Abdominal Wall Reconstruction Using Omental Flap with Mesh Repair following Resection of Aggressive Abdominal Wall Neoplasms.

Background: Resection of large anterior abdominal wall tumors causes large full-thickness abdominal wall defects, and the repair of these defects remains a challenging point.

Methods: Between July 2016 and February 2021, we retrospectively reviewed the internal database registry of the Oncology Center, Mansoura University (OCMU), Egypt, for patients with large abdominal wall defects after abdominal wall tumors resection and repair with omental flaps and synthetic polypropylene (PP) mesh. Thirty-two patients met the inclusion criteria.

Endoscopic Cervical Lymph Node Dissection Using the Extra-cervical Anterior Chest Wall Approach: A New Technique.

Introduction: This study aims to demonstrate the safety, surgical feasibility, and esthetic features of total endoscopic neck dissection (END) through anterior chest wall approach (ACWA) without creation of any neck incisions. Resection of their primary tumors followed by selective total END through ACWA using 3 ports (one 10-mm port for the camera and two 5-mm ports for the working instruments).

Methods: From January 2020 to August 2020, 6 patients with a biopsy proven head and neck carcinoma underwent resection of their primary tumors followed by selective total END through ACWA using 3 ports (one 10-mm port for the camera and two 5-mm ports for the working instruments).
