Laparoscopic Procedures

The number of U.S. adults who died within 90 days of donating a kidney was less than one per 10,000 donors in the past decade, a significant drop from about three deaths per 10,000 donors from 1993 to 2012, according to study data.

The prevalence of laparoscopic surgery to treat colorectal cancer varied based on geographical location, hospital type and patient insurance status, according to data presented at the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons Annual Meeting in Baltimore.
