Long splenic flexure carcinoma requiring laparoscopic extended left hemicolectomy with CME and transverse-rectal anastomosis: technique for a modified partial Deloyers in 5 steps to achieve enough reach and preserving middle colic vessels.

Introduction: This How-I-Do-It article presents a modified Deloyers procedure by mean of the case of a 67-year-old female with adenocarcinoma extending for a long segment and involving the splenic flexure and proximal descending colon who underwent a laparoscopic left extended hemicolectomy (LELC) with derotation of the right colon and primary colorectal anastomosis.

Background: While laparoscopic extended right colectomy is a well-established procedure, LELC is rarely used (mainly for distal transverse or proximal descending colon carcinomas extending to the area of the splenic flexure). LELC presents several technical challenges which are demonstrated in this How-I-Do-It article.

Adhesional small bowel obstruction related to stapling device from previous laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.

Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is common surgical presenting problem, accounting for roughly 15 000 laparotomies per year in the UK. However, SBO post laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair is uncommon with an estimated incidence of 0.2%-0.

Synchronous gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor and colon adenocarcinoma: a case report.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) represent the majority of primary mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. They are generally considered to be solitary tumors and therefore the synchronous occurrence with other primary malignancies of gastrointestinal track is considered a rare event. Here we present the case of a 75-year-old man admitted to our hospital with a 10-day history of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Primary angiosarcoma of the spleen: an oncological enigma.

Introduction. Primary splenic angiosarcoma is an extremely unusual neoplasm originating from sinusoidal vascular endothelium. Surgical extirpation is the mainstay of treatment of this highly malignant disease.
