What are the benefits of performing a cholecystectomy through a 20mm umbilical port that might increase the risk of abdominal wall complications? Will it be possible to reduce the size of the instruments and scopes to make them suitable for a smaller umbilical port? What role have flexible scopes with operative channels and endoscopic instruments?

Why do the current guidelines recommend that screening be only performed for men? Will the estimated number of approximately 4.5 million people in the developed world who are living with an abdominal aortic aneurysm benefit from screening efforts? How many AAA patients will be added each year to the 600,000 new cases that are diagnosed […]

Does the food go on the inside of the endobarrier device with the digestive enzymes on the outside of the device? Does the endobarrier device modify metabolic pathways and prevent the mixing of food and digestive enzymes? Does the EndoBarrier stenting device migrate without safe and secure proximal fixation with T fasteners?

Background: Stent graft migration following endovascular aneurysm repair has been reported with all currently available devices and can result in type I endoleaks and aneurysm rupture. Standard surgical anastamosis with suturing through the adventia requires a significantly greater force to disrupt compared to any current proximal endovascular device fixation. The […]
