    Single port laparoscopic surgery is becoming an alternative to conventional laparoscopic surgery as a new approach where all the conventional ports are gathered in just one multichannel port through only one incision. Appling this technical development, we have developed a new technique based on an intragastric approach using a single port device assisted by endoscopy (I-EASI: intragastric endoscopic assisted single incision surgery) in order to remove benign gastric lesions and GIST tumors placed in the posterior wall of the stomach or close to the esophagogastric junction or the gastroduodenal junction. We present a patient with a submucosal gastric tumor placed near the esophagogastric junction removed with this new approach

    Objetivo: Exponer las complicaciones de las gastrostomías quirúrgicas utilizadas como vía de soporte nutricional enteral domiciliario (SNED) y detectar si existen diferencias entre las dos técnicas usadas en nuestro medio: Cirugía abierta vs laparoscópica. Material y métodos: Estudio observacional descriptivo de carácter retrospectivo de las gastrostomías quirúrgicas realizadas entre los años 1994 y 2009 seguidas por nuestra unidad. Se han analizado las complicaciones detectadas en consulta durante el seguimiento de pacientes con SNED a través de gastrostomía quirúrgica realizada con técnica laparotómica abierta vs laparoscópica, valorando: fuga del contenido gástrico al exterior, irritación de la pared abdominal, presencia de exudado, presencia de exudado con cultivo positivo que requirió tratamiento antibiótico, quemadura o pérdida de sustancia de la zona periostomía, rotura de balón, úlcera de decúbito por la sonda y formación de granuloma. Resultados: Durante los años 1994-2009 se realizaron 57 gastrostomías quirúrgicas: 47 por técnica laparótomica (abierta) convencional y 10 por vía laparoscópica. La edad media de los pacientes fue de 57,51 ± 17,29 años. La causa más frecuente que motivó la realización de la gastrostomía quirúrgica fue el cáncer de esófago (38,6%) seguido de alteraciones neurológicas (26,3%) y tumores de cabeza y cuello (26,3%). El 97,9% de los pacientes a los que se realizó una gastrostomía quirúrgica abierta presentaron al menos una complicación, es decir que solo el 2,1% estuvieron libres de complicaciones; mientras que el 50% de los que se sometieron a una gastrostomía laparoscópica no tuvo ninguna. Las complicaciones más frecuentes fueron la presencia de fuga del contenido gástrico y la irritación de la pared abdominal que se presentaron en el 89,4% y 83% respectivamente de las gastrostomías laparotómicas frente a la aparición de solo el 30% de ambas complicaciones en las gastrostomías laparoscópicas siendo la diferencia estadísticamente significativa (p Aim: Exposing the complications of surgical gastrostomies used as way of home enteral nutritional support (HEN) and detecting the differences between the two techniques used in our environment: Open Surgery vs Laparoscopic Surgery. Material and methods: Retrospective descriptive observational study of the surgical gastrostomies performed between 1994 and 2009 followed up by our unit. Have been analyzed the complications detected in our practice during the follow-up of patients with HEN performed via open laparotomy vs. laparoscopic tecniques, assessing: leaks of gastric fluid to the exterior, abdominal wall irritation, presence of exudate, presence of exudate with positive culture that required antibiotical treatment, burning or loss of substance of the periostomic zone, breach of balloon, decubitus ulcer caused by the tube and formation of granuloma. Results: Between 1994 and 2009, 57 surgical gastrostomies were performed: 47 using the conventional laparotomic (open) tecnique and 10 laparoscopies. The average age of the patients was 57.51 ± 17.29 years old. The most common cause for the performance of surgical gastrostomy was esophageal cancer (38.6%) followed by neurologic alterations (26.3%) and head and neck tumors (26.3%). 97.9% of the patients who underwent to surgical gastrostomy presented at least one complication, meaning that only 2.1% were free of complications; meanwhile, 50% of the patients were laparoscopic gastrostomy was performed had none of these complications. The most common complications were the presence of leaks of gastric fluid and abdominal wall irritation that appeared on 89.4% and 83% respectively of the laparotomic gastrostomies versus the presence of only 30% of both complications in laparoscopic gastrostomies being the difference statistically significant (p < 0.01). Conclusions: After the introduction of the laparoscopic technique in the performance of surgical gastrostomies has been observed a decrease of the complications occured during the home enteral nutritional support related to surgical gastrostomies

    Laparoscopic surgery changed the management of numerous surgical conditions. It was associated with many advantages over open surgery, such as decreased postoperative pain, faster recovery, shorter hospital stay and excellent cosmesis. Since two decades single-incision endoscopic surgery (SIES) was introduced to the surgical community. SIES could possibly result in even better postoperative outcomes than multi-port laparoscopic surgery, especially concerning cosmetic outcomes and pain. However, the single-incision surgical procedure is associated with quite some challenges.This article is freely available via Open Access, click on the Publisher's URL to access the full-text.Publishe
