Indocyanine green (ICG) in liver surgery.pptxGian Luca Grazi
The use of indocyanine green has now become common practice during liver and biliary tract surgery. This dye helps in defining the anatomy of the liver segments and is able to provide data on the course of the biliary tract. Furthermore, it can detect the presence of small superficial tumors, increasing the cure potential of liver resections in the treatment of liver tumors.
This reading reviews the main uses of indocyanine green in liver surgery, in particular for laparoscopic and robotic surgery, and opens a window on the future clinical developments of indocyanine green in the treatment of liver tumors.

Difficult Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy-When and Where is the Need to Convert?Apollo Hospitals
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has now become the treatment of choice for the gall bladder stone. With increasing experience, surgeon has started to take more difficult cases which were considered relative contra indications for laparoscopic removal of gall bladder few years back.
We conducted this study at our hospital and included all laparoscopic cholecystectomy done from May'08 to January'10. Total time taken in surgery, conversion rate and complication rate were analysed. Factors making laparoscopic cholecystectomy difficult were also analysed. We defined difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy when we found -dense fibrotic adhesions in and around Callot's triangle, gangrenous gall bladder, empyma, large stone impacted at gall bladder neck, contracted gall bladder, Mirrizi's syndrome, h/o biliary pancreatitis, CBD stones, acute cholecystitis of <72 hrs duration.
Out of 206 cases done during above period, 56 cases were considered difficult. Only two cases were converted to open.
With growing experience and technical advancement surgery can be completed in most of the difficult cases. This is important because recently it is shown in literature that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is associated with less morbidity than open method irrespective of duration of the surgery.

Dear viewers,
• Greetings from “Surgical Educator”
• Because of the popular demand by viewers of the YouTube channel “Surgical Educator”, I have decided to create and upload videos on common surgeries.
• In this video today, I have discussed Open Right Hemicolectomy .
• However, these videos are not real surgeries but the theoretical aspect of operative surgery like going through an atlas of operative surgery.
• Along with these videos, I recommend you to watch real operative surgery videos as well and I will give a link for each surgery in the end of the video as end-cards, which I think will be very useful.
• This will give a very good opportunity for the surgical trainees to mentally rehearse various surgical steps in a sequential manner prior to actual surgery. You can watch all my teaching videos in the following link:

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics

Editor's Notes
Treatment of achalasia has always been palliative and has been directed solely at the muscular anatomy of the LES rather than the underlying neuromuscular disorder
So far, treatments including Botox injection and balloon dilation have been commonly performed as first-line endoscopic treatments for achalasia [2,3]. If those are ineffective, laparoscopic procedures are generally selected as the next step [4]. Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) has been developed as a further endoscopic treatment that is effective and less invasive
In the European achalasia trial, LHM and graded PBD were equal in efficacy at 2 and 5 years follow-up. However, a quarter of patients in the PBD group required additional dilatations 5. Therefore, it appears that the response to PBD is less durable than that for LHM and reintervention requirement is frequent
The concept of natural orifice transluminal endo- scopic surgery (NOTES) [1] has inspired endoscopists and endoscopic surgeons to create less invasive treatment even for esophageal achalasia and approach myotomy from the 3rd space (new frontier)
The intent of an endoscopic myotomy began in the 1980’s when Ortega et al. (12), motivated to avoid thoracotomy for open Heller myotomy and the complications of forceful pneumatic dilation began experimental work using a customized electrosurgical knife to perform an endoscopic transmucosal myotomy on dogs. They then expanded upon that initial work applying the same technique on seventeen humans with achalasia
Endoscopic myotomy was then reported by Pasricha et al. in a porcine model – developed mucosal flap valve and submucosal space
The first human clinical application of third-space endoscopy was described in 2010 in a report from Japan, wherein Inoue et al demonstrated that one could safely enter the potential submucosal space and perform an esophageal myotomy in patients with achalasia cardia.
Following Inoue report, POEM was rapidly embraced, becom- ing the primary form of treatment in many centers.
The available evidence suggests excellent short- and mid-term results with E-POEM in treatment-naive cases of achalasia.4,6,7 However, the data are limited regard- ing the long-term efficacy of E-POEM.8-10 In 2 studies evaluating long-term response, the clinical success at 5-year follow-up was 83% and 87.1%, respectively.8,9

In comparison to LHM with or without fundoplication, POEM has demonstrated similar outcomes in relieving dysphagia as evidenced by the similar decreases in Eckardt score and LES pressures when compared to LMH
Utilizing 10 mg of PO morphine as our control and an equianalgesic table, we demonstrated the LHM group required an average of 115 mg of pain medication and the POEM group needed 25.83 mg of narcotic pain during their hospital stay.
Clinical response was significantly more frequent in the POEM cohort (98.0 % vs 80.8 %; P = 0.01). POEM patients had significantly shorter mean procedure time than LHM patients (102 min vs 264 min; P < 0.01) despite longer length of myotomy (16 cm vs 8 cm; P < 0.01). There was no significant difference between POEM and LHM in the length of hospital stay (3.3 days vs 3.2 days; P = 0.68), respectively. Rate of adverse events was significantly less in the POEM group (6 % vs 27 %; P < 0.01).
Completeness of the myotomy confirmed when the sphincter easily opens with gentle insufflation
Endoflip: more objective method is to assess the LES and sess of completeness of myotomy.
This device measures the compliance of the tissue it opposes and

pneumomediastinum, pneumoperitoneum, and subcutaneous emphysema as common post-operative findings (33). Many of these issues are minimized with the use of carbon dioxide insufflation, which allows for quicker dissipation of excess gas (34)
The treatment of achalasia is a balance between the relief symptoms particularly dysphagia and the development of complications particularly GERD.
One of the major concerns as POEM was introduced was the fact that there was no partial fundoplication to provide some evidence of a reflux barrier.
It was argued that by leaving the native esophageal hiatus intact and only dividing the inner circular muscle that this might limit the degree of reflux
The development of reflux and PPI use does not appear to be significantly different between LHM and POEM (46,48). However, these series have small numbers and these outcomes may change when larger studies are conducted.
BHAYANI: Postoperative esophageal acid expo- sure is the same for both
A recent meta-analysis concluded that there was a trend toward a significant reduction in the development of symptomatic GERD with LHM (50). The larger concern are that many patients do not perceive reflux symptoms yet have positive objective pH scores and reflux esophagitis. Because of this, we believe it is imperative to evaluate all patients post myotomy with pH testing to confirm a
diagnosis of GERD (48)
Potential adjunct endoscopic therapies to prevent reflux following POEM include transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) and radiofrequency ablation to theLES with the Stretta procedure
TIF and Stretta both offer 3. less invasive options to replace surgical fundoplication,have fewer adverse effects and do not limit future treatment options.
TIF procedure repairs the anti-reflux barrier through creation of a valve 2 to 4 cm in length with a 270degree or greater circumferential wrap endoscopically (17).Stretta utilizes radiofrequency ablation to the LES to create 5. thermal lesions below the mucosa at the gastroesophageal junction and restore a reflux barrier
POEM is safe and equally effective for treatment-naïve patients and for those in whom prior treatment has failed. Emerging data suggest that E-POEM is equally effective in treatment-failure cases with achalasia.11-15 In a large study that included 502 patients, clinical success at 3 years was 87.1% and 76.3% in treatment-naive and treatment- failure cases, respectively.
POEM should be considered the treatment of choice in patients in whom prior treatment has failed.
