Laparoscopic natural orifice specimen extraction colectomy versus conventional laparoscopic colorectal resection in patients with rectal endometriosis: a randomized, controlled trial.

Background: The conventional laparoscopic approach for the surgical management of deep endometriosis (DE) infiltrating the rectum appears to ensure improved digestive functional outcomes. The natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) technique for the treatment of colorectal DE can significantly accelerate postoperative recovery; however, data on gastrointestinal function following conventional laparoscopic segmental bowel resection (CLR) compared with NOSE colectomy (NC) for DE are sparse.

Materials And Methods: Between 30 September 2019 and 31 December 2020, a randomized, open-label, two-arm, parallel-group controlled trial with women aged 18-45 years was conducted at University Hospital.

[Laparoscopic treatment of deeply infiltrating colorectal endometriosis - ten years of single center experience].

Introduction: Deep infiltrating endometriosis penetrates the peritoneal surface beneath 5 mm. The bowel is affected in 3-37% of the cases.

Objective: The aim of the authors was to analyze the results of the surgical procedures performed for bowel endometriosis.

Diagnostic accuracy of the IDEA protocol for non invasive diagnosis of rectosigmoid DE - a prospective cohort study.

Objectives:  To test the accuracy of TVS applying the IDEA approach for suspected rectosigmoid DE and to determine the frequency of other pelvic diseases mimicking DE in patients undergoing surgery.

Materials Und Methods:  Prospective single center observational study including consecutive women undergoing TVS for clinically suspected rectosigmoid DE followed by conservative or surgical therapy. TVS findings were compared with those obtained by laparoscopy and confirmed histologically.

Low anterior resection syndrome following different surgical approaches for low rectal endometriosis: A retrospective multicenter study.

Introduction: There is increasing evidence that intermediate and long-term bowel dysfunction may occur as a consequence of radical surgery for rectal deep endometriosis (DE). Typical symptoms include constipation, feeling of incomplete evacuation, clustering of stools, and urgency. This is described in the colorectal surgical literature as low anterior resection syndrome (LARS).

Gamma-Synuclein Levels Are Elevated in Peritoneal Fluid of Patients with Endometriosis.

BACKGROUND The role of gamma-synuclein (SNCG) has been widely examined in malignant conditions due to its possible role in disease progression, but very little information is available on its theoretical function on endometriosis formation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between January 2016 and December 2016, we collected peritoneal fluid and plasma samples from 45 consecutive female patients, of which 15 were without endometriosis, 15 had minimal to mild endometriosis, and 15 had moderate to severe endometriosis. The statistical power was 0.

[The effect of surgical treatment of bowel endometriosis on fertility].

Bowel endometriosis is when endometrial-like tissue penetrates the bowel serosa, or it reaches the subserous neurovascular plexus. The effect of surgery for colorectal endometriosis on infertility and pregnancy is not fully proven. The aim of the present study was to analyse the pregnancy outcome and mode of delivery of patients who underwent 'nerve sparing' anterior resection of the colon.

[Measuring residents' and specialists' laparoscopic technique with the MENTOR® training box].

Introduction: Operating room is not the ideal place to acquire laparoscopic skills since patients can be put at risk and it is also relatively expensive. Using training boxes seems to be a more appropriate way of teaching and learning the technique, but there is little data about measuring the technique of experienced specialists and comparing their results with residents.

Methods: At the 1st Department of Surgery, Semmelweis University we tested 30 residents and 25 specialists in general surgery and urology on MENTOR® training box.

[Metal artefact on head and neck cone-beam CT images].

There are only a few factors, where the properties of the CBCT is inferior compared to conventional CT. One of these properties is the low contrast resolution, which has an importance in the discrimination of different soft tissues. Another difference is the image quality degrading effect by metal objects.

[Measurement of periapical pressure created by occlusal loading].

The aim of this study was to develop an in vitro model in which the pressure in the periapical tissues can be measured during loading. Extracted human maxillary central incisors were embedded into resin blocks that had physical characteristics similar to bone and periodontal ligament. Each tooth was loaded with 20, 40, 50, 60, 75, 85, 100, 200, 300 and 450 N vertical forces from the incisal edge of the crown; this procedure was carried out three consecutive times.

[The role of scintigraphy in the diagnosis of mandibular bone changes].

Investigating the scintigraphic images of jaws may have a diagnostic value of bone alterations of dental origin. Anterior view of whole body bone scintigraphy revealed hot spot on jaws of 61% (279) of patients. Twenty-six patients (mean age 58.

[Mathematical description of the three-dimensional axis of the root canal of human teeth].

The objective of the present study was to describe root canal axes of natural human teeth mathematically. Two views (clinical and proximal) radiographs were taken from extracted human teeth. Geometry defines the 90-degree turn-around image pairs as Monge images.

[Mathematical classification of root canal curvature of human teeth].

Endodontic research requires a mathematically based classification method of root canal forms. The aim of this study was to give a mathematical description of root canal forms using differential geometrical pattern analysis and computer graphics. The measurements of 433 extracted human roots were carried out on isometric radiographs taken from clinical view.

[Extent of microleakage in relation to root canal morphology].

The purpose of this study was to study with standardized methods the length and extent of the microleakage developing around the root canal fillings. The preparational errors were evaluated in twenty straight and curved root canal using computer graphic analysis. The step back technique was used for root canal preparation.

[Sealing effectiveness of root canal fillings pretreated with Gluma Dentin Bond].

The root canals of 41 extracted human teeth with single canal were shaped using hand instruments. The canal walls of test roots [22] were pretreated with Gluma resin. All of the canals were filled using the same method.

[Comparative evaluation of different instruments for root canal preparation tested on extracted human teeth III. Study of sonic and ultrasonic instruments].

A total of 460 roots of extracted human teeth were divided into three groups i.e. straight, apically curved and entirely curved groups.

[Nicolas Dobo and Pierre Jame about the army medical general Lucian Jame].

Lucien Jame was born October the 20th 1891 at Gourdon (Lot). State Police Officer's son, he studied in Lyon at the Military Health School. Called up August the 6th 1914, he shined among many fights and wore a lot of medals.

[In vitro comparative study of instruments for root canal preparation. IV. Correlations between the original shape of the root canal and the asymmetry resulting from the preparation].

Certain asymmetry of root canal preparation can be observed in the straight root canal group, as well. The modification of original root canal shape in this group usually is not substantial. Using hand instruments for shaping curved canals special tecniques are required to minimize the asymmetry.
