    Notes: Summary The authors report their experience of laparoscopic repair of large paraoesophageal hernias (POH). From February 1994 to January 1997, nine patients with a large POH containing at least 50% of the stomach have been treated laparoscopically. The surgical procedure included reduction of the herniated stomach, closure of the hiatal orifice, and construction of a circular fundoplication. There was no conversion into open surgery. One case of postoperative atelectasis was seen (morbidity: 12.5%). Postoperative X-Ray demonstrated the restoration of a normal anatomical arrangements as well as an effective anti-reflux fundoplication. Laparoscopy makes it possible to safely and efficiently repair large POHs with an acceptable morbidity. However, this type of operation requires a good training in laparoscopic surgery.

    Notes: Abstract Artificial connective soft tissue, so-called “Elastin-Fibrin” biomaterial, was investigated to reinforce a pancreato-jejunum anastomosis in the dog. The ambiguous results invite us, however, to improve the quality of the material, especially against proteolytic degradation: elastinolysis and fibrinolysis. Antibiotic was also added. The improved material was tested, first in rabbit then in dog, to repair a large loss of substance in the duodenum, just in front of the Wirsung duct. In view of the successful results, we are now attempting an evaluation in humans, for all indications throughout the digestive system.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Née dans la plus grande discrétion en 1987, développée dans une atmosphère de scepticisme, voire d'hostilité, la cholécystectomie coelioscopique (CC) a triomphé dans les années 1989/90 et a été responsable d'une véritable révolution en chirurgie générale. Les 700 cas consécutifs rapportés ici reflètent bien l'esprit de ces différentes périodes. Partant d'une indication limitée par prudence, nous avons élargi nos indications pour inclure aujourd'hui 90% de nos cholécystectomies pour lithiase. La vésicule scléro-atrophique constitue encore un véritable challenge pour les manôeuvres endoscopiques. Seuls les chirurgiens les plus expérimentés doivent s'attaquer à ce type de pathologie. La mortalité (0.1%) et la morbidité (3%) sont tout à fait comparables voire meilleures que celles de certaines séries de cholécystectomie traditionelle. La qualité de la récupération est en rapport avec l'absence de douleur, la courte période d'hospitalisation, le retour à l'activité physique avec reprise rapide du travail et la préservation totale de la musculature abdominale pour les sportifs. Tous ces avantages sont malheureusêment perdus pour les 6% de patients pour lesquels une conversion en laparotomie traditionnelle est nécessaire au cours de l'acte coelioscopique. Les résultats des études multicentriques, menées dernièrement en France et en Belgique, comprenant 3708 cas, sont tout à fait semblables. La CC est en passe de devenir la technique de référence pour le traitement de la lithiâse vésiculaire. C'est un premier pas vers la chirurgie du 21ème siècle qui devrait avoir lieu entièrement à l'intérieur de l'enveloppe musculo-cutanée du corps humain laissée “intacte”.
    Abstract: Resumen Nacida silenciosamente en 1987, desarrollada en un atmósfera de escepticismo y de hostilidad hasta 1988, la colecistectomía laparoscópica vino a triunfar en 1988/90 y ha causado una verdadera revolución en el mundo de la cirugía general. Los 700 casos consecutivos que ahora informamos reflejan el espírtu de estos períodos. Partiendo de una posición de prudente restrición, nuestras indicaciones se han ampliado para incluir 90% de los casos de litiasis de la vesícula biliar. Las vesículas escleroatróficas constituyen el mayor desafío al manejo endoscópico, y este grupo de pacientes debe reservarse para los más expertos operadores. Las cifras de mortalidad (0.18%) y de complicaciones (3%) son comparables, o aún mejores, que las de la colecistectomía tradicional. La calidad de la recuperación es infinitamente superior: ausencia de dolor, hospitalización muy corta, retorno a la actividad normal dentro de los 10 primeros días, rápido retorno al trabajo, preservación total de la musculatura abdominal para personas que hacen deporte. Todas estas ventajas, que son patrimonio de la colecistectomía laparoscópica, no son aprovechables por el 6% de los pacientes en quienes se hace necesaria la conversión intraoperatoria a cirugía abierta; estos pacientes se recuperan en las mismas condiciones que después de una colecistectomía tradicional, que de todas maneras no son codiciones pobres. Los grandes estudios multicéntricos como los recientemente realizados en Francia y Bélgica sobre 3708 casos, han llegado a las mismas conclusiones. La colecistectomía laparoscópica está en vía de convertirse en el estándar de oro, en el patrón oro, del tratamiento para la colelitiasis, y representa el primer paso exitoso hacía las técnicas quirúrgicas del siglo XXI, que habrán de ser ejecutadas en el interior de la envoltura no abierta del cuerpo humano.
    Notes: Abstract Born in secret in 1987, developed in an atmosphere of skepticism and even hostility throughout 1988, the laparoscopic cholecystectomy triumphed in 1989–90 and caused a veritable revolution in the world of general surgery. The 700 consecutive cases that we report here reflect the spirit of these various periods. From prudently restrictive, our indications widened to include 90% of all patients with gallbladder lithiasis. Sclero-atrophic gallbladders constitute the greatest challenge for endoscopic maneuvers. This group of patients should be treated by the most experienced operators only. The figures for mortality (0.1%) and complications (3%) are very comparable and even better than those for traditional cholecystectomy. The quality of recovery is infinitely better; there is absence of pain, a short period of hospitalization, return to normal physical activity within 10 days, rapid return to work, and total preservation of the abdominal muscles for participation in sports activities. All these advantages are assets of the laparoscopic cholecystectomy which are not available to the 6% of patients for whom an intra-operative conversion to open surgery is necessary. These patients recover within the conditions of a traditional cholecystectomy which are far from being poor. The large multicenter studies, such as those carried out in France and Belgium recently involving 3,708 patients, arrive at identical conclusions. The laparoscopic cholecystectomy is on its way to becoming the gold standard of treatment for gallbladder lithiasis. It is the first successful step towards surgical techniques of the 21st century which will be carried out inside the musculo-cutaneous envelope of the unopened human body.

