INTRODUCTION Conventionally, patients who failed endoscopic removal of common bile duct stones (CBDS) by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) would be treated with open cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration. Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) is an established option for treating CBDS. The aim of this paper was to look at the feasibility of LCBDE as ...

Background: Biochemical relapse after radical prostatectomy can be found in a large number of cases. Salvage lymphadenectomy is safe procedure that has been proposed through years patients with nodal recurrence. We aim to present an unusual post operative complication this scenario. Case Report: A patient submitted robotic salvage lymphadenectomy. At the fifth day started drainage high volume s...

We present two cases of breast reconstruction using abdominal tissue expansion as a salvage procedure for those patients who have had multiple sequential complications using the traditional free flap techniques yet still request some form of reliable breast reconstruction.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) has gained popularity in recent years. If it fails, however, salvage arthrodesis must be reliable as a rescue procedure. We therefore investigated the clinical, radiographic, and subjective outcome after salvage arthrodesis in a consecutive group of patients, and concentrated on the influence of the method of fixation on union rate and on sa...
