Case Presentation: A 61-year-old female was referred to our hospital with a neoplastic lesion in the duodenum. Computed tomography with contrast enhancement revealed a 10-mm tumor in the duodenum. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a submucosal tumor-like lesion in the descending part of the duodenum.

With advances in chemotherapy, a double-orifice colostomy or ileostomy and chemotherapy are used to treat primary unresectable colorectal cancer. Preoperative therapy with a double-orifice colostomy or ileostomy is performed to aid primary colorectal cancer miniaturization.

This case report presents a surgical case of a giant liposarcoma originating from peripancreatic fat tissue with origin identification using 3-Dimensional Computed Tomography Angiography (3D-CTA).
Case Presentation: A 59-year-old female was referred to our hospital with a giant abdominal tumor.
Ureteroenteric anastomotic strictures (UEAS) are typical complications after creating an ileal conduit for total pelvic exenteration (TPE) of rectal tumors. We report the ileal conduit for reconstruction in three patients, in the age-range of 47-73 years. Case 1 was when a left-sided UEAS had sufficient length of ureter for anastomosis, Case 2 was a right-sided UEAS with sufficient length of ureter for anastomosis, and Case 3 was a left-sided UEAS with insufficient length of ureter for anastomosis.

Likewise, the related postoperative complications and the limit for indicating surgical resection has not been reported. Herein, we reported the complications of a highly frequent surgical approach for rectal cancer recurrence, i.

Intraoperative reduction of adult intussusception can eliminate the need for extensive or invasive resection. We safely performed a manual laparoscopy-assisted intraoperative reduction that allowed functional preservation of tissue.

Cytokines exist at concentrations several hundred times higher at the site of inflammation than in the blood. When absorbed, the locally produced cytokines may affect multiple remote organs.
