Abstract

Major laparoscopic urologic procedures can be performed in infants weighing <10 kg with low morbidity and rapid recovery.

Comparación entre la cirugía videolaparoscópica y la cirugía abierta para las enfermedades renales benignas en el niño

“…Existe un gran número de series de casos publicados que han demostrado que la laparoscopia urológica es segura y eficaz en la población pediátrica 3,7 . Las principales ventajas que se han descrito sobre la cirugía laparoscópica son menos dolor postoperatorio, reducción del número de complicaciones en la herida, cicatriz mínima, estancia hospitalaria más breve y una rápida vuelta a las actividades normales, como alimentación, deposiciones y trabajo o escuela 10 .…”

“…Se han llevado a cabo muchas comparaciones entre la nefrectomía laparoscópica y la nefrectomía abierta en niños [7][8][9][10] ; sin embargo, no hay pruebas concretas de que una sea superior a la otra, aun cuando la técnica laparoscópica parece ser segura y aplicable en casi todos los casos pediátricos, con resultados ligeramente superiores.…”

Retroperitoneoskopische Nephrektomie bei einem Neugeborenen wegen Faktor-V-Leiden-Mutation und in utero vena cava inferior und Nierenvenenthrombose: erster Fallbericht

“…In 1992 Figenshau et al performed the initial pediatric laparoscopic nephroureterectomy [17], while the first pediatric laparoscopic partial nephrectomy with ureterectomy was described in 1993 by Jordan and Winslow [19]. With major advances in endoscopic instrumentation and technology the laparoscopic approach has evolved to a level where it challenges the standard open approach for nephrectomy and nephroureterectomy [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. More recently the retroperitoneoscopic approach to the kidney, which involves direct retroperitoneal access without entering the peritoneal cavity, appears to be increasingly popular with urologists interested in minimally invasive surgery.…”

Monitoring the Peace?: Northern Ireland's 1975 Ceasefire Incident Centres and the Politicisation of Sinn Féin

“…With the IRA however, the case can be made that such an approach misses the important point that the Provisional IRA were the leading arm of a 'deeply rooted working-class ethno-nationalist movement' 7 and therefore one that still had to be representative in at least some respects of the communities, members and organisers through which they operated. Adams (who had been specifically released so that he could participate) and in the course of these talks it was agreed that a so-called 'incident hotline' would be established at Laneside, the building used for discreet talks between a whole range of government officials and political, religious, community and paramilitary figures throughout this period.…”
