The first laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) using keyhole approach was done by Professor Mouret of Lyon, France in 1987, when he was completing a gynecologic laparoscopy on a woman also suffering from symptomatic gall stones, he removed it laparoscopically instead of opening up. Dr. Eddie Reddick reported 100 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 1989. The classical four port technique of LC as described by Reddick became the most widely adopted technique.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is established as the primary procedure for the vast majority of patients with benign gall bladder disease, both in elective and emergency conditions.The ability to accurately identify an individual patient’s risk for conversion based on preoperative factors

This makes operation difficult sometimes and leads to conversion to open cholecystectomy. The definition of “difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC)” is inconsistent. The term difficult cholecystectomy refers to multiple technical intra-operative difficulties that increases the risk of complications and significantly prolongs operation …show more content…
They can be enumerated as difficult entry to the right hypochondrium owing to the adhesions, difficulty in exposure can also arise due to diseased gallbladder and Liver ,acutely inflamed and tense gallbladder ,gallbladder packed with stones ,thick walled gallbladder ,fibrotic gallbladder ,gallbladder mass and abnormality can also arise due to anomalous anatomy of hepatobiliary system like situs inversus, malposition of the gallbladder, arterial anomalies and short cystic duct, a huge stone impacted in the cystic duct, Hartmann’s pouch adherent to the common hepatic duct and anomalous insertion of the cystic duct. Since the conversion rate from laparoscopic cholecystectomy to open cholecystectomy is 0.05 to 20%, there is a need to evaluate various factors responsible for difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This study is done to evaluate the preoperative clinical and radiological factors responsible for predicting difficult laparoscopic
HPI: MR is a 70 y.o. male patient who presents to ER with constant, dull and RUQ abdominal pain onset yesterday that irradiate to the back of right shoulder. Client also c/o nauseas, vomiting and black stool x2 this morning. He reports that currently resides in an ALF; they called the ambulance after his second episodes of black stool. Pt reports he drank Pepto-Bismol yesterday evening without relief. Pt states that he never experienced similar symptoms in the past. Denies any CP, emesis, hematochezia or any other associated symptoms at this time. Client was found with past history gallbladder problems years ago.
Liver percusses to 8 cm at midclavicular line, one fingerbreadth below right costal margin: This indicates that the patient does not have signs or symptoms of liver disease or ascites.
complications include hemorrhage, perforation, obstruction (from intessusception or volvulus) and neoplasia. In our case the patient had a proximal small bowel obstruction secondary to gallstone ileus with impaction of two smaller stones at a MD. This is exceptionally rare with only 3 cases having been reported in the literature. The techniques for surgical resection of MD are simple diverticulectomy or a segmental small bowel resection. As far as we know, there are no studies directly comparing these two resection techniques. However, as in our case, if the small bowel lumen is in danger of being narrowed or the neck of the diverticulum is wide, a segmental resection is favored over a simple diverticulectomy. [3]
Cholesteatoma is a growth of excess skin or a skin cyst (epithelial cyst) that contains desquamated keratin and grows in the middle ear and mastoid (Thio, Ahmed, & Bickerton, 2005). A cholesteatoma can grow and spread, destroying the ossicles, tympanic membrane and other parts of the ear. They appear on the pars flaccida and pars tensa sections of the tympanic membrane. A cholesteatoma can occur when a part of a perforated tympanic membrane is pushed back into the middle ear space, debris and skin cells can build up forming a growth. It can obstruct tympanic membrane movement and movement of the ossicles. As the layers grow, the amount of hearing loss can increase. A cholesteatoma can be congenital (present at birth) or be acquired as a result of another disease. They can also be formed as a result of a surgery, trauma, chronic ear infection, chronic otitis media, or tympanic membrane perforation. It can develop beyond the tympanic membrane and cause intracranial and extracranial complications. Due to this patients can experience permanent hearing loss as a result of an infection of the inner ear as well as other serious health concerns. These include dizziness, facial nerve weakness and infections of the skull (Hall, 2013). Patients may present chronically discharging ear, hearing loss, dizziness, otalgia (ear pain), and perforations (marginal or attic).
•The forty five year old patient is diagnosed with the progressive cirrhosis inflaming the liver along with the parenchymal cells. The plain symptoms is manifested primarily because of the augmentation of edema internally in the lower abdomen.

