An Unusual Cause of Abdominal Ascites. [PDF]

, 2018
Abdominal ascites is most commonly caused by portal hypertension from liver cirrhosis. When present, portal hypertension is associated with an elevated serum-ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) ≥1.1 g/dL. In contrast, a SAAG < 1.1 g/dL suggests malignancy,

Late anastomotic complication after laparoscopic surgery for clinical stage I low rectal cancers located within 5 cm of the anal verge: Sub‐analysis of the ultimate trial

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Anastomotic stenosis and late fistula formation frequently emerge as secondary consequences of early AL, and represent significant complications linked to permanent stoma creation, often proving resistant to treatment. Intestinal prolapse is a characteristic anastomotic complication of ISR that can be caused by excessive intestinal mobilization.

Analysis of the characteristics and management of perforated peptic ulcer from 2011 to 2022: A multicenter and retrospective descriptive study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The in‐hospital mortality rate for perforated peptic ulcer in this study was 5.0%, and conservative treatment was safely performed even in elderly patients. As the perforation diameter increased, the rate of gastrectomy tended to rise, and the rate of anastomotic leakage in those patients was high.

Positioning patients for robotic‐assisted surgery: A qualitative study of operating room nurses' experiences

Nursing Open, Volume 10, Issue 2, Page 469-478, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim One of the challenges of robotic‐assisted surgery is related to positioning of the patient on the operating table. Technological developments place increased demands on operating room nurses' competence to prevent positioning injuries and ensuring care quality.

Effectiveness of advanced dressings in preventing surgical site infections compared to that of standard dressings in gastrointestinal surgery: A systematic review and meta‐analysis for guideline revision by the Japanese Society for Surgical Infection

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This is a systematic review and meta‐analysis of the efficacy of wound coverage using advanced dressings specifically for the prevention of surgical site infections (SSI) in gastrointestinal surgery. We found that the use of advanced dressings for primary wounds in gastrointestinal surgery was associated with a significantly lower risk of SSI than that

Validation of a surgical workspace scale during robot‐assisted surgery

The International Journal of Medical Robotics and Computer Assisted Surgery, Volume 19, Issue 1, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Background A sufficient surgical workspace is crucial to avoid complications. Within classic laparoscopy, many subjective surgical rating scales (SRSs) have previously been used to evaluate the surgical workspace. This study aimed to validate a modified version of the 5‐point SRS during robot‐assisted radical nephrectomy (RARN). Methods Thirty‐

Laparoscopy Surgery CO2 Removal via Generative Adversary Network and Dark Channel Prior [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Laparoscopic surgery uses a thin tube with a camera called a laparoscope, which is inserted into the abdomen through a small incision in the skin during surgery. This allows to a surgeon to see inside of the body without causing significant injury to the patient. These characteristics make laparoscopy a widely used technique.

Desmoking laparoscopy surgery images using an image-to-image translation guided by an embedded dark channel [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
In laparoscopic surgery, the visibility in the image can be severely degraded by the smoke caused by the $CO_2$ injection, and dissection tools, thus reducing the visibility of organs and tissues. This lack of visibility increases the surgery time and even the probability of mistakes conducted by the surgeon, then producing negative consequences on the
