| The
Trocar, Online Videojournal of Gynecologic and Surgical Endoscopy |
Is a paper intending to
fully exploit the Internet's resources in the field of scientific diffusion. It
is our opinion that an On-line Journal devoted to such a still expanding branch
of surgery as laparoscopy may "take advantage of" the Internet better than any
traditional paper.
Thanks to the web resources, the published articles may
be furnished with photographs and videos which may better explain or point out
anatomical aspects, new technique and surgical procedures possibly described.
All the same, each article will be selected on the basis of the same scientific
strictness and thorough statistical analysis as traditional papers. |

| ROLE OF LAPAROSCOPY TO ASSESS THE CHANCE OF OPTIMAL CYTOREDUCTIVE SURGERY IN ADVANCED OVARIAN CANCER
|
 |
Primary cytoreduction followed by platinum-taxanes based chemotherapy is currently the standard of care for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (Ozols 2000). Residual disease after surgery is one of the most important prognostic factors for these patients (Bristow 2002). Reports have demonstrated that accomplish excision of all visible disease yield better survival than leaving small amounts (1-2 cm) of residual neoplasm (Ball 1994; Hoskins 1992; Eisenkop 1998).

| Role of Laparoscopic Tubal Recanalisation in modern era of ART
|
 |
First microsurgical reversal of the sterilization was done by Gomel & Winston in 1977.
Around 25-30% of the subfertile females have tubal damage and quite a few of them seek tubal micro-reconstruction for fertility enhancement, also those with tubal sterilization procedure seeking reversal for further child bearing are better candidates. This can now be achieved with principles of laparoscopic microsurgery.

| Laparoscopic Excision of Deep Fibrotic Endometriosis of the Cul-de-sac and Rectum
|
 |
Diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis is the most frequent reason for gynecologic operative laparoscopy in the United States (Peterson et al,1990). Therefore, the laparoscopist must be thoroughly familiar with the current standards of diagnosis and management of this complex disease. The most common presentations of endometriosis include pelvic pain, infertility, and adnexal mass...

Study objective: To study times and conditions of the vascular repair of the uterine "scar" after laparoscopic and laparotomic myomectomy by means of transvaginal Color- Doppler ultrasonography. To check for defective healing along the uterine scar in the immediate post-operative period.

| OVERCAMING TECHNICAL LIMITS TO LAPAROSCOPIC HYSTERECTOMY
|
 |
The first laparoscopic hysterectomy was performed in 1989 by Henry Reich.
Nowadays the laparoscopic hysterectomy for a uterus up to 300 grams, without other pathologies that could limit its mobility or without a poor vaginal access, has to be considered a basic well standardized procedure.

| The importance of Visual Port Insertion During Laparoscopy
|
 |
Patient safety is finally being institutionalized due to growing concern over the terrible cost of inadvertent human error. Medicine's punitive perfectibility model in dealing with unintended injury is slowly evolving to accept error during surgery, as an inevitable yet manageable reality of operations (Leap, 1994).

The development of surgery in the field of oncology is currently distinguished by the effort to decrease the aggressiveness and the morbidity of surgical treatment without lowering the chances of survival. The application of laparoscopy in the field of gynecologic oncology is not only a way to achieve these goals but also to improve the surgical staging of gynecologic malignancies.
