ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Pancreatico-gastrostomy (PG) is widely applied for restoration of connection between the distal pancreatic remnant and digestive tract during Whipple procedure. Comparative studies on the clinical outcome of various PG techniques are scarce. METHODS: Medical records of patients who underwent PG at Sohag University Hospital (November 2012-December 2015) were reviewed. Patients who had PG using Enveloped Double Purse-String sutures ...

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 laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE), its detailed techniques used with assessment of CBD clearance in comparison to conventional surgery and endoscopic techniques used in equal number of patients to discuss its feasibility, assess all difficulties encountered, and evaluate its prospective to substitute combined ERCP-Laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure. PATIENTS & METHODS: A random sample ... Read more

ABSTRACT Background: The techniques for treatment of an inguinal hernia range from the tissue-repairs to the tension-free hernioplasty. The use of a mesh for repair not free of complications and had higher costs.

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION AND AIM OF THE WORK: Pancreatic pseudocyst is the commonest cystic lesion of the pancreas. When interference is indicated, open surgical therapy is the standard therapy with which other therapeutic modalities should be compared. Recently, endoscopic and laparoscopic approaches were reported for management of these cases. We aimed at exploring the minimally invasive techniques in treatment of pancreatic ... 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 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
