Background and Importance: The extent of resection seems a solid prognostic factor in patients suffering from high-grade gliomas (HGGs). When administered orally, 5-ALA is exclusively converted by malignant cells into protoporphyrin IX (PPIX), identifying contrast-enhancing glial lesions under blue 400-nm light. The authors thoroughly assess the efficacy, accuracy, and safety profile of 5-ALA-g...

Backgrounds and Objectives: Today we are witnessed a growing number of minimally invasive surgical techniques for different diseases. Laparoscopic colon surgery as a minimally invasive surgery is currently growing in treatment of malignancies after proving his place in the treatment of benign diseases. We compare in this study results of laparoscopic colorectal surgery with open surgery. Method...
