[Laparoscopic side-to-side gastrojejunostomy].

Development of laparoscopic stapling devices and growing experience with the new method made resective and reconstructive operations on the digestive system accessible to laparoscopy. After extensively testing the method on pigs, we now report on laparoscopic gastro-jejunostomies performed in two patients for gastric stenosis due to inoperable carcinoma of the pancreas. The technique is described. It requires expensive instruments and a very skilled surgeon. While being a safe procedure in the hands of a well-trained surgeon, it presents a high degree of difficulty. Therefore, in order to avoid complications, it should not be advised for a large scale application before results of a greater number of cases can be presented.

[Laparoscopic sigmoid resection].

Laparoscopic appendectomy and cholecystectomy have become routine operations in many hospitals by now. The high acceptance among patients and surgeons together with the development of performing laparoscopic instruments made the laparoscopic approach of colon resections possible. The technique of laparoscopic resection of the sigmoid colon is described. By a surgeon possessing experience in laparoscopic surgery, it can be done without problems. The advantage for the patient lies in less postoperative pain and a shorter hospital stay, but the method still needs to be perfectionated and tested before being advised for a large scale application.
