Background: Adverse economic conditions often prevent the widespread implementation of modern surgical techniques in third world countries such as in Sub-Sahara Africa.
Aim Of The Study: To demonstrate that a modern technique (laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernioplasty [TEP]) can safely be performed at significantly lower cost using inexpensive mesh material.
Settings: Douala University Hospital Gynecology, Obstetrics and Pediatrics and two affiliated centers, Ayos Regional Hospital and Edéa Regional Hospital in Cameroon.
Aim: To access the incidence and predictive factors of incisional hernia after single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC).
Methods: Eighty-two consecutive patients operated on for uncomplicated cholelithiasis between 2009 and 2013 were eligible for the study. Clinical outcome was assessed by a combination of case notes review, office consultation and telephone interview.
Aim: To compare surgical outcomes of patients presenting with uncomplicated cholelithiasis and operated by single incision (SILC) or by conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC).
Methods: The series concerned 58 consecutive patients operated between October 2008 and October 2009. There were 11 men and 47 women with a mean age of 47 years and a BMI of 29.
Objectives: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has been used as the first step of a staged malabsorptive procedure for high-risk patients. More recently SG was proposed as an stand alone procedure in the treatment of morbidly obese patients. The aim of this study is to analyze perioperative outcome of morbid obese patients after SG.

Methods: The series consisted of 118 consecutive patients presenting with PVH (13 epigastric and 105 umbilical hernias) operated between 2001 and 2010 by laparoscopy. Surgical repair consisted in intraperitoneal placement of a Parietex composite mesh centred on the defect with a minimum overlapping of 3 cm.
Background: The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC) and conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC).
Method: Patients' inclusion criteria were uncomplicated gallstones, BMI ≤30, ASA score ≤2, and no past surgery in the upper abdomen. Five surgeons performed only SILC and seven only CLC.
The breast carcinoma metastases preferentially in the axillary lymph nodes, bones, lungs, liver and soft tissues. Gastrointestinal or bladder dissemination is very rare. We report the case of a 63-year-old female with a clinical presentation of acute cholecystitis, who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in emergency.

The type I thrombus was suspected during the pre-operative workup, but the type III bile duct tumoral thrombus (BDTT) was an intra-operative additional finding on cholangiography. The patient underwent a bisegmental posterolateral resection to remove the primary tumour and the first tumoral thrombus located in the posterolateral intrahepatic duct.

- The study aims to compare open appendectomy (OA) and laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) results, particularly focusing on their effectiveness for different patient subgroups.
- The analysis included 326 adult patients, with findings indicating similar overall operative times and hospital stays for both techniques, but obese patients and those with ectopic appendices benefitted more from LA.
- Complications were minimal with no mortality reported, but the rate of wound infections was higher in the OA group compared to the LA group, suggesting that laparoscopic surgery might be safer for certain patients.
