Twenty-five percent of radically treated colorectal cancer patients already have occult hepatic metastases (OHM) that will later be observed during postoperative follow-up. Instrumental examinations, i.e., intraoperative ultrasound or Doppler perfusion index, have not improved diagnosis. As carcinoembyonic antigen (CEA) levels are useful to reveal hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer, determi...... hiện toàn bộ

Surgical educator effectiveness is valued but lacks an operational definition. Clearly defining attributes consistent with effective surgical educators allows for the development of professional activities directed to nurture these qualities. Our aim was to identify the literature defining qualities of an effective surgical educator, and tools to measure effectiveness. We searched PubMed, Medline,...... hiện toàn bộ
Anatomie resection for severe blunt liver trauma in 100 patients: Significant differences between young and elderlyWorld Journal of Surgery - Tập 26 - Trang 544-549 - 2002

The liver is the organ most commonly injured during blunt abdominal trauma. As our society ages, emergency surgery for active elderly patients increases, but data on aggressive emergency hepatic resection remain scarce in the literature. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the elderly (70 years of age or older) can tolerate major liver injury and subsequent hepatic resection. We inv...... hiện toàn bộ

This study evaluated the usefulness of routine, nonfocused intravenous contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) in diagnosing acute appendicitis. Also evaluated was the diagnostic value of several findings that were clinically associated with acute appendicitis. Although a number of studies have shown various techniques using CT to be accurate in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis, few studies ...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractTo determine how quality of life changes over time and to assess gender‐related differences in quality of life of rectal cancer patients we conducted a 5‐year study. Little is known about how quality of life (QoL) changes over time in patients after surgery for rectal cancer, and whether gender of the patients is associated with a different perception of Qo...... hiện toàn bộ
