Aim. On the basis of the accumulated clinical material to show the possibility of a ligature-free method of laparoscopic appendectomy in children. Materials and methods. From 2000 to 2019, 2044 children with acute appendicitis were treated in the surgical department of the Republican childrens clinical hospital in Syktyvkar. Of these, 651 patients had an open appendectomy with treatment of the stump of the vermiform process by the submersible method, 1363 children had a laparoscopic appendectomy with ligature treatment of the stump of the process, and 32 patients had their first non-ligature laparoscopic appendectomy with the intersection of the vermiform process with the Ligasure device. Results. On average, surgery for ligature-free laparoscopic appendectomy lasted 7 3 minutes less than for laparoscopic appendectomy using the ligature method for treating the stump of the worm-like process. Experimentally, it was found that this method of appendectomy should not be used when the thickness of the worm-like process is more than 1.5 cm, with pronounced inflammatory infiltration of the caecum dome and perforation at the base of the process. With ligature-free appendectomy, the operation time was reduced. In the period from 1 to 6 months, there were no intra-abdominal postoperative complications associated with the new method of surgery. Conclusion. Ligar-free laparoscopic appendectomy in children using modern high-energy platforms with a digital assessment of the degree of tissue coagulation readiness made it possible to avoid intraoperative and postoperative complications, simplify the technique of its implementation, and reduce the time of surgery.

Abstract Background: To investigate the perioperative efficacy and cost of robot-assisted radical cystectomy(RARC) and laparoscopic RC(LRC) in patients with non-advanced bladder urothelial carcinomaMethods: 156 patients with non-advanced bladder urothelial carcinoma undergoing minimally invasive radical cystectomy in our center between January 2015 and April 2020 were included. Perioperative data and hospitalization expenses were extracted from our database. All analyses were performed using SPSS 23.0 software, and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: The proportion of male patients was 86.5%(135/156) and the median age was 65(IQR 59-71) years old. RARC had a lower PSM rate (0 vs 5.3%,P=0.051), longer median operation time(370 vs 305 min,P<0.001) and higher median hospitalization cost(20565.2 vs 15532.4$,P<0.001). There were no significant differences in intraoperative transfusion rate, anesthesia resuscitation in ICU, postoperative hospital stay, 30-d complications and postoperative treatment expenses between the two groups(P=0.815,0.715, 0.817,0.92 and 0.543,respectively.)Conclusion: Short operation time and low hospitalization costs are favorable factors for LRC, but RARC may be the preferred surgical procedure for non-advanced bladder urothelial carcinoma considering the potentially low PSM rate.Trial registration: A complete informed consent was obtained from the patient and their families before the surgery.Informed consent was signed for all patients.This study was approved by the Ethics Review Committee of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University

Abstract Background To discuss the reliability and clinical value of Iconport, a Self-made single port device, which was applied for transumbilical single port laparoscopic appendectomy. Methods The incision was around 2.5 cm long with curved form around umbilicus. And the skin and each layer of the abdominal wall were cut in sequence. Then the silica gel sleeve of the self-made single-incision sealing device was folded, clamped by the forceps, and carefully inserted into the incision for sealing. The operation of laparoscopic appendectomy was accomplished by-use routine linetype laparoscopic instruments via Iconport. The specimen was discharged from peritoneal cavity through the single port device. Two layers of incision, linea alba abdominus and skin, were separately sutured by absorbable thread and each layer was sutured successively. Results Among the 125 patients, 119 were successfully performed single-port laparoscopic appendectomy, with the operation time ranging from 30 to 110 min (69.34±21.4 min on average). In 6 cases, auxiliary operating hole was added or laparotomy was performed. Total hospital stay was 5.0±1.8 (2-14) days. 5 cases of incision infection. All patients were followed up for 1 to 6 months after surgery, with an average of 3 months. There were no complications such as bleeding, intestinal leakage, intestinal obstruction, and residual peritoneal effusion. Conclusion In single-incision laparoscopic surgery, the u-shaped incision around the umbilical margin of 2.5cm for adult can not only meet the requirements of flexibility of instruments in the operation, but also meet the aesthetic requirements because the incision scar is hidden in the umbilical foramen or looks like the umbilical foramen after the operation. Iconport single-hole device, which has potential promotion value, can be used in relatively simple laparoscopic surgery alone or combined with a single puncture device for relatively complex laparoscopic surgery.

