Outcomes of Partial or Total Cystectomy in Advanced Colon Cancer with Suspected Bladder Invasion-Our 8-Year Experience and Literature Review.

Purpose: Advanced colon cancers with bladder invasion pose a heavy burden and challenge towards patients and surgeons. Herein, we report our series with regards to operative and oncological outcomes in our 8 years of experience.

Methods: All patients with advanced colonic tumours and suspected bladder invasion being operated from 2012 to 2020 were included.

Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography to evaluate anastomotic perfusion in colorectal surgery.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography with respect to the anastomotic leakage rate for patients undergoing colorectal operations.

Methods: This prospective cohort involved patients who underwent colorectal surgery between August 2018 and September 2019. ICG was injected after colonic transection.

Molecular Identification of Spirometra erinaceieuropaei Tapeworm in Cases of Human Sparganosis, Hong Kong.

Human sparganosis is a foodborne zoonosis endemic in Asia. We report a series of 9 histologically confirmed human sparganosis cases in Hong Kong, China. All parasites were retrospectively identified as Spirometra erinaceieuropaei.

Assessing the short- and long-term outcomes after resection of benign insulinoma.

Background: Insulinoma is a rare functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour (NET) believed to have an excellent long-term outcome, but few studies have solely focused on this issue after apparently curative resection. This study aimed to assess post-operative and long-term outcomes after resection of benign insulinomas.

Methods: From 1998 to 2013, 36 consecutive patients with insulinomas underwent surgery.
