Laparoscopic pyeloplasty can be performed via either a transperitoneal or retroperitoneal approach. The transperitoneal approach involves mobilizing the colon to access the retroperitoneum. Trocar placement is typically in a triangular configuration. The procedure involves dissecting the ureter and renal pelvis, transecting the UPJ, spatulating the ureter, placing a stent, and performing an anastomosis with absorbable sutures to create a tension-free repair. Variations include a transmesenteric approach and retroperitoneal approach via a flank position. Success rates of laparoscopic pyeloplasty match those of open surgery.

Laparoscopic Urologic surgery, is a part of the curriculum of Minimal Access Surgery, and requires lot of skills and patience. All new surgeons carrying out Basic Laparoscopic surgery should aim at also doing Lap. Urological surgeries, which has a steep learning curve, but with with excellent outcomes.
The surgical treatment of an injury or defect within the urethra's walls is known as urethroplasty. The three most frequent factors leading to urethral damage that needs to be repaired are trauma, iatrogenic injury, and infections. The gold standard treatment for urethral strictures is urethroplasty, which has a lower recurrence rate than dilatations and urethrotomies. Although recurrence rates are higher for this challenging treatment group, it is likely the only effective treatment option for chronic and severe strictures.
Urethroplasty is not regarded as a small procedure, taking three to eight hours on average in the operating room. Between 20% and 30% of urethroplasty patients may benefit from the ease of going under the knife for a shorter period of time and going home the same day. On average, hospital stays last two to three days. Seven to ten days may be needed for hospitalization for more complicated surgeries.
Fewer than ten percent of patients experience significant complications after urethroplasty, while complications, particularly recurrences, are more frequent in long and complex strictures.
this presentation deals with various types of endourology, upper urinary tract endoscopy, rigid and flexible endoscopy, lower urinary tract endoscopy, ureteroscopy, care and sterilization of instruments and endoscops. use as therapeutic and diagnostic modalities.

Peritoneal adhesions are a common cause of bowel obstruction, pelvic pain, and infertility. More often than not, these adhesions need to be released surgically for the management of these complications.
Minimal access surgery (MAS) a new surgical and
interventional approach, was called by different name and
one of the popular is minimally invasive surgery. However,
unique complications are associated with gaining access
to the abdomen for laparoscopic surgery. The technique
of first entry inside the human body with telescope and
instruments is called access technique. The hallmark of the
new approaches is the reduction in the trauma of access.
The technique for access to the peritoneal cavity, choice of
access technique, placement locations, and port placement
is very important in MAS. Technique of access is different for
different minimal access surgical procedures. Thoracoscopy,
retroperitoneoscopy, axilloscopy, and arthroscopy all have
different ways of access. In this chapter, we will discuss
various abdominal access techniques.
It is important to know that approximately 20% of
laparoscopic complications are caused at the time of initial
access. Developing access skill is one of the important
achievements for the surgeon practicing MAS. First entry or
access in laparoscopy is of two types: (1) closed access and
(2) open access.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

LAP PYELOPLASTY
1. BY : Dr. Ghanshyam Kumawat
Moderator : Dr Neeraj Agarwal (Associate prof...)
2. INTRODUCTION
Laparoscopicapproach to pyeloplastywas first introduced
in 1993 by Schuessler andcolleagues (Kavoussi and
Peters )
This has developed worldwide as aviable minimally
invasive alternative to open pyeloplasty .
Relativeto open pyeloplasty , laparoscopic pyeloplasty is
associated with greater technical complexityand a
steeper learning curve .
3. It Follows the similar surgical principlesof anatomic dissection
and repair used in open pyeloplasty.
In the hands of experienced laparoscopic surgeons, it has been
reported success rates matching those of open pyeloplasty
(≥90%).
The objective of the laparoscopic pyeloplasty
Provide a tension-free, watertight repair with a funnel-
shaped drainage to relieve clinicalsymptoms and to preserve
renalfunction.
4. INDICATIONS .
Presence of clinical symptoms of UPJO.
Progressive impairmentof renal function.
Developmentof ipsilateral upper tractcalculi or
infection .
Hypertension associated with UPJO.
6. Pre operative evaluation
Evaluation to confirm diagnosis of UPJO in an adequately
functioning kidney.
Various Radiological investigations
X –ray KUB.
USG abdomen.
