Abstract Background Surgery for locally advanced pancreatic cancer with arterial involvement of the hepatic artery, coeliac trunk and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) is highly controversial. In a retrospective review, benefits harms en bloc resection (AEBR) adenocarcinoma were analysed. Methods Patients divided into three groups: 29 patients who had AEBR (group 1), 449 no or reconstruction 2), 40 unresectable tumours underwent palliative bypass 3). Results Eighteen eight SMA. Additional...
Computed tomography and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography are core components of living donor liver transplant. Here, we described our 3-dimensional computed tomography-magnetic cholangiopancreatography, fusion-derived computer-assisted surgical planning system to evaluate its usefulness in full graft Among 17 consecutive left transplants, 14 were planned with the system. The allowed us estimate volume compliance, allowing for individualized size enlargement by means...
The objective of this study is to assess transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) as a surgical strategy for stage I rectal cancer. literature lacks level and II evidence the oncologic competence TEM. Three randomized controlled, one prospective, seven retrospective comparative studies were evaluated. End-points included perioperative outcomes, margin involvement, disease-free overall survival, recurrence. number patients with major (odds ratio (OR) = 0.24, 95% confidence interval (CI)...
Postoperative (PO) pain interferes with the recovery and mobilization of surgical patients. The impact educational status has not been studied adequately up to now.This prospective study involved 400 consecutive general surgery Various factors known be associated perception including were recorded as was preoperative postoperative analgesia requirements for 1(st) PO week. Based on status, we classified patients in 3 groups compared these main outcomes: i.e. analgesia.There 145 lower...
Klatskin tumor is a rare hepatobiliary malignancy whose outcome and prognostic factors are not clearly documented. Between April 1998 January 2007, 96 patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma underwent resection. Data were collected prospectively. Thirty-one variables evaluated for significance. There 40 trisectionectomies, hemihepatectomies, five central hepatectomies, 11 biliary resections. Thirty-seven (n = 37) required vascular reconstruction. 68 R0, 26 R1, two R2 Age (P 0.048), pT status...
To analyze retrospectively the records of 294 consecutive patients operated upon for gallbladder stones, to determine predictive factors synchronous common bile duct (CBD) stones and validate prospectively generated model.The prognostic estimation a biochemical test ultrasonography alone differentiate between absence presence choledocholithiasis was assessed using receiver operating characteristics curve analysis. Multivariate analysis employed discriminant establishment best model....
Abstract Background It was the aim of our study to establish a model for prediction lymph node metastases in superficial esophageal cancer. Methods We analyzed clinical and histopathological data 50 consecutive patients with pT1‐esophageal cancer who underwent oncological resection. Submucosal carcinomas (pT1b) were classified according sm levels 1–3. D2‐40 immunostaining investigated using ABC technique. In first step, we performed univariate analysis ( One‐way ANOVA : Sigma restricted...
