Central ligation or partial preservation of the right gastric artery does not seem to affect conduit or anastomotic perfusion during robot-assisted resection of gastroesophageal junction cancer: a randomized clinical trial.

The gastric conduit can be created with partial preservation or a central ligation of the right gastric artery. Central ligation may facilitate complete removal of lymph node (LN) station 3; however, whether this influences conduit and anastomotic perfusion is unknown. Hence this study investigated whether a central ligation of the right gastric artery would affect conduit or anastomotic perfusion compared with partial preservation (local standard) during robot-assisted resection of gastroesophageal junction cancer.

Hepatic pinworm infestation misdiagnosed as a liver metastasis in a patient with colonic adenocarcinoma.

An extra-intestinal infestation of (pinworm) is uncommon. We present a case of hepatic infestation of pinworm in a 57-year-old woman, misdiagnosed as a colorectal adenocarcinoma metastasis. The route of migration from the intestine to the liver is not well established but the most plausible route seems to be hematogenous.
