Abstract Renal cyst is a common disease in humans and laparoscopic renal cyst decortication is the gold standard for treatment. However, specialized surgical skills are required for the treatment of renal parapelvic cysts. In this study, we describe an improved laparoscopic method for the treatment of renal parapelvic cysts involving the use of continuous infusion of methylene blue. Sixteen patients with renal parapelvic cyst were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent retrograde ureteral catheterization, with continuous perfusion of the renal pelvis using a solution of 0.2% methylene blue and saline, during laparoscopic decortication of the parapelvic cyst. In one patient, the cyst communicated with the renal collection system which was injured, but this was immediately repaired intraoperatively. All operations were successful, and none was converted to open surgery. There were no occurrences of persistent urinary fistula, bleeding, or other complications postoperatively. All patients were followed-up for 3–24 months, and results of postoperative imaging investigations revealed that all of our patients experienced either complete recovery or a greater than 50% decrease in size of the cysts. Our study demonstrates that methylene blue-assisted laparoscopic treatment is a safe, effective and practical method for the treatment of renal parapelvic cysts.

The experience reported in literature on laparoscopic ureterolysis is reviewed. Patients currently treated by this procedure are limited due to the low number of cases which are eligible and the difficult technique the procedure entails. In the pilot centres where laparoscopy is routine, laparoscopic ureterolysis has given excellent results. Advantages over open surgery include low invasiveness and a rapid return to normal activity.

Background Despite numerous experimental studies presenting laparoscopic treatment of inguinal hernia in a pig model so far no described technique has been used in clinical patients of this species. Minimal invasiveness and the simplicity of closure of the inguinal canal using the Percutaneous Internal Ring Suturing (PIRS) technique makes it the world’s first technique for laparoscopic treatment of inguinal hernia in pigs as clinical patients. Aim This study aims to assess the applicability and effectiveness of the laparoscopic PIRS technique in the treatment of inguinal hernia in pigs as clinical patients and to compare the PIRS technique with the open surgery technique, which is currently being used. Methods The study was conducted on 22 non-castrated male pigs with inguinal hernia (clinical patients), divided into two equal groups: PIRS and open surgery (OS). In the PIRS group, the inner inguinal ring was closed with an optical trocar inserted at the umbilicus level and an injection needle with a suture material inserted percutaneously over the inguinal canal. The suture material was threaded through the inner inguinal ring and then tied, leaving the knot under the skin. As a result to this the inguinal canal was closed. In the OS group the procedure was performed with open access above the inguinal canal where, after dissection of the vaginal processus and reducing the contents of the hernia to the abdominal cavity, it was ligated as close to the inguinal canal as possible, and the wound was then closed in layers. Results All operated pigs returned to full fitness immediately after recovery from anesthesia. There was one case of hernia recurrence in the PIRS group. In the OS group all the operated pigs had a temporary swelling of the postoperative wound and the scrotum on the side of the operated inguinal hernia, which was not found in the PIRS group. Conclusions The effectiveness of the PIRS technique is comparable to that of open surgery. Considering the simplicity of the PIRS procedure and its minimal invasiveness, this technique may be used as an alternative to the open technique in the treatment of inguinal hernias in pigs not subjected to surgical castration.

Objective: Aim of the study was to evaluate the cumulative success of colectomy and ileorectal anastomosis in 20 patients with ulcerative colitis. Patients and Methods: Data were collected from patient histories and cumulative success was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: Seven of 20 (35 %) ileorectal anastomoses were lost. Cumulative success rate was 84 % at 5 years, 69 % at 10 years and 56 % at 20 years. Most common indication for proctectomy was disabling proctitis. Other reasons for failure were postoperative ileal necrosis and persisting presacral infection. Patients with advanced colonic cancer managed relatively well with ileorectal anastomosis until death. No cases of rectal cancer were detected during postoperative follow-up but one moderate dysplasia was treated locally. Conclusion: Ileorectal anastomosis can be chosen for patients who are not suitable for ileoanal operation. Rectal endoscopies are mandatory postoperatively.