DDIVP /Computed tomography (CT)scan .
Renal scan (MAG3/DTPA).
These radiological tests evaluate the severity of
obstruction, degree of hydronephrosis, renal pelvic size,
any associated stones the anatomical configuration of
the UPJ, crossing vessels, and differential renal function.
Urineroutineandculture
Evaluation for fitness for surgery
7. VARIOUS INSTUMENTS REQUIRED
1- Access imstruments
Veress needle:
Discovered by Hungarian physician janos veress in 1932
Disposable/nondisposable-70 to 120 mm, 14 guage and 2
mm outer diameter.
Max capacity 2 L/min
Itconsists of an outersharpcutting needleand inner blunt
spring-loaded obturator.
Hasson’scannula:
used forgaining initial access to theabdominal cavitywith
an open cut downtechnique.
9. Trocars:
Available in various diameters and sizes according
to requirements, 10 mm,12 mm and 5 mm being
commonly used.
Trocar consists of outer hollow sheath
(cannula/port) and inner obturator.
10. INSTRUMENTS FOR
VISUALISATION
Telescope:
This endoscope is made of surgical stainless steel
containing an optical lens train comprised ofprecisely
aligned glass lensesand spacers (Rod lens system).
Telescopes or laparoscopes come in various sizes
ranges from 2.7 mm to 10 mm with 0 or 30 degree
lenses (range, 0 to 45 degree ).
Recently devleoped laparoscopes has the tip which
can deflect in four directions up to 90 degree.
11. Light source:
White light illumination is provided from a high-
intensity xenon,mercury, or halogen lamp and
delivered via a fiberopticbundle.
12. Gas insufflation:
1.CO2 Insufflator: The creation of working space in the
abdominal cavity is generally done using CO2 delivered via an
automatic, high flow, pressure regulatedinsufflator.
CO2 iscurrently theagentof choicedue to low risk of gas
embolism,low toxicity to peritoneal tissues, rapid
reabsorption, low cost and inhibitscombustion.
The insufflatordelives gas at a flow rateof up to 20 liters /
min.
Presure maintained between 12 to 15 mm Hg.
13.
14. INSTRUMENT FOR DISSECTION
Maryland Dissector has long, curved jaws withfine-
tapered tips. Ideal for precise dissection (resembles
the atery forceps used in open surgeries).
15. There are a variety of scissors for dissecting, mobilizing and cutting
tissues, which include straight and curved types .
Hook scissors are used to cut sutures, tough fibrous tissues.
Most dissecting scissors have adapters fordiathermy.
Repeated use of diathermy at the sharp edge may tend to blunt
the scissors.
SCISSORS:
16. Ultrasonic Energy: (The Harmonicscalpel)
Uses ultrasonic technology, the unique energy form thatallows
bothcutting and coagulationat the precise point of impact,
resulting in minimal lateral thermal tissuedamage.
Cutsand coagulates byusing lowertemperatures than those
used byelectrosurgeryor lasers.
Coagulation occurs by means of proteindenaturation when the
blade, vibrating at 55,500 Hz, couples with protein, denaturing
it to form a coagulum that seals small vessels.
It offers greater precision in tight spaces near vital structures,
f ewer instrument changes are needed, less tissuecharring and
desiccationoccur, and visibility in the surgical field isimproved.
18. DIFFERENT PROCEDURES OF LAP
PYELOPLASTY
Anderson-hynes (most
commonly performed )
Foley v –y plasty
Culp-DeWeerd spiral
flap
Scardino –prince
vertical flap
Fenger pyeloplasty
Dismembered Non Dismembered
19. TYPES OF LAPAROSCOPIC TECHNIQUES FOR
PYELOPLASTY
Standard transperitoneal approach (including
transmesenteric).
Retroperitoneal approach.
Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS)approach.
Robotic-assisted approach.
For each approach, adismembered Anderson-Hynes
pyeloplasty is preferred by most surgeons.
20. TRANSPERITONEAL LAPAROSCOPIC
APPROACH
Was first described by Schuessler and colleagues
(1993)
( Kavoussi and Peters ).
Most widely used laparoscopic method owing to
its associated largeworking space and familiar
anatomy.
.
21. position
For transperitoneal procedures, including robotic-
assisted laparoscopy surgery and LESS, patients are
positioned in a 30- to 45-degree flank-upposition.
