Idiopathic giant abdominal lymph cyst: a case report

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Introduction</p> <p>Giant lymph cysts are a relatively frequent complication after surgical procedures in the abdomen, often after kidney transplantation, but there are also cases after pelvic surgery such as lymphadenectomy and others. In the recent literature, there have been no reported cases of idiopathic giant lymphocyst.</p> <p>Case presentation</p> <p>We present the case of a 76-year-old Caucasian man who had a lymph cyst he had known of for more than 15 years. Laparoscopic treatment was necessary because of hydronephrosis of the left kidney.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>This case shows that laparoscopic drainage and partial resection of the lymph cyst is a safe and effective treatment.</p

Reconstruction of the urethra with a Surgisis^® onlay patch in urethral reconstructive surgery: two case reports

Abstract Introduction We present two case reports of patients with recurrent stricture of the urethra. We used Surgisis® for reconstruction. Case presentation In these two case reports, we show the positive results of reconstructive surgery with Surgisis® as an alternative surgical approach to common onlay patch surgery of the urethra performed on two Caucasian patients: a 48-year-old man and a 55-year-old man. Conclusion Compared to buccal mucosa flap or foreskin graft surgeries for urethral reconstruction, reconstructive surgery with Surgisis® is considered a relevant therapeutic alternative because of the shorter operation time and the preventable surgery of the buccal cavity or foreskin.</p