A common condition that is associated with GERD and LES problems is having a hiatal hernia. A hiatal hernia is when you have a larger than normal opening in the diaphragm where the esophagus passes through. Since this opening is larger, the stomach begins to enter this opening. When you eat, the stomach and esophagus ...
...ases strain and likelihood of error which results in an increase in the time taken to perform the procedure. Computer assisted surgery uses computers for guiding and performing surgical intrusions in addition to pre-surgical planning. Robotic surgery or robotically assisted surgery overcomes the limitations of traditional Human-Machine Interfaces and enhance the abilities of surgeons during open surgeries. Moreover, there are numerous training simulators available to surgeons for practice and learning purposes.

A robot-assisted surgery demonstrates how far America and the whole world have come in means of technology within a particular working field. The necessity for a more superior technology within hospital settings are best supported by the development of the da Vinci Surgical System. In 1991, when the surgical system was introduced to the globe, many acknowledged that this system improved three different aspects of regular laparoscopic surgery: it gave doctor...
More than 40,000 people a year are so desperate to lose weight they turn to the controversial, sometimes life-threatening surgery such as Gastric Bypass. I will be explaining what the surgery entitles, disadvantages vs. advantages. And most important, is Gastric bypass surgery the right choice when considering the risks. The most common form of “stomach stapling” is gastric bypass. In this procedure, a small pouch is formed in the stomach and stapled shut. The small intestine is then cut and stapled onto the pouch, shrinking the stomach’s ability to take in food. The technique involves removing a section of the stomach and rearranging the small bowel to divert bile and pancreatic secretions away from the food stream. Fats and starches flow through without being absorbed. In order to be a candidate for the surgery, patients must be considered morbidly obese or at least 100 pounds overweight. Before an individual gets the go-ahead, he or she meets with doctors and psychologists to rule out all other ways of help. Surgery may sound like the best option for a morbidly overweight person, but a small figure comes at a high price. There are health risks and the side effects can be fatal. Three people will die during every 1,000 procedures, according to the ASBS. Let me tell you about more disadvantages. More than one-third of obese patients who have gastric surgery develop gallstones. Nearly one in three develop nutritional deficiencies. Patients could also be at risk for anemia, osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease.
This was his second episode since 10 days ago where he develop the same pain at his right flank. He suddenly experienced severe pain 8 hours before admission when the pain shifts to his right lower quadrant of his abdomen. The onset is at 6.30 am before worsening at 10 p.m to 2 p.m. He described the pain as continuous sharp pain and gradually increased in severity. There is no radiation of the pain. The pain was exaggerated on movement and touch. There were no relieving factor and he scale the severity as 7/10. He experienced fever for 1 day prior to admission. It was a mild grade continuous fever. He does not experienced chills and rigor. The patient does not experience any nausea or vomiting, no dysphagia, no pain during micturition and no alteration in bowel habit. He experienced loss of appetite but not notice any weight loss.
The improvements in surgeries, such as less invasive surgeries, having more ways to lessen pain, and surgeries having fewer side effects, has dramatically changed how the Ameri-cans react to the idea of surgery. The idea of less invasive surgery came about in America not soon after improvements in France, “a cascade of events was set in motion that impact on the performance of surgery in the 21st century. The concepts of "surgery through a scope" dated to the end of the 19th century but the technology of the late 20th century made laparoscopic surgery and minimally invasive surgery not an isolated event but a reality,” (Mack, Minimally Invasive). This is a major improvement that makes surgery more appealing to Americans. This same article tells of the problems of invasive surgery, “The pain, discomfort, and disability, or other morbidity as a result of surgery is more frequently due to trauma involved in gaining access to the ar...
On my first clinical rotation outside of 5w, in the Roanoke Memorial Hospital, I had the pleasure of visiting the OR. My last week of clinical rotation, I got the opportunity to witness two different cases. I saw a hemorrhoidectomy, and a Laparoscopic colectomy. Although I only had an opportunity of witnessing the hemorrhoidectomy in the middle of the procedure, both procedures were quite invasive. There were both very interesting to watch.
