Situs viscerum inversus and abdominal aortic aneurysm: A systematic review of a rare association.

Situs viscerum inversus (SVI) is a very rare condition in that abdominal and thoracic organs are located reversed. Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening pathology due to progressive aortic enlargement until the rupture. The association between SVI and AAA is very infrequent.

Adrenocortical carcinoma metastasis. A long story.

Introduction: Adrenocortical Carcinoma (ACC) is an uncommon adrenal tumor with a predilection for the female population.

Case Report: A 55-year-old woman was referred to our attention to undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallstone disease. She underwent a left adrenalectomy for ACC 5 years before; the follow-up was negative for relapse.

Laparoscopic Mesogastrium Excision for Gastric Cancer: Only the Beginning.

Surgery, with the aid of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, is the only curative chance for gastric cancer. Unfortunately, gastric cancer had an elevated recurrence rate, primarily locally. Mesogastrium excision (MGE) during D2 lymphadenectomy has the aim to remove all possible contaminated tissue around the stomach.

Minilaparoscopic Cholecystectomy Versus Conventional Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: An Endless Debate.

Our systematic review and meta-analysis examine the impact of minilaparoscopic cholecystectomy (MLC) versus conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC). Some authors previously compared these surgical approaches without reaching any clear conclusion, since then, further trials have been performed, but an update was needed. PubMed, EMBASE, and the CENTRAL were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials comparing MLC versus CLC up to August 2019.

Evidence on postoperative abdominal binding: A systematic review with meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Midline laparotomy is an unavoidable approach to many surgical procedures. Many surgeons prescript the use of postoperative abdominal binder during the first mobilization after surgery. The use and the cost effective of this device is still debated by many surgeons.

Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgery for Splenic Artery Aneurysm: A Systematic Review.

Background: Splenic artery aneurysms (SAAs) are the most frequent visceral aneurysms, with a life-threatening risk in case of rupture. Our systematic review investigated the features of minimally invasive surgical approaches in vascular surgery for SAAs: robotic surgery and laparoscopy.

Methods: PubMed, EMBASE, and the Web of Science were systematically searched for robotic or laparoscopic surgery reports in SAA up to January 2020.

A rare case of pancreatic splenosis and a literature review.

Splenosis is a clinical condition characterized by the presence of ectopic splenic tissue in the abdominal cavity occurring after abdominal trauma or surgical procedure involving the spleen. We present a case of an 80-year-old Caucasian male who underwent splenectomy at the age of 36, with a prior diagnosis of cancer of the left kidney associated with a pancreatic neoformation. This study compare our case with similar published and reviev the Literature.

Adenocarcinoma in the Intrathoracic Transposed Colon.

Patients who had esophagectomy with colon interposition for benign disease have long survivals. Adenocarcinoma arising in the interposed colon is a possible event. We describe a 65-year-old woman in whom we performed 37 years ago an esophagectomy with left colon interposition for lye-induced strictures.

Minilaparoscopic cholecystectomy a one year record.

Purpose: Our study is to demonstrate the feasibility and the safety of the Minilaparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

Material Of Study: During one year period 12 patients underwent 5mm Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and 102 patientunderwent Mini-laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. In this study the exclusion criteria for surgery have been analyzed as well as the technical difficulties, the operation time, the duration of hospital stay, the post-surgery pain, the complications and the aesthetic results

Results: The operation time was 3 minutes longer for Mini-laparoscopic Cholecystectomy, the hospital stay was shorter in Mini-laparoscopic group.
