Technical note: Minimally invasive ‘second look’ in the era of laparoscopic surgery

Cosmetic facial surgery procedures and therapies have continued to evolve with an emphasis on minimally invasive techniques with a shorter recovery time. We present a how-to guide for nonsurgical rhinoplasty including the use of different hyaluronic acid fillers. We provide examples of before and after patient photos as well as photos demonstrating our technique. This technical note highlights the popular concept of minimally invasive nasal contouring using dermal fillers. As such, we provide a brief overview of different dermal fillers that can be used for this application, potential problems and complications, as well as remedies. Dermal fillers have become an entry point into cosmetic surgery for many patients. Our technique of nasal contouring with hyaluronic acid fillers in particular yields safe, effective, and repeatable results.

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical effect of minimally invasive surgery for inguinal cryptorchidism. Methods The patients were divided into the minimally invasive surgery group (n = 100) and the traditional surgery group (n = 58). In the minimally invasive surgery group, patients with low inguinal cryptorchidism (n = 54) underwent surgery with a transscrotal incision, and patients with high inguinal cryptorchidism (n = 46) underwent laparoscopic surgery. Results There was no difference in the hospital stay duration or cost between the minimally invasive surgery group and the traditional surgery group (P > 0.05). As for the operative time, minimally invasive surgery of low inguinal cryptorchidism was shorter than traditional surgery (P = 0.033), while minimally invasive surgery of high inguinal cryptorchidism was comparable to traditional surgery (P = 0.658). Additionally, there were no cases of testicular atrophy, testicular retraction, inguinal hernia or hydrocele in either group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of poor wound healing between the two groups (P > 0.05). Although there was no significant difference in the incidence of scrotal hematoma between the two groups (P > 0.05), the incidence in the minimally invasive surgery group was higher than that in the traditional surgery group. Conclusions Minimally invasive surgery including a transscrotal incision for low inguinal cryptorchidism and laparoscopic surgery for high inguinal cryptorchidism is as safe and effective as traditional surgery, and could also provide a good cosmetic effect for children.

— Analysing material and world-wide urologic laparoscopie surgery experience, the Authors try to define, also according to their experience, the indications for which the laparoscopic technique is established and well accepted and, on the contrary, those which are still controversial. Critical evaluation about laparoscopic surgery indications are often supported by the costs of the “minimally invasive” technique compared to the traditional surgical approach.

Safety Considerations

Laparoscopy or minimally invasive surgery requires surgeons to attain proficiency in skills that are fundamentally different to those required for open surgery. As a result, it both challenges junior trainees and surgeons who are experienced in open surgery. Not surprisingly, the initial learning phase of laparoscopy has been associated with an increased incidence of serious complications. Owing to time constraints and the ethical and safety considerations of allowing novices to perform laparoscopic surgery on patients, alternative methods have been sought to train junior surgeons on the basics of laparoscopic surgery.
