Article Synopsis
- The study assesses factors affecting renal allograft survival, emphasizing the role of immunologic factors and the experience of a consistent surgical team.
- During a 22-year period, 575 renal transplant operations were analyzed, focusing on donor and recipient demographics, immunologic characteristics, and survival rates.
- Results indicate that donor age significantly impacts renal graft survival, while the presence of panel reactive antibodies post-transplantation has a notable effect on long-term outcomes, despite HLA mismatches showing no correlation with survival.
Intestinal neurofibromatosis and small-bowel adenocarcinoma: a single case study.
Eur J Cancer Care (Engl)
September 2009
Patients with Von Recklinghausen's disease (neurofibromatosis type 1) are at increased risk of developing various tumours. However, the coexistence of neurofibromatosis with small-bowel adenocarcinoma is exceedingly rare. We present an uncommon case of neurofibromatosis type 1, involving the small bowel in a 73-year-old man, who was admitted to our department with signs of acute abdomen.

Methods: We used histopathological reports of thyroidectomies performed in a Greek general district hospital. The samples consisted of 191 thyroidectomies performed between January 1997 and July 2001.
Background And Objectives: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is increasingly being used as an appropriate early treatment in patients with cholecystitis. This study evaluated the safety, effectiveness, and complications of LC in all cases of acute cholecystitis.
Methods: A retrospective study involved the patients who underwent LC for acute cholecystitis within 72 hours of admission.
Purpose: Hepatic hydatid cysts (HHCs) are a parasitic infestation caused by several species of Echinococcus. We examined the clinical features of HHCs and evaluated the results of various surgical procedures.
Methods: One hundred and sixty-nine patients aged between 17 and 84 years underwent surgery for HHCs within a 12-year period.
