[Two Cases in Which Simultaneous Laparoscopic Surgery and Breast Cancer Surgery Using a Head-Mounted Monitor Were...

Herein, we report on how we were able to reduce the operation time by simultaneously performing laparoscopic surgery and breast cancer surgery using a head-mounted monitor(HMS-3000MT, Sony corporation). Case 1: 60s, female. A 5.5 cm leiomyoma was found in the central thoracic esophagus, and a 1 cm breast cancer was found in the C region of the left mammary gland. Subtotal esophagectomy with right thoracotomy and laparoscopy and a left partial mastectomy were performed. For the abdominal surgery, HMS-3000MT was used under hand-assisted laparoscopy, and a left partial mastectomy was performed concurrently. Operation time was 367 minutes(simultaneous surgery for 56 minutes). Esophagus: leiomyoma, 50×45 mm; and mammary gland: 16×15 mm, pTis(DCIS), pN0(sn), cM0, and pStage 0. Case 2: 70s, female. A 3 cm sized GIST was found on the posterior wall of the middle gastric body, and a breast cancer of 1.3 cm was also found in the B region of the right mammary gland. Using HMS-3000MT, laparoscopic local resection of the stomach and right total glandectomy were performed concurrently. Operation time was 114 minutes(simultaneous surgery for 58 minutes). Stomach: GIST, 25×22 mm, and modified Flecher classification low risk; and mammary gland: invasive ductal carcinoma, 15×15 mm, pT1c, pN0(sn), cM0, and pStage Ⅰ. Conclusion: In 2 fields of surgery, simultaneous surgery using HMS-3000MT was considered to be a useful method to shorten the operation time.
