Jennifer Hernandez Licona, Jesus Bravo Leon, Veronica Gonzalez Mascareno and Jesus Antonio Martin Hernandez

Article Type: Case Report | Indexed Archive: Volume 12

Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage chronic kidney disease. In the first six months post-transplantation, surgical complications represent a significant cause of graft loss. Situs Inversus Totalis (SIT) is a rare anatomical anomaly that poses technical challenges in organ procurement and transplantation. Evidence regarding the viability of organs from donors with SIT is scarce....

Article Type: A NARRATIVE REVIEW | Indexed Archive: Volume 12

Low-output enterocutaneous fistulas (ECFs) are challenging postoperative complications that can lead to significant morbidity due to nutritional depletion, infection, and prolonged hospitalization. Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy, also referred to as negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), has shown promise as a valuable adjunct in the acute care setting. This narrative review explores the role of VAC therapy in the management of low-output abdominal fistulas, focusing on its physiological...

Article Type: Case Report | Indexed Archive: Volume 12

"Congenital" or pediatric trigger thumb is a rare entity, and its presentation beyond school age is even rarer. Its timely diagnosis and treatment is crucial due to the functional limitations in a developing hand as well as the possible sequelae. We present the case of a 9-year-old patient with a classic case of trigger thumb, who underwent surgical release at 3 years of age, presenting recurrence, requiring re-exploration and surgical release with adequate postoperative evolution....

Article Type: Case Report | Indexed Archive: Volume 11

Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical abdominal pathology in the world; its highest frequency is in the population between 20 and 30-years-old. Gastrointestinal tuberculosis is a rare extrapulmonary manifestation, corresponding to 3% of cases and mainly involving the ileocecal region; appendicular involvement is rare. We report the case of a 20-year-old male, with a history of HIV diagnosed in the same hospitalization, without previous treatment and with a clinical picture compatible wi...

Appendiceal mucocele (AM) is a rare condition characterized by mucus accumulation in the appendix, occurring in 0.3% to 0.7% of appendectomies, predominantly in females over 50. It is caused mainly by epithelial proliferation, either benign or malignant, and less often by inflammation or obstruction. Symptoms are nonspecific, often resembling acute appendicitis, and diagnosis is made using ultrasound, CT, and colonoscopy, confirmed by histopathology....

Impact of Combining Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy with Omentopexy on Gastro Esophageal Reflux Symptoms

Wai Yip Chau, MD, FACS, FASMBS and Nitin Sharma, MD, FACS, FASMBS

Article Type: Case Report | Indexed Archive: Volume 11

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is a common bariatric surgery and has its discrete advantages or disadvantages as compared to more complex bariatric procedures. Several studies have reported increased incidence of de novo gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) or its aggravation following LSG. Since GERD causation is multifactorial, no ideal method or technique exists to overcome this challenging complication especially associated with LSG. GERD affects quality of life and is a risk factor for pat...

Intracranial extension of a dermoid cyst in temporal region of scalp is extremely rare and we present one such case along with its management and follow-up. Dermoid cysts are benign tumors which result from aberrant closure of the neural tube. They have thick capsules which are lined by squamous epithelium and contain skin appendages. About 7 percent of all dermoids are craniofacial dermoid cysts with an incidence of 0.03 to 0.14 percent [1]....
