and bloodless procedure & #8211; First technical report
Francesco Marchegiani, Antonio Pesce, Isacco Damoli, Cristiano HuscherJournal of Minimal Access Surgery 2021 17(4):566-569Mini-invasive approaches in hepatic surgery are associated with a significant decrease in the incidence of post-operative morbidity and liver failure. Intraoperative blood loss represents the major intraoperative accident during hepatectomy. Infrahepatic inferior vena cava clamping is an emerging technical trick which guarantees a lower intraoperative blood loss and transfusion rates during liver surgery. Herein, we present the first report of infrahepatic caval clamping during robotic hepatectomy at ou...

Ultrasound-guided thoracal paravertebral block for awake thoracoscopic lobectomy in a high-risk patient: The first reported case
Volkan Ozen, Onur Derdiyok, Serap KaracalarJournal of Minimal Access Surgery 2021 17(4):562-565One-lung ventilation provided by double-lumen tube intubation under general anaesthesia has conventionally been considered necessary for thoracoscopic major pulmonary resections. Recently, regional anaesthesia techniques have been used to avoid complications of tracheal intubation and general anaesthesia. Although paravertebral block (PVB) comes to the fore as a safe and useful regional anaesthesia technique for intra-operative and post-operative analgesia for a wide variety of surgeries involving the thoracic and lumbar regions,...

A case of unusual evisceration through laparoscopic port site
Mathews James, G Senthil, R Kalayarasan, Biju PottakkatJournal of Minimal Access Surgery 2021 17(4):559-561Drain site eviscerations have been reported as a rare complication following abdominal surgery. An 82-year-old women was diagnosed with carcinoma stomach and underwent laparoscopic subtotal gastrectomy. A few hours following removal of the duodenal stump drain, she developed small bowel evisceration through the drain site. It was successfully managed with immediate bedside release of fascial constriction followed by definitive repair later. Although herniations and eviscerations via larger drain sites have been report...

Thoracoscopic excision of double-pulmonary sequestration in left haemithorax, without anomalous blood supply (supply from pulmonary artery) in a neonate: First case
Sunita Ojha, Prabhar Srivastava, Anil Poonia, Rajiv BansalJournal of Minimal Access Surgery 2021 17(4):556-558Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare anomaly. PS is a mass of abnormal pulmonary tissue that does not communicate with the tracheobronchial tree and is supplied by an anomalous systemic artery. Although aberrant systemic arterial supply is considered the key element to diagnose PS, rarely it can have arterial supply from the pulmonary artery as a spectrum of sequestration. Here, we present an unusual case of double (upper and lower) extralobar sequestration, present unilaterally (left haemithorax) in a neonate, w...

Minimally invasive approach for retrieval of retropharyngeal foreign body
K Devaraja, Suresh Pillai, Kailesh PujaryJournal of Minimal Access Surgery 2021 17(4):554-555Ingested fish bone at times can migrate extraluminally into the surrounding soft tissue, leading to complications. Conventionally, these migrated fish bones are retrieved by open procedures, which could add to the morbidity. We successfully retrieved one such foreign body by a minimally invasive transcervical approach in a 64-year-old female patient. The method offered an easy identification of the foreign body with minimal soft-tissue dissection, which ultimately aided in the early post-operative recovery. This is the first report...

Gastric glomus tumour: A case report
We report a rare case of gastric GT in a 28-year-old female presenting with upper abdominal pain, intermittent haematemesis and melena. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography indicated a well-defined, heterogeneously enhancing lesion in the antral region of the stomach and a possibility of gastrointestinal (GI) stromal tumour (GIST). Upper GI endoscopy showed a wide-based lesion in the sub-mucosal plane with ulcerated mucosa. Laparoscopic excision of the tumour with primary closure of the defect was performed, with an uneventful post-operative course. Histopathological and immunohistochemical findings confirmed a gastric GT...

Non-Hodgkin & #39;s lymphoma of the appendix and distal ileum. A rare case report
Aparna Govil Bhasker, Jay D Kotecha, Rahul Pandey, Sachin WaniJournal of Minimal Access Surgery 2021 17(4):548-550Primary gastrointestinal (GI) tract lymphomas constitute 1%–4% of all GI malignancies. Primary lymphomas of appendix are even more rare and are seen in 0.015% of all appendicectomy specimens. Here, we report a rare case of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma tumours in the appendix and distal ileum in a non-immune compromised young male patient who presented with intermittent intussusception and pain in the right iliac fossa. A laparoscopic right hemicolectomy was per...

Thoracoscopic bilateral dorsal sympathectomy for primary palmo-axillary hyperhidrosis short- and mid-term results
Conclusion: A significant percentage of the patients with primary palmo-axillary hyperhidrosis will be very satisfied with the procedure at 1 year after surgery despite 50% of them developing CH. Detailed counselling regarding CH in the pre-operative period would minimise the dissatisfaction rate after surgery. (Source: Journal of Minimal Access Surgery)
