The aim of this study was to investigate the safety, feasibility and mid-term results of laparoscopy-assisted surgery in the treatment of locally advanced gastric antral cancer. The clinical data of 50 patients who received laparoscopy-assisted surgery (Group A) and 62 patients who were treated by conventional laparotomy (Group B) from August 2009 to January 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. ...

NOTES can also be performed as a hybrid procedure in conjunction with conventional transabdominal ports. Closely related to NOTES is the development of procedures performed through a solitary small transabdominal incision. These procedures have been referred to as single-port access surgery, single-port laparoscopy surgery, single-incision laparoscopy surgery (SILS), or laparoendoscopic single-...

INTRODUCTION The technique most commonly used for penile lengthening is the release of the suspensory ligament in combination with an inverted V-Y skin plasty. This technique has drawbacks such as the possibility of reattachment of the penis to the pubis, a hump that forms at the base of the penis, in addition to alteration in the angle of erection. AIM In this work, we describe a new techniq...

Aim: The aim is to shift the 5 mm port from the right upper abdomen to the umbilicus in threeport laparoscopic cholecystectomy to obtain better cosmetic results. Methods: The three ports in conventional three-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy were placed in a 10 mm epigastric incision, a 5 mm umbilical incision and a 5 mm right upper abdominal incision. Our modified method involved movement of ...
