Complete mesocolic excision (CME) in right-sided colon cancers appears to confer oncological benefits compared conventional colectomy. Identification of the superior mesenteric vein (SMV) remains challenging. We describe novel use intra-operative robotic ultrasound scan (rUSS) obese patients (BMI ≥ 29). All consecutive having CME for cancer between 2014 and 2017 were included this retrospective cohort study. Data recorded on an ethics approved prospective database patient demographics,...

A 52-year-old woman, who is a carrier of MLH-1 mutation (HNPCC-type Lynch syndrome) with history colon adenocarcinoma, was diagnosed 26 mm lobulated contrast-capturing mass located caudally the pancreas tail, anteromedial spleen and medial splenic angle. She underwent an exploratory laparotomy resection tumor. Initially, this presumed to be metastasis in patient adenocarcinoma. However, after further histopathological immunohistochemical examination, appeared rare PEComa. Only few cases...

Introduction: Current guidelines recommend a ventilation rate during resuscitation of 10/min to prevent inhibition venous return leading lower survival. We studied and airway pressures prospectively in intubated prehospital patients. Methods: The study was approved by the Ethics Committee. In 40 patients undergoing out-of-hospital 19 without cardiac arrest, pressure measured at proximal end endotracheal tube using custom-made device with sensors, amplifiers logger. Manual performed bag...
