Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex vascular lesions most commonly found in the brain and infrequently head neck. AVMs characterized by a tangle of blood vessels called nidus, which shunts from an artery directly to draining vein. Various treatments available, including surgical resection endovascular embolization. Here, we report case 32-year-old male patient who complained painful pulsating left neck swelling with dysphagia for 1 year, turned out be AVM alongside thyroid gland....
Abstract Few reports in the literature explore efficacy of bariatric surgery patients post simultaneous kidney and pancreas transplant (SKPT). This case report entails a patient who had SKPT because end-stage renal disease type I diabetes. The failed, gained weight. explains approach outcome laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy this as preparation for re-transplant. was having grade 2 obesity, insulin-dependent, on hemodialysis, obstructive sleep apnea bilevel positive airway pressure.

Abstract Objective To investigate, in vivo, the effect of local application Resolvin E1 (RvE1) on bone regeneration critical‐size defects (CSDs) Wistar rats utilizing gene expression and micro‐computed tomographic (micro‐CT) analysis. Background The inflammation‐resolving actions RvE1 are well established. molecular mechanism its bone‐regenerative has been significant interest recent years; however, there is limited information regarding same. Materials Methods Thirty with a 5 mm induced...
Incidental parathyroidectomy with subsequent hypoparathyroidism and postoperative hypocalcemia is thought to be one of the common complications thyroidectomy. Current literature reports wide discrepancy in incidence risk factors.The aim our study was evaluate factors incidental thyroid surgery.A retrospective included 270 patients who had surgery that performed over two years from January 2017 December 2018 tertiary care hospitals. Preoperative records were assessed. Factors such as gender,...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common diseases, along with steatosis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), associated cirrhosis hepatocellular carcinoma. Candidate gene genome-wide association studies have validated relationships between NAFLD, NASH, PNPLA3, TM6SF2, HFE. The present study utilized five polymorphisms in three genes: PNPLA3 (I148M K434E) TM6SF2 (E167K), HFE (H63D C282Y), based on undocumented case–control Saudi Arabian population. A total 95...
Abstract Background: The literature is lacking experience of revising adjustable gastric band at private centers in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A retrospective review a hospital was conducted. Primary endpoints were weight loss after 1 year, operative time, and complications. Conversion patients matched with similar patient subjected to primary BS 1:2 ratio. Results: Twenty six managed single stage conversion AGB laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). One third the had regain (WR) intolerance...
The literature described Candy cane syndrome (CCS) as causing various symptoms and affecting patients' quality of life. Most the this occurrence at gastrojejunostomy (GJ) anastomosis. lacks data on occurring jejunojejunostomy (JJ). We describe a patient who underwent revision laparoscopic gastric bypass (LGB) due to weight regain presented three days after procedure with small bowel obstruction (SBO). was admitted she demonstrated picture SBO. A complete workup contrast study done showed...
Appendicitis is a well-known and highly common surgical emergency disease, yet it presents with wide variety of manifestations. This case report 47-year-old female who presented complaint having constant crampy right lower abdominal pain for two weeks. The patient reported sudden onset symptoms that went the typical picture acute appendicitis occurred weeks ago. Our pre-op workup was inconclusive; therefore, we planned to go diagnostic laparoscopy, where surprisingly, appendix long,...
Gastrocolic fistula (GCF) following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is uncommon. Usually it presents late with nonspecific symptoms and originates from the gastrojejunostomy (GJ). Management of such complication can be surgical, but endoscopic management implemented in selected patients. To our knowledge this first case reporting an early GCF originating pouch successfully managed stenting.
<h3>Objectives:</h3> To assess the demographics and clinical factors of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) patients in Saudi Arabia compared analyzed differences between with without lymph node metastasis (LNM). Papillary is a common cancer not usually detectable clinically but found incidentally after pathologic evaluation tissue following surgery for benign disorders. However, these tumors have significant risk LNM. <h3>Methods:</h3> All PTMC who underwent at King Abdulaziz University...
The American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR TI-RADS) stratifies patients with thyroid nodules for further evaluation. We evaluated the accuracy this risk stratification compared it that fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) final pathology. (n = 381) 329 (mean age, 45.5 y; 251 female) who underwent surgery from January 2021 to September 2023 were retrospectively analyzed ACR TI-RADS, FNAC, pathology results. categorized according malignancy as 75.9%...
<h3>Abstract</h3> Four U.S. National Football League teams required vaccination certification against the SARS-CoV-2 virus of attendees at home games during 2021 season. Using daily data on confirmed cases and vaccinations in counties surrounding these stadiums that did not require certification, this study estimates effects policy. Ordinary least squares regression was used to estimate change community spread after away relative weeks play (bye weeks). Compared metropolitan areas near with...
Pneumothorax (PTX) is defined as an abnormal accumulation of gas in the pleural space. There a potential development PTX during laparoscopy since insufflation used. Management options are available to control intraoperatively, and herein we describe new technique that can be implemented with unique features. A 32-year-old patient morbid obesity was scheduled for laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (AGB) removal sleeve gastrectomy (LSG). During AGB, hiatal hernia noticed. Dissection led PTX....
Concomitant surgery is an attractive option because of convenience. To our knowledge, this the first study reporting concomitant laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and right adrenalectomy. A retrospective review three patients with obesity a unilateral adrenal mass was conducted. The demographics, workup, surgical technique outcome were presented. Patient 1 had body index (BMI) 41 kg/m2, diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HTN) pheochromocytoma. 2 BMI 40 insulin-dependent DM,...

Background The application of fine needle aspiration (FNA) in parotid masses via the Milan System for Reporting Salivary Gland Cytopathology (MSRSGC) enhances diagnosis these lesions alongside radiological investigations. Objectives Our objective was to assess risk malignancy, sensitivity, specificity, and false positive negative results each category MSRSGC. Additionally, we assessed level agreement between FNA using MSRSGC post-resection histopathological diagnosis. Methods We conducted a...
