Spontaneous Bowel Evisceration Through Umbilical Hernia Sites in Adult Patients: A Systematic Review of the Literature.

Background: The literature reports few instances of spontaneous bowel eviscerations through umbilical hernia sites. Spontaneous rupture of the hernia sac is a less common complication, primarily associated with persistent ascites or congenital wall defects.

Materials And Methods: A systematic review was conducted using the PubMed database-the United States National Library of Medicine, with the search terms "spontaneous bowel evisceration" and "umbilical hernia evisceration".

Positioning of the Central Venous Catheter for Hemodialysis Using Wireless Intracavitary ECG: A Case Series and Narrative Review of the Literature.

This study aimed to evaluate the practicality and feasibility of using intracavitary electrocardiography to confirm the proper placement of a central venous catheter for hemodialysis. Central venous catheters are typically placed using an echo-guided technique based on anatomical landmarks, followed by X-ray confirmation. Anesthesiology guidelines recommend evaluating the intracavitary electrocardiogram during the procedure to verify the correct CVC placement.

Non-recurrent Laryngeal Nerve During Intraoperative Neuromonitoring Thyroidectomy: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Complete and precise knowledge of the neck anatomy and its eventual anomalies is crucial while performing a safe thyroid and parathyroid surgery. Embryo-genetic malformations of the IV branchial arch can lead to an uncommon anatomical alteration known as non-recurrent inferior laryngeal nerve. Its prevalence varies between 0.

Meckel's Diverticulum Causing Ileal Volvulus and Peritonitis after a Recent Appendectomy: A Case Report and Literature Review-We Should Likely Resect an Incidental MD.

Meckel's diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract with a 1-3% prevalence in the general population. The surgical management of symptomatic MD is well described in the literature, but there is still no consensus on the indication for prophylactic resection of incidental asymptomatic MD. To address this issue, we extensively reviewed the current literature and report our experience with laparoscopic management of an unusual case of MD causing ileal volvulus and acute peritonitis two weeks after a laparoscopic appendectomy for acute gangrenous appendicitis performed in another hospital.

Laparoscopic vs Open Treatment for Gastric and Non-Gastric Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors: a Two-Center Experience.

We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 109 patients who underwent curative laparoscopic or open resection for different types of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Only primary GIST patients who did not receive preoperative chemotherapy or oral imatinib treatment were included in the analysis. We divided the patients into 2 groups according to the surgical approach:a laparoscopic group (LAP) and a laparotomic group (OPEN).

Peyronie's disease development and management in diabetic men.

Background: Peyronie's disease (PD) is a fibrosing disorder of the penis resulting in plaque formation and penile deformity that negatively affect sexual and psychosocial function of patients. A multifactorial etiology of PD is assumed with diabetes mellitus (DM) being a potential risk factor.

Objectives: The aim of this narrative review was to investigate diabetes role in PD pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment.
