Evaluation of treatment delays in hepatopancreatico-biliary surgery during the first COVID-19 wave.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused oncological services worldwide to face unprecedented challenges resulting in treatment disruption for surgical patients. Hepatopancreatico-biliary (HPB) cancers are characterised by rapid disease progression. This study aims to assess delays in receiving surgery for this patient cohort during the first COVID-19 wave.

Acute diverticulitis in patients under 50 years of age.

Necrotizing fasciitis associated with primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma. A case report.

Unlabelled: Necrotizing fasciitis is a rapidly progressive and life-threatening infection of the deeper skin layers and subcutaneous tissues that moves along the facial planes.

Objectives: We present the rare case of a patient with necrotizing fasciitis associated with high malignancy b-cell lymphoma. Our purpose is to investigate the probable connection between the two pathologies and evaluate the importance of early surgical intervention.
