2013
Contains fulltext : 125368.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) BACKGROUND: Care for patients with colon and rectal cancer has improved in the last twenty years however still considerable variation exists in cancer management and outcome between European countries. Therefore, EURECCA, which is the acronym of European Registration of cancer care, is aiming at defining core treatment strategies and developing a European audit structure in order to improve the quality of care for all patients with colon and rectal cancer. In December 2012 the first multidisciplinary consensus conference about colon and rectum was held looking for multidisciplinary consensus. The expert panel consisted of…
Laser treatment of 13 benign oral vascular lesions by three different surgical techniques
2013
Objectives: Benign Oral Vascular Lesions (BOVLs) are a group of vascular diseases characterized by congenital, inflammatory or neoplastic vascular dilations clinically evidenced as more or less wide masses of commonly dark bluish color. If traumatized BOVLs are characterized by a great risk of hemorrhage and their treatment usually requires great caution to prevent massive bleeding. In the last decades lasers have dramatically changed the way of treatment of BOVLs permitting the application of even peculiar techniques that gave interesting advantages in their management reducing hemorrhage risks. The aim of this study was to evaluate the capabilities and disadvan - tages of three laser assi…
Efficacy of Surgical Techniques in Hallux Abductus Valgus by Application of Scale American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society: literature review

Minimal invasive Therapie bei peritonealer Leiomyomatose
1994
Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata (LPD) is a rare benign disease characterised by the presence of multiple intraabdominal nodules, consisting of benign smooth muscle. LPD has only been found in women, predominantly in their late reproductive age. There is a very high association with excess exogenous and endogenous female gonadal steroids, specifically oestrogen and progesterone. Since it is grossly indistinguishable from diffuse carcinomatosis of the peritoneum, several unnecessary radical procedures have resulted. We describe the 44th documented case and the first case of minimal invasive surgery in a 42-year-old women with peritoneal leiomyoma on the right pelvic wall and uterine s…
Laparoscopy in Low-Income Countries: 10-Year Experience and Systematic Literature Review
2021
Laparoscopy is a procedure that ultimately reduces hospital stay time and speeds up post-operative recovery. It is mainly performed in high-income countries but its implementation in many low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) is increasing. However, no aggregate data exist regarding the outcomes of this procedure in resource-limited settings. We retrospectively reviewed all cases of laparoscopy recorded from January 2007 to March 2017 at the Department of Surgery of Beira to assess the related outcomes. Moreover, we performed a systematic review of the laparoscopic practices and outcomes in low-income countries. Data from the Department of Surgery of Beira identified 363 laparoscopic proc…
