Foreign Body in the Breast: A Case Report.

Foreign bodies in the breast are rarely encountered and may infrequently lead to complications such as persistent breast pain, abscess, and/or granuloma formation, pneumothorax, or cardiac tamponade. We aimed to present a case with a foreign body in her right breast, which was diagnostically missed in previous screenings. A 44-year-old asymptomatic woman, who was included in the national breast cancer screening program, was found to have a 2 cm-sized metallic foreign body in the upper-outer quadrant of her right breast via mammographic imaging.

Open vs robotic gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy: a propensity score-matched analysis on 1469 patients from the IMIGASTRIC prospective database.

Background: Comparative data on D2-robotic gastrectomy (RG) vs D2-open gastrectomy (OG) are lacking in the Literature. Aim of this paper is to compare RG to OG with a focus on D2-lymphadenectomy.

Study Design: Data of patients undergoing D2-OG or RG for gastric cancer were retrieved from the international IMIGASTRIC prospective database and compared.
