Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has traditionally been performed using multiple small sites. Single-incision laparoscopic surgery has emerged as an alternative technique to improve cosmesis and minimize complications associated with multiple incisions. A retrospective study was performed of all patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy by a single surgeon (DTA) from April 2008 to August ...

Pain in early life can enhance the response to subsequent injury, but effects are influenced by both the nature and timing of neonatal injury. Using plantar hindpaw incision, we investigated how postnatal age influences the response to repeat surgical injury two weeks later. The degree and time course of behavioural changes in mechanical withdrawal threshold were measured, and injury-related hy...

BACKGROUND Descending influences from the rostral medial medulla (RMM) contribute to secondary hyperalgesia in persistent inflammatory, neuropathic, and visceral pain models. The current study examined if descending inhibition or facilitation from the RMM modulates primary and secondary hyperalgesia after incision in the rat hind limb. METHODS Bilateral RMM lesions were produced using the som...
