OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review on single scrotal incision orchiopexy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A search was performed using Pubmed, through which 16 articles were selected out of a total of 133. The following conditions were considered exclusion criteria: other surgical methods such as an inguinal procedure or a laparoscopic approach, retractile testes, or patients with previous testic...

OBJECTIVE To report a technique for surgical treatment of septic jugular thrombophlebitis unresponsive to medical treatment. STUDY DESIGN Case series. ANIMALS Horses (n=9) with septic jugular thrombophlebitis unresponsive to medical treatment. METHODS Jugular vein thrombectomy was performed under standing sedation and local anesthesia. The contents of the affected portion of vein were rem...

BACKGROUND Surgical site infection is one of the most common complications of conventional laparoscopic surgery. Preventing infection of the incision is particularly important. OBJECTIVE To discuss how to prevent the occurrence of surgical site infection after contaminated abdominal surgery. METHODS Five hundred and fifty-one surgery patients with ``contaminated abdominal incisions'' from J...

Techniques and instrumentation for minimally invasive surgical procedures originated in gynecologic surgery, but the benefits of surgery with small incisions or no incisions at all have prompted the expansion of these techniques into numerous specialties. Technologies such as robotic assistance, single-incision laparoscopic surgery, natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery, and video-ass...

Incision and closure of the abdominal wall is among most frequently performed surgical procedures. Anteriorabdominal first structure which a surgeon encounters in any surgery. Both open surgeryand laparoscopic surgery, correct knowledge layered anterior must to enterthe with maximum efficacy safety. Hence all structures one encounterson entering layer by essential for surgeon. Here we discuss d...

Among various surgical treatments, lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA), which bypasses congested lymph into venous circulation, is the least invasive surgical treatment. However, it usually entails skin incisions of around 3 cm, and operation time of around 4 hours. With multiple supermicrosurgeons under guidance of indocyanine green lymphography, LVAs can be simultaneously performed under loca...

1 Correction The first publication of the work [1] did not present one of the authors' name. Maria-Luisa Camara has now been correctly added to the author list, and the Competing interests and Authors' contributions sections have been updated to reflect this. Competing interests Maria-Luisa Camara does not have any competing interests to be declared. Authors' contributions AC: wrote the manuscr...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate a new method to plan the incisions of thoracic surgical operation with robot using three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction techniques. METHODS Three-dimensional reconstruction techniques were used to reconstruct the chest CT of patients with the software OSIRIX (APPLE®). Tumor location, size and relationship with the vein and artery were unambiguously obtained. The locatio...

Laparoscopic surgery is a widespread and rapidly growing surgical technique. One of the challenges facing surgeons performing laparoscopic procedures is the retraction of anatomical structures that restrict vision and access to the surgical site. Current solutions to this problem involve opening additional incisions, which causes increased risk and discomfort to the patient. This study proposes...

Specimen extraction is one of the most challenging steps during minimally invasive procedures. Theoretically, any surgical specimens have to be considered potentially malignant and therefore they have to be removed without contamination of the operative field [1]. However, solid and large masses (e.g., uterine myomas) cannot be removed easily, from the small abdominal incisions used for minimal...
