The development of stenosis at the suture line after tracheal resection and end-to-end anastomosis of the trachea is associated with failure to approximate the tracheal ends. Evidently, stenosis invariably will occur if the viable mucosal edges are not properly adapted to each other. We developed a method of anastomosis affording accurate approximation of the tracheal ends and particularly of the mucosa by doing Z-plasties in the mucosa. This method of tracheal anastomosis, which is comparatively easy and safe to perform, may be used reliably and without the development of mucosal structures.

Background: The effectiveness and preferred reconstruction methods of pancreatectomy associated with vein resection (PAVR) for pancreatic cancer, especially for the extensive portal vein/superior mesenteric vein (PV/SMV) resections (more than 4 cm), are still subjects of debate. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of PAVR by analyzing data from two large institutions from different regions.

Methods: From 2008 to 2018, we identified consecutive series of patients with pancreatic cancer who underwent PAVR at Karolinska University Hospital (KUH), Sweden, and Cancer Institute Hospital, Japanese Foundation of Cancer Research (JFCR), Japan.

Background Currently, there is no data on the prevalence of urethral stricture illness in India. For short-segment bulbar urethral stricture, end-to-end anastomosis is the gold standard of care. The purpose of this study was to find where the direct vision internal urethrotomy (DVIU) exists in today's era.

Aim: An end colostomy is a potentially life-saving surgical intervention, but postoperative ostomy management is challenging in resource-limited settings. Socioeconomic, health system, and surgical capacity barriers may delay colostomy reversal. A surgery camp model for addressing the burden of unreversed colostomies has not previously been undertaken in Malawi.

Background: Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury can occur in a wide variety of diseases and surgeries. If necessary, the blood flow should be restored, including re-anastomosis by removing the intestines with impaired circulation. In this process, anastomotic strength is as important as inflammatory responses and oxidative stress.

Background: Many reports described the importance of multidisciplinary meetings in providing oncologic patients with the best treatment strategies. This item improved overall survival, accuracy of staging and adherence to guidelines. For mediastinal neoplasms, collaboration between different surgical skills allows to deal with challenging/impossible surgical procedures.
