to make the quarterly livelier and more beneficial for doctors and scientists !!!

On June the 1st, 2021 VSJ launches a new discussion platform in the journal.

We invite all MIS surgeons to rapidly submit for publication:
- small forms describing unusual clinical situations related to their practice,
- short clinical comments relating to any publications in VSJ, including the clinical situations described above
- brief communications of original studies deserving fast publication
- your personal opinions as part of a larger discussion on the VSJ publication
- letters concerning the topics described above

Clinical Forum gives you a means of rapid presentation of your findings in the medical databases, scientific citations on the international forum, and also an Impact Factor!

We present a novel minimally invasive technique, laparoscopy-assisted micropercutaneous choledocholithotripsy, for choledocholithiasis that cannot be treated with other endoscopic techniques. This technique includes standard laparoscopic exploration of the common bile duct, combined with an all-seeing needle and holmium laser lithotripsy. As is known, an all-seeing needle is used in micropercutaneous nephrolithotomy for middle-sized renal stones. In this technique, an all-seeing needle was inserted into the dilatated common bile duct under laparoscopic vision and then a lithotripsy procedure was performed with a holmium laser behind the biliary stent. A cholecystectomized female patient with a 21-mm stone in the common bile duct who previously underwent an unsuccessful endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography procedure was operated on in our service with laparoscopy-assisted micropercutaneous choledocholithotomy without a T-tube. This novel procedure was completed uneventfully and the patient was discharged without any complications. In the future, this procedure will hopefully be a treatment modality in choledocholithiasis that cannot be treated by other minimally invasive techniques.
