Definition
• Modern technologyand surgical innovation that aims to accomplish surgical therapeutic
goals with minimum somatic and psychological trauma.
• Reduced wound access trauma
• Less disfiguring
• Cost effective
4.
History
• 1st experimentallaparoscopic procedure:- Kelling in 1901.
• 1st
thoracoscopy:- Jacobeus in 1910 ( cystoscope).
•
• Steptoe:- laparoscopy for treatment of infertility.
•
• Mouret :- 1st
video-laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 1987.
5.
Minimal Access Approaches
•Laparoscopy
• Thoracoscopy
• Single incision minimal access surgery
• Endoluminal endoscopy and natural orifice surgery(NOTES)
• Perivisceral endoscopy
• Arthroscopy and intra-articular joint surgery
• Hybrid minimal access surgery
6.
LAPAROSCOPY
• Rigid endoscopeis introduced through port into peritoneal cavity
• Pneumoperitoneum created
- position : supine with arms by side , trendelenburg or reverse
trendelenburg
-site : infra or supraumbilical region
-types : open and closed methods
CLOSED ( Veress needle technique) : insert veress needle into peritoneal cavity and
confirm placement by saline drop test or pressure reading
OPEN (Hasson technique) : blunt trocar inserted under direct vision after giving
incision
Target pressure : 12 to 15mmhg ( 8 to 10 mmhg in case of high risk or
cardiopulmonary pateients)
8.
Gases used :
•Carbon dioxide : most common , non inflammable, highly soluble in blood ( low risk
of emboli)
- may cause respiratory acidosis, hypercapnia, bradycardia ( vagal
response)
•Nitrous oxide : supports gas combustion,gas emboli
•Room air : poorly absorbed, gas emboli
•Oxygen : highly flammable , never used for insuffulation
•Helium : non inflammable but poor solubility thereby more chances of emboli
COMPLICATIONS : injury( to bowel,bladder,blood vessels), gas emboli,sub cutaneous
emphysema,preperitoneal insuffulation
10.
THORACOSCOPY
•Rigid endoscope introducedthrough incision between ribs to gain
access to thorax.
•In general no gas suffulation as operating space held rigid by thoracic
cavity
•Specific cases like mediastinal tumor resection and diaphragmatic
surgeries (5-8mmhg)
12.
SINGLE INCISION MINIMALACCESS SURGERY
SILS (single incision laproscopic surgery):
• all instruments through multiple ports through single incision at
umbilicus
• reduces the port site bleeding,port site hernia
• adopted for hernia and gall bladder surgery etc
UNIPORTAL THORACIC SURGERY
15.
ENDOLUMINAL ENDOSCOPY ANDNATURAL ORIFICE SURGERY
•Flexible or rigid endoscope introduced into hollow organs or systems
urinary tract
upper and lower gastrointestinal tract
respiratory tract
vascular system
NOTES(Natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery)
HYDRID MINIMAL ACCESSSURGERY
•Flexible and staright stick endoscope
•open and endoscopic surgery
TOTALLY ENDOSCOPIC HYBRID APPROACH
• Endo and extra luminal endoscope
• ABDOMEN : laparo-endoscopic approach of biliary lithiasis,colonic
polyp excision,urological procedures (pyeloplasty and donor
nephrectomy)
• THORACIC: Navigation bronchoscope with placement of fiducial
markers
23.
OPEN AND ENDOSCOPICHYBRID APPROACH
• HALS(Hand assisted laproscopic surgery):hand or forearm placed
through minilaprotomy incision while pneumoperitoneum is
maintained
• palpate organs or tumors, reflect organs atraumatically, retract
structures, blunt dissection along tissue and finger pressure to
bleeding point
ROBOTIC SURGERY
• Robot: mechanical device that performs automated physical tasks
according to direct human supervision , a predefined program or a set
of guidelines , using artificial intelligence
• Robotic surgical systems :
TELEOPERATED(master - slave) system: surgeon performs operation
via robot and it’s instruments through televisual computerised
platform
ACTIVE OR SEMIACTIVE SYSTEM: robots completes pre programmed
surgical task
30.
HISTORY
• CT guidedbiopsy in 1985 using PUMA 560 system ( programmable
universal machine for assembly )
• ROBODOC pre programmed active robot that enabled precise
preparation of femoral implant cavity during hip replacement
• In 1992 AESOP ( Automated Endoscopic System for Optimal
Positioning) which mounted endoscopic camera on single robotic arm
and is controlled by surgeon by voice command
• ZEUS in 1996 master-slave teleoperated system
• da Vinci surgical system in 2000 ( da Vinci Xi 2014)
33.
