Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

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
Laparoscopic procedures
Surgical techniques

Background:

Pneumoperitoneum creation is essential for minimally invasive surgery.
Iatrogenic injuries during trocar insertion are rare but serious complications.
The Open Veress Assisted (OVA) technique aims to enhance safety during initial trocar placement.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the Open Veress Assisted (OVA) technique.
To evaluate the safety and utility of the OVA technique in clinical practice.

Main Methods:

Detailed description of each step of the OVA technique.
Retrospective review of prospectively maintained institutional databases.
Analysis of clinical outcomes associated with OVA technique use.

Main Results:

The OVA technique was utilized in 324 laparoscopic procedures between December 2018 and July 2021.
Procedures included 259 colorectal resections and 24 gastrectomies.
No intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred that were related to pneumoperitoneum creation.

Conclusions:

The OVA technique represents a safe alternative for laparoscopic entry.
It mitigates risks associated with insertion forces, beneficial for patients with prior surgery or atypical trocar placement needs.
