The reduction of the number of trocars is one of the ways to minimize the invasiveness of the surgical intervention. This video shows a cholecystectomy with a single site access, using a Gelport. This device was designed for hand-assisted surgery. Standard laparoscopic trocars are inserted through ...

Hiatal hernia is a common disorder of the digestive tract. Most patients are elderly and with significant co-morbidities. Historically, the surgical repair of paraesophageal hernias (PHH) has been advocated regardless of the presence of symptoms. In fact, despite patients being symptom-free, the ...