ADVANTAGES
• VISION: 3dhd imaging, improves stereoscopic vision with depth
perception
• Manoeuvrability : improved with seven degree of freedom
• Improves dextrity and filter out tremors
• Improves ergonomic environment for surgeon
DIRECT ROBOTIC SYSTEMSAND HYBRID
ROBOTIC SURGERY
• tremor suppression robots
• active guidance systems
• articulated mechanotronic devices
• force control systems
• haptic feedback devices
HISTORY
• coagulation disordersas the options for hemostasis are limited
• history of surgery in same area for adhesions
• previous oncological treatment as it creates hostile surgical
environment
38.
EXAMINATION
• Cardiac evaluationas insuffulation of chest and abdomen may cause
arrhthymias
• severe chronic obstructive airway disease and ischemic heart disease
are contraindicated
• Morbid obesity -special instrumentation and trochars needed
• low bmi and small body habitus challenging for ports placement
• spinal deformities difficult in positioning
39.
PROPHYLAXIS AGAINST THROMBOEMBOLISM
•Reverse trendelenburg position in laproscopy and prolonged duration
are risk factors for deep vein thrombosis
• low molecular weight heparin,anti thrombotic stockings ,pneumatic
calf compressions in prolonged surgeries
40.
URINARY CATHETERS ANDNASOGASTRIC
TUBES
• Recent times mostly omitted
• check whether pt is on fasting and emptied bladder
41.
INFORMED CONSENT
• Natureof procedure
• risks
• alternative procedures
• explanatory booklet
• conversion to open procedures
• addressing patient questions and requests
• complications :shoulder tip pain,minor surgical emphysema and
visceral injury(rare and serious)
42.
THEATER SET UPAND TOOLS
• Key to efficiency
• modern theaters : movable booms for diathermy,laproscopic
equipment,carbon dioxide supply,flow monitor,appropriate
audiovisual kits,high or ultra high definiton monitors
• Image quality :camera and lens technologies , automatic focusing
and charge coupled devices for different level of brightness
• Efficient team work
44.
General intraoperative principles
•Unique set of procedure steps
• methods of creating pneumo peritoneum
• site of trochar placement in redo surgery
• larger and longer instruments in obese patient
45.
OPERATIVE PROBLEMS
Intraoperative perforationof a viscus or vascular injury
• Emergency conversion is required
• blood loss may lead to hemodynamic instability
• avoided by surgical experience,education,patient selection and
preparation
46.
BLEEDING
• Most commoncause for conversion to open surgery
• RISK FACTORS: - liver diseases (cirrhosis, autoimmune liver disese)
- patient on anticoagulants
-coagulation defects
-inflammatory conditions like acute
cholecystitis,diverticulitis
47.
• BLEEDIN FROMORGANS DURING SURGERY:
- due to excessive retraction
- surgicel(absorbable fibrillar oxidised cellulose),tissue glues
48.
• Bleeding fromtrochar site:
-applying upward pressure, lateral pressure by torchar itself, diathermy
-Endoclose used to apply transabdominal sutures
-mass ligation of vessels around port
-foley ballon catheter
50.
ELECTROSURGICAL INJURIES
• Inadveretenttouching or grasping of tissue during current application
• direct sparkling from diathermy probe
• insulation breaks in laproscopic or robotic instruments
• current passage from recently coagulated tissue
bipolar is safer and preferred to monopolar
52.
POST OPERATIVE CARE
•NAUSEA : responds to antiemetics and settels with in 12to24 hrs
• SHOULDER TIP PAIN : Referred from diaphragm , worst 24hrs after operation and
settels within 2to3 days
• PORT SITE PAIN AND NUMBNESS:
-worse if hematoma is formed
-may be a sign of infection
-herniation through port site
53.
• ANALGESIA :depends on patient and procedural factors
• ORO OR NASOGASTRIC TUBES:before patient regain consciousness
• ORAL FLUIDS: resume fluids by 4 to6 hrs after operation
• ORAL FEEDING: light meal after 4to6 hrs of operation
• URINARY CATHETER: before patient regain consciousness
(short procedures <4hrs urinary catheter is not needed)
54.
