In some centers, the presence of a senior general surgeon (SGS) is obligatory in every procedure, including appendectomy, while others it not. There relative paucity literature reports comparing outcomes appendectomies performed by unsupervised surgery residents (GSRs) with those an SGS.To compare SGSs GSRs.A retrospective analysis was all patients 16 years or older operated on for assumed acute appendicitis between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2015. The cohort study compared GSRs...

Robotic-assisted surgery has been a part of surgical procedures for more than two decades. Recently new robotic platforms with different design entered the market. The modular independent arms enables increased flexibility arm docking to increase range motion and instrument maneuverability. We herein present first case series inguinal hernia repair using Hugo RAS system (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA).Thirteen repairs were performed on ten patients. A description as well concept is...

Background: Recurrence of dysphagia following myotomy for achalasia poses clinical and diagnostic challenges. Postmyotomy esophageal diverticula is a rare disorder, usually developing due to inadequate myotomy, resulting in dysphagia. We herein present new entity after successful complete which causes mimics recurrence achalasia. Methods: A review the prospectively maintained database all patients with between January 2012 June 2024 was performed. Demographic, data, diagnosis, treatment,...

Modernly, abdominal surgery has shifted to minimally invasive techniques with an inclination towards fewer incisions. This made intra-abdominal retraction more challenging. Despite development in retracting instrumentation for solid organs, the mobilization of bowel remains challenging due its friable nature. Therefore, there is a need investigate safety profile internal retractors such as EndoGrab small-bowel retraction. Twenty locations small were selected two pigs. The studied iatrogenic...

Background: Trans-anal total mesorectal excision (Ta-TME) is a novel approach for the resection of rectal cancer. Low anterior syndrome (LARS) frequent functional disorder that might follow restorative proctectomy. Data regarding bowel function after Ta-TME are scarce. The aim this study was to evaluate incidence and risk factors development LARS following Ta-TME. Methods: A prospectively maintained database all patients who underwent cancer at our institution reviewed. All were operated on...

Hiatal hernia (HH) is a common disorder of the upper gastrointestinal (UGI) tract that general surgeons encounter. Giant paraesophageal subtype HH in which more than 30% stomach located chest. It can cause symptoms such as dysphagia, UGI bleeding, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and vomiting. As life expectancy population increases, incidence giant increases morbidity, including recurrent admissions prolonged length hospitalization. In this article, we describe cohort nonagenarian patients...

BACKGROUND:Behcet’s disease (BD) is defined as vasculitis involving arteries and veins of any size affecting almost organ system. Abdominal manifestations BD are diverse nonspecific. Mucosal ulcerations can be seen in the gastrointestinal tract. Extensive ulcerations, especially ileocecal lesions, lead to perforation, strictures, fistulas, abscesses. Pneumatosis cystoides intestinale a rare benign condition characterized by multiple submucosal or subserosal, gas-filled cysts tract wall. coli...

Traumatic pancreatic injury (TPI) is rare as an isolated injury. There a trend to perform conservative treatment even in patients with complete duct dissection and successful treatment. This study reviewed our 20 years of experience the management TPI assessed patient outcomes according age group strategy.A retrospective analysis diagnosed treated at level-I trauma center from 2000-2019. Patients were divided into two groups: adults pediatrics. Conservative cases subjected subgroup analysis....

Abstract The docking process is a crucial step in robotic surgery, which determines the technical capability of moving arms during surgery and affects performance surgery. Robotic companies, therefore, provide setup guides recommending trocar placement, arm carts, operating table positioning for each procedure or body quadrant, to facilitate this process. This takes time although improves with experience, reported times range from 4 29 min. final robot sometimes challenging includes...
