ABSTRACT Background: The anorectal anomalies consist in a complex group of birth defects. Laparoscopic-assisted anorectoplasty improved visualization of the rectal fistula and the ability to place the pull-through segment within the elevator muscle complex with minimal dissection. There is no consensus on how the fistula should be managed. Aim: To evaluate the laparoscopic-assisted anorectoplasty and the treatment of the rectal urinary fistula by a bipolar sealing device. Method: It was performed according to the original description by Georgeson1. Was used 10 mm infraumbilical access portal for 30º optics. The pneumoperitoneum was established with pressure 8-10 cm H2O. Two additional trocars of 5 mm were placed on the right and left of the umbilicus. The dissection started on peritoneal reflection using Ligasure(r). With the reduction in the diameter of the distal rectum was identified the fistula to the urinary tract. The location of the new anus was defined by the location of the external anal sphincter muscle complex, using electro muscle stimulator externally. Finally, it was made an anastomosis between the rectum and the new location of the anus. A Foley urethral probe was left for seven days. Results: Seven males were operated, six with rectoprostatic and one with rectovesical fistula. The follow-up period ranged from one to four years. The last two patients operated underwent bipolar sealing of the fistula between the rectum and urethra without sutures or surgical ligation. No evidence of urethral leaks was identified. Conclusion: There are benefits of the laparoscopic-assisted anorectoplasty for the treatment of anorectal anomaly. The use of a bipolar energy source that seals the rectal urinary fistula has provided a significant decrease in the operating time and made the procedure be more elegant.

Tóm tắt Đặt vấn đề: Ứng dụng phẫu thuật nội soi ổ bụng kết hợp với đường qua hậu môn cắt đoạn đại trực tràng vô hạch ở trẻ 2 - 6 tháng tuổi tại khoa Nhi bệnh viện Việt Đức Phương pháp nghiên cứu: Nghiên cứu hồi cứu cho trẻ 2 - 6 tháng tuổi được chẩn đoán phình đại tràng bẩm sinh dựa vào lâm sàng, chụp đại tràng có thuốc cản quang và sinh thiết tức thì trong mổ. Phẫu thuật 1 thì, nội soi ổ bụng sử dụng 3 trocars phẫu tích đoạn đại tràng cần cắt bỏ, kết hợp đường qua hậu môn sử dụng van Lonestar bóc đoạn trực tràng trên đường lược khỏi thanh cơ phương pháp Soave, kéo đoạn đại tràng vô hạch ra ngoài qua hậu môn, cắt và nối đại tràng lành với ống hậu môn. Đánh giá kết quả theo tiêu chuẩn Wingspread 1984 Kết quả: Trong thời gian từ tháng 6/2014 đến tháng 6/2017 có 32 người bệnh được phẫu thuật nội soi, tuổi trung bình 3,5 tháng. Thời gian phẫu thuật trung bình 150 ± 40 phút. Thời gian nằm viện trung bình 7,4 ± 2,2 ngày. Đại tràng vô hạch vị trí xích ma 1/3 dưới 19 người bệnh (59,37%), xích ma 1/3 giữa 11 người bệnh (34,38%), xích ma 1/3 trên 2 người bệnh (6,25%). Không có trường hợp nào chuyển mổ mở. chảy máu nặng hay bục rò miệng nối sau mổ. Theo dõi sau mổ từ 3 tháng - 4 năm: Viêm quanh hậu môn 6 người bệnh (18,75%); viêm ruột 8 người bệnh (25%); són phân 5 người bệnh (15,62%); táo bón 1 người bệnh (3,12%). Đánh giá chức năng đại tiện rất tốt 68,75%, tốt 21,88%, trung bình 9,37%. Chưa có trường hợp mổ lại, Kết luận: Phẫu thuật nội soi ổ bụng kết hợp đường qua hậu môn cắt đoạn đại trực tràng vô hạch một thì ở trẻ nhỏ là phương pháp phẫu thuật an toàn, mang lại chức năng đại tiện tốt, đảm bảo thẩm mỹ. Abstract Introduction: Laparoscopic assisted endorectal colon pull-through for Hirschsprung's disease have been applied for children under 6 month old in Viet Duc hospital Material and Methods: Restrospective. Children from 2 to 6 month with diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease by clinical, radiological symptoms and biopsy during operation. Laparoscopic assisted endorectal colon pull- through by using Lonestar valve for resection of colon and coloanal anastomosis. Functional defecation is assessed according to the standard of Wingspread 1984. Results: 32 patients during from 6/2014 to 6/2017. Mean age: 3,5 months old, average operating time: 150 ± 40 minutes, average hospital stay time: 7,4 ± 2,2 days. The aganglionics lower sigmoid segment in 19 patiens (59,37%), 1/3 middle sigmoid segment in 11 patiens (34,38%), sigmoid segment in 2 patiens (6,25%). Non bleeding during the operation, no conversion to open surgery, no anastomotic fistula. Follow – up postoperative from 3 months to 4 years peri-anal: infection 6 patients (18,75%), enterocolitis 8 patients (25%), fecal incontinence 5 patients (15,62%), constipation 1 patient (4,45%). Functional defecation assessement: very good 68,75; good 21,88; average 9,37%. No re- operation. Conclusion: Single stage laparoscopic assisted endorectal colon pull- through for Hirschsprung's disease in children under 6 month old is safe with good functional defecation assessement.

