Objective: Eustachian tube function is of central importance for the ventilation
of the middle ear. A dysfunction can be associated with chronic otitis media,
and cholesteatoma. Balloon Eustachian tube dilatation (BET) is a treatment
option used to solve eustachian tube dysfunction. Although BET is widely
performed, little is known about the occurrence rate of the complications
associated with BET... hiện toàn bộ
BackgroundColocolic intussusception is a rare subtype of intussusception mostly
caused by juvenile polyps. The treatment of colocolic intussusception caused by
other pathologic lead points in children remains poorly understood.MethodA
systematic literature review was performed between January 2000 and June 2021 to
characterize the comprehensive treatment of colocolic intussusception in
children. T... hiện toàn bộ
Neoadjuvant therapy improves overall survival compared with a surgery-first
approach in patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC).
Evidence of higher quality is required to determine whether neoadjuvant therapy
has potential benefits and improves survival for patients with resectable
pancreatic cancer (RPC). Most randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have explored
short-course neo... hiện toàn bộ

With the increasing use of neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) in patients with pancreatic
cancer to reduce tumor burden on prognosis, preoperative biliary drainage (PBD)
is becoming increasingly necessary. The aim of this study was to summarize the
latest evidence and compare the clinical efficacy of metal stents (MS) and
plastic stents (PS) in patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy for operable
pancreati... hiện toàn bộ

ObjectiveRobot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is a dynamically evolving
technique with its new evolution of single-site RARP. Here we sought to describe
our extraperitoneal technique, named the single-site multiport RARP (ssmpRARP)
using the da Vinci Si® platform and compare it with the transperitoneal
conventional multiport RARP (cmpRARP).Materials and MethodsData were
