The Definition, Diagnosis, and Management of Giant Splenic Artery Aneurysms and Pseudoaneurysms: A Systematic Review.

: Giant splenic artery aneurysms (SAAs) and pseudoaneurysms (SAPs) represent rare conditions, characterized by a diameter greater than or equal to 5 cm. The risk of rupture is increased compared to common SAAs and SAPs, necessitating urgent treatments to prevent it. : This systematic review was conducted through a comprehensive search involving the PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases.

Hybrid endovascular and surgical staged approach for mycotic carotid pseudoaneurysms: a case report and literature review.

Background: Mycotic carotid pseudoaneurysms represent a challenge for surgeons. They are rare and associated with high mortality and morbidity.

Methods: We reported a case of a 61-year-old man with a mycotic pseudoaneurysm of carotid bifurcation.

Sutureless Repair for Open Treatment of Inguinal Hernia: Three Techniques in Comparison.

Currently, groin hernia repair is mostly performed with application of mesh prostheses fixed with or without suture. However, views on safety and efficacy of different surgical approaches are still partly discordant. In this multicentre retrospective study, three sutureless procedures, i.

Laparoscopy-assisted vs open total gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy for advanced gastric cancer: results of a retrospective, multicenter study.

The aim of this study was to retrospectively compare the results of laparoscopy-assisted total gastrectomy (LATG) with those of open total gastrectomy (OTG) for advanced gastric cancer. Patients undergoing total gastrectomy for a T4a, N0-3a-b, M0 gastric adenocarcinoma were divided into two groups. Patients in group A (n = 122) underwent LAG, whereas patients in group B (n = 109) underwent OTG.

Laparoscopic treatment for ventral hernia in obese patients.

Aim: Obese patients generally are not considered good candidates for wall defect repair, because of associated comorbidities, increased surgical risk, and high risk of surgical site infection and recurrence. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the results of laparoscopic incisional hernia repair in a group of patients with Body Mass Index (BMI)>35 kg/m2.

Material And Method: From January 2016 to October 2018, 15 obese patients, including 11 females (73.

Pseudoaneurysm of the cystic artery after acute necrotizing pancreatitis.

A 35-year-old woman, chronic alcoholic, was admitted for an attack of acute, necrotizing pancreatitis. Antibiotics and percutaneous drainage failed to control the septic status and the pancreatic collection. Open surgery allowed a successful necrosectomy and drainage.

Fully Ultrasound-Assisted Endovascular Aneurysm Repair: Preliminary Report.

Background: Reducing fluoroscopy times and iodine contrast administration during endovascular repair (EVAR) of infrarenal aortic aneurysms remains a challenge. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the preliminary results of a fully ultrasound-assisted EVAR without iodine contrast administration.

Methods: Twenty-seven consecutive patients underwent an elective intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-assisted EVAR with final contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) control of correct aneurysm exclusion.

Simultaneous Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and Endovascular Infrarenal Aortic Aneurysm Repair.

With the increasing use of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and the availability of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) and cholelithiasis, respectively, the association between these elective treatments is not yet well-defined. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the results of elective and simultaneous EVAR and LC. Thirteen patients (mean age, 72 years) with concomitant large and asymptomatic AAA and asymptomatic cholelithiasis underwent simultaneous EVAR and LC.

Outcome of Surgical Resection and Chemotherapy Versus Chemotherapy Alone for the Treatment of Isolated Primary Adrenal Lymphoma: A Retrospective Cohort Study of 16 Consecutive Patients.

Background/aim: Primary adrenal lymphoma (PAL) is rare and aggressive. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the results of surgery and chemotherapy compared to chemotherapy alone for the treatment of this condition.

Patients And Methods: Sixteen patients, 10 men and 6 women of a median age of 63 years (IQR=56-70.

Results of resection of carotid body tumors with and without lymphnodes' dissection.

Background: Carotid body tumor (CBT) is a slow-growing tumor arising from the carotid body, a chemoceptor organ lying behind the carotid artery bifurcation. Although rarely, metastases can occur distally through the hematogenous route and through the lymphatic route.to the cervical lymphnodes.

Outcomes After Open and Endovascular Repair of Non-Ruptured True Pancreaticoduodenal and Gastroduodenal Artery Aneurysms Associated with Coeliac Artery Compression: A Multicentre Retrospective Study.

Objective: True aneurysms of the peri-pancreatic arcade (PDAA) have been attributed to increased collateral flow related to coeliac axis (CA) occlusion by a median arcuate ligament (MAL). Although PDAA exclusion is currently recommended, simultaneous CA release and the technique to be used are debated. The aim of this retrospective multicentre study was to compare the results of open surgical repair of true non-ruptured PDAA with release or CA bypass (group A) vs.

Results of Standard Stapler Closure of Pancreatic Remnant After Distal Spleno-Pancreatectomy for Adenocarcinoma.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of stapled closure of the pancreatic remnant after cold-knife section of the pancreatic isthmus and distal pancreatectomy for adenocarcinoma. A retrospective evaluation of 57 consecutive patients undergoing distal spleno-pancreatectomy for adenocarcinoma was performed. The pancreatic isthmus was systematically straight-sectioned with a cold knife, and the remnant was stapled close without additional stitches or adjuncts.

Standard versus eversion-modified double-staple technique for low colorectal anastomoses after resection of rectal cancer.

Purpose: The double-staple technique, performed as either the standard procedure or after eversion of the rectal stump, is a well-established method of performing low colorectal anastomoses following the resection of rectal cancer. Eversion of the tumor-bearing ano-rectal stump was proposed to allow the linear stapler to be fired at a safe distance of clearance from the tumor. We conducted this study to compare the results of the standard versus the eversion-modified double-staple technique.

Resection for Internal Jugular Vein Thrombosis and Cervical Lymph Nodes' Involvement from Gastric Cancer.

Background/aim: Thrombosis internal jugular vein (IJV) with cervical adenopathy, as first manifestation of gastric cancer is rare. We aimed to compare resection of the cervical mass followed by gastrectomy with gastrectomy alone.

Patients And Methods: Nine patients presenting thrombosis of the IJV for gastric carcinoma were divided into two groups.

Long-term results of polytetrafluoroethylene versus saphenous vein repair of degenerative carotid artery aneurysm.

Objective: To compare the results of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and great saphenous vein (GSV) bypass after resection of a degenerative aneurysm of the carotid artery.

Methods: From January 1994 to November 2017, 37 patients (27 men) with a mean age of 58 years (range, 39-82 years) with a degenerative aneurysm of the carotid artery (median diameter, 28 mm; range, 19-42 mm), underwent resection of the aneurysm followed by a bypass with either a GSV (n = 10) or a PTFE prosthesis (n = 27). Although 31 patients were asymptomatic, 6 patients were symptomatic: transient ischemic attack (n = 4), minor stroke (n = 1), and compression of the hypoglossal nerve (n = 1).
