Case report of perineal hernia after laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection
We present a case report of perineal hernia after laparoscopic APR and discuss its management. The patient was a 77‐year‐old man who was diagnosed with lower rectal cancer. He underwent laparoscopic APR and bilateral lateral lymph node dissection. Two months after the surgery, pain and bulging in the perineal region developed, and PH was diagnosed by CT. Repair with a polypropylene mesh was performed using a combination of laparoscopic abdominal and transperineal approaches. Reportedly, the incidence of secondary PH after APR has increased along with the rate of laparoscopic surgery. Treatment of secondary PH with tr...

Esophagogastric junction cancer successfully treated by laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy and lower esophagectomy with intrathoracic double ‐flap technique: A case report
Abstract A 66‐year‐old man was referred to our hospital for treatment of esophagogastric junction cancer. He was diagnosed as cT2N0M0, and the esophageal invasion was found to be 1 cm from the esophagogastric junction. He underwent laparoscopy‐assisted proximal gastrectomy and lower esophagectomy with esophagogastrostomy using the intrathoracic double‐flap technique through the transhiatal approach. The operative time was 662 min (suturing time was 198 min), and blood loss was 200 mL. The operative time was much longer for this procedure than for esophagogastrostomy with the conventional (intra‐abdominal)...

Comparison of the impact of laparoscopic endometriotic cystectomy and vaporization on postoperative serum anti ‐Mullerian hormone levels
ConclusionThe rate of AMH decline after laparoscopic endometriotic vaporization is significantly lower than that after cystectomy. Both methods, however, have the potential to lower ovarian reserve, especially in cases of severe endometriosis or in patients older than 38 years of age.

Transperitoneal rectus sheath block and transversus abdominis plane block for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair: A novel approach
We report the use of a transperitoneal laparoscopic approach for rectus sheath block and transversus abdominis plane block as a novel anesthetic procedure. Material and Surgical TechniqueAn 81‐year‐old woman with direct inguinal hernia underwent laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal inguinal repair. Epidural anesthesia was not performed because anticoagulant therapy was administered. A Peti‐needle™ was delivered through the port, and levobupivacaine was injected though the peritoneum. Surgery was performed successfully, and the anesthetic technique did not affect completion of the operative procedure. The patie...

Primary inguinal hernia: The open repair today pros and cons
Abstract Open anterior repair for inguinal hernia offers several distinct advantages over endoscopic repair, especially when real‐world effectiveness is taken into account. The learning curve for endoscopic techniques is long, whereas the Lichtenstein and other open tension‐free techniques are easier to teach and replicate at all levels. The outcomes of Lichtenstein repairs for primary inguinal hernia as performed by non‐experts and supervised residents are comparable to those of experts. Moreover, open tension‐free repair does not require expensive instruments or dedicated equipment, other than the prosthetic mesh...
