Esophageal perforations are surgical emergencies associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. No single strategy has been sufficient to deal the majority of situations. We aim postulate a therapeutic algorithm for this complication based on 20 years experience also data from published literature. performed retrospective clinical review 44 patients treated esophageal perforation at our hospital between January 1989 May 2008. reviewed characteristics these patients, including age,...

We aimed to investigate the correlation of maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) with pathological characteristics primary tumor and determine a Tumor/ Lymph node (T/LN) SUVmax ratio predicting metastasis lymph nodes in NSCLC patients. Eighty-one patients who had PET/CT examination at initial staging subsequently underwent surgical resection were retrospectively evaluated. There 100 positive mediastinal or hilar stations.

We compared 56 consecutive patients (32 male and 24 female, mean age: 56.64±12.61 years), who had undergone Ivor–Lewis esophagectomy esophageal carcinoma between January 2005 May 2009. Among them, from April 2007, 27 (group 1) were operated on with conventional clamp-and-tie technique, whereas 2007 2009, 29 2) underwent total cancer LVSS. Both groups operation duration, amount...
