Facial rhabdomyosarcoma with an isolated pancreatic metastasisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue tumour in children. This is the first time a facial RMS metastatic to the pancreas is reported. The patient was a 3-year-old boy with a symptomatic solitary pancreatic metastasis of a primary facial RMS, with already one relapse in a submental lymph node. Since this was the second relapse of the disease and due to the extensive nature of the mass, the patient was considered for palliative care and a bypass procedure with a choledochojejunostomy, a gastrojejunostomy and a cholecystectomy was performed. The patient expired 6 months later. C...

This double-blinded study aimed at evaluating and comparing the effects of magnesium and lidocaine on pain, analgesic requirements, bowel function, and quality of sleep in patients undergoing a laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Patients were randomized into three groups (n=40 each). Group M received magnesium sulfate 50 mg/kg intravenously (i.v.), followed by 25 mg/kg/h i.v., group L received lidocaine 2 mg/kg i.v., followed by 2 mg/kg/h i.v., and group P received saline i.v. Bolus doses were given over 15 min before induction of anesthesia, followed by an i.v. infusion through the end of surgery. Intraoperative fentanyl ...

In this article we discuss all contemporary methods of gallbladder disease treatment regardless of their routine or experimental use. At the moment, we can perform open cholecystectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, single incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) or natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES). All these procedures complement one another. When making a decision on the choice of operative method, one should take into consideration not only the patient’s physical condition and patient’s preference but also the skills and experience of the surgeon, and current state of knowledge.

Case report Rare haemorrhagic complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has become a “gold standard” for cholelithiasis treatment and is considered to be a safe method of treatment for acute cholecystitis. Among complications of this procedure, gallbladder and bile duct injuries as well as haemorrhage caused by vascular, hepatic or abdominal wall vessel injuries are most frequent. Rarer complications include duodenum, colon and other visceral perforations or vascular injuries. Four thousand five hundred and ninety-five laparoscopic cholecystectomies were performed in a single department of surgery from 1994 to 2008. Since 2001, ten serious complica...

In this report, we describe a fatal gemcitabine-induced pulmonary toxicity in a patient with gallbladder metastatic adenocarcinoma.

CT scan and ultrasound before the surgery did not show any tumor. After the surgery a Pet scan was positive for a hot-spot in the left colon. The colonic lesion was conveniently removed and the histology evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of adenocarcinoma tubular. The patient was then submitted to three sections of 1,600 mg/m2 of gem...

Conclusions: The management of these complications enclose endoscopic, percutaneous and surgical therapies.

Transarterial embolization is the first line of intervention to stop hemobilia while surgical intervention should be considered if embolization fails or is contraindicated.

Imaging studies and laboratory findings on admission suggested acute cholecystitis with a gallstone. The patient recovered completely after laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed and was discharged on day 7 after the operation. Haemophilus influenzae grew on the aspirated purulent bile.
