Background: With increasing performance of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP), the postoperative complications are becoming more apparent. Gastrojejunal anastomotic strictures develop in 4.7 to 27% of patients undergoing laparoscopic RYGBP. This paper

Background: Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) has been shown to be a safe and effective option for renal procurement. Studies comparing open nephrectomy and hand-assisted laparoscopy have emphasized decreased warm ischemia time when compared with

Precise clinical staging of esophageal cancer before treatment is important. Thoracoscopic/laparoscopic (Ts/Ls) staging has been proposed as a promising staging method. This study was conducted to evaluate the potential benefits of Ts/Ls staging over

We determined whether laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy decreases the morbidity of renal donation for the donor, while providing a renal allograft of a quality comparable to that of open donor nephrectomy.In a 3-year period laparoscopic donor nep

The need for more organs for kidney transplantation is increasing. Cadaver sources for these organs are stable, therefore living donation must increase if the need is to be met. Less perfect kidneys are now being transplanted. The pool of potential d

Background: Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) is a new technique. While the short-term recipient renal function is equivalent to that of the traditional open nephrectomy (ODN), long-term function and potential exclusion criteria, such as the prese

Unlike mediastinoscopy in lung cancer, there exists no standard minimally invasive test to stage esophageal cancer. If it were possible to obtain exact preoperative staging in esophageal cancer, patients could be separated prospectively to receive ne

The role of flexible endoscopy in the diagnosis of esophageal trauma remains undefined. This study evaluates the use of immediate flexible fiberoptic esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) as the primary diagnostic tool for detection of esophageal injury i
