BACKGROUND Cervical pregnancy is rare and dangerous form of ectopic pregnancy which can be treated surgically or conservatively. Methotrexate is reasonable conservative option with high efficiency and acceptable level of side effects. Aim of this paper is to present possible treatment option in case of methotrexate failure, still keeping the postulates of minimal invasive surgery. CASE We des...

The surgical treatment of spinal metastases is still controversial. Due to developments in diagnostic imaging there has been a great evolution in minimally invasive surgical techniques for the spinal surgery. Most of the patients with spinal metastases are debilitated and under high risk of major surgical morbidity and mortality. Less perioperative pain, less blood loss, less hospitalization ti...

[Purpose] Lumbar fusion has been used for spinal disorders when conservative treatment fails. The minimally invasive approach causes minimal damage to the back muscles and shortens the postoperative recovery time. However, evidence regarding functional recovery in patients after minimally invasive lumbar spinal fusion is limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate how trunk control ab...

Spinal surgery under Eastern-African circumstances is technically demanding and associated with significant complications, such as blood loss, infection, and wound breakdown. We report a spinal trauma case that was performed using minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and navigation, and hypothesize that these newer techniques may enable surgeons to perform effective spinal surgery with minimal comp...

Standard radiation therapy for cervical cancer consists of external beam radiation therapy followed by an intracavitary brachytherapy boost. When brachytherapy cannot be performed due to unfavorable anatomy or coexisting medical conditions, stereotactic body radiotherapy with the CyberKnife is another treatment option which is less invasive and can be performed in a shorter treatment time. We p...

Abstract Aim We present the experience in transversus abdominis release (TAR) technique using a minimally invasive approach our center. Methods expose those W3 defects intervened by laparoscopic TAR(n=6). Step 1: Releasing adhesions from previous surgeries. 2: Bilateral Rives space dissection, as well Rossen's space, this one “down to up” technique. 3: Closure of gap with barbed suture. In all ...

Cystogastrostomy for pseudopancreatic cyst can be performed laparoscopically getting all the benefits of minimal invasive surgery. This is however an advance laparoscopic surgery requiring experience and upmost skills for safe outcome. Nowadays it is gaining popularity as it is now standardized and surgeons are gaining more and more experience. Aim: To evaluate the benefits of laparoscopic proc...
