• Laparoscopy-Assisted Transjejunal ERCP in a Patient with Roux-en-Y Reconstruction Following Partial Gastrectomy
  Tercio L. Lopes, M.D., M.S.P.H.; Ronald H. Clements, M.D.; C. Mel Wilcox, M.D., M.S.P.H.
  
  We report a patient with history of partial gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y reconstruction who presented with abdominal pain due to sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. After failed ERCP through the anatomical route, the procedure was successfully performed with laparoscopy assistance through an enterotomy into the biliopancreatic limb. An internal hernia was diagnosed incidentally and treated appropriately. Laparoscopy-assisted ERCP is a viable option in patients with Roux-en-Y anatomy, even when the gastric remnant and duodenum are not available.
• Laparoscopic Right Adrenalectomy for a Large Ganglioneuroma in a 12-Year-Old
  Sohail R. Shah MD, Gretchen P. Purcell MD, Marcus M. Malek MD, Timothy D. Kane MD
  
  Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is well established as the standard technique for all indications of adrenalectomy except adrenal carcinoma; however, some also consider large adrenal masses a relative contraindication[1-3]. We present a video of a laparoscopic excision of a large ganglioneuroma and right adrenalectomy in a 12-year-old female.

  With the advancement of laparoscopic equipment and growing operational experience the number of case reports or descriptions of series of nephrectomies performed in patients with preoperative diagnosis of venous system involvement has become more frequent in medical literature. The authors present the case of laparoscopic nephrectomy performed with retroperitoneoscopic access for preoperatively diagnosed renal vein and vena cava thrombus. Operation time was 130 minutes and the blood loss 50ml. The weight of the specimen was 460g. Postoperative course was uncomplicated. Pathology report revealed pT3b clear cell cancer (Fuhrman grade 2) with negative margins on the venous cutting line.
  Laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for stage T3b is feasible with adherence to mandatory oncologic principles in selected patients, however long-term follow-up is needed in order to evaluate oncological outcomes of that technique.

• Intrahepatic Glissonian Approach for Laparoscopic Left Hemihepatectomy
  Marcel Autran C. Machado, Fabio F. Makdissi, Paulo Herman, Rodrigo C. Surjan
  
  The aim of this work was to present a video with technical aspects of a pure laparoscopic left hemihepatectomy (segments 2, 3, and 4) by using the intrahepatic Glissonian approach and control of venous outflow without hilar dissection or the Pringle maneuver.

• Endoscopic Sclerotherapy For Dilated Gastrojejunostomy After Gastric Bypass
  Madan, Atul; University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Division of Laparoendoscopic and Bariatric Surgery, Martinez, Jose; University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine, Laparoendoscopic & Bariatric Surgery, Khan, Khurram, Tichansky, David; Thomas Jeffereson University, surgery
  
  Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is an excellent option for weight loss in the morbidly obese. Unfortunately, some patients do have weight regain or insufficient weight loss. Revisional bariatric surgery is not without risk. Less invasive techniques may provide alternative treatments for patients that regain weight or have insufficient weight loss. This video will demonstrate a technique of endoscopic sclerotherapy for dilated gastrojejunostomy after gastric bypass.
• Infarction of an Extralobar Pulmonary Sequestration in a Young Child: Diagnosis and Excision by Video-Assisted Thoracoscopy
  Derek A. Uchida, MD, Kevin R. Moore, MD, Kelly E. Wood, MD, Theodore J. Pysher, MD, and Earl C. Downey, MD
  
  A 4-year-old male presented with abdominal pain. A computed tomography scan of the abdomen was negative, but a pleural effusion and mass was noted in the lower left thorax. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery revealed the mass to be a rare case of extralobar pulmonary sequestration that had undergone infarction.
