Abstract Background Diagnosis and management of non-obstetric abdominal pathologies during pregnancy are clinically challenging for both obstetricians general surgeons. Our aim was to evaluate the outcome pregnant patients who had undergone surgery. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 76 required surgery at our department from January 2005 December 2015. Data were collected medical records as well institutional perinatal database. evaluated data clinical presentation, perioperative...
Background Gastrointestinal complications following on-pump cardiac surgery are orphan but serious risk factors for postoperative morbidity and mortality. We aimed to assess incidence, perioperative factors, treatment modalities outcomes. Material methods A university medical center audit comprised 4883 consecutive patients (median age 69 [interquartile range IQR 60–76] years, 33% female, median logistic EuroScore 5 [IQR 3–11]) undergoing all types of including on the thoracic aorta; repair...
Prognostic factors like the CRP-to-albumin ratio (CAR) represent potential predictors for survival of pancreatic cancer patients. We aimed to investigate prognostic strength CAR overall patients with undergoing resection.Data from a total 202 adenocarcinoma who had undergone curative resection were subjected retrospective review. Overall was calculated according Kaplan-Meier method, and multivariate Cox regression analysis used calculating CAR.CAR an independent factor in univariate...
The purpose of this study is to review our results for pancreatic resection in patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) and without associated carcinoma.A total 54 undergoing IPMN a single university surgical center (Medical University Graz) were reviewed retrospectively. Their survival rates compared those ductal adenocarcinoma.Twenty-four exhibit non-invasive thirty invasive carcinoma. mean age 67 (+/-11) years, 43 % female. Surgical strategies include classical or...
Background: Oncological survival after resection of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (panNEN) is highly variable depending on various factors. Risk stratification with preoperatively available parameters could guide decision-making in multidisciplinary treatment concepts. C-reactive Protein (CRP) linked to inferior several malignancies. This study assesses CRP within a novel risk score predicting histology and outcome surgery for sporadic non-functional panNENs. Methods: A retrospective...
Portal vein resection represents a viable add-on option in standard pancreaticoduodenectomy for locally advanced ductal pancreatic adenocarcinoma, but is often underused as it may set patients at additional risk perioperative and postoperative morbidity mortality. We aimed to review our long-term experience determine the additive value of this intervention adenocarcinoma.Single, university surgical center audit over 13-year period; cohort comprised 221 consecutive undergoing resection; 47...
Die chirurgische Therapie von Tumorerkrankungen der Bauchspeicheldrüse erfordert komplexe operative Interventionen. Diese weisen mittlerweile eine signifikant reduzierte Mortalität (<5 %) auf, sind aber nach wie vor mit einer hohen Komplikationsrate (30–50 vergesellschaftet. Dabei zählen postoperative Pankreasfisteln, biliäre Komplikationen und Blutungen zu den schwerwiegendsten auch potenziell lebensbedrohlichsten Ereignissen. Gezielte Maßnahmen können die Morbiditäts- Mortalitätsrisiken...
Background/Aim: The liver is a frequent site for metastases of colorectal cancer. Approximately 15% patients have hepatic at the time diagnosis and another 50% develop them over course their disease. Only 10-25% are candidates resection. aim this study was to assess benefit preoperative computed tomography (CT)-guided wire marking disappearing (CRLMs) (radiological disappearance metastases) before surgical Patients Methods: Between January 2011 2014, 20 with potentially CRLMs were selected...
Abdominalchirurgische Eingriffe in der Schwangerschaft stellen eine Herausforderung für Gynäkologen und Chirurgen dar. Ziel vorliegenden Studie war die Evaluierung Indikationen des geburtshilflichen perinatalen Outcome von Patientinnen, sich während einer abdominalchirurgischen Operation unterzogen.
With an incidence of approximately 1/100.000, pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasia (pNEN) are rare compared to ductal adenocarcinoma. Due biological and clinical heterogeneity optimal treatment remains a matter debate. Surgery is considered the gold standard for resectable disease, whereby definition resectability has substantially changed with advances in surgical oncology. Furthermore, strategies subgroups pNENs might deviate, some authors example suggesting upfront systemic chemotherapy G3...
