I'd like to talk about a procedure first pioneered by George Kelling in 1901 and that has since revolutionized the field of noninvasive medicine -Laparoscopy. Laparoscopy is a procedure where cameras and tools are inserted into minimal incisions which allows providers to carry out procedures via monitors. Because of its diverse applications Laparoscopy can bring minimally invasive means to many procedures, minimizing risk and recovery times to further better patient outcomes. Some of the high risk procedures that can be ameliorated include Salpingectomies, cystectomy, orchiopexies, rectopexies, and apendectomies. Non-Invasive and Minimally invasive medicine are having their times in the sun as patient care is emphasized more and more, I wonder what new and exciting developments will take place in the field as I prepare to enter medicine!

I am so happy about this announcement!
The team at Pd-m International are incredibly pleased to announce a major global health project success with an investment by NLC - The European Healthtech Venture Builder to create a new start-up company LORESA to address inequalities in health care.
Our journey started with a conversation with Professor Pete Culmer at the University of Leeds about a frugal innovation medical device to address inequalities in low to middle income countries.
The health tech innovation was focused around gasless laparoscopy in order to avoid using expensive carbon dioxide, so that it was more widely available to regions such as rural India and Sub-Saharan Africa.
With funding from NIHR (National Institute for Health and Care Research) the Pd-m team worked closely with the University of Leeds, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Anurag Mishra and Lovenish Bains, the clinical and surgical team at a teaching hospital in Delhi.
During several team deployments in rural India locations the team carried out initial user insight, attended live operating procedures, interviewed rural surgeons and carried out early-stage design thinking in order to capture the requirements and formulate the design brief.
Following ideation, product development, prototyping, engineering, cadaveric testing and iterations Pd-m onboarded medical device manufacturer XLO with new collaborators Sundeep Singh Sawhney and Tamandeep Singh Kochhar to join the team.
Fast forward through regulatory approval and production, the project is now being used in India has now been so successful it has caught the attention of NLC who have invested to form a new company LORESA, lead by Deborah Maufi MBBS, MBA.
This announcement is incredibly important to us because it demonstrates that having the right team with a range of diverse skills can take the seed of an academic idea and really go global to address health inequalities.
The device we have collaborated to innovate empowers surgeons to perform gasless laparoscopy with minimal infrastructure requirements, expanding the reach of minimally invasive surgery to underserved communities.
The team at Pd-m and LORESA believe that healthcare innovations should not be limited by geographical boundaries, socio-economic backgrounds or resource constraints.

🌍 Innovating for Impact: Gasless Laparoscopy in Resource-Limited Settings 🏥
In the world of healthcare, innovation often stems from a need to bridge gaps and overcome challenges. In many parts of the world, access to advanced medical facilities is limited, making complex surgical procedures a daunting task. Traditional laparoscopic surgery, which relies on carbon dioxide insufflation, poses challenges in resource-constrained environments. Enter Retractor for Abdominal Insufflationless Surgery (RAIS), a groundbreaking solution designed to eliminate the need for gas insufflation during laparoscopy.
🔍 What sets RAIS apart?
✅ Accessibility: RAIS empowers surgeons to perform gasless laparoscopy with minimal infrastructure requirements, expanding the reach of minimally invasive surgery to underserved communities.
✅ Affordability: By reducing the reliance on expensive gas systems, RAIS makes laparoscopy more cost-effective, making healthcare more accessible to those who need it most.
✅ Innovation: Loresa's dedication to innovation has resulted in a tool that enhances surgical precision while prioritizing patient safety.
At Loresa, we believe that healthcare innovations should not be limited by geographical boundaries or resource constraints. RAIS represents our commitment to making healthcare more equitable and accessible to all.
🙌 We're pushing the boundaries of medical technology and bringing transformative change to the world of surgery. Stay tuned for more updates on RAIS and its impact on global healthcare.

Techniques for performing rectopexy for rectal prolapse vary widely. In order to investigate surgeons’ practice and preferences, we propose you to take part in the present survey.
To participate, you need to be a general and/or colorectal surgeon 😷performing rectopexy. All participants will be included in the collaborative group and will be granted authorship.

🌟 Breaking Ground in Surgical Innovation with the VORTEX System! 🌟
We are thrilled to announce the national launch of the VORTEX Surgical Suction Clearing system, developed by Stephen P. Kalhorn, MD, FAANS at the Medical University of South Carolina in collaboration with VayuClear and Medical Access Partners, LLC. This innovative device revolutionizes surgical procedures by efficiently clearing suction lines, enhancing safety and procedure flow.
Dr. Kalhorn first used the VORTEX system in a lumbar procedure this past June, instantly benefiting from its efficiency. Over the past few months, it has proven invaluable in multiple surgeries, reducing clogging frustrations and saving significant time.
Our dedicated team at the Zucker Institute was instrumental in bringing VORTEX to market by offering comprehensive support. We are excited to see Dr. Kalhorn's vision come to life and are committed to fostering innovation and developing cutting-edge technologies like VORTEX.

Open abdomen #surgical cases represent a significant surgical and resource challenge.
We're pleased to share a new paper that was published looking at the economic implications behind using our AbClo device, and here are three key findings:
-->The clinical effectiveness of AbClo...showed a 53% increased likelihood of primary closure compared to standard of care
-->The AbClo device provides $6,012 of cost savings per patient
-->Cost minimization is found from reduction in ICU and OR length of stay
