Abstract Purpose Many transanal endoscopic surgeries require a high level of technical expertise and surgeon experience. Considering the economic feasibility of material acquisition and the technical feasibility of training and experience with complex methods, a simpler technique with available resources is relevant for the excision of rectal adenomas. This study presents the surgical and postoperative results achieved with a novel proctoscope using the transanal endoscopic technique to excise rectal adenomas. The results are compared to the results obtained with other currently employed transanal techniques. Methods We retrospectively investigated the medical records of patients who underwent transanal endoscopic operations from April 2000 to June 2018 at two tertiary referral centers for colorectal cancer. Results This study included 99 patients. The mean age was 65.3 ± 13.3 years. The average size of the adenomas was 4.6 ± 2.3 cm, and their average distance to the anal border was 5.6 ± 3.3 cm. The average operative time was 65.3 ± 41.7 min. In 48.5% of the operations, the specimen was fragmented, and in 59.6% of the cases, the microscopic margins were free. The rates of postoperative complications and relapse were 5% and 19%, respectively. The mean follow-up was 80 ± 61.5 months. Conclusions The described proctoscope proved to be a viable technique with results similar to other techniques, with the advantage that it allowed greater accessibility for surgeons. Therefore, its use could be implemented and become widespread in surgical practice.

Background: Reconstructive approaches for distal urethral strictures range from simple meatotomy to utilizing grafts or flaps depending on the etiology, length and location. We describe a contemporary cohort of distal urethral strictures and report a surgical technique termed distal one-stage urethroplasty developed to address the majority of distal urethral strictures encountered. Methods: Thirty-four patients were included. The mean age was 56.7 years (range 15.7–84.9 years), the mean stricture length was 1.1 cm (0.5–1.5) and the mean follow-up was 42.5 months (28–61.3). Results: The vast majority of distal strictures (27/34 (79.4%)) were treated with our hybrid one-stage approach combining a distal urethral reconstruction with excision of the scar tissue without the need to use grafts or flaps. The average stricture length was 0.68 cm and average operative time was 24.43 min. Post-operative spraying was reported in a minority of patients (4/27 (14.8%)). The length of stricture and surgery were significantly longer in those 7/34 (20.6%) patients in whom grafts or flaps were used (2.88 cm and 154.8 min, respectively, p < 0.001 for both when compared to the hybrid one-stage approach). We noted 6/34 (17.6%) recurrences of distal urethral strictures, all of which were treated successfully with graft and flap repairs. Conclusions: The vast majority of distal urethral strictures are amenable to a distal one-stage urethroplasty, avoiding the use of grafts and/or flaps while achieving reasonable outcomes. This limited approach, at least initially, is associated with shorter operative time and time of catheter placement and avoids morbidity associated with graft or flap harvesting. Spraying of urine is seldomly encountered and comparable to other approaches addressing distal urethral strictures.

We evaluated the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic orchiopexy to manage a nonpalpable intra-abdominal testis and studied the outcomes. We report our 3 years experience.Patients and methods Laparoscopic Orchiopexy was performed on 28 children (32 testicular units) for non-palpable intra-abdominal testis between 2010 and 2012. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records. The mean age was 3.4 years (range, 2.5 -11 years). Of the 28 patients, 18 (64.28 %) were on the right, 6 (21.44%) were on the left and 4 (14.28%) of bilateral. The mean follow-up period was 14.8 months (range, 3-36 months). Testicular viability and orchiopexed positioning were evaluated within 1 month and beyond 3 months.Results  Thirty one testes were descended successfully by laparoscopy. The average operative time was 41.5 ± 3.8 min. Primary laparoscopic orchiopexy done in 26 testes.Three of unilateral and 2 of bilateral testicular units underwent one -stage Fowler-Stephens Orchiopexy. One patient needs laparoscopic orchiectomy. At follow-up (mean 14.8 months), one testis atrophied and need orchiectomy. Testicular survival rate was 96.77% (30/31) and all of the testes maintained an adequate size. Twenty six (86.66%) are in an acceptable scrotal position and 4 testes (13.33%) are mid to high in the scrotum without atrophy. There was no recurrent inguinal hernia.Conclusions  Laparoscopic orchiopexy is successful for a nonpalpable intra-abdominal testis with a high testicular survival rate. The low incidence of complications and high success rate underscore the feasibility of this procedure. It is our procedure of choice for the treatment of nonpalpable testis.TAJ 2011; 24(2): 70-75

