Hydatid disease is endemic in parts of India, yet genitourinary involvement is rare. Laparoscopic management of such cases is uncommonly reported. We present a case of an adrenal hydatid and its management by laparoscopic aspiration, instillation of scolicidal solution, and partial excision of the cyst.

Ž. (2014) Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy with diode laser: a promising technique. Photomedicine and Laser Surgery, 32 (2). pp. 5 Abstract Objective: Aim of this study was to evaluate application of diode laser in laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) and to question this technique in terms of ease of tumor excision and reduction of warm ischaemia time (WIT).

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic resection of colorectal cancers is a safe alternative to open surgery. The conversion rate to open surgery remains fairly constant but is associated with increased morbidity. A new approach to the surgical excision of rectal cancer is transanal total mesorectal excision (TME), in which the rectum is mobilized peranally using endoscopic instruments. This feasibility study...

Adrenalectomy is the standard of care for hormonally active adrenal masses. In recent years, minimally invasive laparoscopic excision has become a preferred management option. As with advances in parenchymal-sparing renal surgery, investigators have begun to examine adrenal-sparing procedures to preserve functional adrenal tissue. This article reviews the recent literature and reports on interm...

BACKGROUND This study aims to introduce the diagnosis and surgical treatment of the rare disease multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN 2A). METHODS Thirteen cases of MEN 2A were diagnosed as medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and pheochromocytoma by biochemical tests and imaging examination. They were treated by bilateral adrenal tumor excision or laparoscopic surgery. RESULTS Nine patie...


 Transanal total mesorectal excision may result in lower rates of conversion to open procedure and a better circumferential resection margin compared with laparoscopic adults rectal cancer.
 be comparable for cancer recurrence, survival, death, short-term safety outcomes Total more cost-effective than cancer, but this is uncertain.

In 1723, Vater first described choledochal cyst and in 1977, Todani et al classified this disease. For many years, open excision (OP) as the standard procedure made a great impact in the treatment of choledochal cyst. Since 1995, when Farello et al first reported laparoscopic choledochal cyst excision, laparoscopic excision (LA) has been used worldwide. However, its safety remains a major conce...

Background The treatment of extraperitoneal cancer of the rectum (ERC) has been greatly improved by the advent of the technique of total mesorectal excision(TME) [1] and the combination of chemo-and radiotherapy in neoadjuvant treatment. Since the introduction of laparoscopic surgery in the early nineties, the improvements of both the surgical techniques of laparoscopic instruments have allowed...

Objectives: The umbilicus is often used as a port insertion site during laparoscopic surgery because the wound invisible after surgery. However, its concave shape makes postoperative treatment difficult, resulting in umbilical keloids due to infection. Current study reports four cases of excision with satisfactory results following full-thickness skin grafts and radiation therapy.
