Background: The advent of Single incision laparoscopic appendicectomy (SILA) has encouraged surgeons to compare its benefits over conventional laparoscopic appendicectomy (CLA). We conducted a prospective study comparing SILA with CLA, evaluating parameters like operative time and complications, post-operative pain, duration of stay and the cosmetic outcome.Methods: A prospective, comparative study of 94 consecutive patients was conducted at our institution between December 2014 and May 2016. The data regarding the various parameters were documented in both groups of patients.Results: Among the 94 patients, 30 underwent SILA and 64 underwent CLA. We found statistically significant outcomes for SILA over CLA in variables such as operative time (p=0.0018), duration of hospital stay (p≤0.0001) and cosmetic outcome (p≤0.0001). Almost all patients in the SILA category showed no evidence of a scar after a three month follow up.Conclusions: SILA was found to have a better outcome than CLA with regard to operative time, hospital stay and cosmesis. We conclude that this technique of SILA can be a better alternative to CLA.

Objectives. A prospective study was carried out to compare vaginal hysterectomy (VH) and robotically assisted hysterectomy (RH) for benign gynecological disease.Materials and Methods. All patients who underwent hysterectomy from March 2010 to March 2012 for a benign disease were included. Patients’ demographics per and post surgery results were collected from medical files. A questionnaire was also conducted 2 months after surgery.Results. Sixty patients were included in the RH group and thirty four in the VH one. Operative time was significantly longer in the RH group ( versus  min; ). Blood loss and length of hospital stay were significantly reduced: versus  ml; , and versus days; , respectively. Less pain was reported at D1 and D2 by RH patients, and levels of analgesia were lower compared to those observed in the VH group. No differences were found regarding the rate of conversion to laparotomy, intra- or postoperative complications.Conclusion. Robotically assisted hysterectomy appears to reduce blood loss, postoperative pain, and length of hospital stay, but it is associated with longer operative time and higher cost. Specific indications for RH remain to be defined.

Background. Over time, there was an emerging need to shift from laparotomy to minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, with the success of laparoscopic surgery in the last decade in gyne-oncology. Patients and Methods. This is a prospective randomized controlled trial conducted in Surgical Oncology Unit, Oncology Centre, Mansoura University, in the period between February 2016 and October 2019. Fifty female patients planned for total hysterectomy were randomized into two equal groups; the first underwent conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy (CLH), while the second underwent single-incision laparoscopic hysterectomy (SILH). Results. The mean operative time in the SILH group was 120.00 ± 28.72 minutes vs 103.20 ± 23.04 minutes in the CLH group ( P= .027). Median hospital stay in the SILH group was 1 day (range: 1–3 days), the same as that in the CLH group, with no statistical significance ( P= .384). Postoperative pain assessment using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) after 6 hours had a median score of 6 (2–8) in the SILH group and 6 (4–7) in the CLH group with significant increase in experienced pain in the SILH group ( P= .004), while no significant difference was noted after 12 hours and 24 hours in both SILH and CLH groups. Conclusion. Single-incision laparoscopic hysterectomy (SILH) has similar outcomes when compared to conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy as regard blood loss, hospital stay, conversion to laparotomy, intraoperative and postoperative complications with the disadvantages of longer operative time, increased surgeon’s workload, and relatively more postoperative pain.

Purpose: Additional studies comparing single-incision laparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty (SILH) and conventional laparoscopic inguinal hernioplasty (CLH) have been published, and this study updates the meta-analysis of this subject. Methods: Two reviewers independently searched the PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library electronic databases to locate original articles that compared SILH and CLH for inguinal hernia that were published until October 2015. Operative time, conversions, complications, length of hospital stay, recurrence, postoperative pain at 24 hours, and postoperative pain at 7 days were compared using Stata software, version 12.0. Results: Sixteen studies were selected for this analysis, which included a total of 1672 patients (907 in SILH and 765 in CLH). SILH showed a longer operative time; however, conversions, complications, length of hospital stay, recurrence, postoperative pain at 24 hours, and postoperative pain at 7 days were similar between the 2 groups. Conclusions: Our meta-analysis has shown that inguinal hernia repair using SILH is as safe as CLH. However, based on our evidence, we currently believe that SILH is not an efficacious surgical alternative to CLH for inguinal hernias due to the fact that it does not provide significant benefit in postoperative pain and cosmetic outcomes. However, large-scale, well-designed, and multicenter studies will be needed to further confirm the results of this study.

Single incision laparoscopic surgery is an emerging branch of minimally assess surgery to reduce scar and post-operative pain. Appendicitis is a common general surgical problem encountered in day to day practice. Different methods of appendectomy have been described by different surgeons from open to laparoscopic and now single incision laparoscopic surgery has been practised. This is a prospective study carried out in our Department of General Surgery SCB Medical College, Cuttack from February 2019 to March 2020; 60 patients had undergone the procedure and the results are published noted under headings of post-operative pain at (6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours), post-operative requirement of analgesia (diclofenac) at (6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours), operative time, days to resume bowel activity, days of hospital stay, post-operative complication in accordance to Clavien-Dindo classification.

ABSTRACT LAPAROSCOPIC TRANS - ABDOMINAL PRE - PERITONEAL (TAPP) REPAIR FOR TREATMENT INGUINAL HERNIA DISEASE Background: Inguinal hernia is one of the commonest surgical diseases and there are many different techniques applied. The laparoscopic trans - abdominal pre - peritoneal (TAPP) repair allows a better view of the inguinal anatomy, evaluation of opposite side and resolve combined peritoneal diseases as well. Methods: A prospective study was carried in 125 cases with inguinal hernia that have been treated by laparoscopic trans - abdominal pre-peritoneal (TAPP) repair. Results: The mean age was 56.25 ± 19.06 years old. 96.7% were male. 76,8% of hernia were symptomatic, and 23.3% were complicated. 92% of hernia were unilateral, 8% were bilateral, 2.4% were occult. 92.8% would perfom an unilateral TAPP repair, 7.2% bilateral TAPP repair, 2.4% simultaneous TAPP and cholecystectomy. The mean operative time was 48.62 ± 13.05 minutes for unilateral TAPP, 66.11 ± 12.19 minutes for bilateral TAPP. The mean VAS 24h post - op was 3.53 ± 0.56. Regarding postoperative complications, inguinal seroma was detected in 11,2% of cases. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 4.41 ± 1.25 days. Conclusion: TAPP is a safe and feasible procedure, allows evaluation of opposite side and resolve combined peritoneal diseases. Keywords: Inguinal hernia, laparoscopic, trans - abdominal pre - peritoneal (tapp)
