Introduction : Hemorrhoidal disease is a common problem that arises when hemorrhoidal structures become engorged and/or prolapse through the anal canal. Both conservative and invasive treatment options are diverse guidance to their implementation lacking. Methods A Delphi consensus process was used review current literature draft relevant statements.

Vascular graft infection is associated with a high morbidity and mortality rate. Diagnosis difficult, as there no single diagnostic criterion that has 100% accuracy. A combination of physical examination, laboratory tests, several imaging techniques mandatory. Beside wide range indications in the oncological field, positron emission tomography (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG-PET) well-known role diagnosis bone soft-tissue infections. Some authors have recently reported on potential use FDG-PET...
Anal fistula is one of the most common anal diseases, affecting between 1 and 3 per 10 000 people year. Symptoms have a potentially severe effect on patient's quality life. Surgery mainstay treatment, aiming to cure preserve sphincter function. Rectal advancement flap (RAF) currently gold standard treatment but has recurrence rates varying 20% 50% might lead disturbance continence. The aim trial described in this work discover if minimally invasive tract laser closure (FiLaC™) technique...
Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) remains the gold standard procedure in obesity surgery and is mostly performed young women of reproductive age. Since worldwide prevalence increasing fertility improves after surgery, more complications pregnant population will emerge. The differential diagnosis acute abdominal pain patients with a history rather broad includes mainly anastomotic ulcers, leaks, small bowel obstructions.

Objective: We would like to present a patient with history of ulcerative colitis suffering from synchronous rectal and prostate cancer treated laparoscopic total proctocolectomy (with TaTME) Retzius sparing RARP simultaneously.Methods: bilateral lymph node harvesting was performed first. Afterwards, TaTME commenced the placement Lonestar® retractor GelPort®. Anterior dissection troubled unexpectedly by outspoken fibrosis. For that reason, it completed laparoscopically. then continued...

Introduction: Many different approaches for the repair of a perineal hernia (PH) after abdomino-perineal rectum amputation (APR) have been described throughout years. Literature shows us that use mesh had best results with relatively low rates recurrence compared to primary suture. Yet there is still no consensus on technique fixation in cavity.Methods: We want introduce an addition surgical technique, using laparoscopic glue ensure solid mesh. This prevent small bowel from sliding into area...
