Abstract Background Pelvic exenteration for locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC) is associated with variable outcomes, the majority of data from single-centre series. This study analysed an international collaboration to determine robust parameters that could inform clinical decision-making. Methods Anonymized on patients who had pelvic LRRC between 2004 and 2014 were accrued 27 specialist centres. The primary endpoint was survival. impact resection margin, bone resection, node status use...
Appendiceal neuroendocrine neoplasms (ANEN) are mostly indolent tumours treated effectively with simple appendectomy. However, controversy exists regarding the necessity of oncologic right hemicolectomy (RH) in patients histologic features suggestive more aggressive disease. We assess effects current guidelines selecting surgical strategy (appendectomy or RH) for management ANEN. Methods/Aims: This is a retrospective review all ANEN cases over 14-year period at 3 referral centres and their...
BackgroundPelvic exenteration for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) and recurrent (LRRC) is technically challenging but increasingly performed in specialist centres. The aim of this study was to compare outcomes over time.
Abstract Aim Tailgut cysts are rare congenital lesions typically presenting as presacral masses. A variable clinical presentation often leads to misdiagnosis and unsuccessful operations. Method retrospective analysis was performed of tailgut one surgeon at St Mark's hospital between 2003 2013. The patient demographic data clinicopathological radiological features, together with perioperative details recurrence, were reviewed. Results total 17 patients (15 women) a median age 35 (21–64) years...
An aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA), a congenital vascular anomaly, can cause significant esophageal compression, leading to condition known as dysphagia lusoria (DL). We present the case of 44-year-old man with progressively worsening and odynophagia over last six months, resulting in severe weight loss dietary restrictions. Imaging techniques revealed stenosis caused by external compression from an ARSA arising posterior wall distal aortic arch, accompanied Kommerell's diverticulum....
Pull-through with colo-anal sleeve anastomosis may be used as a last resort to avoid permanent diversion in patients complex rectal conditions. This procedure allows the preservation of intestinal continuity by minimizing hazards deep dissection an inflamed and fibrosed pelvis.A retrospective study was performed pull-through procedures carried out between January 1998 December 2012 at St Mark's Hospital one surgeon. Patients were identified from operative logbooks their case notes reviewed....
Fibroblast activation protein (FAP), a selective for tumor stromal fibroblasts, is expressed in >90% of human epithelial carcinomas. A characteristic feature pancreatic cancer an extensive fibrotic or desmoplastic reaction surrounding the primary tumor. The present study aimed to evaluate expression levels FAP and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) determine their correlation adenocarcinoma. Confocal laser scanning microscopy conventional immunohistochemical analysis were used...
Pouch excision is required for many of those patients experiencing pouch failure in whom ileostomy alone inadequate and revision surgery not appropriate. The published rate approximately 10% at 10 years, resulting a growing cohort requiring excision.In this article, we aim to describe the indications postoperative outcomes our center since 2004.This retrospective observational study.This study was conducted tertiary referral ileal dysfunction. Cases were documented from 2004 2017.The...
Pedunculated hepatocellular carcinoma (P-HCC) has rarely been reported and is characteristically large encapsulated. Only sporadic cases have published, in which P-HCC was combined with other liver tumors (mostly benign), making the diagnosis difficult. We report a patient who admitted to our hospital clinical features of intestinal obstruction palpable mass right iliac fossa. Ultrasound, computed tomography magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an encapsulated unclear origin...
Abstract Primary carcinoma of the male urethra accounts for less than 1% malignancies in men. Mucinous adenocarcinoma is extremely rare, and its biologic behavior poorly understood. We present herein a rare case mucinous urethral patient with longstanding ulcerative colitis multiple sclerosis. The presented voluminous pelvic mass; core biopsy lesion demonstrated mucus-producing adenocarcinoma. Given patient's history subtotal colectomy, preoperative diagnosis was oriented towards rectal...
Laparoscopic colectomy is a procedure which being performed for three decades and gaining popularity continuously over the traditional open colectomy. This study was conducted in order to compare postoperative oncologic results based on several factors laparoscopic right colon cancer.This retrospective of at single institution from 2015 until 2020. The that were studied included values C-reactive protein (CRP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine phosphokinase (CPK), number excised lymph...
