Thoracoabdominal approach to large adrenal tumors - when laparoscopic adrenalectomy is not enough: a retrospective four-year study.

Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is considered to be the gold standard approach in the field of adrenal surgery. This technique offers advantages of great importance compared to variant laparotomy techniques. Notwithstanding, a technique that needs to be mentioned is the thoracoabdominal approach which facilitates the anatomic exposure of the retroperitoneum, adrenal gland, and great vessels and is strongly recommended for the surgery of large, malignant adrenal tumors.

Laparoscopic para-aortic lymphadenectomy for metastatic colon cancer in a patient with left-sided inferior vena cava: a case report.

Transposition of inferior vena cava, or, left-sided inferior vena cava (LS-IVC) is a rare clinical entity, in which the inferior vena cava ascends along the left side of the abdominal aorta. Literature contains mainly clinical case reports. Although it is usually not associated with clinical symptomatology, this anomaly should be detected during preoperative planning to avoid iatrogenic injuries intraoperatively.

Two case reports of mesenteric and retroperitoneal actinomycosis and a narrative review of the relevant literature.

Introduction: Actinomycosis is an uncommon subacute or chronic suppurative bacterial granulomatous infectious disease with clinical heterogeneity. The majority of actinomycosis cases were of extra-abdominal origin, with oro-cervico-facial cases representing 55%, abdominopelvic representing 20%, and thoracic representing 15% of total reports. Currently, abdominal actinomycosis incidence is approximately 1 case per 119,000 people, being found three times more frequently among males.

Amyand's Hernia as a Random Finding in Acute Abdominal Pain and the Role of Thorough Investigation: a Case Report.

Amyand's hernia is a rare clinical entity, in which the sac of an inguinal hernia contains the appendix. Its incidence is less than 1% of all inguinal hernia cases. Clinical presentation is not specific and can mislead clinical suspicion towards inguinal hernia incarceration.

Anaplastic testicular seminoma presenting as a hydrocele, in a 36-year-old patient with a family history of anaplastic seminoma.

Testicular cancer is the solid tumor with the greatest incidence in men between 15 and 44 years old. Its main histological type is germ cell tumor, that is divided into seminomatous and non-seminomatous tumors. Seminoma, consisting 55% of testicular cancer, manifests in the fourth decade of men's life and a rare type of it is the anaplastic seminoma (5% to 15% of testicular seminoma).
