Talk:Laparoscopy

I don't think the robot surgery was fully autonomous: from the little I understood of the linked article, the machine required monitoring and occasional manual adjustments to finish a surgery successfully on the live pig — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.209.53.209 (talk) 16:20, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Pediatric Laparoscopy

Although laparoscopy in adult age group is widely accepted, its advantages in pediatric age group is questioned. Benefits of laparoscopy appears to recede with younger age. Efficacy of laparoscopy is inferior to open surgery in certain conditions such as pyloromyotomy for Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Although laparoscopic appendiectomy has lesser wound problems than open surgery, the former is associated with more intra-abdominal abscesses. Recently Raveenthiran raised concerns about the quick adoption and undue promotion of this technique in children (Ref: Journal of INdian Association of pediatric surgeons 2010 October - December, pages 122 - 126)

Extraneous material

When I view the Laparoscopy article, the opening paragraph begins with

"(water is never pure in a chemical sense. It contains various kinds of impurities such as dust particles, dissolved gases, dissolved minerals, microscopic paints and animals. These are natural impurities and bacteria. These are natural impurities derived from the atmosphere, catchments area and soil."

This text appears to have been added in an April 2012 edit, and seems to be an erroneous paste that got in there somehow. It should be removed, but I haven't been able to figure out how to do it. I point out here so that someone who knows Wikipedia editing better than me can go fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brucewh (talk • contribs) 09:33, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Blatant plagiarism

For such an important topic, this article is dreadfully poorly written. Vast swathes are lifted verbatim from J Minim Access Surg. 2007 Jan-Mar; 3(1): 35–36. Others passages are obviously copied and pasted from what appears to be a (possibly machine) translated article, as is made obvious by the sentence that states that the abstract to a paper "may be found here" but is missing the hyperlink that apparently existed in the original. This article is such a mess that it might be easier to blank it and start over than try to rework the existing content into something remotely acceptable. Removing all of the the plagiarized content, which urgently needs to happen, will reduce the article to an insignificant, incoherent stub. --Nonstopdrivel (talk) 05:57, 30 November 2018 (UTC)
