Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FL-HCC) is a rare variant of carcinoma, has distinct pathologic features, and typically occurs in young patients without underlying hepatitis or cirrhosis.Forty-one with the diagnosis FL-HCC evaluated at our institution between 1986 2003 were identified from prospective database.Median age all was 27 years. None these had cirrhosis, only 3 (7%) an alpha-fetoprotein level > 200 ng/mL. Twenty-eight primary disease underwent complete gross resection, 13...
Transanal endoscopic microsurgery is a faster and safer alternative to traditional surgical treatment of adenomas low-risk (T1) rectal tumors. However, although overall survival appears similar, transanal has been shown have higher recurrence rates.The aim this study was investigate the management patients with local after evaluate their long-term outcome.This retrospective review medical records.Patients were treated at large tertiary-care hospital in Rome, Italy, between 1990 2011.Of 298...
Analysis of 498 patients with colorectal carcinoma was retrospectively reviewed to evaluate the incidence, risk factors and therapy local recurrent following curative resection. Complete follow-up information obtained in all but four (99.2%). After a median follow up 42 months, 64 out 469 (13.6%) developed recurrence (LR). The incidence LR higher rectal than colon cancer (18.3% vs 8.9%) (P < 0.005). Separate univariate Cox analyses for showed tumor site 0.02). Dukes stage 0.002), adjuvant...
Routine drainage after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is still debatable. The present study was designed to assess the role of drains in performed for nonacutely inflamed gallbladder. After gallbladder removal, 53 patients were randomized have a suction drain positioned subhepatic space and sham drain. primary outcome measure presence fluid collection at abdominal ultrasonography, 24 h surgery. Secondary measures postoperative shoulder tip pain, use analgesics, nausea, vomiting, morbidity....
Reflux esophagitis may result from the action of both acid and non-acid agents. The aim this study was to test a new system able measure quantity bilirubin contained in esophageal lumen. analysis reflux composition conducted two phases. In first bile pancreatic enzyme, concentration 136 fluid samples obtained with ambulatory long-term aspiration were measured. For second, total content each sample measured vitro fiberoptic probe (Bilitec 2000, Synetics Medical Inc., Sweden). Studies...
Local excision, as an alternative to radical resection for patients with pathological complete response (ypT0) after preoperative chemoradiation, is under investigation.The aim of the present study was evaluate long-term clinical outcome a selected group ypT0 rectal cancer who underwent local excision transanal endoscopic microsurgery definitive treatment.Between 1993 and 2013, 43 adenocarcinoma full-thickness procedure regimen chemoradiation. In all patients, wall penetration preoperatively...
Introduction The present study aimed to compare the long-term results of transanal haemorrhoidal dearterialisation (THD) with mucopexy and stapler haemorrhoidopexy (SH) in treatment grade III IV haemorrhoids. Methods One hundred twenty-four patients haemorrhoids were randomised receive THD (n=63) or SH (n=61). A telephone interview a structured questionnaire was performed at median follow-up 42 months. primary outcome occurrence recurrent prolapse. Patients, investigators those assessing...
We compared the results of 327 transthoracic (TT) resections and 82 transhiatal (TH) for carcinoma oesophagus operated on between July 1982 June 1991. Significantly more patients with lower third (54% versus 28%) increased pulmonary risks surgery (61% 22%) were selected TH approach as TT approach. Results showed comparable intraoperative complications two groups. 5% in group required a thoracotomy control haemorrhage (3 patients) repair bronchial tear (1 patient) which occurred during...
