It was demonstrated that there are many complications following cervicofacial rhytidectomy, such as hematoma, edema, seromas, ecchymosis, nerve injury, hypertrophic scarring, contour irregularities, infection, nausea, vomiting, and so on. Accordingly, there is a lot of reports about the
A 72-year-old woman underwent complete deep inguinal lymph node dissection on her right side subsequent to metastasis from malignant melanoma. On the second postoperative day, the patient reported of nausea and vomiting. She presented with a mass in the resected area that gradually increased in size
OBJECTIVE
To assess the clinical value of modified transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) repair of groin hernias in adult patients.
METHODS
From May 2006 to April 2008, modified TAPP repair for hernia was performed in 403 adult patients with groin hernia and 22 with femoral hernia. Indirect hernia sac
OBJECTIVE
To assess the quality of day surgery in the St. Antonius Hospital in Nieuwegein, the Netherlands.
METHODS
Prospective and descriptive.
METHODS
During one year all patients treated by general surgeons in ambulatory surgery of the St. Antonius Hospital, Nieuwegein, the Netherlands (breast
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the safety and feasibility of single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILS-C) compared with conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy (CLC).
METHODS
Sixty-five patients (SILS-C: 35, CLC: 30) were prospectively enrolled and operated with conventional straight instruments.
BACKGROUND
Breast cancer is common among Danish women with more than 4,100 new cases annually. In 2008 the concept of fast-track surgery was introduced at the Department of Breast Surgery at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen. The aim of this study is to describe the new clinical pathway for breast cancer
From May 1985 to June 1992, 375 patients were enrolled in a prospective controlled randomized clinical trial of peri-operative adjuvant chemotherapy (PAC) associated with long-term adjuvant chemo-endocrinotherapy in order to test the effectiveness of reducing the time interval between surgery and
BACKGROUND
There are about 700,000 open mesh repairs done as day surgery procedure in the United States each year; in Germany in 2003 only about 6% of inguinal repairs were done as day surgery procedure.
OBJECTIVE
Prospective evaluation of complications, recurrence, and chronic postoperative pain
BACKGROUND
Vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) was initiated in 1980 as a weight loss operation that restricted oral intake.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of our study was to determine the results of patients who presented with complications of the VBG and wanted reversal of the VBG, not a conversion to another
Vagal nerve blockade with the vBloc device (ReShape Lifesciences, St. Paul, MN) has been shown to provide durable 2-year weight loss in patients with moderate obesity. These devices may require removal. We present a series of patients and report our technique for laparoscopic removal BACKGROUND
Complications after gastric bypass (RYGB) are well documented. Reversal of RYGB is indicated in select cases but can lead to weight gain. Conversion from RYGB to sleeve gastrectomy (SG) has been proposed for correction of complications of RYGB without associated weight gain. However,
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of outpatient surgery for early breast cancer in an Italian ambulatory setting and to assess its benefits.
METHODS
A review of 88 women treated for breast cancer from an outpatient facility was undertaken from July 2003 to December 2006. The
OBJECTIVE
The authors describe an initial experience using paravertebral block for ambulatory or short-stay operations for breast cancer.
BACKGROUND
Rising hospital costs have focused attention on limiting the length of stay for patients undergoing surgical treatment of breast cancer. Thus far,
BACKGROUND
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is still done mainly on an inpatient basis at hospitals or on an outpatient basis at ambulatory care departments inside hospitals.
METHODS
We reviewed 213 cases in which outpatient laparoscopic cholecystectomy was done at an ambulatory surgical center not
OBJECTIVE
The practice of laparoscopic cholecystectomy under local anesthesia is almost anecdotal. For 15 years we have been using a "transcylindrical cholecystectomy" technique for the treatment of cholelithiasis, cholecystitis, and choledocholithiasis. The present study was undertaken to assess
