Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor originating from the adrenal gland, characterized by the secretion of catecholamines. Due to the risk of hypertensive crises associated with catecholamine release, surgical procedures in pheochromocytoma patients are risky. In this case report, laparoscopic appendectomy for acute appendicitis in a patient who has pheochromocytoma will be presented.

This study examined the effects of the Glue + Felt technique, which uses biological glue and felt to repair the proximal anastomotic site, on the outcomes of patients with acute type A aortic dissection.
Methods: A total of 108 patients who underwent surgery for acute type A aortic dissection at our clinic between 2007 and 2020 were included in the study.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of coronary artery endarterectomy during coronary bypass surgery, particularly focusing on the left anterior descending artery (LAD), and its impact on patient outcomes.
- It involved a review of 20 patients who underwent this procedure between January 2014 and December 2021, assessing mid-term graft patency and overall survival rates.
- Results indicated a 60% patency rate in grafts after an average follow-up of about 33 months, and a high survival rate of 95%, suggesting that endarterectomy can be a reliable option when suitable anastomosis sites are lacking.
Article Synopsis
- Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital gastrointestinal anomaly, found in about 2% of people, and is rarely symptomatic in adults.
- This case highlights a 46-year-old male who experienced abdominal pain due to Meckel's diverticulitis, which had formed a fistula with the abdominal wall, and was also found to have a benign inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) on imaging.
- After surgery for the diverticulitis and complications like an anastomotic leak, the patient ultimately recovered, and this case emphasizes the importance of thorough diagnostic work to uncover incidental findings that can impact treatment.
Total extraperitoneal (TEP) approach is one of the commonly used minimally invasive method in inguinal hernia repair. There are limited data that compares the results of the telescopic dissection and balloon trocar for preperitoneal dissection. In our study, we aimed to retrospectively evaluate the TEP cases performed at our center and compare the results of these two techniques.
