Infertility – a civilisation disease of the 21st century

On 23 June, Poland celebrates Father’s Day. The origins of this holiday in Poland date back to 1965 and worldwide to 1910 (USA). Initially, however, the holiday was purely local in scope and the idea to celebrate it came from Sonora Smart Dodd. Sonora was the daughter of a Civil War veteran who was raising six children alone after the death of his wife. In this way, the girl wanted to thank her dad for his care and love and, at the same time, pay her respects to all fathers [1]. Fatherhood is a great privilege that unfortunately is not available to all men, at least in a biological sense. Statistics on infertility leave no doubt, and the WHO considers infertility to be the civilisation disease of the 21st century [2]. What are its characteristics, causes and treatment methods? These and other questions will be answered in the text below.

Minimally invasive surgery – primum non nocere

Laparoscopy as a surgical technique was made popular thanks to pioneers such as Palmer, Frangenheim or Semm. However, let us remember that one of the fathers of laparoscopy was Georg Kelling. It was on his operating table that, over 120 years ago, a dog was placed and operated on using that method[1]. While the first appendectomy was performed laparoscopically more than 40 years ago, that technique is used not just for abdominal surgery today. And this, despite the fact that the pioneer of laparoscopic appendectomy was threatened with the withdrawal of his right to practice the profession[2]. Presently, the development of technology and the constant expansion of qualifications of physicians make it possible for that technique to be used in many fields. Nowadays, no one is surprised that a patient who ends up on the operating table with a lumbar hernia goes home after a few days. Is laparoscopy the future?

Shoulder arthroscopy is one of the most popular orthopaedic interventions and is an effective and relatively safe method of diagnosing and treating problems in the shoulder joint. Due to the minimally invasive nature of the procedure, patients can expect a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. Due to the popularity of the method, it continues to develop each year, both in terms of the equipment used and the methods employed during the procedure.
