Transabdominal sonograms of 68 consecutive pregnant women were reviewed retrospectively. Images of fetal parts obtained through the umbilical window (UW) were compared with those obtained through the paraumbilical window (PUW) as to (1) thickness of tissue to amniotic cavity, (2) clarity of the part
BACKGROUND
In laparoscopy, 50% of all complications occur during establishment of the pneumoperitoneum. Elevation of the fascia is recommended for the Veress needle approach, although the benefit has not been proved to date. This study aimed to evaluate the intraabdominal changes during lifting of
The analysis of 21 cases of congenital intestinal umbilical fistulas in children was carried out. It was established that in half of the patients the intestinal umbilical fistulas were associated with other developmental defects. The clinical picture, diagnosis, complications of the persistent
Umbilical melanoma is extremely rare. Among the past English reports on umbilical melanoma, there are only 8 reports in which histopathology was described in detail, and there has been no report with a review of the histopathology of previously reported cases. We experienced a case of umbilical
In April 2014, the US Food and Drug Administration published a safety communication warning of the risk of an unsuspected uterine sarcoma being morcellated during a laparoscopic procedure and therefore advising against the use of power morcellation. These statements have encouraged the scientific
BACKGROUND
A recent development in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is single-port surgery, where a single large multiport trocar is placed in the umbilicus. All medical schools require that students complete an anatomy course as part of the medical curriculum. However, there is limited instruction
BACKGROUND
Ventriculoperitoneal shunting is among the commonest neurosurgical operations. Shunt catheters within the peritoneal cavity have migrated through and perforated almost all the intra-abdominal hollow viscera.
METHODS
A unique case of an infant is presented, in whom CSF leaked via a
BACKGROUND
Shunt catheters within the peritoneal cavity have migrated through and perforated almost all the intra-abdominal hollow viscera. An umbilical cerebrospinal fluid fistula following a ventriculoperitoneal shunt is an extremely rare complication.
METHODS
We report a 8-month-old infant who
Single-incision laparoscopic surgery has been developed with the objective to reduce surgical trauma, decrease associated surgical stress and to improve cosmetic outcome. However, concerns have been raised regarding the risk of trocar-site hernia following this approach. Previous meta-analyses have
Heterotopia refers to the finding of normal tissue in foreign sites, entirely separate from the main organ. Heterotopic gastric mucosa has been observed throughout the alimentary tract, everywhere from the oral cavity to the rectum. However, occurrences in the umbilicus are an extremely rare and
Endometriosis is defined as the presence of both functioning endometrial glands and stroma outside their usual location lining the uterine cavity. It has been identified in virtually all tissues and organs of the female body with the exception of the spleen. There have been many theories proposed
