Reoperation following Minimally Invasive Surgery: Are the “Rules” Different?

Abstract: This article discusses various indications for reoperation and how employing laparoscopy at primary operation might affect the incidence, presentation, and treatment of common complications. The abdomen is likely to be far less hostile after laparoscopic surgery than after laparotomy. Adhesions to the anterior abdominal wall are minimal or absent. As a result, relaparoscopy is a reasonable diagnostic and often successful treatment modality in patients suspected of having intra-abdominal complications following… Show more

“…Intraoperative localization of the source of bleeding can be challenging. Careful peritoneal lavage to remove blood and clots, and accurate examination of the trocar sites and the raw surfaces of dissection (commonly the retroperitoneum or pelvis) are required [ 51 ]. The combined use of different devices to achieve hemostasis may be useful.…”

“…5 Laparoscopic reoperation is feasible for the treatment of many complications following major laparoscopic abdominal surgery. 6 However, there is no report about the role of repeat single incision laparoscopic surgery (R-SILS). In this study, the purpose was to evaluate the feasibility of R-SILS.…”
