A 53-year-old man had a history of alcohol-induced chronic pancreatitis. In July 2011, because of suspicion of a pseudocyst infection, he had undergone endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided cyst drainage. Further investigation after drainage had revealed a fistula between the pancreatic pseudocyst and descending colon; however, the transgastric internal drainage tubewas left in place because of th...

Objective: In this clinical retrospective study, we aimed to evaluate giant hydatid lung cyst cases as a different clinical entity that recorded in last 10 years in our clinic. Methods: Between February 1990 and May 2000, a total of 305 hydatid lung cyst cases from patients that had been operated were reviewed, and 67 (21.9%) cysts with more than 10 cm in diameters of them were regarded as a gi...

We present the case of an 80-year-old woman with obesity (BMI: 32.4), who had Kellgren–Lawrence stage IV osteoarthritis of the right knee. She had a history of an anterolateral mass on her right knee for the past 6 years which was round, fluctuating in consistency, non-painful and with no associated erythema, and did not impede movement (Fig. 1A). No prior trauma had been documented. She had re...

OBJECTIVE In recent years, several surgical disciplines adopted endoscopic techniques. Presently, natural orifice approaches are under exploration to reduce surgical access trauma. We have developed a trans-oral endoscopic approach for endoscopic mediastinal surgery and have tested this new technique in preclinical studies for feasibility and safety. METHODS We conducted an experimental anato...

APIDLY expanding congenital cysts of the lung may appear suddenly during infancy. Recognition is simple and prompt surgical treatment is effective. The condition is not common enough to be at one’s diagnostic fingertips but is usually so characteristic and dramatic that one case leaves a lasting impression. Six congenital lung cysts, all emergencies, and all in infants, were seen within two yea...

The surgical approach to hydatid cyst of the lung is based on complete removal of the parasite, and management of the residual pericyst cavity. For the latter, capitonnage is a recognized method, by which the walls of the evacuated pericyst cavity are approximated with multiple sutures. Capitonnage without suturing and ligation of bronchial openings individually may lead to postoperative air le...
