Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

205
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:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Single incision laparoscopy is an evolving technique in pediatric surgery.
    • This study evaluates the initial experience with single incision laparoscopic appendectomy in children.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the safety and efficacy of single incision laparoscopic appendectomy.
    • To evaluate the perioperative outcomes and complications in pediatric patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 160 pediatric patients with uncomplicated appendicitis.
    • Data collected included demographics, surgical outcomes, complications (Clavien-Dindo), and follow-up.
    • Study period: April 2019 to April 2021.

    Main Results:

    • 160 patients (45% female), median age 12 years.
    • Median surgery duration: 50 minutes; one conversion to multiport laparoscopy.
    • Median hospital stay: 2 days; 5 intra-abdominal and 9 wound complications observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Single incision laparoscopic appendectomy is a safe and effective treatment for uncomplicated appendicitis in children.
    • The method is rapidly adoptable in pediatric surgical practice.