• DRAINS: Outputshould be monitored
continuous blood loss from drain is an indication for re
exploration
•MOBILITY: as soon as they recovered from anaesthesia
•SKIN SUTURES : if non absorbable removed after 7 to 10 days
AUGMENTED REALITY
• Fusionof projected computerised images with a real environment
• application of real time imaging or other data overlaid via computer
processing software onto surgical field
• EXAMPLES:
use of INDOCYANINE GREEN for immunofluorescent localisation of
tumors , vascular , bronchial, lymphatic structures
when bound to plasma proteins indocyanine green emits light with peak
wavelwnth of 820 to 830 nm on illumination with near infra red light
57.
through use ofspecifically designed hd cameras and software system
with imposed pseudo color , areas of differential tissue density and
vascular supply can be detected clearly with out need of palpation
thus facilitating complete resection and clear surgical margins
mostly used in minimal access surgeries
FIREFLY mode in da Vinci Xi,X robotic surgical systems
• ERGON: work
•NOMOS: Natural laws or arrangement
study of people at work in terms of equipment design,workplace
layout,working environment,safety,productivity,training
In simple words science of best suiting the worker to his job or to
make the setting and surrounding favourable for laproscopic surgeon
65.
ERGONOMIC CHALLENGES DURINGLAPROSCOPY
Lack of tactile sensation : reduces efficacy and increases time of dissection
Decreased degree of freedom of movement : 2 dimensional vision with loss
of depth perception to some extent, only 4 degree of freedom
Tremor enhancement
Decoupling of visual and motor axes :
-visual orietation changes with loss of depth perception
-loss of peripheral binoucular vision caused by limited viewing
spectrum offered
-have to overcome spatial seperation of axis of vision and axis of
physical aspect of the procedure
66.
Assumption of relativelystatic posture:
-surgeon have to be in more static posture leads to build
of lactic acid and toxins by muscles and tendons
-sensorial ergonomics ( manipulation and visualisation)
improves precision , dextrity and confidence
- physical ergonomics provide comfort for sugeon
More clutter: spaghetti of connections
Dark room: risk of choosing wrong instrument
67.
Factors for idealposture
• Height of operating table
• Position of visual display
• Foot pedal location
• Port placement
• Related to instrumentation
• Surgeon and team position
• Technical advancement
70.
OPERATING TABLE HEIGHT
•Ergonomically angle between lower and upper arms hould be
between 90 to 120 degrees ( slightly below elbow level)
• either lower the table or stand on elevated platform
Monitor position: 15 to 40 degrees below the horizontal plane of eye
• least neck strain
• ceiling mounted monitors, large high definition monitors,monitors
with flexible boom,head mounted displays and projection system
71.
Foot pedal location:
-for bipolar device, cautery , ultrasonic shears , other
tissue dividing instruments
- placed near the foot and aligned in same direction as
the instruements towards the quadrants
Port placements :
- 3 angles MANIPULATION , AZIMUTH , ELEVATION
72.
• Trocars placedin triangular fashion ( triangulation) in which target
organ is 15 to 20 cm from central port ( optical trocar)
• 2 remaining trochar in same 15 to 20 cm arc at 5 to 7 cm on either
side of optic trochars
• Allows instruments to work at 60 to 90 degrees
• when optical trocar is placed as one of lateral port trocar :
SECTORISATION
- done in appendicectomy
74.
• Manipulation angle: 45 to 75 degrees( between 2 working
insruments)
• Azimuth angle : 30 to 45 degrees ( between instrument and
telescope)
• Elevation angle : around 60 degrees( patient body and instrument)
• wide manipulation angle necessitate wide elevation angle
76.
GLASSBOW DIAMOND SUCCESS
•A diamond shape anatomical area at umbilicus region that marks the
safe zone for veress needle or trocar entry
• avoids majot vessels like inferior epigastric arteries and minimizes risk to
viscera and bladder
• BOUNDARIES: laterally - medial border of both rectus abdominis muscle
superiorly-umbilicus
inferiorly-pubic symphysis ( or a point midway between
umbilicus and pubis)
center- linea alba ( avascular midline plane)
77.
• Factors forsuccess:
- proper patient positioning ( trebdelenburg , empty bladder)
-lifting abdominal wall while inserting veress needle
-using of safety tests
-palpation of midline for accurate placement
•Significance : safe and effective creation pneumoperitoneum,
minimizing complications, commonlyy used with closed or open
methods
79.
RELATED TO INSTRUMENTATION:
-limitedview
-angulated scopes for better view of anatomy
- less efficient instruments ( decreased efficient
transmisson of force from surgeons hand to instrument)
-limited instrument mobility
-instrument exchange during surgery are laborious
and distracting to surgeon
80.
• Health relatedeffects in surgeons :
- neck pain , spondylosis
- cervical spondylitis , shoulder pain
- hand finger joint pains , tenosynovitis,burning eyes
83.
The cleaner andgentler the act of operation , the less the patient
suffers , the smoother and quicker his convalescence , the more
exquisite his healed wound