Care is taken to pad all pressure points to minimize
risk of nerve injury and reduce the incidence of
tissuebreakdown and rhabdomyolysis.
The patient is secured to theoperating table toallow
lateral tilting of thetable.
Tilting the tableaway from theaffected kidney
will help move bowel out of the operativefield.
There is no need to flex the tableorelevate the
kidney rest as there is with open surgery.
22.
23. Trocar placement
Access to the peritoneal cavity isobtained viaeither the
Veress needleor the Hasson access technique.
After creation of pneumoperitoneum Intraabdominal pressure
maintained between 12-15 mm Hg.
There are various configurations for trocar placement as per
surgeon “s choice
.
24. 1 - Conventional 3 midline trocar – 12-mm
trocar is placed in the midline, halfway
between the umbilicus andpubis.
This trocar is used for instrumentationand the
passage of sutures.
A 10/12-mm trocar is placed at the umbilicus for
camera manipulation
A5- or 10-mm port is inserted in the midline 2 cm
below the xiphoid process.
In obese patients, all trocarsites are shifted laterally.
Additional trocar for assistance may be placed at
level of at level of umblicus at anterior or mid
axillary line
25. Instead of midline
2 –Trigonal or rhomboidal arrangement of trocar can be
done.
One port 10 mm at umblicus for camera.
Two 5 mm port in mid clavicular line one at subcostal
level and another on the line joining between umblicus
and ASIS repctectively.
or
Two 5mm port with one subxephoid and another at
midclavicular line on the line joining between umblicus
and ASIS repctectively.
27. Colonic mobilisation from white line of toldt ,to
expose theretroperitoneal structures .
After medial mobilizationof thecolon, the ureter is
identified and dissected in the cephalad direction to
achieve mobilization of the ipsilateral proximal
ureter, UPJ, and renal pelvis.
STEPS OF PROCEDURE
28. Transection of UPJ and redundant pelvic excision after stay
suture placement
Spatulation of lateral end of ureter (1.5 -2 cm ) is done.
stent placement..
29. Posterior layer of ureteropelvic anastomosis is done followed
by anterior layer.
31. Extensivedissection of the ureterand excessive
electrocautery use in close proximity to the ureter
should be avoided to minimize injury to its vascular
supply.
At this time, the anatomy of the proximal ureter,
renal pelvis, and nearby vasculature are carefully
examined to determine the causeof the UPJO and the
appropriate typeof surgical repair
If crossing vessel is present , renal pelvisand proximal
ureterare then transposed to the opposite side of the
crossing vessel, and the ureteropelvic anastomosis is
then completed with intracorporeal suturing
techniques.
32. In the presence of redundant renal pelvis, reduction
pelvioplasty may be performed by excisingredundant renal
pelvic tissueand closing the pyelotomy.
.
Suturing can be Eithercontinuous running orsimple
interrupted sutures typically with 4-0 absorbable suture.
Aim: widely patent anastomosis ,the reconstructed UPJ
should be funnel shaped, watertight, tension free & with
dependent drainage.
A surgical drain is placed afterthecompletionof the
anastomosis, and one of the trocar sites is typically used as
thedrain exitsite.
33. TRANSMESENTERIC MODIFICATION OF THE
TRANSPERITONEAL APPROACH
In select cases(childrens and thin young adults with less
mesentric fat) it may be possible to omit the initial stepof
colonic mobilization to reveal the UPJ by instead carefully
opening the mesocolonic mesentery directly over the UPJ.
After incision of the mesentery, the UPJ is mobilizedand
reconstructed in the same fashion as the standard
retrocolicapproach.
To use the transmesenteric approach, the dilated renal
pelvis must be well visualized.
Advantages –less operative time
Disadvantage –damage to middle colic artery.
34. RETROPERITONEAL LAPAROSCOPIC APPROACH
The initial retroperitoneoscopic approach to
pyeloplasty was first reported byJanetschek and
and colleagues (1996).
In this method Cystoscopy withureteral stent
placement may be firstperformed so ureteric
identificatons becomes easy during intraoperatively
as (as gonadal vessel sometimes look like ureter ).
36. Patient Positioning and Trocar Placement
With this approach, patientsare placed in a full-flank
position.
Modest table flexion can help increase the distance between
the ribs and iliaccrest to facilitate trocar placement.
