  Journal of Surgery -  JuniperPublishers Abstract Introduction:  Biliary calculus disease is one of the most common disorders and is an important cause of morbidity world over. In USA and Europe, the prevalence of biliary calculus disease ranges from 7% to 33% among general population. Though accurate estimates are not available, gall stones disease forms an important cause of suffering in India. In recent years, Helicobacter pylori has been detected in the human bile and gall bladder tissues. This has evoked considerable interest in the possibilities of colonization and causation of biliary calculus disease by this organism.Here is the study for investigating the evidence of Helicobacter infection by histopathological and serological methods at R.L. Jalappa hospital, Kolar, Karnataka which caters mainly for rural population. Materials and methods:  During the period November 2011 to August 2013, 65 patients with clinical features of biliary calculus disease admitte...

  Journal of Surgery -  JuniperPublishers Abstract Aim:  In this study, we wanted to report the place of mesh use in our clinic in the treatment of incisional hernia in elective and emergency cases. Methods:  Patients who operated for incisional hernia under urgent and elective conditions were evaluated in the General Surgery Clinic of Göztepe Training and Research Hospital of the Istanbul Medeniyet University between January 2014 and September 2015. Patient files, surgical notes and patient reports were screened retrospectively. IBM SPSS Statistics Version 23 was used for statistical analysis of data and findings. Results:  A total of 149 patients examining the demographic information of elective and emergency cases operated with the diagnosis of incisional hernia in our clinic. Between January 2014 –September 2015, 149 cases with incisional hernia, 125 of them were elective and 24 were emergency conditions, were operated in our clinic. Coclusion:  We conc...

  Journal of Surgery -  JuniperPublishers Abstract Follicular variant of papillary carcinoma of thyroid (FVPTC) constitutes approximately 10% of papillary carcinoma of thyroid. Classic papillary carcinoma of thyroid (PTC) and the follicular variant of PTC have similar prognostic implications. The encapsulated follicular variant of PTC is usually quite indolent with an excellent prognosis. We report herein a case of a right follicular variant of papillary carcinoma thyroid with right submandibular lymph node metastasis. The diagnosis of follicular variant of papillary carcinoma of thyroid was made after histopathological examination of specimen after surgery. Go to Introduction Follicular variant of papillary carcinoma of thyroid (FVPTC) whether invasive or not, behaves like usual PTC, with multiple tumor foci in the gland in many cases, lymphatic invasion and nodal metastases, and rare hematogenous spread [1,2]. FVPTC is defined by the presence of tumor cells arranged almost e...

Journal of Surgery -  JuniperPublishers Introduction Altemeir first described hepatic hilar cholangiocarcinoma in 1957 [1]. In 1965, a series of 13 cases of hepatic hilar cholangiocarcinoma was reported by Klatskin [2]. This tumor makes up about 60% of all cholangiocarcinoma. Anatomically, this tumor situates at special site, i.e. hilar biliary bifurcation within a limited small space, close to vessels (portal vein, hepatic artery) and liver (especially caudate lobe). Biologically, it usually grows slowly and locally, with submucosal infiltration (up to 1.6 cm from gross margin of the tumor), neurovascular infiltration and lymphnode metastasis, but less often with distance metastasis. Therapeutically, its resection usually is difficult, especially to obtain R0 resection, while it does not respond well with chemo-and/or radiational therapy. Local recurrence is high (>50%), leading treatment failure and poor outcome [3]. When humans ingest the eggs of the tapeworm, embryo...