Introduction : Embolization of the Middle Meningeal Artery (MMA) is a minimally invasive procedure used as an alternative or adjunctive treatment of chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH). The benefits of MMA embolization have been attributed to targeting of the pathophysiology of cSDH which currently favors a process of increasing inflammatory response causing immature and leaky neovascularization. The major dural arteries and hazards associated with their embolization have been thoroughly described in past literature. The unintended embolization of orbital arteries leading to blindness is the most significant hazard associated with MMA embolization. The purpose of this study is to present 5 cases demonstrating the success of our technique in the treatment of cSDH while preventing the possibility of blindness by coiling the anastomotic vessel between MMA and Ophthalmic Artery (OA) branches prior to particle embolization. Methods : After doing an Internal Carotid Artery (ICA) run and ensuring the origination of the OA from the ICA and observing retinal blush, we routinely infused 10–20mcg of Nitroglycerine into the main trunk of MMA through a microcatheter to dilate and better visualize the MMA branches including anastomosis. If the meningeo‐ophthalmic collaterals were visualized during the follow‐up microcatheter run, we coil embolized the proximal segment of those collaterals through the same microcatheter. We then infused 100–300µm particles through the main branches of the MMA supplying the dura. Results : Of the 39 patients who underwent MMA embolization for cSDH, 5 received MMA/OA collateral variants coil embolization followed by successful particle embolization of all MMA branches supplying the dura without complication. Conclusions : In our cSDH patients, the collaterals from MMA to Ophthalmic or Lacrimal branches were safely coil embolized before complete particle embolization of the MMA dural branches. In a few patients these collaterals became obvious after inducing vasodilatation. None of these patients had major complications. This technique may be safer, more effective and cheaper than wedging, gluing or low pressure infusion. Our literature search did not find a similar technique used in this application.

This report is of a proximal femoral unicameral bone cyst in a patient presented at 3 years. Intra-lesional steroid injection was used to treat this large active lesion. The response to treatment was monitored with the use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan as an indirect method of monitoring the activity of the bone cyst. The patient had developed stress fracture during the course of treatment which had remodelled fully after successful treatment with multiple injections; at 12-year follow-up, the patient reached skeletal maturity. The affected femur had remodelled back to normal radiological appearance without avascular necrosis. This has demonstrated that steroid injection is a safe and effective procedure to achieve regression of a large active bone cyst in the proximal femur. It is a minimal invasive procedure resulting in no scar. DXA scan is a useful method combining clinical assessment to monitor status of the bone cyst to allow timing of injection.

Objective: To describe a new technique for limited stripping (in the thigh) of the greater saphenous vein (GSV) to avoid painful postoperative haematomas. Design: Pilot study. Setting: General Hospital Linz, Second Surgical Department, Linz, Austria. Patients: Sixteen patients undergoing primary varicose vein surgery for varices on the long saphenous vein. CEAP clinical stage: C2 ( n = 12), C3 ( n = 4). Intervention: Removal of the GSV from the thigh by endoscopic dissection with electrocautery division of the main tributaries. Phlebectomy for varices in GSV tributaries. Main outcome measures: Clinical assessment of the extent of haematomas and cosmetic appearance. Results: Fifteen of 16 operations were completed as intended without any technical problem. In one case conversion to conventional stripping was required due to adhesion of the saphenous vein to a previous operation scar in the thigh. The median total operation time for one limb was 57 min. A postoperative haematoma occurred in only one patient. There was no additional postoperative complication. Conclusion: Endostripping is a new technique for stripping of the GSV and reduces postoperative haematoma. It can be performed in a reasonable operation time and is safe. The value of this technique should be assessed in clinical trials.

