Robotic versus laparoscopic approaches for rectal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis of postoperative complications, anastomotic leak, and mortality.

Objective: Compare the efficacy and safety of robotic versus laparoscopic approach for rectal cancer treatment, addressing the ongoing debate within the medical community regarding the optimal surgical approach.

Background: Traditionally, surgery has been the cornerstone of rectal cancer treatment, aimed at tumor removal and intestinal function preservation. Recent advancements have introduced laparoscopic and robotic surgeries as minimally invasive alternatives to conventional methods.

Primary gastric myofibroblastic tumor in an adult at Perú: Case report and literature review.

Primary gastric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor is a rare neoplasm developed from mesenchymal stem cells, infrequently discussed in the scientific literature. Clinical diagnosis through endoscopy and pathology is challenging for the medical team. We report the case of a female patient with gastric obstruction syndrome due to a 10 cm tumor diagnosed with this disease by histology and immunohistochemistry.

Rectus abdominis muscle flap for repair of the gastrojejunal leakage afterdistal gastrectomy with Billroth II anastomosis for gastric cancer.

Anastomotic leakages at the gastrojejunostomy site are difficult to repair, due to complex gastrointestinal anatomy. This is the first study reporting clinical use of rectus abdominis muscle (RAM) flap for repair of gastrojejunostomy leakage. A patient with leakage of gastrojejunostomy after distal gastrectomy with Billrroth II anastomosis for gastric cancer underwent repair using left RAM flap, based on superior epigastric artery.

[Pancreatic lipoma: presentation of a case and review of literature].

Diagnosis of pancreatic lipoma, is very rare. We presented the case of a 51 years woman who show a tumor of 9x8 cm. at the head and neck of the pancreas.
