Neuroendocrine tumors are neoplasms that originate from the cells of the neuroendocrine system; depending on the site of origin, hormonal production and differentiation can present an extensive clinical behavior; the clinical manifestations include episodic flushing, wheezing, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and eventual right-sided heart failure.
These tumors can be found in a range of organs; most of them, nearly 90%, occur within the gastrointestinal tract, the most common sites of primary disease
Key words: Gall Bladder, Incidental gallbladder cancer; Laparoscopic cholecystectomy .
Background:
Carcinoma of the gallbladder is the fifth most common gastrointestinal malignancy (and the most common of the biliary tract) and is usually discovered accidentally. Gallbladder carcinoma is diagnosed pathologically in 0.3-1.5% of cholecystectomy specimens.
AIM and Objectives:
To evaluate the impact of incidental gallbladder cancer on surgical experience and to establish the overall rate of gall
Background The studies on laparoscopic central pancreatectomy (LCP) versus open central pancreatectomy (OCP) have not been presented in the literature to date. This study aimed to compare perioperative outcomes of patients undergoing LCP and OCP and to assess the pancreatic function after LCP.
Methods A retrospective study was performed for patients who underwent LCP or OCP between 1997 and 2013. The patients’ demographic data, operative results, pathological reports, hospital courses, morbidit
Background
Controversy exists among surgeons whether wrapping and buttressing of the diaphragm reduce rate the of recurrence of paraesophageal/hiatal hernia (HH), in comparison to simple primary repair of the diaphragm. From 2010 to 2013, 87 laparoscopic hiatal hernia repairs (HHR) were performed, 26 with wrapping and buttressing, and 61 just with primary repair of the diaphragm. We propose primary repair of the diaphragm is sufficient to reduce rate of recurrence to levels rivaling paraesophag
Purpose :To find out which is more satisfactory to the patients external fixation or internal fixation
Background: Tapp with external fixation is a new technique in which there is a marked reduction in the cost without affecting the outcome.
Methods: In 80 patients the mesh were fixed from the interior using staples while in the other 80 patients it is fixed to the exterior using prolene threads ( Abdelhamid Technique) .
Patients :A prospective study for laparoscopic TAPP inguinal
