Intussusception in Adults: A Rare Etiology of Small Intestinal Obstruction.

Small intestinal obstruction is a common surgical emergency that has a wide range of underlying etiologies. The most frequent causes of small intestinal obstruction include adhesions, hernias, and malignancies. The diagnosis of small intestinal obstruction is primarily dependent on the clinical findings, but imaging investigations are crucial to confirm the diagnosis and evaluate the complications.

Lipoma of the Pancreas: A Rare Incidental Tumor.

Recent studies have shown a significant increase in the utilization of computed tomography (CT) scans in the emergency department for a broad spectrum of conditions. This had a significant impact on the identification of patients with serious pathologies in a timely manner. However, the overutilization of computed tomography scans leads to increased identification of incidental findings.

Staged surgical approach for metastatic GIST, how far should we go? Case report.

Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is an uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm that commonly arises from the stomach and proximal small intestine but can develop in any part of the gastrointestinal tract. The disease can range from primary localized to an advanced metastatic unresectable disease in up to 30% of patients. Usually, metastasis involves the liver, peritoneum, and occasionally the lungs.

Gallbladder cancer of two histological origins: A case report and review of literature.

Introduction And Importance: Carcinosarcoma is an extremely rare subtype of gallbladder cancer with a worldwide prevalence of less than 1%. Carcinosarcomas are composed of a mixture of epithelial and mesenchymal components. Preoperative diagnosis of carcinosarcoma is challenging considering the non-specific clinical presentation and radiological findings.

Management of Very Late Pancreatic Metastasis of Renal Cell Carcinoma 8 Years After Radical Nephrectomy: A Report of a Rare Case.

BACKGROUND The most common primary malignant neoplasm of the kidneys in adults is renal cell carcinoma (RCC), which originates inside the renal cortex and accounts for 80-85% of all primary renal neoplasms. RCCs can spread to many organs, including the liver, lungs, bones, and brain. Disease is quiescent until the late stages of disease in the vast majority of patients.

Successful Living-Donor Liver Transplantation With Intraoperative Endovascular Recanalization via Transsplenic Access in a Recipient With Grade III Portal Vein Thrombosis: A Case Report.

Extensive portosplenomesenteric thrombosis is regarded as a relative contraindication to liver transplantation because of the complexity of the surgical procedure. This report describes a case of living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for a patient with extensive portosplenomesenteric thrombosis, in whom portal flow was successfully restored by intraoperative transplenic portal vein and superior mesenteric vein stenting after surgical thrombectomy. The patient's liver function remained normal with a patent portal vein stent 6 months after LDLT, and Doppler ultrasonography demonstrated a normal wave form for portal flow.

Validation and Verification of Three-dimensional Systems in Laparoscopic Distal Pancreatectomy.

Aim: The three-dimensional (3D) visualization system has been introduced for the technical improvement of laparoscopic surgery, but clinical evidence for its usefulness is lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of a 3D system in laparoscopic surgery.

Patients And Methods: Between 2015 and 2016, a randomized controlled trial was performed on 61 patients who underwent laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy.

Clinical Features and Surveillance of Very Late Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence After Liver Transplantation.

BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess patterns of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after liver transplantation (LT) and to establish long-term surveillance protocols for late HCC recurrence. MATERIAL AND METHODS The 232 LT recipients experiencing subsequent HCC recurrence were categorized as Group 1, early recurrence (within 1 year of LT; n=117); Group 2, late recurrence (occurring in years 2-5; n=93); and Group 3, very late recurrence (after year 5; n=22). RESULTS Recurrence was detected by only elevated tumor marker levels in 11.

Management of very late peritoneal metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma 10 years after liver transplantation: Lessons from two cases.

Recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) 10 years after liver transplantation (LT) is very rare. Here, we present two cases of peritoneal metastasis of HCC that occurred 10 and 12 years after LT. A 77-year-old male who had undergone deceased-donor LT 10 years earlier showed slow progressive elevation of tumor marker levels over 6 months.

ALPPS in a patient with periductal infiltrating intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Associating Liver Partition and Portal vein ligation for Staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) is a novel method to prevent post-hepatectomy hepatic failure. We present a case of periductal infiltrating intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma undergone ALPPS, that was conducted as intraoperative choice instead of conducting preoperative portal vein embolization (PVE). A 65-year-old male patient was to undergo extended right posterior sectionectomy, but the operation plan was changed to conduct right hepatectomy with/without bile duct resection due to invasion of the right hepatic duct.

Clinico-pathological correlation of hepatic angiomyolipoma: a series of 23 resection cases.

Background: Angiomyolipomas are rare neoplasms of mesenchymal origin and are derived from perivascular epithelioid cells. They usually develop in the kidney and rarely in the liver. Due to their rarity, most hepatic angiomyolipomas have been misinterpreted as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or other hypervascular liver tumours on imaging studies.
