Operaties voor kanker aan lever en maag-darm stelsel zijn vaak ingrijpend en complex. Belangrijk doel is de tumor radicaal te verwijderen en het deel wat is verwijderd te reconstrueren. Tot voor kort werden deze operaties via grote sneden in de buik of borstholte uitgevoerd. Steeds vaker kunnen dez
Background: The majority of sentinel node (SN) positive breast cancer patients do not have additional non-SN involvement and may not benefit from axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). Previous studies in melanoma have suggested that microanatomic localization of SN metastases may predict non-SN inv
With interest we read the article by Galvani and coauthors in which they describe their initial experience with laparoscopic transhiatal esophagectomy partly aided by a robotic system. Their series consists of 18 selected patients with Barrett’s esophagus and high-grade dysplasia (n = 9), adenocarci
Background: This study evaluated the frequency, the indications and techniques of vascular clamping during liver resection and during thermal destruction therapies, as currently used by hepatic surgeons throughout Europe. Methods: A web-based questionnaire was distributed among 621 physicians, inclu
BACKGROUND: The primary role of sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping in colon cancer is to increase the accuracy of nodal staging by identifying those lymph nodes with the greatest potential for harbouring metastatic disease. Ultrastaging techniques aim to identify the otherwise undetected metastases.
Background: The need for routine axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) in patients with invasive breast cancer and low-volume sentinel node (SN) involvement is questionable. Accurate prediction of second echelon lymph node involvement could identify those patients most likely to benefit from ALND.Me
