Laparoscopic surgery is frequently applied in the operative management of appendicitis and symptomatic cholelithiasis because it is a minimally invasive procedure. There are, however, some complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) that result in the need for reoperation. In the current study, we examine the effects of repeat laparoscopic surgery on the treatment of complications arising from LC/LA. From April 2005 to March 2011, we examined a cohort of patients who had received LC or LA and experienced complications that required reoperations. We focused on patients with postoperative hemorrhages, postoperative peritonitis, early postoperative small bowel obstructions (EPSBO), and biliary complications (after LC) who were treated through a repeat laparoscopic approach. The general demographics of the patients, their postoperative complications, procedures for selecting the appropriate reoperation method, and repeat laparoscopic findings are described in detail. During the 6-year period examined, 1608 patients received LC and 1486 patients received LA at the hospitals participating in this study. In patients with complications requiring reoperation, the repeat laparoscopic approach was performed successfully (without the need for further laparotomy) in 50 per cent of the patients with postoperative hemorrhage (2 of 4), 50 per cent of the patients with postoperative peritonitis (2 of 4), 75 per cent of the EPSBO patients (3 of 5), and 50 per cent the of patients with biliary complications (1 of 2). The repeat laparoscopic approach is an appropriate method for the management of complications arising from laparoscopic surgery. In patients with postoperative hemorrhage, laparoscopic hemostasis and hematoma evacuations can be performed while maintaining stable hemodynamics. In addition, laparoscopic approaches are also feasible for selective post-LC ductal injuries, EPSBO, and unconfirmed diagnoses of peritonitis after laparoscopic surgery.

Purpose. To introduce a minimally invasive procedure, endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), to obtain a pathologic evidence of a definite ocular sarcoidosis in a patient who initially presented with presumed ocular sarcoidosis with pulmonary involvement.Methods. An EBUS-TBNA procedure was performed at perihilar lymph nodes, subcarina, and right paratrachea of the patient and specimen obtained was sent for histocytopathological studies.Result. Histocytopathological findings revealed aggregates of epithelioid histiocytes forming a noncaseous granuloma, a hallmark of sarcoidosis.Conclusion. EBUS-TBNA should be considered an alternative procedure to provide cytohistopathology proven diagnosis of definite ocular sarcoidosis.

Renal angiomyolipomas (AML) are benign lesions usually left alone. However, lesions larger than 4 cm carry the risk of spontaneous haemorrhage and need treatment. Angiography and embolisation are the current standard of care particularly in patients with high operative risks. Angio-embolisation is a safe, minimally invasive procedure preserving maximum renal parenchyma, with the added advantage of preventing peri-procedural morbidity. Two cases of AML are presented in this case series. Key words: Angiomyolipoma, embolisation, renal

The aim of this study was to report the outcome of the use of an external fixator to treat a pelvic canal stenosis in a 5-month-old female cat. The cat was referred with a history of 3 weeks of intermittent signs of constipation refractory to the medical management, occurring after surgical treatment for a bilateral sacroiliac luxation and sacral fracture. The clinical examination revealed instability of the pelvis and a radiograph showed a pelvic canal stenosis and megacolon. External fixator was the method of choice to be used in this case. The manually applied tension on an external fixator resulted in a widening of the pelvic canal. At 45 days after surgery, there were no signs of constipation, and the radiological examination showed progressive bone healing. At 18 months post-op, the cat had no abnormalities both on the clinical examination and on the radiography. In conclusion, the use of an external fixator led to the widening of the pelvic canal using a minimally invasive procedure. To the authors’ knowledge, this case report represents the first surgical description and clinical outcome of the widening of the pelvic canal in cats using an external skeletal fixator.

Abstract Introduction: To evaluate the retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery in children having the urinary anomalies Material and Methods: Retrospective study for children suffering from urinary anomalies underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery. Results: 110 children were operated by retroperitoneal laparoscopic approach included: 49 patients (44.54%) with ureter pelvic junction obstruction, 23 patients (20.91%) with ureteral duplication, 21 patients (19.1%) with multicystic dysplastic kidney, 17 patients (15.45%) with atrophy kidney. Mean age was 4.5± 3.72 years old (from 1 year to 15 years old); Gender ratio: male/female = 3.3/1. Laparoscopic nephrectomy for 52 cases (47.27%), 58 cases including 11 cases (10%) retroperitoneal laparoscopic pyeloplasty and 47 cases (42.27%) with assisted laparoscopic plastic surgery. Mean operative time was 100 ± 20 minutes, mean hospitalization length stay was 3 ± 2.3 days. No major complications occurred. Followed from 3 to 36 month are favorable with good outcome in 88%, average in 10%, poor in 2%. Conclusion: Retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery is safe and feasible procedure in children with urinary anomalies.
