Pancreatic heterotopia in mesentery.

Introduction: The pancreatic heterotopia of fortuitous operational discovery remains rare because of the medical imagery progress. We report a mesenteric localisation of aberrant pancreas identified during the assumption of responsibility of an abdominal emergency.

Observation: A 26-year-old man was allowed with the urgencies for an acute obstruction of the small bowel.

Trapezius perforator flaps: anatomical basis using 58 dissections.

Introduction: The trapezius muscle is a good option for soft tissue defects in the cervical and thoracic regions. However, pedicled flaps raised from perforators in the trapezius are rare. Through a series of cadaver dissections, the authors aim to map the perforating arteries in the trapezius muscle.

[Clinical, epidemiological and therapeutic features of biliary tract cancers: about 20 cases].

Biliary tract cancers mainly occur in two sites: gallbladder cancer which are adenocarcinomas and intra- and extrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas. We conducted a retrospective study of 20 cases with biliary tract cancer in the Department of Surgery at the General Hospital in Grand-Yoff between January 2006 and October 2014. 40% of patients had gallbladder cancer, 60% of patients had common bile duct cancer.

[Anatomical bases of external pudendal artery injuries during surgical treatment of pelvic limb varices].

Introduction: External pudendal artery is a collateral branch of the common femoral artery which is the primary blood supply to the penis or the clitoris. Its relationship with the venous arch of the great saphenous vein and its afferents in femoral triangle, are very narrow. This often entails injuries during crossectomy and great saphenous vein stripping.

An anatomical study of the intersigmoid fossa and applications for internal hernia surgery.

Purpose: To improve the knowledge of the morphometry and the surrounding anatomical structures of the intersigmoid fossa and to determine possible surgical applications.

Method: Forty eight adult cadavers (29 female and 19 male; mean age 83 years) underwent dissection in the Laboratoire d'Anatomie des Alpes Francaises. Two injections in the right carotid resulted in a total body concentration of formalin of 1.
