Urological surgeons have become proficient at performing complex pelvic urological procedures, such as radical prostatectomy, using the laparoscopic approach. Declan Murphy and Daniel Moon share their experience of four less common procedures they have performed recently using laparoscopic techniques. These include: excision of a urachal cyst; partial cystectomy for endometriosis (combined endoscopic-laparoscopic approach); repair of an intra-peritoneal bladder rupture; and repair of a ureteric injury (combined endoscopic-laparoscopic approach).

Nerves are the organs that make up the peripheral nervous system (PNS). They serve as information pipelines that allow the brain and spinal cord to communicate with other tissues and organs. Inside the nerves are the axon processes of sensory and motor neurons (nerve cells).

Tooth colored composite fillings are chemically bonded to teeth. For this reason, the placement of white fillings does not always require numbing the area being restored. Numbing (anesthetizing) the area is often required if tooth decay has progressed beneath the enamel layer and into the underlying dentin layer which surrounds the nerve of the tooth. Once decay is removed, the tooth is cleaned and a primer (weak acid) is applied to the area being restored. The primer opens pores in the enamel and dentin. A bonding agent is then flowed into the open pores and cured. Curing prepares the bonding agent to adhere to the tooth colored filling material. The filling material is then placed inside the tooth. After shaping the tooth colored filling material to resemble the natural anatomy of your tooth it is hardened by curing with a strong curing light. Once the white filling hardens, your bite will be checked to make sure your teeth fit together properly. If the tooth filling extends into the space between your teeth your dentist will also make sure you can floss between your teeth properly. Adjustments will be made if necessary followed by smoothing and polishing of your new filling..

The placement of a percutaneous expandable biliary endoprosthesis was first reported in 1985 by Carrasco et al. in a canine model,[1] and the endoscopic placement of expandable metal stents to relieve biliary strictures in patients was first described in 1989.[2,3] Over the past two decades, the endoscopic approach to biliary endoprosthesis placement has largely supplanted the percutaneous approach. Self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) have traditionally been used for palliation of obstructive jaundice in patients with unresectable pancreaticobiliary tumors. However, SEMS are increasingly being used in patients with resectable cancers[4] and benign biliary strictures.[5] Uncovered SEMS (uSEMS) have been shown to have longer patency periods than plastic stents when used for malignant biliary obstruction and to be cost effective if the patient's life expectancy is greater than 4–6 months.[6–8] The common causes of malignant biliary obstruction are pancreatic cancer and cholangiocarcinoma.[9–11] Biliary drainage prior to surgical resection is controversial; several investigators have reported it to be beneficial owing to the improved tissue healing with reduced bilirubin levels,[12,13] but others have also reported its deleterious effects secondary to the additional intervention..

Biliary atresia is a rare disease of the liver and bile ducts that occurs in infants. Symptoms of the disease appear or develop about two to eight weeks after birth. Cells within the liver produce liquid called bile. Bile helps to digest fat.

Wilson's disease is a rare inherited disorder that causes too much copper to accumulate in your liver, brain and other vital organs. Symptoms typically begin between the ages of 12 and 23. Copper plays a key role in the development of healthy nerves, bones, collagen and the skin pigment melanin. Normally, copper is absorbed from your food, and any excess is excreted through bile — a substance produced in your liver.
