BACKGROUND A minimal invasive approach for elective hip surgery has been implemented in our institution in the past. It is widely hypothesized that implanting artificial hips in a minimal invasive fashion decreases surgical trauma and is helpful in the rehabilitation process in elective hip surgery. Thereby geriatric patients requiring emergency hip surgery also could theoretically benefit from...

Background Surgical methods to treat craniosynostosis have evolved from a simple strip craniectomy to a diverse spectrum of partial or complete cranial vault remodeling with excellent results but often with high comorbidity. Therefore, minimal invasive craniosynostosis surgery has been explored in the last few decades. The main goal of minimal invasive craniosynostosis surgery is to reduce the ...

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has gained in popularity in the treatment of scoliosis in the last years. It is a minimally invasive surgery that prevents blood loss and results in minimal damage to the thoracic wall, better cosmetic appearance and shorter hospitalization time compared to conventional thoracotomy. Technical difficulty, a steep learning curve, longer operation times ...

There is currently significant demand for minimally invasive thyroid surgery; however the majority of proposed surgical approaches necessitate a compromise between minimal tissue dissection with a visible cervical scar or extensive tissue dissection with a remote, hidden scar. The development of transoral endoscopic thyroid surgery however provides an approach which is truly minimally invasive,...

Rationale: Surgical treatment for patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is still controversial. Some minimally invasive treatments include stereotactic aspiration and neuroendoscope assisted surgery have been applied to hematoma evacuation. However, study on minimally invasive surgery for patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is insufficient. Aims: To determine if mini...

A retrocaval ureter is an unusual congenital anomaly that results in outer ureteral compression by the inferior vena cava. Open pyelopyelostomy or ureteroureterostomy procedures are done with good results. In the present era of minimal invasive access surgery, a laparoscopic technique is being used with the same good results with all advantages, like minimal analgesic, short hospital stay and w...