Introduction. Several laparoscopic treatment techniques were designed for improving the outcome over the last decade. The various techniques differ in their approach to the inguinal internal ring, suturing and knotting techniques, number of ports used in the procedures, and mode of dissection of the hernia sac.Patients and Surgical Technique. 90 children were subjected to surgery and they undergone two-port laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia in children. Technique feasibility in relation to other modalities of repair was the aim of this work. 90 children including 75 males and 15 females underwent surgery. Hernia in 55 cases was right-sided and in 15 left-sided. Two patients had recurrent hernia following open hernia repair. 70 (77.7%) cases were suffering unilateral hernia and 20 (22.2%) patients had bilateral hernia. Out of the 20 cases 5 cases were diagnosed by laparoscope (25%). The patients’ median age was 18 months. The mean operative time for unilateral repairs was 15 to 20 minutes and bilateral was 21 to 30 minutes. There was no conversion. The complications were as follows: one case was recurrent right inguinal hernia and the second was stitch sinus.Discussion. The results confirm the safety and efficacy of two ports laparoscopic hernia repair in congenital inguinal hernia in relation to other modalities of treatment.

Introduction: Hernia surgery has evolved over a period of 2500 years from the Bassini-Shouldice era to conventional Lichenstein’s meshplasty to the laparoscopic era. Since, inception of the laparoscopic approach 25 years ago, there were several advancements in the techniques of inguinal hernia repairs. The two most commonly practiced laparoscopic approaches are the Total Extra Peritoneal (TEP) and Transabdominal Preperitoneal (TAPP) repair. Aim: To compare the outcomes for TEP and TAPP approaches in laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery in terms of operative time consumed, postoperative pain, duration of hospital stay, complications and recurrence rate when performed by a single surgeon. Materials and Methods: A prospective interventional cohort study was carried out among 70 patients with uncomplicated inguinal hernia. Patients were divided equally into two groups of 35 patients and underwent TAPP and TEP repairs depending on group randomisation. All surgeries were performed by the same surgeon. Factors including operative time, postoperative pain, duration of hospital stay, complications and recurrence were documented and compared for both the groups. The statistical analysis was done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 21. Unpaired t-test was used to compare the mean between the two groups. The p-value of <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Results: The mean operative time measured in minutes for TEP repair was 31.03 minutes and TAPP repair was 42.26 showing a difference of 11.23 minutes which was statistically significant (p-0.001). The mean Standard Deviation (SD) pain score at 24 hours for TEP repair was 2.43 (1.195) and TAPP repair was 3.43 (0.917). The mean (SD) pain score at 48 hours for TEP repair was 1.31 (1.051) and TAPP repair was 2.20 (0.901). The mean (SD) pain score at one week for TEP repair was 0.37 (0.690) and TAPP repair was 0.91 (0.781). The mean (SD) duration of hospital stay in TEP repair was 2.60 days (0.553) when compared to 3.49 days (0.658) in TAPP repair. All the results were statistically significant with a p-value of 0.001. Conclusion: TEP repair had superior outcomes in terms of reduction in operative time, less postoperative pain and shorter hospital stay than TAPP repair.

Purpose : distal femoral periprosthetic fracture (DFPPF) is a serious complication following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Recently, treatment of DFPPF with distal femoral arthroplasty (DFA) has gained popularity because of its posited benefits for both patients and the medical system. Short-term follow-up trials investigating DFA have demonstrated acceptable results with regards to function, pain relief and lower postoperative complications than ORIF in elderly patients. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate a consecutive series of DFPPF treated with DFA, with a minimum 2- year follow-up. Methods : We performed a retrospective study asses- sing the outcomes of distal femoral arthroplasty (DFA) for patients diagnosed with DFPPF. Results : Twenty patients were identified. The mean age of patients was 76.3 (SD, 9.41), the average time from the fracture to revision surgery was 6.7 days (SD, 11.35), The average operative time was 93.5 minutes (SD,16.6). The average follow-up time was 50.15 months (SD, 20.87). During this time, two patients (10%) had complications. One patient experienced a knee dislocation and the second patient had recurrent periprosthetic infections. At final follow up, the mean knee society score was 86.25 (SD, 9.44), the mean Forgotten joint score was 62.16(SD, 23.45) and 93.7 percent of patients were ambulatory. Conclusion : DFA following DFPPF is associated with high success rates and provides patients with the opportunity for return of function in a safe and reliable manner.

