Aim: Presentation of two cases of superficial epigastric vein aneurysm simulating inguinal hernia. To our knowledge, only one other case is reported in the literature. . The first case was a 34-year-old female with left inguinal pain and swelling which was clinically diagnosed as inguinal hernia. The second case was a 28-year-old female with inguinal pain and swelling, depicted with triplex ultrasonography and computed tomography, and was suspected to have inguinal hernia or enlarged inguinal lymph node. During the surgical exploration, both patients were found to have thrombosed aneurysm of the superficial epigastric vein. During the surgical exploration, both patients were found to have thrombosed aneurysm of the superficial epigastric vein. The superficial epigastric vein was ligated, and the venous aneurysms (6 × 4 × 3 and 2 × 3 × 2.5 , respectively) were excised. Histological examination of the thrombosed aneurysm showed complete replacement of the vascular wall by fibrous tissue, thrombosis, and an inflammatory reaction. There were no postoperative complications, and both patients were discharged on the second postoperative day. The 3-month and 1-year follow-up examination, respectively, was uneventful.
Conclusion: Although venous aneurysms in the inguinal area are rare, they should be included in the differential diagnosis of a groin swelling.

BACKGROUND Mondor's disease (MD), or sclerosing superficial thrombophlebitis of the veins of the anterior thoracic wall, is a rare condition of unknown cause that usually involves the superior epigastric vein, producing a visible and palpable Mondor cord. This report describes a 27-year-old Japanese woman presenting with left chest wall pain due to palpable and visible sclerosing superficial thrombophlebitis. CASE REPORT We present the case of a 27-year-old Japanese woman who presented with 8 days of left chest wall and upper abdominal pain.

Purpose: Peripheral nerve injuries can lead to lasting functional impairments, impacting movement and quality of life. FK-506, a widely used immunosuppressant, has demonstrated potential in promoting nerve regeneration in addition to its immunosuppressive effects. This study investigates the use of a local reservoir flap to deliver FK-506 directly to the nerve injury site, aiming to enhance nerve regeneration while minimizing systemic immunosuppression.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness and safety of various antibiotic therapies for eradicating Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in children, focusing on options like triple, sequential, hybrid, concomitant, and ciprofloxacin-based therapies.
- A randomized trial involving 200 children (ages 3-16) revealed that ciprofloxacin-based triple therapy achieved the highest eradication rate at 90%, compared to lower rates for other therapies, with no significant difference in adverse effects.
- The conclusion highlights that ciprofloxacin-based triple therapy is the most effective and safe option for treating H. pylori infection in children, while the other treatment options do not significantly outperform traditional triple therapy.*

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the increasing use of the DIEP flap for breast reconstruction and highlights the development of 3D models to aid in the surgical dissection process.
- Collaboration among surgeons, radiologists, and 3D model makers was crucial in creating an accurate and user-friendly 3D DIEP model that can be accessed online via mobile devices.
- The resulting 3D model improved visual clarity of vascular structures and allowed for personalized adjustments, ultimately making surgeries safer and easier, especially for less experienced surgeons.

Background: Large soft tissue defects of the lower limb and foot are common occurrence in clinical practice and a considerable number of flaps have been used to treat them. However, there have been few reports using the superficial inferior epigastric artery (SIEA) flap. This review aims to present the experience of using the SIEA flaps for the repair of large soft tissue defects of the lower limb and foot.
