Comparing Esophagectomy Morbidity Profile Between Ivor Lewis and McKeown for Es...

Introduction: Esophagectomy has a crucial role in the treatment of esophageal cancer. Several different surgical techniques have been performed in order to achieve better postsurgical and oncological outcomes. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we compare two procedures - Ivor Lewis and McKeown - regarding their impact on morbidity. Methods: In March 2021, records from Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science a...

Laparoscopic Surgical Repair of a Giant Hiatal Hernia with Prothesis: How We Do...

Background: Giant hiatal hernias (GHH) account for 5-10% of all hiatal hernias. Most patients are asymptomatic, while others have debilitating and persistent symptoms affecting quality of life (QoL). GHHs are usually associated with chronic digestive and gastroesophageal reflux symptoms and acute severe complications may occur. Surgical treatment is usually indicated in cases of failure of optimal medical treat...

Synchronous Tumors: Minimally Invasive Surgery for Esophageal and Lung Cancer

Introduction: Synchronous esophageal and lung cancer is an uncommon entity with few descriptions in the literature. It poses a relevant challenge to health care providers regarding its management and surgical approach. Case report: We present the case of a 73-year-old male diagnosed with lung squamous-cell carcinoma after admission for a history of productive cough and episodic hemoptysis. An esophageal squamou...

Gastric Polyps in Familial Adenomatous Polyposis Portuguese Patients: The First...

Introduction: Chronic atrophic gastritis may contribute to gastric polyps (GP) phenotype in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). Considering the high prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection in Portugal, we aim to characterize GP in a series of Portuguese patients. Methods: In a retrospectively selected series of 53 FAP patients, clinical data and histopathological features of GP and background gastric...

Gut microbiota changes after metabolic surgery in adult diabetic patients with ...

Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery is one of the most efficient procedures for the treatment of obesity, also improving metabolic and inflammatory status, in patients with mild obesity. The underlying mechanisms have not been fully understood, but gut microbiota is hypothesized to play a key role. Our aim was to evaluate the association between gut microbiota changes and anthropometric, metabol...

Seismic analysis of a Mexican viaduct with nonlinear modelling of soil-structur...

Every day the need to understand earthquakes and how that phenomenon affects construction grows, to make it possible to prevent and minimize inherent risks to their relation. That need increases when projects are located in regions with large seismicity. Therefore, the present paper, which was developed in partnership with GEG - Gabinete de Estruturas e Geotecnia, has, as a final goal, to study and compare the ...
