Complex treatment of vascular prostheses infections.

Infections after vascular reconstructions are very rare; however, when they occur, they are associated with a high risk of morbidity. In order to obtain the best results possible, the treatment needs to be initiated as early as possible, from the very first signs of infection, and it needs to be carried out in centers specializing in vascular surgery. The aim of the present study was to assess the incidence of infections in a single university center.

Laparoscopic gastric plication for the treatment of morbid obesity by using real-time imaging of the stomach pouch.
