ABSTRACT PURPOSE: There is no doubt that cholecystectomy relieves pre-surgical symptoms of gallbladder (GB) disease. The persistence of symptoms mainly biliary pain was recorded in 10 – 20 % of cases, with variety of causes. Residual GB/cystic duct stump stone is one of the most important un-expected cause. The present study was conducted to study and evaluate those patients, with ... Read more

ABSTRACT PURPOSE: A prospective work to study various laparoscopic techniques used for stone extraction during laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE), either through the scope method using basket and balloon with Choledochoscopic control, direct access extraction of stones using basket, balloon, or reticulated graspers with CBD milking, or irrigation / suction techniques. Assessment of CBD clearance of stones for each ... Read more

ABSTRACT Background: In 1921, Hartmann, a French surgeon described his operation for the resection of left-sided colonic carcinoma. The technique described a sigmoid colectomy without anastomosis; a left lower quadrant end colostomy and the rectal stump closure was performed. The aim of this study was to compare the outcome of the laparoscopic and open restoration of the gut continuity after ... Read more

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Oncoplastic surgery has emerged as a new approach to allow wide excision for breast conserving surgery without compromising the natural shape of the breast. It is based on integration of plastic surgery techniques for immediate breast reshaping after wide excision for breast cancer. OBJECTIVE: To study the different methods of oncoplastic surgery for breast reconstruction to achieve better ... Read more

ABSTRACT: _BACKGROUND AND AIM__:_ 10-18% of people undergoing cholecystectomy have common bile duct (CBD) stones. Treatment may be: open CBD exploration, laparoscopic CBD exploration (LCBDE), or pre- or post-cholecystectomy ERCP in two stages. The aim of this study is to compare CBD clearance by these procedures _PATIENTS AND METHODS__:_ 250 cases of choledocholithiasis were included from Sohag and Assuit university ... Read more
