Background: Due to the influence of traditional Chinese culture, many cholelithiasis patients refuse to undergo cholecystectomy. This has prompted surgeons to consider a new treatment option for gallstones, which preserves the gallbladder, termed as choledochoscopic gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy. In this study, we reviewed the clinical outcomes of 23 years of single-center application of choledochoscopic gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy.

Article Synopsis
  • Ligamentoid fibromatosis is a rare soft tissue tumor classified between benign and malignant with local invasion and a high rate of recurrence.
  • A 57-year-old female patient discovered an abdominal mass with no significant symptoms and a relevant medical history, leading to considerations for surgical intervention.
  • Surgical removal is the primary treatment for ligamentoid fibromatosis, with additional nonsurgical methods available to lower recurrence risk, and overall prognosis is favorable despite potential for recurrence.

Our study aimed to clarify the correlation between miR-1247-5p expression and clinicopathological parameters and survival of patients with breast cancer (BC). We evaluated the expression level of miR-1247-5p in 224 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens (112 BC and matched cancer free tissues) by quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). miR-1247-5p expression in BC tissues was found to be decreased compared with matched normal tissues (P < 0.

Background: Robotic surgery has been used successfully in many branches of surgery, but there is little evidence in the literature on its use in rectal cancer (RC). We conducted this meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-randomized controlled trials (NRCTs) to evaluate whether the safety and efficacy of robotic total mesorectal excision (RTME) in patients with RC are equivalent to those of laparoscopic TME (LTME).

Methods: Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Ovid, and Web of Science databases were searched.

Objective: To discuss the feasibility of the operation of minimal invasive with gallbladder preserved via choledochoscopy.

Methods: From February 1992 to June 2006, there were 760 patients who underwent cholecystolithiasis treated with the minimal invasive operation with gallbladder preserved via choledochoscopy, among which there were 428 males and 332 females, aged from 18 to 81 years old. All cases were diagnosed by ultrasonography and their gallbladder functions were proved normal by the examination of oral cholecystography or ECT before operation.