Mature cystic teratomas (MCTs) of the ovary represent 44% of ovarian neoplasmas. The surgical approach is important in young women especially for the cosmetic results. Nowadays most of the ovarian surgeries can be performed laparoscopically. An alternative between laparoscopy and laparotomy is the minilaparotomy (ML) which can be an interesting option, thanks to the small incision. We report a 39-year-old woman who was referred to our hospital with acute abdominal pain. In her past history the patient had an uncomplicated delivery. During pregnancy a 6 cm bilateral MCT was diagnosed and expectant management was followed. A left-sided ovarial torsion was postulated, and laparoscopic detorsion was performed. To avoid a rupture of the left MCT, the operation was interrupted. To remove the cyst, a ML was done two weeks later. A left-sided salpingo-oophorectomy was performed due to a large cyst including the entire ovary. On the other side, the right dermoid cyst was entirely removed. The advantage of a ML is not only shorter operating time with less learning curve compared to laparoscopy but also the possibility to extract the adnexal mass from the abdominal cavity with lower risk of rupture and in addition the possibility to preserve more ovarian tissue.

Between 1993 and 1994, 368 women underwent hysterectomies for benign disorders at the University of Kiel. Of these, 58.7% were performed either by pelviscopic or by laparotomy Classic Intrafascial Supracervical Hysterectomy (CISH). Of the remaining, 14.8% were performed by abdominal hysterectomy, 13.6% by Intrafascial Vaginal Hysterectomy (IVH), 12.2% by Vaginal Hysterectomy (VH), and only 0.05% by Laparoscopic Assisted Vaginal Hysterectomy (LAVH). Comparative data of these six surgical techniques concerning patients characteristics, indications for operation, histological features, blood loss, operating time, hospital stay, uterine weights and postoperatively used analgesics are described.

Abstract Andrew Jameton in 1984 coined the concept of moral distress as: “knowing what to do in an ethical situation, but not being allowed to do it” This original description presupposes that the right moral act can be identified and precludes situations of doubt and uncertainty. The 1984 definition emphasizes barriers that make it impossible for someone to do what they ought to do. Whereas Jameton in a revision in 2013 of his original concept emphasized reduction of the psychological dimensions, Peter& Liaschenko stress the element of moral agency. Moral distress then is a threat to the moral integrity of the professional. This requires three-step ananlysis: first, what is the moral question?; two, what are morally adeguate answers to this question?; three, what ethically appropriate actions are under pressure in the given situation? This will be illustrated with examples from the COVID-19 pandemic.
