Keyhole Surgery For Colorectal Cancer Offers Same Prognosis As Conventional Surgery (p 1187)
Laparoscopy ('keyhole surgery') for colorectal cancer could be the future treatment of choice after results of a study from Hong Kong in this week's issue of THE LANCET show how it is associated with a similar 5-year survival outcome and more favourable recovery time than conventional surgery. Colorectal cancer is one of the commonest forms of... view more... (2004-04-07)
Dramatic increase in annual rate of laparoscopic bariatric surgeries
The number of bariatric surgeries performed in the U.S. increased by 450 percent between 1998 and 2002, a growth the researchers say could be linked with use of the minimally invasive laparoscopic technique. view more (2005-12-20)
Robot-assisted, laparoscopic surgery for vaginal vault prolapse found to be effective
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that laparoscopic surgery assisted by a surgical robot to fix vaginal vault prolapse, a collapse of the vagina that can occur after a hysterectomy, is an effective option to the traditional, open surgical repair when measured at least a year after the surgery. view more (2006-07-24)
Less invasive surgery effective in treatment of reflux disease

Authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide evidence that laparoscopic adhesiolysis cannot be recommended as a treatment for adhesions in patients with chronic abdominal pain. Laparoscopic adhesiolysis--keyhole surgery to treat severe abdominal pain by the removal of adhesions--is controversial and is not based on the outcome of... view more... (2003-04-09)

Treating appendicitis by laparoscopic surgery may not be worth the cost
New research published in the February issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons suggests that a traditional, "open" appendectomy may be preferable to a less-invasive laparoscopic appendectomy for the majority of patients with acute appendicitis, contrary to recent trends. view more (2009-02-03)
How to effectively avoid many common complications and liver damage in bile duct exploration?
Micro-wound operation is becoming the trend in surgery in the 21st century and laparoscopic surgery is regarded as an important component of micro-wound surgery. view more (2008-03-13)
Robotic gastric bypass surgery shows promise
A system that allows surgeons to perform laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery from a remote console, controlling up to three robotic arms and a binocular camera, was successfully tested in 10 patients. view more (2005-08-16)
Pioneering surgical technique in Spain enables extirpation of benign tumours of the pancreas - preserving the organ's function to the maximum
A laparoscopic surgical technique enables extirpation of pancreatic tumours that are benign or of scant, highly localised malignant potential and that preserves the function of the organ to the maximum, at the same time significantly reducing the number of possible complications and the period of hospitalisation. view more (2009-02-04)

Robot improves suture proficiency more rapidly for surgeons inexperienced in laparoscopic techniques
New research published in the April issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons suggests that, among surgeons inexperienced in laparoscopic techniques, closing incisions using robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) requires less time to learn and results in improved outcomes compared with suturing done via traditional,... view more...
