Other articles by Matteo Di Giuseppe on PubMed Infective Complications in Laparoscopic Surgery Surgical Infections. 2006 | Pubmed ID: 16895490 One of the main benefits of minimally invasive surgery compared with open surgery is the significant reduction in the incidence of postoperative infections. Possible explanations include the smaller incision, minimal use of central venous catheters for parenteral nutrition, faster mobilization, reduction in postoperative pain, and better preservation of immune system function with a limited inflammatory response to tissue injury. We compare the incidence of postoperative infections after the most common laparoscopic surgical procedures with that after the corresponding open operation, and review the possible mechanisms behind these results. Single Incision Laparoscopic Right Colectomy Surgical Endoscopy. Dec, 2010 | Pubmed ID: 20464415 This study was designed to describe the surgical technique for single-incision laparoscopic right colectomy and present preliminary short-term results. Laparoscopic surgery has been fully validated as alternative, minimally invasive treatment for different benign and malignant conditions. In the attempt to reduce even more the surgical trauma, natural orifices transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES™) and single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) have been proposed. Although the lack of proper instrumentations makes NOTES™ not fully suitable for advanced procedures, SILS might play a significant role, although, to date, only limited series and few case reports of single-incision right colectomy are present in the literature. Laparoscopic Left Nephrectomy for Living Donor Kidney Transplant Archives of Surgery (Chicago, Ill. : 1960). Jun, 2010 | Pubmed ID: 20566981 To present our personal technique for laparoscopic left nephrectomy for living donor transplant. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENT: The surgical technique is described in detail both in the text and in a commented video. The preoperative workup includes routine blood tests, chest radiography, electrocardiography, and high-definition abdominal computed tomographic angiography with 3-dimensional reconstruction to study the vascularization of the kidney. The patient is placed in right lateral decubitus, and 4 trocars are used. Single Access Cholecystectomy Using Standard Laparoscopic Instruments Updates in Surgery. Mar, 2011 | Pubmed ID: 21267691 The aim of this study was to verify feasibility and safety of single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy using conventional surgical instruments. Twenty patients underwent single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Indications for cholecystectomy were symptomatic cholelithiasis. Operative time, postoperative length of stay, intraoperative and postoperative complications, postoperative pain (by visual analogue scale), and patient cosmetic satisfaction were considered. All 20 procedures were successfully concluded without additional skin incisions. The mean operative time was 69 ± 16 min with a trend toward a reduction in operating time with increasing surgical experience. Intraoperative bile leakages for gallbladder rupture were observed in only three cases. No postoperative complications were recorded. The median pain scale value was 3 and the median value of cosmetic satisfaction was 3. The mean postoperative length of stay was 1.3 ± 0.9 days. Single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy with conventional surgical instruments is a feasible and safe procedure, but additional studies in larger series are needed to confirm our results.
