This atypical presentation should be borne in mind while performing laparoscopy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We developed a decision analysis model to assess the cost-effectiveness of preoperative DSL in GC workup. METHODS: Analysis was based on a hypothetical cohort of GC patients in the U.S. for whom initial imaging shows no metastases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Staging of intra-abdominal cancers A significant percentage of intra-abdominal cancers prove to be inoperable because of metastatic or locally advanced disease despite a preoperative workup suggesting a potentially resectable disease. [emedicine.medscape.com]

CXR also is part of the basic workup for anyone suspected of having a gynecologic malignancy. [csh.org.tw]

The first is that a specific pathology is assumed following diagnostic workup and thus a specific procedure is planned, the second is that abdominal pathology of uncertain causation or severity is present, and thus the primary aim of laparoscopy will [wjes.biomedcentral.com]

Laparoscopic treatment is feasible for the treatment of SMA syndrome given its safety and minimal invasiveness. This is a report of the first case of single-incision laparoscopy-assisted duodenojejunostomy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Diode laser presents a recognized precision for tissue cutting and coagulation and its use could be highly advantageous in SPAL surgery and in particular in such situations avoiding fallopian tube histology distortion and consequently improve the prognosis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In the future, because of its well known advantages, laparoscopic surgery may appear as a way to decrease the consequences of oncologic treatments in patients with low risk tumors and to propose more aggressive treatments of patients with bad prognosis [research.nu.edu.kz]

Esophageal cancer Esophageal cancer often presents with locally advanced tumors, as well as lymph node or distant metastases, and is associated with an overall poor prognosis. [emedicine.medscape.com]

OBJECTIVE: To perform a comprehensive literature review of the incidence, location, etiology, timing, management, and long-term sequelae of urinary tract injury in gynecologic laparoscopy for benign indication. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In 30-40% of these patients, the etiology of the abdominal pain remains elusive despite laboratory and radiologic investigations. [emedicine.medscape.com]

This study evaluated the epidemiology of adhesion-related readmissions following open and laparoscopic procedures. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Recent epidemiological data have demonstrated the true extent of adhesion-related complications, and evidence is emerging on the level of associated risk for patients. [doi.org]

Although the pathophysiology of PI remains unclear, 2 theories, one mechanical and the other bacterial, have been proposed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
