Laparoscopic appendectomy considered as superior alternative to open appendectomy. Usual laparoscopic appendectomy is performed with the three port system. In this study, we performed a unique single transumblical incision two-port laparoscopic assisted appendectomy with the aim to reduce postoperative port site complication as well as improving cosmesis and patients satisfaction. From January 2010, 32 patients were admitted with clinically diagnosed acute appendicitis and were randomly assigned to single transumblical incision two-port laparoscopic assisted appendectomy. Transumblical single incision two-port laparoscopic assisted appendectomy was attempted in all patients (9 males and 23 females) with an average age of 9.2 years. Transumblical single incision two-port laparoscopic assisted appendectomy was successfully completed in 31 patients. In one patient, another additional port required due to severe adhesion of the appendix. Mean operation time was 25.2 minutes (range, 17-38), and mean postoperative hospital stay was 1.Sdays (range 1-2). Postoperative complications (local pericaecal abscess) occurred in one case that was treated conservatively. Transumblical single incision two-port laparoscopic assisted appendectomy appears to be a feasible and safe technique for the treatment of acute appendicitis in the paediatric setting. It allows nearly scar less abdominal surgery. The true benefit of the technique should be assessed by randomized controlled trials.TAJ 2009; 22(1): 289-294

This chapter describes the necessary steps to perform single port laparoscopic hysterectomy. This surgical approach is an innovative method to offer all of the benefits of multi-port laparoscopy through one single incision usually in and around the umbilicus. Using core surgical principles and instruments available for single port surgery external triangulation and full range of motion can be maintained to achieve the required internal manipulation of instruments and tissue dissection. All single port surgeries require a specialized port used along with an angled or flexible laparoscope for visualization. Traditional laparoscopic instruments may be used for the surgical dissection and completion of the procedure.

Multiple shunt failure is a challenge in pediatric neurosurgery practice and one of the most feared complications of hydrocephalus. Objective: To demonstrate that laparoscopic procedures for distal ventriculoperitoneal shunt failure may be an effective option for patients who underwent multiple revisions due to repetitive manipulation of the peritoneal cavity, abdominal pseudocyst, peritonitis or other situations leading to a “non reliable” peritoneum. Method: From March 2012 to February 2013, the authors reviewed retrospectively the charts of six patients born and followed up at our institution, which presented with previous intra-peritoneal complications and underwent ventriculoperitoneal shunt revision assisted by video laparoscopy. Results: After a mean follow-up period of nine months, all patients are well and no further shunt failure was identified so far. Conclusion: Laparoscopy assisted shunt revision in children may be, in selected cases, an effective option for patients with multiple peritoneal complications due to ventriculo-peritoneal shunting.
