Abstract Penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) spreads predictably from primary tumour to inguinal lymph nodes then pelvic and finally, distant sites. Inguinal dissection involves resection of all femoral is part the recommended management. Femoral hernias are a commonly reported consequence these extensive dissections. This case describes an unusual hernia which developed lateral vessels. A 68 year old man presented with penile SCC distal glans penis underwent bilateral ilioinguinal node...
Abstract Background Melanoma of the ear accounts for approximately 1% cutaneous melanomas. Management recommendations are based on small retrospective series and case reports. Resection melanoma requires a delicate balance between disease clearance, preservation function, aesthetics. The role cartilage resection in wide excision remains unclear. We aimed to compare outcomes patients having who had resected with those cartilage-sparing approach. Methods Data were obtained from Institute...
Background and purpose: Testing for breast cancer-associated genetic mutations has traditionally been performed in Australia after the patient's initial surgery, likely due to lengthy period required receive results. Recent advances testing now allows 'rapid' where a result can be provided 30 days or earlier, allowing treatment-focused prior surgery that used guide management decisions, including decision perform mastectomy rather than conserving as well prophylactic contralateral...
In the context of colorectal cancer, splenic and ovarian metastases are rare outside widely disseminated disease. Growing evidence suggests that 'oligometastatic' or limited metastatic disease can be treated surgically with good oncological outcomes. Splenic not well represented in studies oligometastatic resulting uncertainty best management for these patients. We present case a 78-year-old woman diagnosed cancer to bilateral ovaries spleen, 5 years after resection primary colon cancer. The...
Abstract Background Chronic pain after minimally invasive inguinal hernia repair with mesh can have debilitating effects on quality of life (QOL), limiting daily activities and ability to work. Many medical surgical options for treatment been proposed, however there is no consensus the role explantation in management these patients. Methods We performed a retrospective review all patients who underwent groin removal by robotic or laparoscopic approach from July 2012 2023 at our institution....
BACKGROUND: Pelvic mucosal melanomas, including anorectal and urogenital are rare aggressive with a median overall survival of up to 20 months. melanomas behave differently its cutaneous counterparts presents late locoregional disease, making pelvic exenteration only curative surgical option. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed evaluate the outcomes post in at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. DESIGN: Retrospective case series from prospectively collected database October 1994 November 2023. SETTING:...
Goldstone et al. should be congratulated for presenting the first meta-analysis to assess differences in all-cause mortality between watchful waiting versus early surgery asymptomatic patients with severe degenerative mitral regurgitation (1). The topic is controversial, and article timely context of recent changes American College Cardiology/American Heart Association Guidelines (2).
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is the standard of care for axillary staging in patients with clinically negative early breast cancer, reducing need dissection (ALND) and its associated risks. Intra-operative frozen section a method rapid pathological assessment sentinel to identify presence metastatic disease potentially avoid second operation patient who will require an dissection. A retrospective review prospectively collected cancer database was performed. All underwent SLNB and/or...
