A Rare Complication of Atraumatic Splenic Rupture in Infectious Mononucleosis: A Case Report.

Atraumatic splenic rupture is a very rare and potentially life-threatening event usually associated with underlying pathological conditions. Splenic rupture in infectious mononucleosis occurs only in 0.1%-0.

Does vascular occlusion in liver resections predispose to recurrence of malignancy in the liver remnant due to ischemia/reperfusion injury? A comparative retrospective cohort study.

Background: Severe ischemic changes of the liver remnant after hepatectomy could expedite tumor recurrence on the residual liver. Our study aimed at assessing the effect of warm ischemic/reperfusion (I/R) injuries on surgery-to-local recurrence interval and patient overall survival, during major hepatectomies under inflow and outflow vascular control.

Methods: One hundred and eighteen patients were subjected to liver resection under total inflow and outflow vascular clamping and were assigned as study group.

Technical Intraoperative Maneuvers for the Management of Inferior Vena Cava Thrombus in Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Introduction: Renal vein or inferior vena cava (IVC) invasion by neoplastic thrombus in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is not an obstacle for radical oncological treatment. The aim of this study is to present our technical maneuvers for complete removal of the intracaval thrombus without compromising hemodymanic stability of the patient.

Materials And Methods: Between 2000 and 2014, 15 RCC patients with IVC involvement of levels I-III were treated with curative intent and were prospectively studied.
