Natural Orifice Endoscopic Transgastric Distal Pancreatectomy, A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial. Natural orifice surgery may represent a paradigm shift in the area of minimally invasive surgery and therapeutic endoscopy. However, studies to date have been limited primarily to small ca...se series with small sample sizes. There has been no large rigorous randomized controlled trial of natural orifice surgery to date. Early work on procedures such as peritoneoscopy, oophorectomy and tubal ligation, while pioneering, have reproduced laparoscopic procedures with minimal morbidity and mortality. In contrast, distal pancreatectomy has a post-operative morbidity of more than 50% even in high volume tertiary care centers. As a highly morbid surgery, the post-operative event rate would allow for a significant difference to be seen in a trial of conventional versus NOTES distal pancreatectomy. We have recently completed a prospective randomized controlled trial of NOTES versus laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy in a swine model which builds on our earlier non-survival work. This video focuses on the endoscopic technique.
There is no sure way for women to avoid their most common type of cancer. But when breast cancer is found early, the survival chances are the greatest. Here is October’s survivor story:
It has been 25 years since a woman very dear to us here at CBS 11 News found out she was a living cliché. Following in her birth mother’s footsteps, she discovered breast cancer on her own. Today she’s alive, urging every woman she can reach to do a self-check.
We here at CBS 11 News have come to know Juneil Jones-Flemming’s soft, warm greeting.

During open-heart valve surgery, the doctor makes a large incision in the chest. Blood is circulated outside of the body through a machine to add oxygen to it (cardiopulmonary bypass or heart-lung machine). The heart may be cooled to slow or stop the heartbeat so that the heart is protected from damage while surgery is done to replace the valve with an artificial valve. The artificial valve might be mechanical (made of man-made substances). Others are made out of animal tissue, often from a pig.
Diagnosis of this condition is based on clinical symptoms alone, as there are no diagnostic laboratory tests. In order to meet the criteria for Tourette syndrome, both motor and vocal tics must be present before the age of 21 , and the tics must occur many times a day for at least 12 months which is the case in this patient. Tourette syndrome is associated with several comorbid conditions, with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) the most common. OCD is therefore the condition this child is most at risk of developing in the future.
