Background/aim: This study aimed to characterize intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) in patients undergoing initial and recurrent surgical resection and to evaluate the appropriateness of surgical treatment strategies.
Patients And Methods: This study included 14 patients who underwent liver resection for intrahepatic IPNB. We assessed intraoperative and postoperative clinicopathological factors in patients undergoing both initial and recurrent surgeries.
Results: Four patients experienced recurrence after initial surgery; all underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. Postoperative complications were classified as Clavien-Dindo Grade 1-2 in three patients and Grade IIIb in one patient. There were no in-hospital deaths.
Conclusion: Pancreaticoduodenectomy for recurrent cases following hepatectomy for IPNB is considered safe within an acceptable range and contributes to a favorable long-term prognosis.

Aim: The study was designed to evaluate molecular alterations, relevant to the prognosis and personalized therapy of salivary gland cancers (SGCs).
Materials And Methods: DNA was extracted from archival tissue of 40 patients with various SGCs subtypes. A targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel was used for the identification of small-scale mutations, focal and chromosomal arm-level copy number changes.

Introduction: Approximately 75% of bladder cancer cases are non-muscle invasive at diagnosis. Drug development for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) has historically lagged behind that of other malignancies. No treatment has demonstrated the ability to overcome drug resistance that ultimately leads to recurrence and progression.

The urgent etiological diagnosis represents the main management objective of cervical spondylodiscitis (CSD) to start as soon as possible antibiotic treatment to prevent neurological deterioration. The present study aimed to evaluate a multicenter experience implementing a minimally invasive surgical approach (MISA) to manage CSD such pathology vs the most complex and aggressive surgical strategies currently used.This retrospective multicenter study used a database of 70 patients from five European neurosurgical centers.

Congenital neutropenia (CoN) is a heterogeneous group of inborn errors of immunity (IEI) characterized by recurrent infections and early onset of neutropenia (NP). This study aimed to investigate the demographic and clinical data of children with CoN and idiopathic neutropenia (IN) in Morocco. We performed a retrospective study of patients with CoN and analyzed the clinical and laboratory findings of patients with CoN and IN diagnosed between 1999 and 2018 in a clinical immunology unit of a large pediatric hospital.

Introduction: Graft fibrosis following the first stage of a free graft staged hypospadias repair is a difficult scenario where the management has traditionally been to excise the graft and replace it with a new graft. However, still the risk of recurrent fibrosis remains making it difficult to proceed to the second stage and tubularising a fibrosed graft practically ensures a breakdown. Herein, we present our way of using parameatal based flip flap urethroplasty as a salvage procedure in this situation.
