Colon interposition after esophagectomy with extended lymphadenectomy for esophageal cancer.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the feasibility of colon interposition procedures after esophagectomy with extended lymphadenectomy. METHODS: Between 1990 and 2008, 95 consecutive patients underwent colon ... Read more...

Treatment of recurrent varicose veins of the great saphenous vein by conventional surgery and endovenous laser ablation.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: Varicose vein recurrence of the great saphenous vein (GSV) is a common, costly, and complex problem. The aim of the study was to assess feasibility of endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) in recurrent varicose veins of the GSV and to compare ... Read more...

Laparoscopic-assisted treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm requiring suprarenal cross-clamping.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery (HALS) was previously employed to treat patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (IAAA). The use of HALS for juxtarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (JAAA) has never been validated. In this study, ... Read more...
