Reconstructive surgery for mycetoma: Preliminary algorithm and a systematic review.

Background: Surgical treatments of mycetoma are a cornerstone in management. However, while doing a wide surgical excision of mycetoma lesion, surgeons think about how to close the skin defect, which can be closed primarily, left to heal by secondary intension, by skin grafts or local flaps. In this review, we demonstrate the various applications and changes of mycetoma reconstruction after surgical excision.

Clinicopathological profile and management of thyroid carcinoma: a Sub-Saharan country experience.

Background: In Sudan, there is limited knowledge on the epidemiology, clinical characteristics and pathological patterns of thyroid cancer. To address this shortcoming, we studied the clinical, pathological and treatment patterns of thyroid cancer at the National Cancer Institute ‒ University of Gezira (NCI-UG), Sudan.

Methods: We performed a retrospective health facility-based study of patients with thyroid cancer who were treated at NCI-UG from January 2009 to December 2017.

Renal mycetoma presenting with features suggesting renal malignancy: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Neoplasms of the Kidney are rarely caused by actinomycetoma or other mycetoma species. Actinomycetoma is a neglected tropical disease which is not uncommon in Sudan. Usually, it is presented as skin and subcutaneous tissue lesions or mass and can affect the bone and other soft tissue.

Clinical pathological characteristics and treatment outcomes of renal cell carcinoma (RCC): a retrospective study from Sudan.

Background: Worldwide, renal cell carcinoma comprises 2.2% and 1.8% of global cancer incidence and mortality, respectively.

Surgical management of eumycetoma: experience from Gezira Mycetoma Center, Sudan.

Background: In this study, we share our experience of different operative techniques undertaken on 584 eumycetoma patients in the Gezira Mycetoma Center.

Methods: This is a retrospective, descriptive, hospital-based study, conducted to review the surgical treatment of eumycetoma patients. We included all patients diagnosed with eumycetoma who underwent a surgical operation in the center during January 2013-December 2016.

Axillary Lymph Node Dissection for Breast Cancer: Efficacy and Complication in Developing Countries.

Purpose: Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) frequently is performed as part of the surgical management of breast cancer as a therapeutic and prognostic index, but increasingly has been perceived as associated with significant complications. Data on efficacy and complications of ALND in Sudan are lacking. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and complications of ALND in patients with breast cancer treated with mastectomy and breast-conserving surgery.
