Background The 2015 Lancet Commission on global surgery identified surgery and anaesthesia as indispensable parts of holistic health-care systems. However, COVID-19 exposed the fragility of planned surgical services around the world, which have also been neglected in pandemic recovery planning. This study aimed to develop and validate a novel index...

In this chapter, we aim to describe the robotic total mesocolic excision (TMCE) technique for colon cancer. We will discuss the basics of TMCE and specifically the robotic approach. Robotic technology offers better dexterity, increased triangulation, and ergonomic superiority. The disadvantages like increased cost and operative time may be counterb...
Complexity and operative risks of complete mesocolic excision (CME) seem to be important drawbacks to generalize this procedure in the surgical treatment of right colon cancer. Robotic systems have been developed to improve quality and outcomes of minimal invasive surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of robotic right-sided...
Introduction: The laparoscopic approach to appendectomy surgery led to various appendiceal ligation methods; however, the ideal technique for appendiceal stump closure has yet to be determined. This study is a comparison of intracorporeal knotting (IK) and Endoloop (Ethicon, Inc., Somerville, NJ, USA) (EL) techniques for appendiceal stump closure d...
Background/aims:

The most serious complication after major liver resection is liver failure. Depending on preoperative liver function, a future liver remnant of 25%-40% is considered sufficient to avoid postoperative liver failure. A new technique known as portal vein ligation combined with in situ splitting has been developed to obtain rapid liver hypertrophy. Her...
Objectives:

With increased experience and technological advancement, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is reported to be safe and feasible even in the presence of most of the previously recognized contraindications. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of prior upper and lower abdominal surgery on laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Material...
Background:
Adoption of laparoscopic surgery for cancers requiring partial or total proctectomy has been slow due to difficulty of achieving oncologically adequate resection. Obesity is a factor complicating use and outcomes of laparoscopic technique for rectal surgery. Impact of obesity on the outcomes of robotic rectal surgery for cancer is not...
Anal stricture is a rare but serious complication seen after haemorrhoidectomy (1, 2). Extensive removal of the anoderm results in scarring and progressive stricturing. Depending on the severity of stricture, treatment options are usually surgical. Anoplasty could be performed in severe stenosis. Various types of flaps have been described for the a...
Various surgical techniques have been described for the treatment of rectocele[1].Ventral mesh rectopexy is one of the surgical techniques for the treatment of pelvic floor diseases. This approach could be performed laparoscopically or robotically[1,2]. Robotic (da Vinci Surgical System, Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) platform has several...
Complete mesocolic excision (CME) with high ligation of the vessels is a surgical technique ensuring wide resection of the colonic mesentery and contained lymph nodes.(1) Radical colectomy, using the no-touch technique of Turnbull, was employed.(2) The concept was for early isolation and division of mesenteric vessels in order to prevent venous spr...
The importance of femoral hernia is that the emergency presentations are relatively common [1]. Minimally invasive groin herniorrhaphy has better postoperative outcomes compared to open approach [2, 3]. In addition, laparoscopic herniorrhaphy for femoral hernia has lower reoperation rates compared to open [1]. his article is protected by copyright....
Purpose. To investigate whether there is a difference between acromegalic and non-acromegalic cases in terms of bowel preparation and colonoscopic intervention. Methods. Patients with controlled and uncontrolled acromegaly and as a control group (CG) patients without acromegaly between January 2010 and March 2014 were included. Groups were compared...
Introduction:
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with subsequent hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a promising modality to treat and prevent peritoneal metastases. However, this treatment is associated with signficant morbidity and mortality. Whether or not CRS with HIPEC interferes with anastomotic healing has also been debated. This...
Complete mesocolic excision (CME) with central vascular ligation for right-sided colon cancer has been proven to provide superior oncologic outcomes and survival advantage when compared to standard lymphadenectomy [1]. A number of studies comparing conventional laparoscopic versus open CME have shown feasibility and safety of the laparoscopic appro...
Background:
We aimed to compare perioperative outcomes for procedures using the latest generation of da Vinci robot versus its previous version in rectal cancer surgery.
Patients and methods:
Fifty-three patients undergoing robotic rectal cancer surgery between January 2010 and March 2015 were included. Patients were classified into 2 groups (Xi...
Introduction:
After its description in 1980, restorative proctocolectomy has become the procedure of choice for ulcerative colitis (UC). The supposed advantages of the laparoscopy have proven beneficial for colorectal operations but a standard technique in laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy (LRP) is still lacking. In this study, we present o...
In patients with ulcerative colitis undergoing laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy, the mesocolon and mesorectum are usually dissected in a plane near the bowel wall to avoid injury to the retroperitoneal structures such as the ureters, gonadal vessels and autonomic nerves. Dissection in this plane requires ligation of many mesenteric vascular...
Our video shows our technique of robotic restorative proctocoloectomy in a patient with ulcerative colitis. The operation is performed via a medial-to-lateral approach through seven ports. The robot (da Vinci Xi System, Intuitive Surgical Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, USA) is docked from the patient's right side. First, the ileocolic vessels are isolated, c...

Breast cancer is still the most common cancer and is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths in among women. Thanks to advances in its screening and treatment the breast cancer is among one of the most curable cancers. The aim of the clinical studies is to promote evidence-based medicine. Since publication of the first randomized study in 19...
With the advent of single-port laparoscopy, the spectrum of abdominal surgeries performed is widening. The retraction of the left lobe of the liver in the upper gastrointestinal procedures is a critical maneuver with its added possible complications. In our study, we used the Cerrahpasa retractor (trademark pending by E. Eyuboglu and T. Ipek) for t...
Ultrasonography-guided needle biopsy techniques have limitations and conventional excisional biopsy may pose challenges in the diagnosis of ultrasonography-demonstrable axillary lymphadenopathy. In this study, we report an alternative technique, radio-guided lymph node biopsy, and describe its technical aspects and diagnostic role. Between January...
Feeding jejunal tubes provide an excellent method for enteral nutritional support in cases where the oral route is impossible or insufficient for use. However, several complications may result from the placement of the tube. Detachment of the tube and migration through the intestine is a very rare complication. We report herein a 65-year-old male p...
The radioguided occult lesion localisation (ROLL) technique is used for the excision of non-palpable breast lesions. This technique has not been described previously for the extraction of foreign bodies from the breast parenchyma. We report here a female patient who was admitted to our hospital with a foreign body in her right breast. The ROLL tech...
Conventional surgical exploration to find clinically occult axillary lymph node recurrence of breast cancer can be challenging. The aim of this study was to determine the place of our alternative technique, axillary-ROLL (A-ROLL), in previously treated breast cancer patients with nonpalpable axillary lymph node recurrences.
