Laparoscopic Management of Bouveret's Syndrome after Failed Endoscopic Approach.

Bouveret's syndrome is a complication of cholelithiasis that presents with gastric outlet obstruction due to an impacted gallstone in the duodenum following cholecystoduodenal fistula. This is a rare presentation of biliary-enteric fistula; therefore, there are no standardized guidelines for the management of this disease. We present a case of a patient with Bouveret's syndrome managed with laparoscopic surgery after an unsuccessful attempt of endoscopic removal.

Laparoscopic liver resection in metastatic colorectal cancer treatment: comparison with long-term results using the conventional approach.

Background: Laparoscopic liver resections (LLRs) have been shown to be both feasible and safe. However, no randomised control studies have been performed to date comparing results with those of the open surgery approach.

Main Aim: To analyse LLR long-term results and compare them with a similar group of open resections in patients with colorectal carcinoma liver metastasis (CRCLM).
