It is a genetic disorder that affects the growth and development of nerve cell tissue, which is characterized by a multisystem disorder and an increased risk for cancer. The incidence of gastroduodenal stromal tumor during Recklinghausen disease can reach 35% in autopsies and 5% in clinical cases.

Surgical features to reduce anastomotic recurrence of Crohn's disease that requires reoperation: a systematic review.

Anastomotic recurrence after intestinal resection is one of the main embarrassing problems encountered during Crohn's disease (CD) management. This complication is often associated with an expected consequence, mainly a multiple intestinal resection. This systematic review evaluates published evidence on surgical features to reduce surgical recurrence after bowel resection and provide surgeons with recommendations based on published evidence.

Retrorectal Schwannomas: Atypical Presentation and Controversial Surgical Management.

Schwannomas also known as neurilemomas are benign tumors. Retrorectal schwannomas are extremely rare, accounting for 1 to 5% of all schwannomas. They are mostly asymptomatic but may present with symptoms such as pelvic pain, back pain, lower extremities pain, or constipation.

Fournier's gangrene: its management remains a challenge.

Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a rapidly progressive necrotizing bacterial dermo-hypodermitis of the perineum and external genitalia. It represents a real medical and surgical emergency requiring multidisciplinary care. Our study was based on the retrospective analysis of 18 cases of FG, collected in the Department of General and Visceral Surgery of Fattouma Bourguiba University Hospital in Monastir over an 18-year period extending from January 2000 to December 2018.

Incidence and Preoperative Predictor Factors of Gallbladder Cancer Before Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: a Systematic Review.

Introduction: Many cases of gallbladder cancer (GBC) were made incidentally after cholecystectomy for presumed benign disease. The aim of this review is to assess the preoperative predictor factors of gallbladder cancer.

Methods: This systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines when it was applicable.

Primary pancreatic tuberculosis mimicking pancreatic body cancer. A case report and review of the literature.

Isolated pancreatic tuberculosis (PT) is an extremely rare disease, with non-specific clinical characteristics, making the diagnosis often challenging with pancreatic cancers. Here we report a case of a 36-year-old female, who was admitted to our hospital after suffering from a 3-month history of epigastric abdominal pain, night sweats and weight loss. The physical examination was normal.

How to Prevent Anastomotic Leak in Colorectal Surgery? A Systematic Review.

Anastomosis leakage (AL) after colorectal surgery is an embarrassing problem. It is associated with poor consequence. This review aims to summarize published evidence on prevention of AL after colorectal surgery and provide recommendations according to the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine.

Barbed versus conventional thread used in laparoscopic gastric bypass: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Hand-sewn gastrointestinal anastomosis during laparoscopic gastric bypass (GBP) could be performed using the conventional multifilament suture (CS) or a barbed suture (BS). This systematic review with meta-analysis aimed to assess the advantages and disadvantages of these two anastomosis alternatives.

Methods: Bibliographic search for relevant studies was performed, according to the PRISMA guidelines, to perform the systematic review with meta-analysis.

Sarcoma undifferentiated (unclassified) fusiform cell type of mesentery: a case report and literature review.

Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of malignant tumors that come from mesenchymal tissues. Undifferentiated sarcoma represents approximately 20% of soft tissue sarcomas. This entity represents approximately 20% of soft tissue sarcomas.

Strangled rectal prolapse in young adults: A case report.

Background: Rectal prolapse (RP) is an uncommon perineal disease. It is defined as a complete protrusion or intussusception of the rectum through the anus. Strangulation of the RP is rare.

Intestinal intussusception in Peutz Jeghers syndrome: A case report.

Hamartomatous polyposis is a rare cause of intussusception in adults. But this complication is the most frequent for patient with Peutz Jeghers syndrome. Small bowel screening is recommended for those patients in order to prevent emergency repetitive surgeries.

Management of liver hydatid cyst with cystobiliary communication and acute cholangitis: a 27-year experience.

Contribution of microRNA-149, microRNA-146a, and microRNA-196a2 SNPs in colorectal cancer risk and clinicopathological features in Tunisia.

Background And Aim: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a worldwide leading cause of mortality. Genetic studies have associated single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes encoding microRNAs with CRC risk but results are mostly inconclusive across variable ethnicities. In this study, we investigated the association of hsa-mir-149 rs2292832 C/T, hsa-mir-146a rs2910164 G/C and hsa-mir-196a2 rs11614913 C/T and explored their roles in clinicopathological features of CRC progression in an Eastern Tunisian cohort.
