Purpose: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour (IMT), which is also named as plasma cell granuloma (PCG) or inflammatory pseudotumour (IPT), is a rare tumour which rarely develops in the colorectal region. We aimed to review all reported cases to draw attention about this rare tumour.
Methods: We present two new cases of colonic IMT with no recurrence during the follow-up period.
Introduction: Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) has been used as a relatively safe and efficient temporising measure in the treatment of acute cholecystitis (AC) in high-risk patients with serious co-morbidity and in elderly patients.
Aim: To assess the effectiveness, possible advantages, and complication of delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) following PC in patients with AC.
Material And Methods: A total of 52 LC for AC were divided into two groups: the first group consisted of patients who had PC followed by LC (PCLC group, = 12), and the second group consisted of patients who had conservative treatment followed by LC (non-PCLC group, = 40).

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the reasons for performing UARs, outcomes of relaparotomies (RLs) and factors that affect mortality.
Methods: Demographic characteristics; initial diagnoses; information from and complications of the first surgery received; durations and outcomes of UAR(s) performed in patients who received early RLs because of complicated abdominal surgeries in our clinic between 01.
