[Planned laparoscopic procedures in clinical practice].

Several recent randomized studies have proved that laparoscopic technique is feasible, safe and has been associated with better cosmetics, less pain, faster recovery, lower incidence of infectious complications, and shorter postoperative stay. However, these advantages are not substantial for patients with malignant diseases. New published randomized trials (laparoscopic gastrectomy, colectomy, nephrectomy) have proved that long-term survival data did not show any detrimental effect of laparoscopy in comparison with historic studies of open resections.

[Laparoscopic rectopexis].

INTRODUCTION: Rektopexis is an effective treatment method of rectal prolapses. Our retrospective study assessed the laparoscopic rectopexis results. METHODOLOGY: From 01-01-2003 to 31-11-2005, 10 patients were indicated for the procedure of laparoscopic retropexis. A "Vypro" mesh (Johnson&Johnson) was used to suspend the rectum. We fix it to the sacrum and to the rectum with an anchor (Eanchr, Johnson&Johnson). The follow-up examinations were conducted 2-30 months after the procedure. We assessed mortality rates, morbidity rates, the prolaps relapses incidence rates, obstipation incidence rates. RESULTS: The laparoscopic procedure was completed in 9 patients. In one case, we converted. The mortality and serious postoperative morbidity rate was 0%. The mean duration of hospitalization was 7 days. During the follow-up, no patient relapsed. One female patient complained of mild postoperative obstipation, which, however, did not require surgical revision. CONCLUSION: Laparoscopic rectopexis is a modern, safe and effective method of the prolaps of the rectum treatment.

[Endoscopic transgastric drainage of a pancreatic pseudocyst--a cause of late perforation of the intestine].

The authors present a case-review of a polymorbid patient, who underwent repetitive endoscopic transgastric drainage of the pancreatic pseudocyst in chronic pancreatitis. 3 months after the stents were released, the terminal ileus perforated. Ileocaecal resection was then completed. Further postoperative course was uncomplicated and the patient's current clinical condition is good.

[Laparoscopic distal resection of the pancreas].

During the last two years, reports on laparoscopic procedures of the pancreas have been on increase. Laparoscopic resection of the pancreatic cauda is indicated, primarily, for benign cystic lesions of the cauda of the pancreas and for neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas (mainly insulinomas). We have not recorded any report on the above procedure in the Czech literature. Therefore, in our case review, we have described laparoscopic distal resection of the pancreas with splenectomy for a pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas.
