Simultaneous Liver Kidney Transplantation in a Primary Type 2 Hyperoxaluria With Corrected TOF and Severe Cardiomyopathy: A Case Report.

Background: Primary type 2 hyperoxaluria is a very rare genetic disorder, where in the progression to renal failure was assumed to be insidious and not very common. PH2 is due to deficient glyoxylate reductase/hydroxypyruvate reductase (GRHPR), which was thought to have extra-hepatic production also. The progression to renal failure in these patient subgroups is well documented in the Literature and the role of SLK (simultaneous liver and kidney transplantation) has not been clearly established.

Emerging pattern of asymptomatic hyperparathyroidism in South India - a six-year retrospective study.

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disease with a variable presentation. There is a recent increase in the number of asymptomatic cases due to the use of multichannel automated analyzers.

Histopathological spectrum of adult renal tumours: A single center experience and review of literature.

Background: Renal tumors constitute approximately 3% of all malignancies in adults. They form a heterogenous group with variable morphological, immunohistochemical, and molecular features.

Aim: The objective of this study was to analyze the spectrum of adult renal tumors at a tertiary care center and study the demographic and histomorphological features.

An Unusual Cause of Chylothorax after Esophagectomy.

Chylothorax due to inadvertent thoracic duct injury after esophagectomy is a well-known complication and requires careful postoperative management and timely intervention to prevent potential morbidity and mortality. We present a case of high-output chylothorax after esophagectomy where the source of chyle leak was not in the thorax.

Thoracoscopic Esophagectomy for a Huge Leiomyosarcoma.

Esophageal leiomyosarcoma is the commonest of all esophageal sarcomas but yet has a very low incidence. These tumors have been resected by the open approach so far. We describe the steps and challenges involved in the thoracoscopic excision of a huge leiomyosarcoma of the esophagus.

Laparoscopic Repair of a Right Paraduodenal Hernia.

Laparoscopic repair of a right paraduodenal hernia has been described sparingly in literature. We present an account of how we laparoscopically repaired a right paraduodenal hernia along with a review of the current literature as regards the various techniques that have been attempted. With the patient in supine position, and with umbilical camera port and three 5 mm ports, we mobilized the cecum and ascending colon up to the third part of the duodenum, thereby widening the neck of the hernia sac in the Waldeyer fossa.

Endoscopic ultrasound-guided coil or glue injection in post-cyanoacrylate gastric variceal re-bleed.

Background And Aims: N-butyl-cyanoacrylate injection is recommended in bleeding/recently bled gastric varices. However, cyanoacrylate injection is associated with re-bleed in 25% to 50% of patients. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided coil application is an emerging treatment modality for bleeding gastric varices.

The Effect of Preoperative Biliary and Pancreatic Drainage on Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

 Surgeons and endoscopists welcome routine preoperative biliary drainage prior to pancreaticoduodenectomy despite evidence that it increases complications. Its effect on postoperative pancreatic fistula is variably reported in literature. Simultaneous biliary and pancreatic drainage is rarely performed for very selected indications and its effects on postoperative pancreatic fistula are largely unknown.
