Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy PCNL by Dr. Majid Kakakhel IKD, Peshawar.Majid Khan Kakakhel
The document describes the procedure and techniques for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). PCNL is used to remove kidney stones through a small incision in the skin and involves four main steps: 1) opacification of the collecting system, 2) puncture of the system, 3) dilation of the tract, and 4) stone fragmentation and removal. Key techniques for puncture include the bull's eye, triangulation, and gradual descent methods. Potential complications include hemorrhage, injury to surrounding organs, failed access, pneumothorax, and sepsis. The document outlines the indications, positioning, surgical approach, and complications of PCNL.
Robotic surgery uses robotic systems to assist surgeons with complex procedures. Some key points:
- Early systems included ROBODOC in 1985 for hip replacements and AESOP in 1994 for positioning the endoscope. The Da Vinci system, introduced in 2000, is now the most widely used system.
- Systems can be tele-surgical like Da Vinci where the surgeon controls the robot remotely, shared-control where the robot provides feedback, or supervisory where the robot executes pre-planned motions autonomously under surgeon oversight.
- The Da Vinci system allows the surgeon to sit at a console several feet from the patient with magnified 3D HD vision and wristed instruments that mimic hand movements with

This document discusses laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR). It describes the surgical technique for LVHR, including accessing the abdominal cavity through ports, adhesiolysis, measuring and placing the mesh, and fixing it in place. Proper port placement and handling of meshes like Physiomesh and Proceed are emphasized to minimize infection risk. Wide mesh overlap and transfascial sutures are recommended to prevent mesh migration. Fixation techniques like double crowning help reduce seroma formation. Post-operative port site hernias are also mentioned.
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) carries risks of several access-related complications. Prevention involves ensuring sterile urine, adequate imaging for access planning, and backup equipment. Initial puncture can lead to hemorrhage, arterial or venous puncture, or injury to surrounding structures. Bleeding is typically controlled with tamponade but may require angioembolization. Delayed hemorrhage can also occur from arteriovenous fistulas or pseudoaneurysms. Careful patient selection, access planning and technique can minimize complication risks.
This document discusses flexible ureterorenoscopy (RIRS) for treating conditions of the kidney and urinary tract. RIRS uses flexible instruments introduced through the ureter to access the kidney in a minimally invasive manner.

This is mostly used for gynaecological surgeries and repairing the cardiac valves.
The document discusses the history and development of robotic surgery. It describes how the first robotic surgery device, the PUMA 560, was used in 1985 for brain biopsies. Later systems like PROBOT and ROBODOC were developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The da Vinci surgical system was approved by the FDA in 2000 and is now commonly used for procedures like prostatectomies and cardiac/gynecological surgeries. The da Vinci allows surgeons to operate remotely through small incisions while magnifying their hand movements. Robotic surgery provides benefits like shorter recovery times but drawbacks include the high costs of equipment and training. New innovations continue to advance the field.
Robotic surgery originated in the 1980s with early conceptions of telepresence surgery using robotic arms controlled by surgeons. The first robot used for surgery was the Puma 560 for neurosurgical biopsies. The Da Vinci system, introduced by Intuitive Surgical, performed the first telesurgical laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 1997. The Da Vinci system allows surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures with improved 3D visualization, dexterity, precision, and ergonomics compared to traditional laparoscopy. Robotic surgery has been used for a wide variety of procedures in fields such as general surgery, urology, gynecology and cardiac surgery.
Robotic surgery uses robotic arms controlled by a surgeon to perform surgery through small incisions. This allows 10x magnified high-definition 3D views and instruments with movements beyond what the human hand can do, increasing precision. The Da Vinci and Zeus systems are examples used for cardiac, gastrointestinal, gynecological and other procedures. Benefits include less scarring, faster recovery and shorter hospital stays, while disadvantages include safety questions and high costs compared to traditional surgery.
This document discusses capsule endoscopy, a medical procedure where patients swallow a pill-sized capsule containing a camera. The capsule passes naturally through the digestive tract, taking over 2,600 images which are transmitted to a recorder. This allows physicians to noninvasively examine the entire small intestine. The technology has advanced from basic endoscopy in the 1960s to now include capsule cameras, which provide benefits over traditional endoscopy like viewing the entire GI tract and earlier cancer detection. The capsule uses ultra-low power wireless transmission of images to help diagnose conditions like bleeding, Crohn's disease, and small bowel tumors.
Robotic surgery involves a surgeon remotely controlling robotic surgical instruments to perform operations. The surgeon views the procedure using a control console while the robotic arms mimic the surgeon's hand movements. Some key advantages of robotic surgery include less pain and scarring for patients due to smaller incisions, faster recovery times, and improved dexterity over traditional laparoscopic techniques. However, higher costs remain a concern for widespread adoption of robotic surgery systems. Major systems include da Vinci and Zeus, which are used in various specialty areas like cardiac surgery and urology. Further research is still needed to fully evaluate robotic surgery's cost-effectiveness compared to conventional methods.

Ureteric injury during gynaecological surgerySantosh Agrawal
This document discusses ureteric injuries that can occur during hysterectomy and how they are detected and treated. It notes that the overall incidence of ureteric injury during hysterectomy is 0.4% and risk factors include previous surgery, endometriosis, and dense adhesions. Common sites of injury are where the ureter crosses the uterine artery and in the tunnel of Wertheim. Injuries can be detected by checking for urine efflux during cystoscopy and using retrograde pyelography to visualize the ureters with dye. Prevention involves thorough knowledge of pelvic anatomy, ligation techniques to avoid the ureters, and identifying the ureters before ligating other structures in complex

Prostate - Clinical Anatomy as applied to Prostate CancerSantosh Agrawal
The document discusses the impact of anatomy on prostate cancer surgery. It traces the history and development of radical prostatectomy from its origins in the early 1900s to improvements allowing for nerve-sparing techniques. A key figure, Patrick Walsh, discovered the neurovascular bundle, which was an important anatomical finding that enabled surgeons to better preserve potency during radical prostatectomy. Understanding the detailed arterial, venous, lymphatic, and continence anatomy of the prostate and surrounding areas has been crucial to improving outcomes of radical prostatectomy over time.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
