Giant Duodenal Brunneroma: Report of a Rare Case and Review of the Literature.

BACKGROUND Brunneromas are among the rarest benign tumors of the upper gastrointestinal tract. They arise from the Brunner's glands and patients have a good prognosis if treated timely and radically. Because symptoms are rare, their diagnosis can be challenging, especially regarding the smaller ones.

Quality of Surgical Outcome Reporting in Randomised Clinical Trials of Multimodal Rectal Cancer Treatment: A Systematic Review.

Introduction: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) continue to provide the best evidence for treatment options, but the quality of reporting in RCTs and the completeness rate of reporting of surgical outcomes and complication data vary widely. The aim of this study was to measure the quality of reporting of the surgical outcome and complication data in RCTs of rectal cancer treatment and whether this quality has changed over time.

Methods: Eligible articles with the keywords ("rectal cancer" OR "rectal carcinoma") AND ("radiation" OR "radiotherapy") that were RCTs and published in the English, German, Polish, or Italian language were identified by reviewing all abstracts published from 1982 through 2022.

Acute bolus obstruction following surgical treatment of paraesophageal herniation of the greater omentum.

Hiatal herniations are most commonly diagnosed during work-up for gastroesophageal reflux disease. Here, we present a patient with retrosternal pain for whom the computed tomography scan showed a lipomatous formation in the lower posterior mediastinum, and further examination indicated the origin to be paraesophageal herniation (PEH) of the greater omentum. This was confirmed by laparoscopy, the herniated part of the greater omentum was repositioned and the hiatal hernia was repaired.

Intraoperative indocyanine green-visualization in a difficult to localize central cholangiocarcinoma - A case report.

Introduction And Importance: Near infrared fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) can facilitate the intraoperative tumour localization and therefore a complete resection. Cholangiocarcinoma is an aggressive tumour and complete resection improves the outcome. Therefore, it is necessary to localize the tumour exactly but the translation of the preoperative imaging into the intraoperative setting can be difficult based only on sonography, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.

Patient Selection for Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Patients With Colorectal Cancer: Consensus on Decision Making Among International Experts.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment for patients with peritoneal metastases is complex. The use of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has continued to be debated. The aim of the present study was to assess the consensus among international experts for decision-making regarding the use of CRS and HIPEC for patients with CRC.

Safety and reliability of Radio Frequency Identification Devices in Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Computed Tomography.

Background: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) devices are becoming more and more essential for patient safety in hospitals. The purpose of this study was to determine patient safety, data reliability and signal loss wearing on skin RFID devices during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scanning.

Methods: Sixty RFID tags of the type I-Code SLI, 13.
