  2. 1. Gas Embolism in Laparoscopic Liver Surgery

    Author : Diddi Fors; Sten Rubertsson; Dag Arvidsson; Tor Inge Tønnessen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gas embolism; laparoscopic liver; CVP; PEEP; high frequency jet ventilation; cardiopulmonary physiology; carbon dioxide; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care; Anestesiologi och intensivvård;

    Abstract : Laparoscopic liver surgery is complicated due to the structure of this organ with open sinusoids. A serious disadvantage is the risk of gas embolism (GE) due to CO2 pneumoperitoneum. CO2 can enter the vascular system through a wounded vein. A common opinion is that gas fluxes along a pressure gradient, e. READ MORE

  4. 2. Evaluation of surgical methods for treatment of female stress urinary incontinence

    Abstract : Aims: Paper I & II: To compare the subjective and objective results of open Burch colposuspension and laparoscopic colposuspension using sutures or mesh and staples in randomised trials. Paper III: To assess the short and long term results of the Tension-free Vaginal Tape (TVT)-procedure in a large observational study and to identify factors predictive of successful outcome.

  5. 3. Peritoneal fibrinolysis during pneumoperitoneum and laparoscopic surgery

    Author : Maria Bergström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Laparoscopy; Fibrinolysis; Peritoneum; Mesothelial cells; Carbon Dioxide; Helium;

    Abstract : BACKGROUND Laparoscopic surgery is believed to induce less postoperative adhesion formation compared with open procedures, but information regarding biological impact of a laparoscopic approach is limited. MATERIAL & METHODS Peritoneal response to laparoscopic surgery was assessed in human peritoneal tissue in two clinical trials (paper I & V). READ MORE

  6. 4. Laparoscopic surgery as treatment for rectal cancer

    Author : John Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []

    Abstract : Introduction Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide, with nearly 1.4 million new cases annually, of which about one third suffer from rectal cancer. Laparoscopic surgery has in several surgical fields shown faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, and less pain than open surgery. READ MORE

  7. 5. A Laparoscopic Approach in Gastro-Oesophageal Surgery : Experimental and Epidemiological Studies

    Abstract : The extension of laparoscopic procedures into the chest may induce specific pathophysiologic effects.In pigs, we have demonstrated how devastating a combined thoraco-laparoscopic approach can be for gas exchange. Furthermore, the transmission of elevated pressure intra-cranially is a potential danger. READ MORE
