the purpose of this study was to compare the effect of intraperitoneal bupivacaine and lidocaine administration on pain reduction after diagnostic laparoscopy. in this randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study, diagnostic laparoscopy was done for one-hundred and ninety-six infertile women with unexplained infertility. patients were randomized to 4 groups (a, b,c, and d). at the end of ...

Gallbladder agenesis is a very rare presentation where surgeons were put in situation to diagnose the same during laparoscopy for cholecystectomy or diagnostic laparoscopy. The preoperative diagnosis of gallbladder remains challenge both and radiologists. Here we present case gall bladder 59-year-old male with contracted gallbladder. Agenesis was confirmed after MRCP.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Virtual reality has been poorly studied among gynecologic surgeons. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether performance on the Minimally Invasive Surgery Trainer-Virtual Reality (MIST-VR) laparoscopic trainer reflects laparoscopic experience among gynecologic surgeons and trainees. METHODS Twenty-six medical students, residents, and attending gynecologic surgeo...

Ureter injuries are uncommon but dreaded complications in gynecologic surgery and a frequent cause of conversion to laparotomy. Recently, a few papers reported the repair of gynecologic ureteral injuries using laparoscopy with encouraging results. In these case reports, we aimed to present two laparoscopically repaired ureter injuries during total laparoscopic hysterectomies (TLH). In the first...

INTRODUCTION Laparoscopy has proved to be an important tool in the minimally invasive exploration of selected patients with chronic abdominal disorders, whose diagnosis remains uncertain, despite exploring the requisite laboratory and imaging investigations like ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT) scan, and the like. MATERIALS AND METHODS Diagnostic Laparoscopy was conducted on 120 pati...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility of integrating robot-assisted technology in the performance of laparoscopic staging of gynecologic malignancies. METHODS Seven patients underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic staging procedures for gynecologic cancers. Data were collected and analyzed as a retrospective case series analysis. RESULTS We attempted 7 robot-assisted laparoscopic staging proc...

BACKGROUND Advanced gynecologic pathology and the surgical limitations of conventional laparoscopy have often been cited as impediments to converting hysterectomy from a procedure predominantly performed by laparotomy to one accomplished by laparoscopy. Recently, the use of robotic technology as a means to facilitate the laparoscopic completion of a hysterectomy was introduced. METHODS Applic...
