Perforations of the duodenum are a significant source of morbidity in clinical practice. Surgical repair is usually mandated, but it is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Until recently, there has been no technique available which reproducibly and safely allowed endoscopic closures of penetrating defects within the digestive tract. With the new over-the-scope clipping system",...

BACKGROUND The aim of this report was to review our early experience of the last 7 years with repairs of congenital duodenal obstruction (CDO) to determine the efficacy and outcomes of laparoscopic repairs compared to laparotomy. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted on all neonate (<30 days) with CDO between 2009 and 2015. Patients with duodenal atresia, stenosis, web, and annular pan...

In order to find the most effective schedule of Mitomycine C (MMC) treatment against tumor bearing individuals, an investigation was made to compare the growth kinetics of solid and ascites tumor cells with that of intestinal mucosa cells before and after MMC treatment. In the duodenal crypt epithelium of the mouse, desoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis as measured by thymidine uptake was firs...

Objective. Duodenal atresia (DA) routinely has been corrected by laparotomy and duodenoduodenostomy with excellent long-term results. We revisited the patients with DA treated in the last 12 years (2004-2016) comparing the open and the minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approach. Methods. We divided our cohort of patients into two groups. Group 1 included 10 patients with CDO (2004-09) treated w...

Background: The surgical treatment of perforated duodenal ulcers is not controversial; however, the best strategy still up for debate. perforation closure with an omental patch or without it during surgery basis treatment. Laparoscopic can now be used to repair a ulcer due developments in minimal access surgery. Aim: In this analysis, results open versus laparoscopic were compared terms operati...

INTRODUCTION Peptic ulcer perforation (PPU) is a common surgical emergency and the mortality rate ranges 10% to 40%, especially in elderly patients. Laparoscopic repair achieved encouraging results. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled patients performing surgical repair for PPU from January 2007 to December 2015 in our surgical unit. The aim of this retrospective observational study was to comp...
