Standardized approach to the conservative surgery of hepatic cystic echinococcosis: A prospective study.

Objective: Surgery is the mainstay of hepatic cystic echinococcosis (HCE). The conservative surgery of HCE carries a non-negligible risk of recurrence and significant morbidity, dominated by Deep Surgical Site Infections (DSSI). To address these issues, we have improved and standardized this technique, which could reduce complications and achieve better postoperative outcomes.

Predicting Waist Circumference From a Single Computed Tomography Image Using a Mobile App (Measure It): Development and Evaluation Study.

Background: Despite the existing evidence that waist circumference (WC) provides independent and additive information to BMI when predicting morbidity and mortality, this measurement is not routinely obtained in clinical practice. Using computed tomography (CT) scan images, mobile health (mHealth) has the potential to make this abdominal obesity parameter easily available even in retrospective studies.

Objective: This study aimed to develop a mobile app as a tool for facilitating the measurement of WC based on a cross-sectional CT image.

Laparoscopic repair of the broad ligament hernia: A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Broad ligament hernia is a rare type of internal hernia caused by the protrusion of viscera through an abnormal defect on the broad ligament. The diagnosis is difficult and challenging. Usually, it requires an urgent laparotomy to avoid intestinal necrosis or even the death of the patient.