Introduction: Robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) is an emerging minimally invasive alternative for the treatment of invasive bladder cancer. The V-loc (Covidien, Mansfield, MA) suture is a unidirectional barbed suture that provides even distribution of tension. We determined the rate of urinary leak at the urethro-intestinal anastomosis following orthotopic neobladder construction performed with V-loc suture.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed charts on all patients that underwent RARC with orthotopic neobladder urinary diversion performed with a V-loc suture from February 2010 to February 2012. The urethro-intestinal anastomosis was evaluated for urinary leak by cystogram at 3 to 4 weeks, postoperatively.Results: In total, 11 patients were available for analysis. The mean patient age was 57.2 years (range: 47-71). The average clinical follow-up was 8 months (range: 4-15). On surgical pathology, 8 (73%) patients had pT2 or less disease, 3 (27%) had pT3/T4 disease, and 1 (9%) had N+ disease. The mean intraoperative blood loss was 315 mL (range: 150-600) and the average operative time was 496 minutes (range: 485-519). No patient (0%) demonstrated a urinary leak at the urethro-intestinal anastomosis on postoperative cystogram. Eight patients (73%) were continent by 4 months, postoperatively.Conclusions: Orthotopic neobladder urethro-intestinal anastomosis can be performed effectively and safely with V-loc suture with an acceptably low urinary leak rate.

Introduction: There are numerous minimally invasive surgical techniques for repair of congenital inguinal hernia (CIH) in children. We present a unique needle-assisted laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair using 20-gauge intravenous cannula. This study aims to evaluate the safety and feasibility of this technique. Methods: This prospective descriptive study was conducted in 50 patients; aged 1-13 years; from February 2018 to May 2019; either admitted with the diagnosis of CIH or detected incidentally when operated for some other surgical conditions. CIH was repaired using single supraumbilical port and 2-0 prolene suture passed through 20-gauge intravenous cannula. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 20. Results: A total of 56 hernias were repaired in 50 patients out of which five cases were detected incidentally on patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy. The bilateral CIH was present in six cases. The mean operative time was 18.20 ± 4.57 minutes; 17.36 ± 3.83 minutes for unilateral hernia and 24.33 ± 5.20 minutes for bilateral hernia. There was no difference in operative time when compared between gender (p=0.26). The complications were recurrence in 1(1.78%) case, hematoma around deep ring in 2 (3.57%) cases and puncture site bleeding in 2 (3.57%) cases. There were 35 (70%) male and 15 (30%) female. The contralateral occult hernias were noted in 5 (10%) cases. Conclusions: Single port laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia using a 20-gauge intravenous cannula with non-absorbable suture is a safe, effective and feasible in resource poor settings. The postoperative complications are minimal which is similar to past studies.

Background. Both percutaneous Achilles tendon lengthening by triple hemisection and the traditional open Z-lengthening are effective methods for Achilles tendon contracture. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this new therapeutic method, which is based on the percutaneous sliding technique with three hemi-cuts in the tendon, as compared with the traditional open Z-lengthening. Methods. Retrospective analysis of the Achilles tendon contracture cases in our hospital between January 2010 and September 2016 was conducted. Twenty-five cases received percutaneous Achilles tendon lengthening (group A), and 30 patients who underwent open Z-lengthening during the same period were in the control group (group B). Operative time and hospital stay were statistically analyzed. Incision complication, equinus recurrence rate and Achilles tendon rupture morbidity were recorded. The function was assessed by American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score. All cases in group A received Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of ankle preoperatively and in the follow-ups. Results. The mean follow-up period was 42.04 months in group A and 61.7 months in group B. The entire operative time and the mean hospitalization days were lower in group A than in group B. No incision and infection complication occurred in group A. The infection rate in group B was 3.3%. Equinus recurrence rate was 4% in group A and the equinus recurrence rate in group B was 21.4%. In group A, the mean AOFAS score increased from 64 ± 10.16 points preoperatively to 96.08 ± 3.17 at final follow-up, while the score in group B increased from 63.48 ± 6.2 points to 85.4 ± 10.3. MRI showed continuity of the Achilles tendon and homogeneous signal in group A. Conclusion. Modified surgery can significantly reduce the risk of Achilles tendon rupture, provide better balance in soft tissue strength between ankle dorsiflexion and ankle plantarflexion, helping to avoid recurrence of the deformity.
