Gallstones (Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery)

The gallbladder is an important organ, but it is not essential for life. Therefore, the standard treatment for symptomatic patients who suffer from gallstones or acute/chronic cholecystitis is to surgically remove the gallbladder and the gallstones.

For over 100 years the cholecystectomy technique evolved little and required a generous abdominal incision but with the advent of laparoscopy, the laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the "gold standard" in the treatment of gallbladder disease and more than 90% are done using this minimally invasive approach with very low risks.

Even at present times the technique continues evolving and improving, looking for better recovery times with less pain and better aesthetical results, an example of this continuous evolution is the Single Port Access Surgery.

Inguinal/Groin Hernia (Laparoscopic Groin Hernia Repair)

All groin hernia types (inguinal and femoral) are repaired using the same principles. In the past, sutured tissue repairs approximating them to close the defect were popular, but now, it is more of historical interest, this technique is being widely abandoned in the present, because of the high recurrence rates and intense postoperative pain.

The best option out there is the "tension-free "repair (open or laparoscopic), using prosthetic material (a mesh) to widely overlap all of the potential sites of herniation, without trying to close the defect with the weakened patient’s own tissues, thus, leading to less recurrence and much less pain; adding this concept to the laparoscopic approach, has made the groin hernia repair to evolve enormously in the last 15 years.

Incisional/Ventral Hernias (Laparoscopic Incisional/Ventral Hernia Repair)

Incisional hernias occur as a result of excessive tension and/or inadequate healing of a previous incision, which is often associated with surgical site infection.

Signs and Symptoms

• Bulge in the abdominal wall, usually under or close to the site of the previous incision, the size varies from small to very large defects and bulges. It also enlarges upon increases in the intra-abdominal pressure or standing position.
• Multiple or single defects and/or bulges can be found.
• Pain also varies from patient to patient, depends on the size of the defect and the contents of the hernia sac.
• Abdominal Distension when the contents of the hernia sac involve intra-abdominal organs, mainly small bowel, this sign/symptom can be present, accompanied by increased pain.
• When the contents cannot return to the abdominal cavity, it is incarcerated; this may lead to increased pain, bowel obstruction and strangulation, which if its left untreated, can lead to serious complications.
   

Hiatal Hernia (Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Repair)

A hiatal hernia is a condition in which the upper portion of the stomach protrudes into the chest cavity through an opening of the diaphragm called the esophageal hiatus. This opening usually is large enough to accommodate the esophagus alone. With progressive weakening and enlargement, this opening can allow upward passage or even entrapment of the upper stomach above the diaphragm.

The presence of a hiatal hernia increases the risk of having GERD, and when GERD is treated surgically, patients who have accompanying hiatal hernias, need surgical repair for this also; That is the reason why some patients and doctors use the term hiatal hernia to mean GERD indistinctly, even though they are two separate problems. BUT there are many patients with GERD who do not have hiatal hernia, and many patients with hiatal hernia that do not have GERD at all.

A hiatal hernia is a common condition; by age 60, up to 60% of people have it at some degree.

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease/GERD (Laparoscopic Antireflux Surgery)

The role of operative treatment for Hiatal Hernias and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) changed dramatically during the 1990s. Today, laparoscopic antireflux surgery has assumed a major role in the treatment of both of these diseases.

The principles for laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication (which is the most common and effective type of antireflux surgery) are exactly the same as in open surgery, but the benefits of being performed by minimally invasive means do not have point of comparison. Laparoscopic fundoplication is considered nowadays the "gold standard" for the surgical treatment of GERD.

Single port access surgery (SPA)

is one of the latest “modifications” in the constantly evolving laparoscopic surgery; its goal is to make minimally invasive surgery even less invasive and therefore leading to an even faster recovery with the best esthetical compared to standard laparoscopy.
Single port access surgery is just one of the many different names this technique has received since it was first done in May 2007 by Dr. Paul Curcillo. Other names or synonyms are:

• Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS)
• Reduced Port Surgery
• Bell Button Surgery
• Laparo-endoscopic Single Site (LESS)
• “NO-SCAR” Surgery
• Etc.

All of the previous mean exactly the same, the names explain by themselves, it is a laparoscopic surgery done through only one incision in the abdomen, instead of the usual 3, 5 or more small incisions done in standard laparoscopic surgery. This half-inch single incision is made in the umbilicus or belly button in order to hide the scar.
