In selected adenocarcinomas of the oesophagogastric junction with AEG types II and III and of T-category 1 and 2, proximal gastric resection with preservation of the distal stomach can be performed without impairment of radicality or prognosis. Double tract reconstruction with side to side anastomosis of the distal stomach to the Roux-en-Y jejunal loop after oesophagojejunostomy is presented. According to the literature, this procedure has a low rate of postoperative reflux oesophagitis and long term effects include significantly lower dosage of vitamin B substitution and significantly higher haemoglobin levels than after total gastrectomy.

The Ross procedure continues to be the best procedure to address unrepairable aortic valve pathology, especially in young adults. The Achilles heel of this procedure has been aortic root dilation and the potential need for a reoperation that may be associated with slightly increased risks in addition to the need for intervention on the pulmonary outflow tract. Modifying the Ross procedure by autograft inclusion inside a Dacron graft seems to have the potential advantage of stabilizing the autograft diameter, which may be associated with improved durability and decrease the need for future intervention.

Breath-hold T2-weighted half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin echo (HASTE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the upper abdomen with a slice thickness below 5 mm suffers from high image noise and blurring. The purpose of this prospective study was to improve image quality and accelerate imaging acquisition by using single-breath-hold T2-weighted HASTE with deep learning (DL) reconstruction (DL-HASTE) with a 3 mm slice thickness. MRI of the upper abdomen with DL-HASTE was performed in 35 participants (5 healthy volunteers and 30 patients) at 3 Tesla.

Background/objective: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting apocrine gland areas, characterized by painful nodules and abscesses that may result in sinus tracts and scarring. The global prevalence of HS is increasing due to heightened awareness, improved diagnostic methods, rising obesity rates, and higher smoking prevalence. This study aimed to describe the epidemiological, clinical, and comorbid characteristics of HS patients.

The most common site for a pilonidal sinus is the sacrococcygeal region, typically affecting hirsute males. Hair entrapment beneath the skin triggers a granulomatous reaction, leading to the formation of a sinus tract. Here, we present a rare case of concurrent pilonidal abscess in both the nape of the neck and the natal cleft.
