Pfannenstiel laparoendoscopic reduced ‐port bilateral radical nephrectomy for a patient with renal cell carcinoma undergoing hemodialysis
Abstract We performed Pfannenstiel laparoendoscopic reduced‐port bilateral radical nephrectomy on a patient with renal cell carcinoma undergoing hemodialysis. A 4‐cm Pfannenstiel incision was made, and a GelPOINT access was inserted. Three trocars were placed through the access platform, and additional 5‐ and 3‐mm trocars were inserted in the umbilicus and paraumbilical area, respectively. After left nephrectomy, right nephrectomy was successfully completed in 401 min, with an estimated blood loss of 70 mL. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications, and the patient was discharged 10 days pos...

Metachronous solitary mediastinal lymph node metastases of hepatocellular carcinoma treated by video ‐assisted thoracic surgery twice: Report of a case
We report a case of metachronically solitary mediastinal metastases of HCC treated by video‐assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) twice. A 66‐year‐old man underwent repeated laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation or trans‐arterial catheter chemo‐embolization against HCC for more than 10 years. The level of alpha fetoprotein protein was elevated, and radiological modalities including FDG‐PET revealed solitary mediastinal tumor metachronically. VATS was performed bilaterally twice. The postoperative course was uneventful and there had no recurrence of extra‐hepatic metastases and tumor markers are within normal limit...

Life ‐threatening hemorrhage from the corona mortis after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair: Report of a case
Abstract Along with the increased use of other laparoscopic procedures, laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair has become widely used because of its minimally invasive nature. Here, we report a case of 66‐year‐old man who underwent transabdominal preperitoneal laparoscopic hernioplasty and developed hemorrhagic shock on postoperative day 1. CT showed postoperative venous hemorrhage from the retropubic space. Successful hemostasis of the massive hemorrhage was achieved laparoscopically. The origin of the hemorrhage was assumed to be the corona mortis vein, which was slightly injured during the operation. Despite the rarity...

Latif ’s point: A new point for Veress needle insertion for pneumoperitoneum in difficult laparoscopy
ConclusionThis new access point may represent a safe, fast, and easy way to create pneumoperitoneum, as well as a promising alternative to Palmer’s point in patients who are not candidates for classic midline entry. (Source: Asian Journal of Endoscopic Surgery)

Single ‐incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallbladder torsion: A case report and literature review
We present a case of preoperatively diagnosed gallbladder torsion (GT) that was successfully treated by single‐incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy. An 80‐year‐old woman presented with sudden pain and a palpable mass in the right upper quadrant. Contrast‐enhanced CT revealed ischemic changes, a swollen gallbladder with a V‐shaped distortion of the extrahepatic ducts, and the gallbladder in an abnormal anatomical position; clinical findings indicated GT. We performed single‐incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy and intraoperatively found that the floating gallbladder was twisted counterclockwise by 180° around...

Endoscopic surgery in Japan: The 12th national survey(2012 –2013) by the Japan Society for Endoscopic Surgery
Abstract In Japan, the first endoscopic surgery, a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, was performed in 1990. Since then, operative procedures have been standardized, and the safety and usefulness of endoscopic surgery have been evaluated. With the acceptance of endoscopic surgery as less invasive than open surgery, the number of the endoscopic procedures continues to increase in all surgical domains. The Japan Society for Endoscopic Surgery (JSES) has had an important role in the development of endoscopic surgery in Japan. For example, JSES established a technical skills certification system for physicians to train instructors ...

Prospective randomized controlled trial comparing partially absorbable lightweight mesh and multifilament polyester anatomical mesh in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair
ConclusionIt took less time to manipulate the flat mesh (ULTRAPRO) than the anatomical mesh (Parietex) in laparoscopic total extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair, but the time difference was small. Lightweight mesh and heavyweight mesh offered similar clinical outcomes in terms of discomfort sensation and foreign body sensation during long‐term follow‐up.

Conversion during laparoscopic anterior resection for rectal cancer with a congenital solitary pelvic kidney: A case report
Abstract A 54‐year‐old female patient was hospitalized with a chief complaint of anal discomfort. Based on biopsy results, she was diagnosed with highly differentiated adenocarcinoma, and colonoscopy findings indicated a type 3 rectal tumor. We observed a right pelvic kidney on enhanced abdominal CT. We began a laparoscopic operation but converted to an open operation after resecting the right pelvic renal artery by mistake. After low anterior resection, urologists performed angioplasty of the right renal pelvic artery. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 16, after the preservation of right renal function h...

Current status of robotic surgery in urology
Abstract As a result of ergonomics, optimal magnification of the operative field, surgeon dexterity, and precision of surgical manipulation, robotic technology has been shown to overcome many difficulties associated with pure laparoscopy. With the recent expansion of robot‐assisted surgery in the field of urology and following the success of robot‐assisted prostatectomy and robot‐assisted partial nephrectomy, robot‐assisted surgery is being applied to treat many other genitourinary diseases, such as bladder cancer and ureteropelvic junction obstruction. The aim of the present review is to discuss the role of roboti...
