the aim of this study is to prove that laparoscopic approach in
experienced hands is the treatment
of choice for adrenal masses (up to 10 cm)
the study was conducted in Al Asad University
hospital between 2004-2006.By
reviewing the files of 22 p
atients with adrenal mass retrospectively and
prospectively all of them were done
laparoscopicaly except one case in which the operation was converted to
open approach .the variables that
considered in this study were the difficulty of the procsdure,time of surgery,
the ratio of conversion to the
classic approach (open adrenalectomy ^morbidity and mortality rates.
Cerebrospinal fluid ( CSF ) rhinorrhoea may arise from a variety of
pathologies. There is a high risk of developing meningitis, with all the
associated morbidity and mortality. The diagnosis of (CSF) Rhinorroea
should be established beyond reasona
ble doubt before surgical intervention
is embarked upon. I describe management algorithm witch centers around
the selective use of nasal endoscopy immunofixation of bata 2 Transferrin.
OBJECTIVES: Hydatidosis is an infectious widespread disease
caused by Echinococcus granulsus. The involvement may be single,
multiple or combined in different organs especially in the liver and
lungs. The surgical excision is still the treatment o
f choice through
thoracotomy, laparotomy, thoraco-abdominal and sternotomy. The aim
of this study was to introduce a new surgical approach for pulmonary
hydatid cysts using video assisted thoracoscopic surgical methods.
METHODS: 88 patients (age range 6-74 years) underwent surgery
for single pulmonary hydatid cysts from 1996-1999. 40 were females
and 48 were males. 33 had an intact cyst, 33 had a ruptured cyst to the
bronchus, 7 had rupture to the pleural cavity and 15 had an infected
cyst.
All patients underwent a minithoracotomy with video-assisted
thoracoscopy.
تهدف الدراسة إلى إلقاء الضوء على نتائج الجراحة المفتوحة و الجراحة التنظيرية في
القطر العربي السوري. و من الجدير بالذكر أن هناك وسائل حديثة أهمها الرنين المغناطيسي؛
و لكن مجال دراستنا فقط المقارنة بين التنظير و الجراحة المفتوحة.
