1	Tumour metastasis and dissemination during laparoscopic surgery Neuhaus, Susan J. January 2000 (has links) (PDF) Copies of author's previously published articles enclosed. Bibliography: leaves 217-258. Examines recent literature which describes cases of metastatic involvement of laparoscopic port sites, not only in patients with advanced tumors but in patients with early stage carcinoma, and even in patients following laparoscopic procedures during which tumors were not disturbed. This thesis utilises an established small animal model to investigate the aetiology of port site metasrases and the efficacy of preventative strategies in reducing tumor implantation following laparoscopy.

3	Aetiology of tumour cell movement during laparoscopic surgery : patterns of movement and influencing factors Texler, Michael Lutz. January 1999 (has links) (PDF) Accompanying CD-ROM contains image files and software. Bibliography: leaves 259-286. Explores the factors affecting the movement of tumour cells from a primary malignancy across the peritoneal cavity to the port-site following laparoscopic intervention. Filter methods and radio-labelled tumour cells provided the most useful way of following cell movement. Concludes spread of tumour cells to the port-site is more likely in the presence of disseminated disease, as well as with inappropriate surgical technique. Metastasis may be reduced by the use of intraperitoneal lavage and appropriate surgical technique. Laparoscopic surgery Complications Metastasis

5	Patients' and nurses' knowledge and understanding of laparoscopic surgery Bhagirathee, Pravina Devi January 1900 (has links) A quantitative descriptive study was conducted to establish professional nurses’ and patients’ knowledge and understanding of laparoscopic surgery and to determine whether nurses are sufficiently knowledgeable to disseminate adequate information about laparoscopic surgery to patients. Two state hospitals based in KwaZulu-Natal where laparoscopic surgery is done were selected and the respondents were selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected by administering questionnaires to theatre nurses (n=39), ward nurses (n=87) and patients (n=42) scheduled for laparoscopic surgery. The SPSS version 15 for Windows was used to compute the results. The findings revealed that the professional nurses were not sufficiently knowledgeable about laparoscopic surgery to give adequate information to patients and the patients themselves were not fully informed about all aspects of laparoscopic surgery including the possibility of conversion to open surgery, complications and advantages and after care. There is therefore a dire need for improvement of patient education to assist patients gaining optimal recovery / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies) Laparoscopic surgery Pre-operative Intra-operative Post-operative Complications Informed consent Ward nurses Theatre nurses Patient education 617.550597 Patient education Laparoscopic surgery -- Complications Laparoscopic surgery Nurse and patient Preoperative education Postoperative care