Abstract As most of the female inguinal hernias are of indirect type, we conducted this retrospective study to evaluate whether the single port laparoscopic percutaneous internal ring suture is feasible for the management of indirect inguinal hernia in female adults. From April 2016 to August 2019, there were 31 female adults who were diagnosed with inguinal hernias and received laparoscopic inspection at our surgical department. One patient who was finally diagnosed as an encysted hydrocele was excluded from the statistic study. All the 30 cases were of indirect type with a total of 35 single port laparoscopic percutaneous internal ring sutures performed. The median age was 38 years (range 20–88 years). The number and percentage of patients with right, left and bilateral hernias were 17 (56%), 11 (37%) and 2 (7%) respectively. Three contralateral patent processi vaginalium and 1 occult femoral hernia were found during operation. The percentages of the respective classifications according to the European Hernia Society system for the 35 PIRSs were L1: 40%, L2: 49%, and L3: 11%. The average operation time was 18 min for unilateral and 30 min for bilateral hernias. There were 1 recurrence and 1 chronic postoperative inguinal pain. Both had their symptoms and signs resolved after reoperation. The mean follow-up period was 13.6 months. We concluded that the single-port laparoscopic percutaneous internal ring suture is feasible for the management of indirect inguinal hernia in female adults.

Background: The efficiency and safety of primary open-angle glaucoma with high-frequency deep sclerotomy (HFDS) combined with cataract surgery has to be investigated. Methods: Right after cataract surgery, HFDS was performed ab interno in 205 consecutive patients with open angle glaucoma. HFDS was performed with a custom-made high-frequency disSection 19 G probe (abee tip 0.3 × 1 mm, Oertli Switzerland). The bipolar current with a frequency of 500 kHz is applied. The nasal sclera was penetrated repetitively six times through the trabecular meshwork and consecutively through Schlemm’s canal. Every time, a pocket of 0.3 mm high and 0.6 mm width was created. Results: Mean preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) was 24.5 ± 2.1 mmHg (range 21 to 48 mmHg). After 48 months, the follow up average IOP was 15.0 ± 1.7 mmHg (range 10 to 20 mmHg). Postoperative IOP has been significantly reduced compared to preoperative IOP for all studied cases (p < 0.001). After 48 months, the target IOP less than 21 mmHg reached in 84.9%. No serious complications were observed during the surgical procedure itself and in the postoperative period. Conclusions: HFDS is a minimally invasive procedure. It is a safe and efficacious surgical technique for lowering IOP combined with cataract surgery.

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) a minimal invasive procedure is regarded as gold standard for gallstone disease for many years. With increase learning curve of surgeons, the incidence of complications of this procedure decreases significantly. The purpose of study was to compare the experiences of Laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed.Methods: It was a retrospective cohort study conducted in Surgical Department, Rawalpindi Medical College and author's surgical clinic. From 1st January 1998 to 31st December 2014. Total 3000 patients of Laparoscopic cholecystectomy were divided into 2 groups. First 1500 cases (operated between January 1998 to December 2007) in Group A and next 1500 cases (operated between January 2008 to December 2014) in Group B. Preoperative diagnosis, intraoperative findings and injuries especially incidence of CBD injuries with post-operative complications and their management were evaluated.Results: Out of 3000 cases 2585 (86.1%) were females and 415 (13.8%) were males. Total 18 (0.6%) cases had CBD injury during LC. 17 cases were in group A which decreased significantly to 1 case in Group B. Mean operative time was 30 minutes. Wound infection remained the most common postoperative complication.Conclusions: In our setup, the burden of laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallstones have increased with very low incidence of complications.
