Resected colorectal cancer liver metastases : Prognostic study about 110 patients.

Introduction: The prognosis of hepatic metastases in colorectal cancers is constantly being improved at the cost of multidisciplinary care, allowing each patient to have an adapted strategy. The prognostic factors make it possible to recognize patients needing further treatment after resection and closer monitoring.

Objective: The aim of our study was to conduct a prognostic study to identify factors influencing survival at 5 years for patients operated of colorectal liver metastases.

[Laparoscopic colectomy versus colectomy performed via laparotomy in the treatment of non-metastatic colic adenocarcinomas].

Introduction: Laparoscopic colectomy is considered with increasing frequency the gold standard treatment for colorectal cancer. Our study aims to show that short-term results and the oncological safety of laparoscopy are at least equivalent to those of laparotomy in the treatment of non-metastatic colic adenocarcinomas. We also highlight the impact of the learning curve on outcomes after laparoscopy in patients with these cancers.

[Strangled rectal prolapse in young adults: about a case and review of the literature].

Rectal prolapse is a rectal static disorder which involves rectal wall intussusception inducing its externalization through the anus. It usually affects children and the elderly. Its occurrence in young adults is rare.

Open liver trauma causing hepatico caval fistula successfully treated by embolization.

Introduction: Traumatic arteriovenous fistula results from a breach of vascular integrity between a vein and an adjacent artery. Hepato caval fistula is a rare entity. Open surgical approaches have increasingly given way to radiological embolization techniques in the treatment of these arteriovenous fistulae, especially in intrahepatic locations.
