Nowadays, hysterectomy is, after cesarean section, the most common surgical intervention performed in fertile women. Laparoscopic hysterectomy remains a safe and reproducible intervention that should be in any’s gynecologists therapeutic armamentarium.

Radical cystectomy remains the gold standard for muscle invasive bladder cancer and high-risk superficial tumors resistant to intravesical treatment. Nevertheless, the laparoscopic cystoprostatectomy has rarely been well codified and illustrated.

The original fundoplication technique as described by Rudolf Nissen in 1955 consisted in wrapping the fundus of the stomach around the esophagus, while leaving the gastrosplenic vessels and the diaphragmatic hiatus intact. Additionally, the vagus nerves were little or not preserved.
The basic principles of a fundoplication are:
- tension-free repositioning of the gastroesophageal junction (along with 2 cm of lower esophagus in a subphrenic position);
- use the gastric fundus to create the fundoplication;
- make sure that the resistance generated by the anti-reflux mechanism matches the preoperative assessment of esophageal peristalsis.
The description of the 4DDOME® inguinal hernia repair covers all aspects of the surgical procedure used for the management of inguinal hernia.
Operating room set up, position of patient and equipment, instruments used are thoroughly described. The technical key steps of the surgical procedure are presented in a step by step way: local anesthesia, dissection of indirect inguinal hernia, repair: 4DDOME® technique, 4DDOME® placement, anterior mesh placement, end of procedure, other types of hernias.
Consequently, this operating technique is well standardized for the management of this condition.
Presently, the goals of modern hernia surgery are not only prevention of future herniation from areas of the inguinal floor beyond the region of the original hernia (<1%), but are also to repair hernias with less postoperative pain and a shorter recovery period (Schumpelick, 2000). To corroborate this, medicolegal complaints mainly refer to residual pain after anterior inguinal hernia repair. Residual pain is partly related to the dissection technique, to the excess of prosthetic material but also to fixation techniques which are responsible for chronic painful discomfort in 1 to 17% of patients (Vrijland et al., 2002).
The description of the laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: transperitoneal approach covers all aspects of the surgical procedure used for the management of prostate cancer.
Operating room set up, position of patient and equipment, instruments used are thoroughly described. The technical key steps of the surgical procedure are presented in a step by step way: initial dissection of seminal vesicles, intrafascial dissection, specimen retrieval, vesicourethral anastomosis, end of procedure.
Consequently, this operating technique is well standardized for the management of this condition.
The use of radical prostatectomy is widespread in the treatment of localized prostate cancer. This procedure is well standardized in open surgery but laparoscopy can also be used as a treatment modality.
The first laparoscopic radical prostatectomy was primarily described by Schuessler (Schuessler et al., 1992).

The description of the laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: extraperitoneal approach covers all aspects of the surgical procedure used for the management of prostate cancer.
Operating room set up, position of patient and equipment, instruments used are thoroughly described. The technical key steps of the surgical procedure are presented in a step by step way: creation of extraperitoneal space, operative protocol, intrafascial dissection, specimen retrieval, vesicourethral anastomosis, end of procedure.
Consequently, this operating technique is well standardized for the management of this condition.
