Background: The IUD is a popular family planning method worldwide. Intrauterine device migration into the peritoneal cavity is a serious complication and requires surgical removal in the majority of cases. In most of the reported cases, retrieval was performed through laparotomy. Moreover, cases which were attempted laparoscopically, many of them later converted to open. Also, previously published articles have mentioned migration of IUD into rectosigmoid, urinary bladder, small intestine, iliac vessels, and other sites. Ours is a probably first reported case of displaced IUD presenting as discharging umbilical sinus and surgical retrieval performed via laparoscopic approach. Case description: A 28-year-old woman presented with pain and discharge from umbilicus. Investigations revealed displaced IUD at the level of umbilicus. Patient underwent laparoscopy surgery and found to have displaced IUD, embedded in-between omental adhesion to umbilicus. Entire surgery was carried out laparoscopically and IUD removed. Patient had uneventful recovery after surgery. Conclusion: Uterine perforation following IUD insertion is a rare but potentially serious complication. Accurate preoperative localization of displaced IUD is obligatory and helpful. Current practice is to surgically remove all displaced IUDs. Laparoscopic approach appears to be safe with advantage of faster recovery and good cosmesis. Clinical significance: Our article will provide insight in erratic presentation of displaced IUD and further augment the role of laparoscopy in the management of such cases.","PeriodicalId":38741,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Laparoscopic Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47125595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Laparoscopic repair along with the advantage of improved vision and accessibility can also avoid large incisions, thereby reducing morbidity and long hospital stay, due to pain and lung complications, with early return to work. Materials and methods: A total of five cases underwent laparoscopic diaphragmatic repair at our center in 1 year duration. All cases were followed up with immediate postoperative and quarterly chest X-rays. Results: None required conversion to open. Diaphragm was reconstructed and reinforced with mesh. None had any postoperative complications. Follow-up postoperative chest X-rays were unremarkable.

In spite of the increasing number of laparoscopic cholecystectomies being performed as day care surgery in the West, the surgeons of developing countries are reluctant to adopt this trend probably due to the inadequate resources and infrastructure which they consider a hindrance for safe discharge. Our study aims to assess the feasibility of day care laparoscopic cholecystectomies. Materials and methods: This is a prospective observational study. All patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were assessed postoperatively for dischargeability using post-anesthetic discharge scoring system (PADSS). We assessed the factors delaying the early discharge of laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients in terms of patient factors, intraoperative factors, postoperative factors, social factors, and logistic factors. Results: Of the total 88 patients, 57 (64.7%) were dischargeable at 6 hours and 78 (88.6%) were dischargeable at 24 hours. Factors found to affect dischargeability of patients at 6 hours were acute cholecystitis and increased duration of surgery. Difficulty of surgery and the use of drain had significant association with nondischargeability at 24 hours. Eighteen patients were fit for discharge by PADSS criteria but not discharged at 24 hours. Factors, which delayed the discharge of these patients, were continuation of intravenous antibiotics, delay in processing insurance, patients’ unwillingness for early discharge, presence of drain, and surgeon’s perceived fear of complications. Conclusion: Sixty-five percent of all laparoscopic cholecystectomies can be performed as day care procedure safely. Patients with acute cholecystitis and patients requiring an operative time more than 104 minutes should be observed for 24 hours.","PeriodicalId":38741,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Laparoscopic Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43117861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and methods: We searched online libraries (PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar) for all publications published between January 1975 and December 2018 on our topic. We performed a systematic review and shared our experience with laparoscopy in a patient with shunt and ovarian cancer. Results: The age of the patients ranged from 1 to 79 years. The operations were performed by the departments of general surgery, gynecology, and urology. The time from the shunt operation to laparoscopy ranged from 5 days to 28 years. In different articles, four important points were considered and discussed: the risk of a shunt infection or complication, technical difficulties carrying out laparoscopy in patients with a VP shunt, the necessity of routine monitoring of the intracranial pressure (ICP) intraoperatively, and perioperative strategies to avoid complications. Conclusion: It seems that a laparoscopic surgery in adults with a VP shunt appears to be a safe option.

Complex pyogenic liver abscess is a multilocular abscess more than 5 cm in diameter. Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is mainly treated by percutaneous aspiration or drainage under antibiotic cover. Surgical drainage is indicated if interventional radiology fails, if ruptured, or if associated with biliary or intra-abdominal pathology. Laparoscopic drainage is a promising management option. Aim: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic drainage as a management of complex pyogenic liver abscesses in comparison to open surgical drainage. Materials and methods: Combined retrospective and prospective comparative study of 48 patients having complex PLA who were admitted to NHTMRI and managed by either laparoscopic drainage or open surgical drainage from January 2012 to January 2020 as regards results, complications, perioperative morbidity, mortality, and possible recurrence. Twenty-six patients were managed by open drainage, and 22 patients by laparoscopic drainage. Culture sensitivity of pus was done for all patients. Patients having small, solitary, and unilocular PLA that responded to antibiotic treatment or/and percutaneous drainage were excluded. All patients were subjected to full clinical assessment, laboratory investigations, ultrasonography, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance images for the abdomen and pelvis. Results: Forty-eight patients having complex PLA with a median age of 54.5 years were managed by either laparoscopic drainage (22 patients) or open surgical drainage (26 patients). The operation time and hospital stay were less, and oral feeding was started earlier in laparoscopic group. Wound infection was higher in open drainage group. Abscess recurrence occurred once in laparoscopic group and once in open surgery group, and both were successfully treated with percutaneous drainage. One laparoscopic operation was converted to open. Conclusion: Both laparoscopic and open surgical drainage of PLA are safe and effective. Laparoscopic drainage has less operative time, morbidity, and hospital stay; however, open drainage is considered the management of choice for patients with severe sepsis or failed percutaneous drainage.","PeriodicalId":38741,"journal":{"name":"World Journal of Laparoscopic Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42575434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
