Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the effectiveness of laparoscopic versus open completion cholecystectomy in patients who previously had an incomplete open cholecystectomy, particularly focusing on outcomes related to residual gallstones.
  • - A retrospective analysis of 80 patients found that those undergoing laparoscopic surgery experienced shorter operation times, quicker recovery, and a lower rate of wound infections compared to those who had the open procedure.
  • - The research concludes that prior open surgery does not prevent the successful use of laparoscopic techniques and that laparoscopy offers superior perioperative results.

Background: Over the past few decades, the rate of Cesarean Section (CS) delivery has been rising rapidly and the prevalence of CS-associated complications including Abdominal Wall Endometriomas (AWE) increases with each additional operation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics, histopathological diagnostic role and surgical management of post-CS AWE through a retrospective case review.

Methods: We calculated the incidence of AWE and reviewed all the patients underwent surgical removal of Post-CS AWE during the period of 2012-2018 who were diagnosed, treated and followed up for 2-8 years at our tertiary hospital.

Introduction: Eccrine poroma is a benign adnexal neoplasm originating from epidermal sweat ducts mainly affecting the palmoplantar skin, buttock as a location of origin of poroma has rarely been reported, it is the first reported case of recurrent poroma in this site.

Presentation Of Case: We report an unusual case of eccrine poroma in the gluteal region of a 62 years old female associated with gluteal abscess, surgically excised with histologically clear margins, then recurred after one and half year with a given history of mild trauma.

Discussion: Given the uncommonness of these neoplasms, there stays a general lack of data on pathogenesis, atypical presentation, atypical sites, recurrence and risk of malignant transformation into porocarcinoma.

Purpose: Weight reduction can effectively improve nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is a constant companion of severe obesity. This study aimed to determine the effect of one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) on pathological liver changes in severely obese cases with NAFLD.

Methods: The present prospective research comprised 67 subjects with morbid obesity scheduled for OAGB during the period from February 2015 to August 2018.
