“Everything has to be as simple as possible but not simpler” This template can be used as a starter file for presenting training materials in a group setting. Sections Right-click on a slide to add sections. Sections can help to organize your slides or facilitate collaboration between multiple authors. Notes Use the Notes section for delivery notes or to provide additional details for the audience. View these notes in Presentation View during your presentation. Keep in mind the font size (important for accessibility, visibility, videotaping, and online production) Coordinated colors Pay particular attention to the graphs, charts, and text boxes. Consider that attendees will print in black and white or grayscale. Run a test print to make sure your colors work when printed in pure black and white and grayscale. Graphics, tables, and graphs Keep it simple: If possible, use consistent, non-distracting styles and colors. Label all graphs and tables. Sir Albert Einstein
Advantages of LS Rapid post-operative mobilization Short hospital stay Short convalescent time Less pain Less post-operative morbidity
Disadvantages of LS Increased intra-abdominal pressure causes Compression of: - Diaphragm - Inferior vena cava - Small vessels [increasing the peripheral resistance]
Disadvantages of LS Rare complications like Pneumothorax {1.9%} Pneumomediastinum {2.1%} Pulmonary embolism Massive sub-cutaneous emphysema {2.3%} Cardiac arrest This is another option for an Overview slides using transitions.
Physiological disadvantages of LS Hypothermia Shoulder pain Metabolic acidosis Hypercarbia {5.5%} Hypoxemia
Other complications of LS Dissemination of tumour cells Contamination of insufflator Contamination of instruments
Disadvantages of LS instruments Expensive Delicate Difficult to handle This is another option for an Overview slides using transitions.
The High Costs of LS Disposables Suturing devices Special stitch materials Coagulation and cutting devices
Failure of initial attempts of Lift laparoscopy Poor vision Difficulty in handling Longer operating time
Advantages of LLS TO THE PATIENT Less pain after surgery Shoulder pain is not present Less pain medication needed Faster post-operative recovery period Add a case study or class simulation to encourage discussion and apply lessons.
Advantages of LLS TO THE PATIENT Surgery is more precise and safer Less risk of infection that arises due to inadequately cleaned instruments and long tubes No serious complications due to blind insertion of needles and trocars Add a case study or class simulation to encourage discussion and apply lessons.
Advantages of LLS TO THE PATIENT No clips or FB remaining in the body for a long time Surgery could be performed under regional anesthesia No ill effects of gas etc., on fetus Less expensive More cosmetic scars Add a case study or class simulation to encourage discussion and apply lessons.
Problems of LS to Surgeons Herniated cervical disk Un-physiological instrument handling
Advantages of LLS to surgeons Dangerous complications of blind insertions are avoided Traditional instruments could be used Better tactile sense Shorter learning curve
Advantage of LLS to the Hospitals Regional anesthesia => less expense 1 Less capital and Maintenance expenses 2 Less disposables used and hence less charges 3 This is another option for an Overview slide.
Advantage of LLS to the Hospitals Cleaning is simpler 4 Autoclaving less expensive 5 Total cost to patient & hospital much less 6 This is another option for an Overview slide.
Summary Lift-Laparoscopy has several advantages for the patients, the surgeons and to the hospitals. It has all the advantages of regular gas laparoscopy and does away with the disadvantages of the gas pneumoperitoneum. It is safer and simpler.
