Hand-Assisted laparoscopic Surgery.
Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) has been sporadically described in the past to assist the surgeon during operations of complexity or when operations require specimen removal. The hand will offer the surgeon an advantage in terms of tactile feedback, exposure, retraction, or orientation so that it will enable him or her to operate with greater safety and efficiency. The fundamental pre-requisite for successful HALS is a reliable hand-assist device. We perform HALS for complex advanced laparoscopic surgery where it may save time, increase accuracy and improve safety. Additionally, this approach is considered for any operation that requires specimen removal, since an enlarged incision may be required. Early introduction of the hand may facilitate dissection and specimen removal.

New Device for Hand-Assisted Laparoscopic Surgery.
Laparoscopic surgery has undergone a rapid evolution since the first laparoscopic cholecystectomy of Erich Mühe in 1985. Many surgeons felt that further technological success would be related not only to increasing experience and skill of surgeons, but also technological advances which would enable surgeons to perform increasingly more difficult and complex tasks. Progress has been rapid for some, but broad acceptance by surgeons has been slow.

Preoperative computed tomography-guided hookwire needle localization of a peritoneal multilocular inclusion cyst.
Preoperative hookwire localization of breast lesions is a well established technique to aid surgeons in localizing breast tumors. We describe the innovative use of a standard hookwire with CT guidance to localize an intraperitoneal inclusion cyst.
