The goal of the Safe Laparoscopic Surgery Saves Lives Challenge is to improve the safety of minimal access surgical care around the world by ensuring adherence to proven standards of care in all countries. The WHO Surgical Safety Checklist has improved compliance with standards and decreased complications from laparoscopic surgery in pilot hospitals where is was evaluated. The entire time patients in Laparoscopic surgery commit to low blood pressure level might be a stronger predictor of serious postoperative complications as opposed to depth of the hypotensive troughs they hit throughout the procedure. Depending upon the final results of such validation steps, scientist anticipate an evolutionary practice change if not every, but many patients outcomes could be improved by minimizing hypotensive exposures during Laparoscopic Surgery. The investigators used logistic regression to discover the relationship between cumulative time spent beneath the various thresholds and 30-day mortality.  MORE

Good vision is most important component of a successful laparoscopic surgery. The security and effectiveness of any advanced laparoscopic surgery utilizes the clarity from the image given by the rod-lens system and the high definition 3 chip camera. In Laparoscopic surgery clear vision ensures precision, uninterrupted flow from the surgical movements and promotes ergonomics of efficient surgical team function. Recent technological advances have improved the caliber of the optic equipment used in laparoscopic surgery, with improved lenses, better 3 Chip HD cameras, high-definition monitors and stronger LED illumination now being available. At present there are many foreign and domestic companies produce various endoscopic equipments- functional, reliable, ergonomic, standing out for their modern design. Only by applying to state of the art endovideosystem it is possible for operating surgeon and gynecologist to act coordinately with two or more manipulator operating instrument simultaneously bringing closer the operative competences of laparoscopic surgery to those of traditional surgery, and in some cases surpassing each other if the vision is good. One of the most struggling part of vision is fog. The fogging can be easily eliminated by warming the telescope in hot water flask. Once the temperature of telescope is more than body temperature fogging will not occur. But warming the telescope is a cumbersome and time taking procedure.  MORE

Ethicon Percutaneous Surgical Set (PSS) and the Magnetic Guidance and Anchoring System (MAGS) got FDA Approval. Ethicon Endo-Surgery introduced two new surgical technology concepts that happen to be thought to be a milestone in minimal invasive surgery, the Percutaneous Surgical Set (PSS) as well as the Magnetic Guidance and Anchoring System (MAGS). These prototype systems can be viewed as pioneers in next generation minimal invasive surgery since they are supposed to be able to execute complex operations by reduction of the dimensions and variety of incisions or even operate inside a body system with magnetic control. Compared to traditional laparoscopy fewer and smaller incisions are essential. Both innovative instruments hence provide the possible ways to decrease the patient trauma significantly and to shorten recovery time. The creation of the Percutaneous Surgical Set and MAGS is another milestone on the way towards Minimal Access Surgery.  MORE
