INTRODUCTION Infectious complications after FEVAR cause significant problems, with radical surgery considered to be the last resort for treatment. CASE REPORT A 72 year old man presented with infection 1 month after FEVAR. Conservative therapy with percutaneous abscess drainage and antibiotics suppressed the infection for 10 months; however, when new peri-aortic abscesses developed, the patie...

Vulvar cancer is a gynecological cancer whose incidence rate is relatively low. Patients generally were admitted at advanced stage, and radiation therapy at advanced stage does not provide favorable prognosis. Two main modalities in the treatment of vulvar cancer are surgery and radiation therapy. However, radiation can be performed in early stage vulvar cancer but surgery is thought to have mo...

Prostate cancer is the most common malignant tumor in our country [1]. Radical surgery is used for the management of localized disease. Consistent results globally confirm the safety, reproducibility and effectiveness of roboticsurgery [2-4]. Robotic surgery for urologic disease is becoming increasingly widespread [5-6]. However, there is a known learning curve for this technology that can inhi...

Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy has been increasingly applied in China. However, how to reduce surgery-related trauma, shorten operative time and achieve the long-term prognosis equal to the conventional open surgery is still hot research topics. Along with the change in learning curve and the optimization of endoscopic techniques, laparoscopic lymph node dissection can achieve or even exceed ...

The purpose of the study was to investigate possible differences in the survival and outcome of malignant brain glioma patients when treated by two different methods of surgery. During a 3-year period, 32 glioma patients underwent surgery and oncological protocol afterwards. The patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical method applied. The case group comprised 11 patients ...

Inverted papillomas of the nose and paranasal sinuses are uncommon neoplasms, characterized by their tendency to occur and by their association with malignancy. In the past decade there has been a trend toward the use of endoscopic surgical techniques in the management of these tumors. This article presents the results of a prospective study of24 patients with inverted papilloma resected by...

AIM To analyze, retrospectively in a population-based study, the management and survival of patients with recurrent rectal cancer initially treated with a macroscopically radical resection obtained with total mesorectal excision (TME). METHODS All rectal carcinomas diagnosed during 1998 to 2000 and initially treated with a macroscopically radical resection (632 patients) were selected from th...

cervical cancer is complex. Competing factors that arise from the perspective of cancer control (survival), treatment toxicity, quality of life, and geographic location of the patient (related to access to specific healthcare resources) all play a role in the ultimate decision to pursue primary chemoradiation versus primary radical surgery. In the mind of most patients and their healthcare prov...

BACKGROUND In women with breast cancer, the role of radical mastectomy, as compared with less extensive surgery, has been a matter of debate. We report 25-year findings of a randomized trial initiated in 1971 to determine whether less extensive surgery with or without radiation therapy was as effective as the Halsted radical mastectomy. METHODS A total of 1079 women with clinically negative a...
