Eucker D, Ruedi N, Luedtke C, Stern O, Niebuhr H, Zerz A, et al.
Surg Innov . 2021 Sep; 29(2):169-182. PMID: 34530655
Background: The abdominal wall expanding system (AWEX) was first applied in 2012 and published in 2017. This novel technique was developed to reconstruct complex incisional hernias and residual skin-grafted laparostoma...

Cordewener C, Zurcher M, Muller P, Muller-Stich B, Zerz A, Linke G, et al.
Surg Endosc . 2020 Sep; 35(9):5078-5087. PMID: 32968914
Background: Transrectal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery is currently limited by the inherent risk of surgical site infection due to peritoneal contamination after rectotomy. Coloshield has been developed as a...

Eucker D, Zerz A, Steinemann D
Surg Innov . 2017 Jul; 24(5):455-461. PMID: 28705101
Background: In large incisional hernias and after laparostoma midline closure may be impossible. A novel abdominal wall expander system (AWEX) is proposed and evaluated. Methods: In patients with large incisional...

Steinemann D, Zerz A, Muller P, Sauer P, Schaible A, Lasitschka F, et al.
Endoscopy . 2017 Mar; 49(7):668-674. PMID: 28301879
 Extensive endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for Barrett's esophagus (BE) may lead to stenosis. Laparoscopic, transgastric, stapler-assisted mucosectomy (SAM) with the retrieval of a circumferential specimen is proposed.  SAM was evaluated...

Steinemann D, Zerz A, Adamina M, Brunner W, Keerl A, Nocito A, et al.
World J Surg . 2016 Sep; 41(2):449-456. PMID: 27671014
Background: Single-incision laparoscopy (SIL) and natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) aim at reducing surgical access trauma. To monitor the introduction of emerging technologies, the Swiss Association for Laparo- and...

Steinemann D, Lamm S, Zerz A
J Gastrointest Surg . 2016 Jul; 20(10):1760-8. PMID: 27456017
Aim: Energy devices represent an alternative to clips and staplers for vessel sealing. Outcome data of patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery with use of a novel combined ultrasonic and bipolar energy...

Steinemann D, Zerz A, Germann S, Lamm S
J Am Coll Surg . 2016 Apr; 223(2):299-307. PMID: 27086090
Background: In transrectal rigid-hybrid natural orifice translumenal endoscopic sigmoidectomy (trNS), extraction-site laparotomy is avoided, which reduces postoperative pain and improves recovery time. However, current research evaluating anorectal function after trNS...

Lamm S, Zerz A, Steinemann D
Praxis (Bern 1994) . 2016 Apr; 105(8):453-6. PMID: 27078729
As minimal invasive abdominal surgery became established in the last decades, further minimization of the surgical access is in the focus now. Although laparoscopic instruments and camera systems become diminished...

Muller-Stich B, Linke G, Senft J, Achtstatter V, Muller P, Diener M, et al.
Ann Surg . 2015 Nov; 262(5):721-5. PMID: 26583658
Objective: Laparoscopic mesh-augmented hiatoplasty with cardiophrenicopexy (LMAH-C) might represent an alternative treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and may provide durable reflux control without fundoplication. The expected benefit is the...

Lamm S, Zerz A, Efeoglou A, Steinemann D
J Am Coll Surg . 2015 Aug; 221(4):789-97. PMID: 26282488
Background: Our goal was to evaluate the feasibility of transrectal rigid hybrid natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) sigmoidectomy (trNS) in a series of consecutive prospective patients with diverticular disease....
