During laparoscopic procedures, minilaparotomy is a safe technique for removal of large specimens and for the performance of complicated procedures. However, it is time consuming and troublesome to close the minilaparotomy to recreate the pneumoperitoneum. We describe a new device (Dispo-sand) that enables instant conversion between pneumoperitoneum and minilaparotomy.

Our experience with a non-invasive, disposable electrode for intra-operative identification and monitoring of the recurrent laryngeal nerve is described. The electrode system, while simply attached to the endotracheal tube, acts as a laryngeal surface electrode and detects electromyographic activity of the intrinsic laryngeal muscles when the recurrent laryngeal nerve is stimulated. We have successfully used this electrode to monitor 19 recurrent laryngeal nerves in 15 patients who have undergone partial or total thyroidectomy. We feel that this device can be useful particularly in cases of re-exploration and malignancies of the thyroid gland.
