65 year old man who underwent a laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication in August 2015. Preoperative manometry was normal and DeMeester score was 25. Two months later he began to experience difficulty of swallowing solid foods, then liquids. After 2 dilatations, dysphagia persisted.

Spleen preservation is advisable if feasible during distal pancreatectomy for benign pancreatic tumors. A 31 year old patient had a blunt abdominal injury. Computed Tomography (CT) scan showed an incidental tumor in the body of the pancreas. EUS-guided cytology revealed a solid pseudopapillary tumor with benign features.This video demonstrates the technical details during a minimally invasive excision of a rare tumor of the pancreas in a male patient. Very few cases have been reported in males.

This video demonstrates the approach to stapled ileoanal reservoir (Ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA)) construction initiated utilizing enterotomy at the future reservoir inlet. This approach has the advantage of permitting reservoir eversion during construction to ensure hemostasis and limiting the apical enterotomy to a stab puncture for the sharp anvil trochar. Dr. F. Michelassi and Dr. G.E. Block originally described this technique in 1993, and the authors have made minor adaptations (1)

Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is today considered the gold standard and, in experienced hands, can now be performed safely for UC with a low postoperative complication rate and a long-term pouch failure rate reported less than 10%6-8.
The introduction of minimally invasive techniques might further decrease postoperative morbidity and improve patients’ satisfaction, with reduced impact on body image and better cosmesis9-11. Unfortunately not every patient is a candidate for a restorative operation and, like in the case of our patient, a total proctocolectomy (TPC) with a permanent Brook ileostomy is performed with a laparoscopic approach.
Laparoscopic TPC offers significant advantages over the open conventional procedure in terms of body image and cosmesis, important factors in the acceptance of surgery in this young patient population, while conflicting results have been reported in terms of postoperative recovery. Faster return of bowel function after laparoscopy and decreased use of narcotics have been reported by some authors, not always translating into shorter hospital stay.
