Obesity and rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery is associated with, the development of cholelithiasis related complications. Several algorithms have been suggested in management asymptomatic gallstones patients presenting for (WLS). Charts laparoscopic Roux-en-Y (LRYGB) were retrospectively reviewed. Concomitant or delayed cholecystectomies performed symptomatic disease at time LRYGB, respectively. A total 1376 underwent LRYGB 21.0 per cent had a history cholecystectomy. An additional...
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has become an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreaticobiliary pathology. ERCP patients that have undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is particularly challenging because traditional transoral endoscopy may be limited. We present our experience with after RYGB review literature. In 2007 eight underwent using open or laparoscopic transgastric access. After introduction pneumoperitoneum, a total four ports were...
Neoadjuvant therapy followed by breast-conserving surgery has become an acceptable option for patients with locally advanced breast cancer. Although a distinct survival benefit not been demonstrated using this approach, several questions have raised following such including its effects on receptor status and tumor markers. The current study retrospectively reviews estrogen (ER), progesterone (PR), HER2-neu in 55 consecutive treated neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Preoperative postoperative markers...
Lymph node status remains the most important prognostic indicator for breast cancer. Recent reports have established that accuracy of assessing lymph is proportional to number nodes dissected. The axillary staging following neoadjuvant chemotherapy has been cited as a technical concern due limited retrieval. current study attempts evaluate ability perform sentinel biopsy (SNB) and formal dissection (AND) compare these results with non-neoadjuvant patients. One hundred sixteen consecutive...
Hepatic metastases due to colorectal carcinoma have often been felt preclude pulmonary metastasectomy. With the recent advances in surgical options, should patients with both liver and lung be considered for resection? The current study reviews impact of such aggressive management on disease-free overall survival (OS). clinical course 63 presenting metastasis alone (group 1, n = 45) or combined hepatic 2, 18) were reviewed. All underwent complete resection their metastases. Surgical control...
Few data exist in regard to long-term and functional outcome after ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) repair. The present study provides such follow-up defines the impact of variables used grade resuscitation efforts [base deficit (BD) core temperature (cT)]. One hundred forty-seven patients presenting with rAAA were retrospectively reviewed. Overall perioperative mortality was 35 per cent (51/147) mean age 72 years. Survival available for 99 a median 45 months. Life table analysis...
Few studies have attempted to critically identify patient- and tumor-related factors that limit sentinel node biopsy (SNB). These been limited by sample size surgeon variability. The present study attempts enumerate these limitations in a unique group of patients. One hundred twenty-five SNBs performed single between May 1997 June 2001 were reviewed. Overall SNB was successful 96 per cent patients with 97 correlation the axillary dissection. Sentinel identification not affected age, tumor...
Background: Cytotoxic drugs suppress ovarian function and induce permanent or transient amenorrhea in one- to two-thirds of women. Suppression is effective therapy for premenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Aromatase inhibition postmenopausal cancer, but not indicated Objective: We aim determine whether, how long, estrogen production persists after chemotherapy-induced amenorrhea. Materials & methods: Serum estradiol, follicle-stimulating luteinizing levels were...
