Aim. In these case series which are about type 3 open tibial fractures formed with three different high energy trauma etiologies in different parts of tibia. We aimed to assess our three-stage treatment approach and discuss final results of our elective surgery management with three different fixation methods. Patients and Methods. We assessed 19 patients with type 3 open tibial fractures betwe...

Trigone meningiomas are considered a surgical challenge, as they tend to be considerably large and hypervascularized at the time of presentation. We experienced a case of a large and very hard trigone meningioma that was effectively treated using initial microsurgical feeder occlusion followed by surgery in stages. A 19-year-old woman who presented with loss of consciousness was referred to our...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Demonstrate whether intraoperative nerve monitoring is an effective tool in staging bilateral thyroid and neck surgeries in cases of intraoperative injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve on the side of initial dissection. We hypothesized that IONM provides reliable and appropriate feedback on the functional status of the RLN on side of initial dissection during total thyr...

BACKGROUND Struma ovarii is a rare disease. Malignant transformation is even rarer. Data about its management are lacking. We describe the first reported case of a malignant struma ovarii treated and staged by laparoscopy. CASE A 49-year-old patient was operated by laparoscopy for a right ovarian teratoma. The patient did not show symptoms of hyperthyroidism. The ovarian teratoma was removed ...

Stenting as a bridge to surgery (SBTS) is a relatively novel procedure, potentially useful to treat symptomatic left-sided malignant colonic obstruction. The clinical use of SBTS has been mainly suggested in advanced or non resectable tumors, in order to avoid the need for emergency surgery, thus obtaining a good palliation and, at the same time, delaying the elective major procedure. SBTS migh...
