Comparing simple and functional jejunal interposition with preserved duodenal passage after total gastrectomy.

Objective: This prospective randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the effectiveness of functional jejunal interposition (FJI) and simple jejunal interposition (SJI) as reconstruction methods following total gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The study assessed primary endpoints such as nutritional status and quality of life, as well as secondary endpoints including operative time, intraoperative blood loss, perioperative and postoperative complications, and survival rate.

Methods: A total of 113 patients were randomly assigned to either the FJI group or the SJI group.

Long-term follow-up of comparative study of open and endoscopic lymphadenectomy in patients with penile carcinoma.

Background: Penile carcinoma is an uncommon cancer that develops in the penis tissue. The standard surgical method to manage regional lymph nodes after local excision is radical inguinal lymphadenectomy, but it has a high rate of complications. The objective of this retrospective study was to compare the long-term outcomes of endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy and open inguinal lymphadenectomy in patients with penile carcinoma.

Totally Extraperitoneal Herniorrhaphy (TEP): Lessons Learned from Anatomical Observations.

Background: Totally extraperitoneal herniorrhaphy (TEP) is a therapeutic challenge because of its complex anatomical location in inguinal region. The aim of this study was to describe the related surgical anatomy through laparoscopic observation and share the lessons learned from a review of 250 primary inguinal hernia repair procedures performed at our hospital from January 2013 to November 2019. .

Long-term follow-up of anterior approach preperitoneal hernia repair using the Kugel patch.

Background: Despite many advantages of original Kugel hernia repair over other procedures, there exist certain disadvantages of technical difficulty, long learning curve, and high early recurrence. The aim of this study was to explore the outcomes of long-term follow-up using anterior approach preperitoneal hernia repair with the Kugel patch and determine its safety and efficacy.

Methods: Five hundred eighty-one inguinal hernias were performed in 560 patients, using anterior approach preperitoneal repair.

Endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy for penile carcinoma and genital malignancy: a preliminary report.

Background And Purpose: Open radical inguinal lymphadenectomy is reported to have morbidity as high as 50%. We describe our endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy that aims at decreasing the morbidity of the procedure without compromising the oncologic outcomes.

Patients And Methods: Eleven groin dissections were undertaken in seven male patients.
