Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women. In 2014, it is estimated that there will be 232,670 new cases of breast cancer and an estimated 40,000 people will die of this disease. About 60.8% of breast cancer is diagnosed at the local stage, with a 5-year survival of 98.5%. In contrast, 5% of breast cancer cases are diagnosed with metastasis, with a 5-year survival of 25%.
Invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast, sometimes referred to as the infiltrating lobular carc
Background:
Obese (body mass index (BMI) >30kg/m2) patients undergoing ventral hernia repair (VHR), are known to have a greater risk of peri-operative morbidity, as well as recurrence. A laparoscopic approach is thought to reduce the possible complications associated with this cohort of patients. The aim of this study is to analyze the peri-operative complications and recurrence rates after laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR) in this specific population, in comparison to patients that hav
Introduction
Primary repair of hiatal hernias has a high rate of recurrence making the use of mesh for this procedure a valid alternative in order to reduce this rate.
Its indication, types, or technique to use are still manner of controversy.
Objectives
We present a consecutives case series of laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair using a single type of composite mesh ( PARIETEX, Covidien).
Methods
13 patients underwent laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair using a single type of composite mesh
Introduction:
Amyand’s hernia is an extremely rare condition in which the appendix is found in the inguinal hernia sac. The first report of Amyand’s hernia in 1735, was described in an 11-year-old boy with concurrent ruptured appendicitis. Since that time less than two hundred cases of Amyand’s hernia have been reported in the literature. In adults, the overall incidence of a normal appendix in the hernia sac is approximately 1%, whereas appendicitis in the hernia sac is approximately 0.1%. We
BACKGROUND/OBJETIVES Lumbar hernias are rare sumamentes LESS THAN 1% and reported rarely. Hernias that occur through the superior lumbar space or Grynfelt-Lesshaft, as this is more consistent and larger, often appear more frequently than those produced through the triangle of Petit. THE OBJECTIVE OF OUR JOB IS TO REPORT LAPAROSCOPIC MANAGEMENT OF A LUMBAR PETIT’S HERNIA.
