Techniques, equipment, and exposure for endoscopic retroperitoneal surgery

The videoendoscopic revolution has now reached the field of retroperitoneal surgery. However, safe retroperitoneoscopy demands perfect and detailed knowledge of the local anatomy. It also involves new dissecting techniques with new tools and specific strategies. © 1996 by WB. Saunders Company.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Endoscopic retroperitoneal surgery

A minimally invasive approach to the retroperitoneum is described. Basic anatomy, techniques of access and pitfalls related to the technique are discussed. Available procedures are outlined. Extended retroperitoneoscopy is an expanding field and constitutes a safe alternative to the more debilitating open approach in selected indications.SCOPUS: sh.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Sleeve gastrectomy stenosis: Surgical treatment

A stricture is an organic narrowing of a tubular organ. Its physiologic consequence is a stenosis, a narrowing that influences an organ's function. In case of sleeve gastrectomy, the stomach-initially a distensible balloon shaped organ-is essentially reshaped to a long gastric tube that may be prone to developing a stricture or stenosis. This development is quite rare, but it constitutes a highly symptomatic condition. Frequent symptoms are: gastro-esophageal reflux, dysphagia and vomiting. Treatment modes aim at addressing the stricture directly by techniques including endoscopic pneumatic dilation, stent placement, or, in case of failure, laparoscopic techniques such as seromyotomy, segmental resection, or stricturoplasty. Another approach aims at diverting the flux of nutrients proximal to the stricture which can be obtained by conversion to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or, as published more recently, one anastomosis gastric bypass.SCOPUS: ch.binfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Can we safely state that laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a better weight loss procedure than adjustable band gastroplasty?
