Single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy is feasible: initial experience with 80 cases
Conclusion SILS cholecystectomy is feasible, with acceptable morbidity. Although not directly compared in this study, postoperative recovery
appears shorter than after standard laparoscopy, but more studies are needed.

Pure natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) cholecystectomy
Abstract Enthusiasm for natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) has been partly tempered by the reality that most NOTES
procedures to date have been laparoscopically assisted. After safely performing transvaginal cholecystectomy in an IACUC-approved
porcine model, the authors embarked on an institution review board (IRB)-approved protocol for ultimate performance of pure
NOTES cholecystectomy in humans. They describe their experience performing a true NOTES transvaginal cholecystectomy after
safely accomplishing three laparoscopically assisted or hybrid procedures in humans. One of the patients was a 35-year-old
woman presenting with symptoms of biliary colic. Ultrasound confirmed gallstones, and her liver enzymes were normal. Pneumoperitoneum
to 15 mm......

Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration and holmium laser lithotripsy: a novel approach to the management of common bile duct stones
Conclusions Laparoscopic CBD exploration via a transcystic approach together with holmium laser lithotripsy is a safe and effective way
to clear large solitary or impacted CBD stones. This technique also avoids choledochotomy and may be used in concert with
other methods such as ERCP, percutaneous cholangioscopy, and open exploration.

Magnetic retraction for NOTES transvaginal cholecystectomy
Conclusions Transvaginal cholecystectomy can be completed safely using current technology. Further studies are needed to determine the
safety of the procedure and to determine whether it confers any benefits other than cosmesis.

Gallbladder cancer: role of laparoscopy in the management of potentially resectable tumors
Conclusions Laparoscopy may be employed in the management of patients with early forms of gallbladder cancer undergoing reoperation. Although
the presence of adhesions may result in inadequate exploration, there is a subset of patients for whom it is possible to perform
a complete exam. Furthermore, laparoscopic lymphadenectomy and gallbladder bed resection is a promising technique in well-selected
patients.

A decade of washing out common bile duct stones with papillary balloon dilatation as a one-stage procedure during laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Conclusions We consider the wash out of common bile duct stones after LTPBD in a one-stage procedure to be an easy to do and safe operation
with great results. Cooperation with an intervention radiologist and application of an angioplastic dilatation dotter balloon
catheter are the keys to success in this procedure. In our hospital, it is the treatment of choice for choledocholithiasis
associated with cholelithiasis.

Intra-operative sphincterotomy and ERCP for choledocholithiasis during laparoscopic cholecystectomy
To the Editors: I read the report by Tekin et al on the intra-operative laparoendoscopic “rendezvous” (LER) versus laparoscopic antegrade sphincterotomy (LAS) for choledocholithiasis with interest. References to the laparoendoscopic treatment of choledocholithiasis (LER) quoted were published between 2000 and 2006. In 1992, I presented a paper on the technique of LER intra-operative sphincterotomy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for choledocholithiasis during laparoscopic cholecystectomy at the World Association Hepato Pancreato Biliary (HPB) Surgery, 4th World Congress Meeting in Hong Kong.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis should be performed by a laparoscopic surgeon
Conclusions Patients who present with acute cholecystitis have a greater chance of a laparoscopically completed cholecystectomy if operated
on by a laparoscopy-oriented surgeon.

The transversus abdominis plane block: a valuable option for postoperative analgesia? A topical review
The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a newly described peripheral block involving the nerves of the anterior abdominal wall. The block has been developed for post-operative pain control after gynaecologic and abdominal surgery. The initial technique described the lumbar triangle of Petit as the landmark used to access the TAP in order to facilitate the deposition of local anaesthetic solution in the neurovascular plane. Other techniques include ultrasound-guided access to the neurovascular plane via the mid-axillary line between the iliac crest and the costal margin, and a subcostal access termed the 'oblique subcostal' access. A systematic search of the literature identified a total of seven randomized clinical trials investigating the effect of TAP block on post-operative pain,......

Detection of bacterial DNA in acute and chronic cholecystitis
The incidence of bacterbilia in cholelithiasis remains controversial. The positivity of cultures ranges from 0 to 73 per cent. The aim of this study was to employ the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect bacterial DNA in gallbladder bile extracted during elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and to compare PCR findings with those of bile culture.Bile samples from 84 laparoscopic cholecystectomies were collected for culture and PCR analysis.Positive results for bacterbilia were found in 42 (50 per cent) of 84 patients by PCR but in only 16 patients (19 per cent) by culture (P < 0·001). Agreement between the two methods was seen in 44 samples (52 per cent), which were negative in 35 cases. Pathological examination showed chronic cholecystitis in 69 cases (82 per cent) and acute cholec......

CONCLUSION:: PCR is more sensitive in detecting bacterial contamination of gallbladder bile in cholecystitis than conventional culture. The clinical relevance of this high sensitivity remains unclear. Copyright (c) 2010 British Journal of Surgery Society Ltd. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Single Port Access (SPA) Surgery—a 24-Month Experience
Conclusion With initial procedures performed in April 2007, we now report 24-month follow-up of a novel laparoscopic approach utilizing
standard instrumentation. We demonstrate that SPA surgery is an alternative to multiport procedures with proposed initial
benefits of decreased number of incisions and improved cosmesis for the patient. Long-term prospective randomized large case
series will be necessary to assess pain, recovery, and hernia formation proving advantages, if any, over multiport laparoscopy.

Leiomyoma of the gallbladder: a case report with review of the literature and discussion of the differential diagnosis
Mesenchymal neoplasms of the gallbladder are rare, and most represent sarcomas of various histological types. To our knowledge, only a few patients with multiple Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)-associated smooth muscle tumours of the gallbladder in the setting of immunodeficiency have been reported in the English literature, but no single case of conventional leiomyoma has been well documented to date. A case of gallbladder leiomyoma in a healthy 34-year-old woman is described here. The tumour was found incidentally on a routine ultrasound examination and was removed by simple cholecystectomy. The patient is alive and well at last follow-up, 6 months after surgery. Histology and immunohistochemistry were consistent with a benign smooth muscle neoplasm that is very similar to conventional ut......
