Late Band Migration After SAGB. Case Report.

Obesity, a major public health issue of the 21st century, is increasingly common in adults and children. No good results of pharmacological treatment of obesity results in rapid development of bariatric surgery, which treats obesity and comorbidities associated. There are many surgical options for treating obesity.

[Severe complications of total pelvic floor repair using polypropylene mesh--case report].

The authors present a case of 58 years old woman suffering from complex pelvic floor pathology diagnosed with rectal prolapse, genitary organs prolapse, descending pelvic floor, rectocele and enterocele as well as advanced diverticular disease of the left colon. She suffered from chronic constipation. The surgery consisted of left hemicolectomy, hysterectomy, reconstruction of the pelvic floor and sacrocoloporectopexy using polypropylene mesh.

Primary ileo-anal pouch anastomosis in patients with acute ulcerative colitis.

Introduction: Proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) was performed in ulcerative colitis (UC) for emergent or urgent indications in three stages. Since the three-step procedure imposes enormous demands on a patient, there was an attempt to introduce primary IPAA for urgent indications. The aim of this study was to compare early complications after Hartmann's colectomy (HC) and IPAA in a selected group of patients.

Preoperative radiotherapy and local excision of rectal cancer with immediate radical re-operation for poor responders: a prospective multicentre study.

Purpose: To assess local control after preoperative radiation and local excision and to determine an optimal radiotherapy regimen.

Methods: Eighty-nine patients with G1-2 rectal adenocarcinoma <3-4 cm; unfavourable cT1N0 (23.6%), cT2N0 (62.

Abdominal rectopexy with absorbable and non-absorbable materials in the treatment for rectal prolapse.

Unlabelled: THE AIM OF THE STUDY was to present and compare own results of abdominal rectopexy performed with absorbable and nonabsorbable materials used in surgical repair of rectal prolapse.

Material And Methods: In the years 1991-2009, 50 patients were operated on for rectal prolapse. The first 8 patients (group I) were operated using absorbale polyglycolic acid mesh.

Local anesthesia in thyroid surgery--own experience and literature review.

Unlabelled: The local anesthesia in thyroid surgery is rarely used, only in selected patients. Majority of centers performing thyroid surgery with local anesthesia have possibility to convert to the general anesthesia. The aim of the study was to present our experiences with partial thyroidectomy under local anesthesia performed in 49 consecutive subjects in the Central African Republic (bilateral subtotal strumectomy, total resection of the one lobe, subtotal resection of the one lobe).

Vacuum-assisted closure therapy in patients with large postoperative wounds complicated by multiple fistulas.

Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy is a widely acknowledged method for chronic and traumatic wound healing. The feasibility of VAC therapy used for the treatment of intestinal fistulas is still a subject of debate. Complex postoperative wounds pose significant therapeutic problems, especially when there are several fistula openings in the wound area and other sites, usually at the site of previous drains.

The diameter of the ileal J-pouch-anal anastomosis as an important risk factor of pouchitis - clinical observations.

Background: Patients' quality of life after restorative proctocolectomy depends on the potential complications. Stricture of the ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is one of the complications following restorative proctocolectomy.

Material/methods: We analyzed the correlation between the diameter of the anastomosis and clinical parameters, including pouchitis disease activity index (PDAI), the activity of fecal M2-pyruvate kinase and maximum tolerable volume of the pouch.

Preoperative radiotherapy and local excision of rectal cancer with immediate radical re-operation for poor responders.

Background And Purpose: To report an early analysis of prospective study exploring preoperative radiotherapy and local excision in rectal cancer.

Materials And Methods: Mucosa at tumour edges was tattooed. Patients with cT1-3N0 tumour <3-4 cm were treated with either 5x5Gy+4Gy boost (N=31) or chemoradiation (50.

Partial thyroidectomy under local anaesthesia-the analysis of 49 subsequent cases.

Background And Aims: Partial thyroidectomy under local anaesthesia was performed in 49 subsequent individuals in the Central African Republic. Because of the shortage of medical resources, all patients with goitre were scheduled for an operation under local anaesthesia.

Materials And Methods: There were no inclusion or exclusion criteria applied for patient selection for the procedure.
