<h3>Background:</h3> There is little information available to inform choice of technique for appendiceal stump control in pediatric laparoscopic appendectomy (LA). We compared complications (stump leak, intra-abdominal abscess formation [IAA], surgical site infection [SSI]) children undergoing LA perforated (PA) and nonperforated appendicitis (NPA) by control. <h3>Methods:</h3> All who underwent confirmed acute between 2006 2009 were reviewed.

The vast majority of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) are treated successfully surgery and radioactive iodine ablation, yet the treatment advanced cases is frustrating largely ineffective. Systemic conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy basically ineffective in most DTC.

We aim to delineate latest knowledge...
