Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: Introducing the preoperative prediction score based on preoperative imaging.
2020
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) still has a poor long-term outcome, even after complete resection. We investigated different parameters gathered in preoperative imaging and analyzed their influence on resectability, recurrence, and survival.All patients who underwent exploration due to ICC between January 2008 and June 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. Kaplan-Meier model, log-rank test and Cox regression were used.Out of 184 patients, 135 (73.4%) underwent curative intended resection. Median overall survival (OS) was 22.2 months with a consecutive 1-, 3- and 5-year OS of 73%, 29%, and 17%. Median recurrence-free survival (RFS) was 9.3 months with a consecutive 1-, 3- and 5-year RFS …
Periodontal status and quality of life in pregnant women with both overweight/obesity and hypertension: a cross-sectional study
2021
Background The aim of this study was to assess the periodontal condition and quality of life of pregnant women affected with both overweight/obesity and arterial hypertension. Material and Methods Pregnant women were dived into three groups: with overweight/obesity and hypertension (G1 = 23), with overweight/obesity without hypertension (G2 = 31) and with normal BMI and without hypertension (G3 = 38). They were evaluated regarding: contextual variables (age, socioeconomic level and anthropometric parameters); periodontal status; and quality of life (adapted version of Oral Health Impact Profile – OHIP-14). ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, chi-square and binary logistic regression model were adopted (…
Sonographische Diagnose eines Holoakardius
2008
In the 28th week of gestation a normal foetus and a holoacardius were diagnosed via sonography in a biamnotic monochoriatic twin pregnancy. The growth of the foetuses was observed under continuous sonographic control up to the 40th week of pregnancy. The patient delivered a healthy twin by Caesarean section and the acardius was subjected to a postmortem. Macroscopic and histological findings in the foetus, the placenta and the umbilical cords are demonstrated. The pathogenesis of the holoacardius is discussed as being due to chromosomal aberrations and foeto-foetal transfusion syndrome.
Kontinente Harnableitung und Schwangerschaft
1995
We report on our experience with 7 pregnancies in 6 women who previously underwent reconstruction of the urinary tract with a continent urinary diversion using an ileo caecal segment (Mainz-Pouch I), ureterosigmoidostomy or bladder augmentation. Urinary tract infection and upper tract dilatation were the only complications during pregnancy which required bilateral nephrostomies in one case. All other sequelae were handled conservatively. The continence mechanisms were not compromised during pregnancy or delivery. Deliveries were vaginal in two cases and by Caesarean section in five. All seven newborn were healthy. Pregnancy is not contraindicated after any type of urinary diversion includin…
Die Perforation bei Morbus Crohn als Komplikation in der Schwangerschaft
1991
The manifestation of Crohn's disease with perforation in pregnancy has been described in one case only. In our case, a 25-year-old woman in the 28th week of pregnancy was admitted to our hospital with signs of an acute abdomen. Due to deterioration of the maternal and foetal situation, the child was delivered by a Caesarean section. Subsequently, exploration of the abdomen showed an ileum perforation with diffuse fibrinous peritonitis. In this case, the definitive diagnosis could not be made prior to laparotomy. The aim of surgical therapy in such cases should be the limited resection with end to end anastomosis. In diffuse peritonitis, discontinuous resection and secondary reconstruction a…
Zirkadiane Blutdruckrhythmik bei der Präeklampsie: Ein Prädiktor für die maternale und geburtshilfliche Situation?
2003
Background Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-induced multiorganic disease. The incidence is 5 - 7 % in all pregnant women. To assess the value of circadian blood pressure rhythm in preeclamptic women, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring might be useful. The purpose of this study was to determine the predictive value of circadian blood pressure rhythm for the maternal and obstetrical outcome in patients with mild preeclampsia. Patients and methods Sixty-six patients with mild preeclampsia underwent 24-hour blood pressure monitoring between 29 and 39 weeks gestation. Twenty-eight patients with normal circadian blood pressure rhythm were compared with thirty-eight patients with suspended circadian blo…
Técnicas reconstructivas tras amputación abdominoperineal extraelevadora del recto o exenteración pélvica: mallas, plastias y colgajos
2014
Perineal wound complications after abdomino-perineal rectal resection are frequent and clinically relevant for their impact on the length of hospitalization, costs, patients' quality of life and oncologic results. With the diffusion of the preoperative radiotherapy and the gradual shift to the extra-elevator technique, the perineal morbidity rate has increased. Many series describing different techniques of primary closure of the perineal defect have been published, but high-quality clinical studies, indicating which is the best option, are missing. A biologic mesh, associated if possible to an omentoplasty, seems to be sufficient to close the perineal defect after extra-elevator abdomino-p…
Hat das Ausmaß der Lymphknotendissektion einen Einfluß auf die Morbidität und Prognose nach Pankreaskopfresektion wegen eines duktalen oder periampul…
1997
We examined the influence of lymph node dissection on morbidity and mortality of 13 patients after resection of the head of pancreas due to a ductal or periampullary carcinoma. In both groups the radicality of the operation was the main prognostic factor. In ductal pancreatic carcinoma the R-status was able to be determined better by normalisation of the postoperative Ca 19-9 serum level than by the evaluation of the surgeon or pathologist. For prognosis, the quotient of metastatic lymph nodes to resected lymph nodes indicates that an extensive lymph node dissection may increase the long term survival. A lymph node dissection is therefore to be recommended, especially since it does not incr…
Liver Resection for Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma—Single-Center Experience with 286 Patients Undergoing Surgical Exploration over a Thirteen Year P…
2021
Background: Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) accounts for about 10% of primary liver cancer. Surgery is the only potentially curative treatment. We report on our current series of 229 consecutive hepatic resections for iCCA, which is one of the largest Western single-center series published so far. Methods: Between January 2008 to December 2020, a total of 286 patients underwent 307 surgical explorations for intended liver resection of iCCA at our department. Data were analyzed with regard to (1) preoperative treatment of tumor, (2) operative details, (3) perioperative morbidity and mortality, (4) histopathology, (5) outcome measured by tumor recurrence, treatment of recurrence and su…
Technical advances in radical retropubic prostatectomy techniques for avoiding complications. Part II: vesico-urethral anastomosis and nerve-sparing …
2003
We previously reviewed different technical modifications and improvements in apical dissection in radical retropubic prostatectomy which have a considerable effect in optimizing the results. This second paper focuses on the vesico-urethral anastomosis and aspects of nerve-sparing prostatectomy.
