The laparoscopic technique for splenectomy has become the preferred method for splenectomy at many institutions over the last 10 years. The advantages of laparoscopic splenectomy include a shortened postoperative hospitalization, improved cosmesis, and less analgesic requirements.

Journal of Endourology, 2000
Although there has long been debate about the existence of nephroptosis, contemporary radiologic and biochemical studies confirm its existence. Both percutaneous and laparoscopic operations are available for fixing the kidney, with high early success rates. Objective documentation of the diagnosis is mandatory. Further studies with validated quality-of-

Advances in minimally invasive surgery have made it possible to remove solid organs such as the adrenal gland laparoscopically. Several studies have shown that when applied to appropriate operative candidates, laparoscopic adrenalectomy is a safe alternative to conventional open surgery with real advantages in terms of decreasing postoperative pain and

Surgical Endoscopy, 1992
Splenectomy has traditionally been done through a generous laparotomy incision, requiring complete mobilization of the spleen for removal. In selected cases, however, splenectomy may either be facilitated or performed entirely by laparoscopic means. Two patients with Hodgkin's disease in whom splenectomy was facilitated laparoscopically are described ...

AbstractAppendectomy was performed using a laparoscopic approach in 915 patients. The collected data show that the technique is as feasible, rapid, and safe as open surgery. Few wound infections, minimal pain, and rapid postoperative mobilization are the main arguments in favor of laparoscopic appendectomy. The most important potential benefit, a lower

Endoscopy, 1987
Occasionally the surgeon has to venture into exploratory laparotomy, in order to confirm his assessment and also to treat accordingly. However, laparoscopy has become a means of minimising such situations for the surgeon. Against this background few surgeons have of late, been using the laparoscope for confirming or discounting the particular pathology

Laparoscopic gastrostomy was performed successfully on six consecutive patients after the procedure was developed using a porcine model. These patients were unable to undergo percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomies because of obstruction from cancer or anatomical blockage. Operative time averaged less than 18 min.

To the Editor. —The cost of laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be lowered. In the recent Letters section of JAMA , 1 the hospital cost was $4633 and $6750 at two different centers. Our group has done more than 1200 laparoscopic cholecystectomies. A recent audit of 50 cases (age less than 60 years, elective cases) showed an average hospital charge of ...
