"Accepted article (accepted manuscript online: 21 FEB 2014)" ; Objective To assess the feasibility of a pure endoscopic closure method for vesical perforations using fully absorbable material. Materials and methods A pilot experimental study was performed in 8 anesthetized female pigs. Four 10mm and four 20mm endoscopic full thickness cystotomies were created. An endoscopic suturing machine (RD 180®, LSI solut...
The authorsacknowledge Karl Storz, Richard Wolf and Covidien for their support with equipment. ; What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Until now, the transvaginal approach has been the only method of removing larger specimens from the abdominal cavity using natural orifi ce transluminal endoscopic surgery. There has been no means of extracting larger specimens in men and the means are restr...
Purpose: To test different sets of prebent instruments and a new reusable access device for laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgery. Materials and Methods: Three surgeons with previous experience in LESS performed 12 nephrectomies in six pigs. In all procedures, a multichannel access device (X-CONE_) and a 5-mm extra-long telescope were used. Four sets of prebent instruments with different profiles (S-porta...
Transvesical endoscopic port in abdominal surgery: an updated perspective. ; Natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) generated a huge hope among surgeons because it promised scarless surgery and eventually less pain and surgical stress. However, serious limitations regarding reliable visceral closing methods remain unsolved. This article provides an update in development and future applications...
