Bronchial sleeve resections are technically demanding procedures compared with lobectomies. In case of bronchial anastomotic dehiscence, secondary pneumonectomy is the treatment of choice. However, a secondary pneumonectomy is usually associated with high morbidity and mortality. Here, we first report, to the best of our knowledge, a secondary lingular sleeve resection following bronchial anast...

Among the existing weight-loss procedures, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy has gained increasing popularity in the past decade, due to its remarkable results concerning EWL and resolution of comorbidities. Also because it seems fast and easy and doesn’t have the burden of often visits and adjustments as it used to be with the cases of gastric banding. However, most of major concerns for a team ...

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is used increasingly for obesity treatment. The most important complications of this procedure are bleeding and staple line leak.

Background: A new endoscopically and fluoroscopically placed duodenal-jejunal bypass device developed for weight loss is a 60cm flouropolymer sheath, which expands and anchors in the duodenal bulb via barbs. A prior small uncontrolled trial found short-term weight loss in obese recipients. Objective: To test the duodenal-jejunal sleeve in a randomized controlled trial. Design: Open label, claim...

Concepts of neuronal damage and repair date back to ancient times. The research in this topic has been growing ever since and numerous nerve repair techniques have evolved throughout the years. Due to our greater understanding of nerve injuries and repair we now distinguish between central and peripheral nervous system. In this review, we have chosen to concentrate on peripheral nerve injuries ...
