Abstract
Follow-up after finishing the primary therapy has become a routine aimed to an early detection of relapse, decreasing the mortality and improving the quality of patient's life. Main aim of the follow-up is to prolong the life of the patient. No prospective randomized study confirming...

Abstract
Vascular injury due to penetrating abdominal trauma is a major challenge for trauma teams. Arterial and venous injuries occur with equal frequency. Treatment depends on the hemodynamic status of the patient: under stable conditions, angiography can be envisioned, whereas instability is an indication...

Abstract
Secondary surgery seems to reduce the risk of recurrence in patients with serous LMPOT and peritoneal implants. Patients with residual disease are probably those likely to benefit from such surgery. Further studies are needed to confirm these preliminary results....

Abstract
Fourteen cases in group A and 13 cases in group B were examined by second-look arthroscopy. According to Photoshop analysis, ACL graft in group B had better red chroma appearance than group A. Two peaks were observed on grade three red chroma curve. CONCLUSION: Residual ACL tissue can be preserved d...

Abstract
Echo-planar diffusion-weighted MRI can differentiate between brain tissue and cholesteatoma more accurately than CT. We recommend that otolaryngologists avoid unnecessary revision procedures by using the newest imaging modalities for more precise diagnosis of patients who had undergone mastoidectomy...

Abstract
Second look nephroscopy based on endoscopic findings during initial percutaneous nephrolithotomy is a reliable method of detecting and clearing residual stone fragments. Using such a protocol we achieved a high success rate of stone clearance in a population of patients with a significant stone burd...

Abstract
Twenty-two patients underwent 23 second-look or revision procedures. All patients had DW MRI before their "second-look" or revision surgery. TSE DW MRI detected cholesteatomas in 7 patients whom all had disease confirmed at second-look or revision surgery. In 16 cases shown to be negative on DW MRI...

Abstract
The first laparoscopic appendectomy was performed over 25 years ago, and yet controversy still exists over the open method vs. the laparoscopic approach, and whether an incidental appendectomy is warranted. This study aimed to evaluate our experience in performing a laparoscopic incidental appendecto...

Abstract
An important observation is that the survival rate in patients with recurrence after negative SLL was significantly lower compared to patients with microscopic disease. The probable explanation for favorable prognosis in the group with microscopic disease was early administration of chemotherapy aft...

Abstract
For large bucket-handle meniscus tears involving red-red and red-white zones, an arthroscopic hybrid suture technique with ACL reconstruction achieves high anatomic healing results, with an overall meniscal healing rate of 89.6%, including 82.1% completely healed and 7.5% incompletely healed. The fa...

Local relapses were more frequent for patients without RT, especially in pelvic sites. The two relapses after RT occurred in huge bladder-prostate RMS. Although the limited number of patients does not allow statistically significant conclusions, our experience suggests that RT may have a positive in...

Abstract
We compared the arthroscopic status of chondral lesions at the time of ACL reconstruction with that obtained at second-look arthroscopy. We hypothesized that there might be a location-specific difference in the healing response of damaged articular cartilage. Between September 1998 and March 2000, 3...

Abstract
Treatment of peptic duodenal and gastric ulcers has improved in efficiency and become less invasive. There is still a considerable risk of re-bleeding (15-20%) and the mortality remains high (5-14%). A Danish study from 2000 showed that scheduled second look endoscopy (SLE) the day after the primary...

Abstract
Patients with initial omental metastasis, advanced stage and high grade tumors have highest risk for developing recurrences after a (-) SLL. Most of the recurrences develop during the initial 2 years following the (-) SLL and survival drops to less than 2 years once a recurrence is found.

Primary cytoreductive surgery caused longer survival compared to neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

There were not significant differenc...
