Introduction: Carcinoma showing thymous-like elements (CASTLE) is a rare tumor with only a few cases described in the scientific literature. The aim of the present review is to analyze the data available on the therapeutic options employed in CASTLE tumors and to outline the best surgical management to adopt.
Materials And Methods: English-language articles published from 1985 through November 2016, and related to CASTLE cases were retrieved using the Pubmed database and specific key-words.
Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of transthoracic endoscopic sympathectomy on plantar hyperhidrosis in patients operated on for upper limb hyperhidrosis.
Materials And Methods: From 2003 to 2011, 41 consecutive patients underwent videothoracoscopic T3-T4 sympathicotomy or T3-T4 ganglion block at our Unit for upper limb hyperhidrosis. Twenty-one (51%) were affected by palmar hyperhidrosis and 20 (49%) by palmar and axillary hyperhidrosis combined.
Aim: Rectal neoplasm excision is a challenging issue in gastrointestinal endoscopy and surgery. This technical note describes a hybrid method for the excision of challenging rectal neoplasms.
Method: The procedure consists of the combined use of classic endoscopy and transanal endoscopic microsurgical instrumentation for full-thickness removal of a recurrent rectal polyp in a patient who had previously undergone endoscopic excision of a Tis rectal adenocarcinoma, located behind the valve of Houston and 9 cm from the anal verge.
Introduction: We report a case of correction of an end colostomy prolapse with Delorme technique in an advanced stage oncologic patient to emphasize the clinical implications and advantages of this procedure.
Case Report: A 51-year-old male patient with a stage IV rectal adenocarcinoma underwent laparoscopy for a palliative end colostomy at our institution. Approximately 6 months later, a prolapse of the colostomy occurred during chemotherapeutic treatment.