A 15-mm transverse incision is made below tip of 12th rib .
After the dissection is deepened downward through the
lumbodorsal fascia, the retroperitoneum is entered, and a
working space may be developed using blunt dissection with
the tip of a finger in the space between the psoas muscle and
the kidney.
37. A simple ballooncreated from two fingersof a size 8 or 9
glove may then be inserted and filled with CO2 or saline, or
alternatively, a purpose-built trocar with an integrated
balloon may be used to dissect the fat away from the
overlying musculature.
Instillation of 800 ml of air in the baloon will create adequate
space (400 ml is sufficient for childrens )
A Blunt Tip Trocar is then passed through the incision, and
the trocar cuff is expanded and cinched to the skin to prevent
leakage of CO2.
38. Entry into the retroperitoneum may be confirmed by the
appearance of the characteristic yellow retroperitoneal fat.
insufflation is initiated, and blunt dissection using only the
laparoscope is performed to develop a workingspace.
Caution must be used not to enter too anteriorly because
inadvertent peritoneal entry or colon injury mayoccur.
39.
40. Once the working space has been established secondary
ports are placed in following manner
one at anterior axillry line two to three finger breadths
above ASIS and another at lateral border of sacrospinalis
along inferior border of 12th rib.
The ureter is usually identified early in the procedure,
and the dissection, mobilization, and UPJ repair steps
are identical to those described for the transperitoneal
approach
Disadvantage –suturing is difficult due to crowding of
instruments
41. CONTD…
Post operative care
Prophylactic antibiotic coverage perioperatively.
Day 1: clear liquid diet.
Foleys catheter- 24-36 hours.
Surgical drain removal: @ discharge or 4-6 days.
If thedrain output increases afterthe Foleycatheterremoval, the
Foley catheter should be replaced for 7 days to eliminate urinary
reflux along the stent in the treated ureter and decrease urinary
extravasation at the ureteropelvicanastomosis
Stent removal : 4-6 weeks.
42. FLAP PROCEDURES
Foley Y-V Plasty
Indication
High insertion of ureter.
Contra indication
If lower pole vessels transposition is necessary or excision of
redundant pelvic is necessary.
Technique
Base of the V – toward kidney side of renal pelvis.
Apex – UPJ.
43. FOLEY Y-V PLASTY BASIC CONFIGURATION
UPJO With high
insertion of
ureter
44. CULP- DEWEERD SPIRAL FLAP
Indications
Large extra renal pelvis with dependent an ureteral insertion.
UPJ obstruction with long segment of proximal ureteral
narrowing.
Ratio of flap length width should not exceed 3:1.
Long areas of
proximal ureteral
obstruction
45. SCARDINO- PRINCE VERTICAL FLAP
Scardino- Prince vertical flap
Indication
Dependent UPJ with box shaped extra renal pelvis.
Dependent UPJ
situated at medial
margin of large box
shaped extra renal
pelvis
46. The mostwidely used robotic system in theclinical
setting today is thedaVinci Robotic System .
First robotic pyeloplasty in experimental setting
was performed by sung and gill (1999)
Gettman and colleagues( palese and mufrrij) in
2002 performed first robotic pyeloplasty on
humans.
Reported benefits of the robotic system include
enhanced 3D vision, motion scaling, tremorreduction,
improved dexterity, and increased range of motion.
Typically the procedure is performed in a
transperitoneal manner providing a largerworking
space for the roboticarms.
All steps are similar to lap pyeloplasty.
Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Approach
47. In both transperitoneal and retroperitoneal
approaches, at least fourtrocars are used in a robotic-
assisted procedure, including three for the robotic
arms (including one for the camera) and one for the
surgical assistant to perform suction, irrigation,
retraction, and sutureintroduction.
48.
49. LAPAROENDOSCOPIC SINGLE-SITE SURGERY APPROACH
LESS approach mayofferpatients improved cosmeticoutcomes
by decreasing the number of ports from three, four, or five to a
single periumbilical incision that is oftenhidden.
In LESS, all the instrumentsare inserted through a single
location.
This approach abandons the common laparoscopic principle of
triangulation of the ports and results in challenge of clashing of
instrumentsas theycompete forspace in a limited working area.
Although this approach increases the level of complexity in
performing the procedure, in experienced hands,complication
rates of LESS pyeloplasty are similar to those with other
minimally invasiveapproaches.