    Notes: Abstract Background: Common bile duct stones (CBDS) are a frequent problem (10–15%) in patients with symptomatic cholecystolithiasis. Over the last decade, new diagnostic and surgical techniques have expanded the options for their management. This report of the Consensus Development Conference is intended to summarize the current state of the art, including principal guidelines and an extensive review of the literature. Methods: An international panel of 12 experts met under the auspices of the European Association of Endoscopic Surgery (EAES) to investigate the diagnostic and therapeutic alternatives for gallstone disease. Prior to the conference, all the experts were asked to submit their arguments in the form of published results. All papers received were weighted according to their scientific quality and relevance. The preconsensus document compiled out of this correspondence was altered following a discussion of the external evidence made available by the panel members and presented at the public conference session. The personal experiences of the participants and other aspects of individualized therapy were also considered. Results: Our panel of experts agreed that the presence of common bile duct stones should be investigated in all patients with symptomatic cholecystolithiasis. Based on preoperative noninvasive diagnostics, either endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) or intraoperative cholangiography should be employed for detecting CBDS. Eight of the 12 panelists recommended treating any diagnosed CBDS. For patients with no other extenuating circumstances, several treatment options exist. Stones can be extracted during ERCP, or either before or (in exceptional cases) after laparoscopic or open surgery. Bile duct clearance should always be combined with cholecystectomy. Evidence for further special aspects of CBDS treatment is equivocal and drawn from nonrandomized trials only. Conclusions: The management of common bile duct stones is currently undergoing some major changes. Many diagnostic and therapeutic strategies need further study.

    Notes: Summary Surgical management of gallstones was first performed successfully in 1878. Over the past decade, several new treatment alternatives have evolved that challenge the supremacy of traditional surgical cholecystectomy. Two endoscopic alternatives, e.g., percutaneous cholecystolithotomy (PCCL) and laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) are the latest additions to the growing armamentarium. Our initial experience with PCCL and LC as compared with our traditional cholecystectomy experience shows a 57% reduction in hospital days, a 58% reduction in postoperative analgesic dose, and 50% or more reduction in disabling convalescence in favor of the endoscopic alternatives. A review of the efficacy and morbidity of traditional surgery, peroral drug chemolysis (PDC), shockwave lithotripsy plus PDC, and percutaneous trans-hepatic lavage with methyl terbutyl ether suggests that the endoscopic alternatives are less morbid than traditional surgery and more efficacious and perhaps less morbid than other non-invasive or minimally invasive alternatives. Both original data and a literature review are presented.

    Notes: Summary The authors describe their own technique for the treatment of gallbladder stones using a laparoscopic approach. They first evacuate the stones with the aid of an intracorporal ultrasonic lithotriptor (Olympus, LTUS). Next they perform a cholecystostomy (17 cases) or a cholecystectomy (25 cases). The first 42 cases are reported, and the results have been good.

    Notes: Summary Between September 1990 and September 1991 laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) was performed in 310 patients with symptomatic cholelithiasis by using a four-cannula technique. Of this group, 282 were normal or overweight (group A) and 28 were obese (group B) according to classification using the Body Mass Index. Forty-one patients had cholecystitis of varying degree. There were no deaths in this series. The conversion rate to laparotomy was 2.9% and the morbidity was 5.4%. There was no statistical difference between groups A and B in relation to the length of procedure, conversion rate, or morbidity. This small series suggests that laparoscopic access is still feasible, if at times difficult, in obese patients. Specific surgical techniques concerning instrument length and cannula placement that may be useful in obese patients are described

    Notes: Summary During 1991, 41 surgeons of the French Society of Endoscopic Surgery and Operative Radiology (SFCERO) performed 3,673 cholecystectome of which 2,955 were laparoscopic. Data for those patients in whom a conversion to laparotomy was necessary or a complication occurred were collected by a retrospective multicenter survey. Conversion was performed in 142 patients (4.8%): in 106 this was due to pathology in the subhepatic space; in 36 it was because of a complication related to the laparoscopy. There were 101 postoperative complications (morbidity 3.4%): 59 biliary and 42 non biliary complications and six deaths (mortality 0.2%). There were 18 bile duct injuries, one of which led to the death of the patient. Excluding conversions to laparotomy, these figures are comparable to those for open cholecystectomy. These results define the limits and advantages of laparoscopic cholecytectomy. Conversion to laparotomy remains a wise option in cases of technical difficulty or doubtful biliary anatomy.
