Laparoscopic gastric and duodenal operations - Slovakia Up to Date

MUDr. Rastislav Johanes

Endoskopie 2009; 18(1): 12-16  

In 2004, forty-five bariatric surgeries were performed in Slovakia. Three other laparoscopic gastric surgeries were done in the same year, namely partial wedge resections for benign tumours. Also performed were 70 suture repairs of perforated gastroduodenal ulcers in that year. In 2007, a total of 875 operations on the stomach and duodenum (without suturing of perforated ulcer) were performed in Slovakia. Out of these, 40 were done laparoscopically, which constitutes 4.6 %.

daVinci robotic radical prostatectomy - our current technique and results

MUDr. Ivan Kolombo FEBU

Endoskopie 2009; 18(1): 28-36  

daVinci robotic radical prostatectomy is the most common urologic procedure in our Centre of robotic surgery in Hospital Na Homolce Prague. We describe our current technique and evaluate our early experience with this novel robot-assisted laparoscopic technique for radical prostatectomy that has been performed in patients with prostate cancer and with intent of curative treatment. The daVinci robotic system makes it easier to move from open to laparoscopic technique. Minimally invasive robotic assisted technique enables to limit the morbidity of open radical prostatectomy with shorter convalescence and safety for patients and shorter learning curve...

How it was ? Digestive endoscopy in the second half of 20th century

prof. MUDr. Přemysl Frič DrSc

Endoskopie 2009; 18(1): 37-40  

Explosive development of imaging methods in the second half of 20th century profoundly influenced the contents of gastroenterology. Digestive endoscopy gained a leading position during this time period. The achievements of technical disciplines enabled to introduce new endoscopic approaches (fiberscopy, videoendscopy, capsule endoscopy, endosonography) and consequently a series of new diagnostic and therapeutic methods. The future of digestive endoscopy is bright. Its development will again depend on suitable applications of technical discoveries. This is a never-ending task.
