Among other findings of the study the breast milk of overweight mothers and mothers who had planned caesareans contained a lower diversity of bacteria species compared with that of other moms.

Mothers who had unplanned caesareans showed breast milk composition that was very similar to that of mothers who had a vaginal birth the researchers noted.

Hypospadias has a significant impact on public health as it often requires surgical correction. Approximately 600000 to 900000 American males alive today were born with some degree of hypospadias.

#Surgery proving effective with epilepsy patientsmelanie Vandyke can't wait to get her driver's license. I just want to get back out in the world she said.

But since undergoing a cutting-edge minimally invasive surgical procedure called MRI-guided laser ablation at Wake Forest Baptist Medical center Vandyke is poised to reclaim her life.

The surgery I do believe has turned my life around said the resident of Buchanan County in southwestern Virginia.

and the only one between Philadelphia and Atlanta to perform this type of laser surgery for epilepsy with a technology called Visualase.

since having the surgery while a few have experienced only isolated episodes. Our initial indications are that this is a really effective therapy said Wake Forest Baptist neurosurgeon Adrian Laxton M d. who performed the operation on Vandyke.

The laser method is a much less invasive alternative to conventional surgery. That type of procedure is usually a daylong operation

Based on what we've seen so far it's at least as effective as open surgery is far superior in terms of risk

But most people with epilepsy don't need surgery as seizures can be controlled by medication in approximately 60 percent of all patients.

Vandyke was presented with the two surgery options and chose the laser technique. She underwent the operation April 15.

Surgery is the most successful treatment but without life modification--portion control healthy choices and exercise--even surgery will not be successful in the long term.

In other words patients who have undergone bariatric surgery can put weight back on if they haven't changed their habits.

We offer a monthly post-op support group--group therapy so to speak --and most of those patients do really well''Fernandez said.

Susan and Allen Fletcher had bariatric surgery at Wake Forest Baptist after years of following diets that only worked for brief periods.

Graham and her colleagues say their day-to-day experience with patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery suggested these changes

Of the respondents almost all (97 percent) reported changes to their appetite after having the surgery.

Three out of every four (73 percent) patients noted that they had developed an aversion to specific foods after the surgery.

#Advantages, potential of computer-guided spinal surgeryin a series of research studies Cedars-Sinai spinal surgeons show that a new method of computer-guided spine surgery is beneficial for spinal reconstruction

while a patient is in surgery. The images are transferred to a computer which displays them on overhead monitors that allow precise tracking of surgical instruments as surgeons insert screws for reconstruction

and perform minimally-invasive surgery. This approach represents a major leap forward for instrumented spine surgery said Terrence T. Kim MD an orthopedic spine surgeon in the Cedars-Sinai Spine Center and expert in the computer-guided navigation field.

We're looking at the future. Joining Drs. Johnson and Kim as study co-authors are Doniel Drazin MD a senior resident in the Department of Neurosurgery and Robert S. Pashman MD a clinical associate professor and orthopedic spine surgeon at the Cedars

and computer-aided system used during minimally invasive surgery increased the accuracy of screw placement into vertebral pedicle bones.

and the mobile CT scanner allowed for more accurate surgical placement even within the narrowest parts of the thoracic spine particularly challenging regions in women

A third study determined that the image-guided technique can be useful for other minimally invasive procedures including thoracic endoscopic spine surgery to remove tumors infections

The final two articles offer an overview of computer-guided surgery of the spine including its use in revision

or redo spine surgeries that are often the most complex; and the potential future use of robotic spine surgery with computer navigation.

#Painting robot lends surgeons a hand in the operating roomwould you let an artist perform lifesaving surgery on you?

and canvas. His invention a creative blend of art and science could one day lend doctors a hand in practicing complex robot-assisted surgeries without having to step foot in an operating room.

and that prompted the idea of robotic surgery. Lee said painting and surgery have more in common than initially meets the eye.

A painter has to be nimble and precise with his brushstrokes much like a surgeon must be nimble and precise with a scalpel.

In addition to teaching the robot to paint autonomously Lee also explored the idea of using his robot as a training tool for surgeons who need practice operating a Da vinci surgical arm.

A study at Lund University Diabetes Centre in Sweden has shown now that the insulin-producing beta cells increase in number and performance after the surgery.

The small study involved gastric bypass surgery on just four pigs but is the only study of its kind and therefore unique.

A woman who carries the BRCA breast cancer gene for example who has watched families members die at an early age may choose preventive mastectomy rather than risk extremely high odds of developing the same illness.

Genetic screening took center stage last year as actress Angelina jolie shared her decision to have a preventive mastectomy in response to her own genetic risk.

Citrus surgery? Doctors refine their craft on clementinesyou know what s a great tool for practicing minimally invasive surgery?

Citrus fruit, according to Pamela Andreatta of the University of Michigan Medical school. NPR reports. Laparoscopic surgery is performed with a camera

and surgical instruments inserted through tiny incisions in the body. The traditional model of learning by watching then doing is putting young doctors in operating rooms before they've mastered basic skills,

And while there are surgical simulators on the market oe including high-tech digital systems offering a virtual reality oe she believes the skills crucial to laparoscopic surgery might be taught better with something simple  something like a clementine.

The minimally invasive surgery specialists scored the highest, by far. Residents and nonsurgical faculty scored significantly lower.

with little or no surgical experience, fared the worst. Check out the difference at NPR. You can find clementines or setsumas or tangerine variations all over the world,

The clementine is one of several dozen low-cost simulations Andreatta has developed for teaching minimally invasive surgery.
