Analysis of potential risk factors in the survival of patients with primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma.

Introduction: The present work is an observational study of a series of variables regarding overall survival and disease-free survival in patients diagnosed with primary liposarcoma.

Methods: The study is prospective with retrolective data collection that includes all patients with primary liposarcoma referred to Hospital Son Espases University Hospital, Palma de Mallorca, Spain from January 1990 to December 2019.

Results: The study includes 50 patients and the compartment surgery was performed in 18 patients (36%) of cases.

Long-term comparative study on open versus laparoscopic biliopancreatic diversion.

Background: To date, bariatric surgery has been proposed as the most effective treatment to resolve morbid obesity, a multifactorial chronic disease with an epidemic and increasing tendency. The purpose of this study was to determinate the impact of the laparoscopy on weight loss parameters in morbid obese patients who underwent surgery according to Scopinaro's biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) and evaluate early and late complications related to the open and laparoscopic approach of this technique.

Materials And Methods: This is a longitudinal retrospective study in consecutive patients undergoing BPD due to morbid obesity between 1999 and 2015.

Resultados de lesión del nervio laríngeo recurrente en cirugía de tiroides con el uso del neuroestimulador.

Background: Intermittent intraoperative neuromonitoring of the recurrent laryngeal nerve is the ideal complement in thyroid surgeries, decreasing thyroid injuries.

Objective: To analyze the prevalence of recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries with the use and without the use of neuromonitoring in thyroid surgery.

Method: Observational, descriptive and retrospective study, in which a total of 571 patients were included between the years 2012-2018.

Aberrant single metastasis to the elbow from primary rectal cancer: a rare presentation.

Rectal adenocarcinoma usually metastasizes to the liver and lungs and when it has bone spread, it more frequently involves the vertebrae and pelvis. Thus, aberrant metastasis from a rectal adenocarcinoma to upper extremities with preservation of intra-abdominal organs is very uncommon. We present the case of an 80-year-old male patient with a diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the rectum T4N1M1 with non-axial single bone metastases and with preservation of visceral organs.

Biliopancreatic Diversion in the Surgical Treatment of Morbid Obesity: Long-Term Results and Metabolic Consequences.

Purpose: In the multidisciplinary therapeutic approach to obesity, bariatric surgery is considered the most effective treatment in weight reduction and the decrease in associated comorbidities. The objective of this work is to describe the long-term clinical and metabolic results in obese patients undergoing biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) according to Scopinaro's technique.

Materials And Methods: Patients undergoing surgery were followed by the same multidisciplinary team in a study period of 15 years (1999-2015).

Contributions of fluorescence to endocrine surgery.

The use of fluorescence in surgery has expanded and become widespread in recent years, which has led to a real technological phenomenon with the emergence of devices adapted for use in laparoscopic and robotic approaches. Fluorescence-guided surgery in the field of endocrine surgery is also on the rise. More and more articles describe its use in surgery of the thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands, although the series are still modest in size and protocols have not been standardized.
