Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Area of Science:

Minimally Invasive Surgery
Surgical Oncology
Hernia Repair

Background:

Laparoscopic surgery is a common approach for incisional hernias.
Single Incision Endoscopic Surgery (SIES) is a less invasive alternative.
SIES has not been widely reported for incisional lumbar hernias.

Observation:

A 66-year-old woman with a large incisional lumbar hernia post-bone graft harvesting was treated.
A single 20-mm umbilical incision was used for trocar insertion.
The 14x9 cm hernia defect was repaired with an intraperitoneal onlay mesh graft.

Findings:

SIES for incisional lumbar hernia is feasible and safe.
The procedure resulted in an uneventful postoperative course.
Outcomes were equivalent to traditional laparoscopic surgery.
