Târgu Mureș, Romania, The 8th International Medical Congress for Students and Young Doctors, September 24-26, 2020Background. The most effective surgical technique in the pathology of inguinal hernia repair
is unknown. The standard method for inguinal hernia repair had changed little over the time
until the introduction of synthetic mesh. This mesh can be placed by either using an open
approach or by using a minimal access laparoscopic technique. In the inguinal hernia treatment
the laparoscopic approach has clear advantages, including less acute and chronic postoperative
pain, smaller incisions, or earlier return to work.
Case report. 36 year old, male patient without any significant past medical or past surgical
history, developed a giant inguino-scrotal hernia, whom we treated using a laparoscopic
approach combined with open sac removal with the incision on the scrotum. The mesh was
placed preperitoneal following the transabdominal preperitoneal procedure (TAPP). Due to the
size of the hernia sac and difficult laparoscopic dissection, we made an incision on the scrotum
and we practiced a transscrotal excision of the remaining sac. During the early postoperative
period, intensive care treatment was not necessary and no complications were registered. The
patient was discharged on postoperative day 3 in an excellent condition without any
accusations. After a follow-up of 1 month neither hernia recurrence, nor chronic groin pain,
nor sexual disorder were recorded.
Conclusions. Different approaches are possible. Open inguinal approach is commonly used in
case of giant inguino-scrotal hernias but laparoscopic approach is not impossible. The
transscrotal excision of the sac can prevent the formation of hydrocele and the technique can
serve the benefits of the laparoscopic treatment in esthetic point of view
Metasztázis miatt végzett máj- és hasfalreszekció 11 évvel a pancreatoduodenectomia után | Resection of liver and abdominal wall metastasis 11 years after pancreatoduodenectomy Case report
Absztrakt:
A pancreasrák prognózisa kedvezőtlen. A betegség kiújulása típusosan főleg a
posztoperatív első két évben történik. A késői és szoliter metasztázis azonban
ritka. Esetünkben egy férfi beteg kórtörténetét mutatjuk be, aki
hasnyálmirigyrák miatt radikális műtéten esett át. A betegnél 11 évvel később
egy szoliter májmetasztázist diagnosztizáltak, amelyet az épben reszekáltunk.
Egy évvel a műtét után betegünk jó általános állapotban van. Esetünk
demonstrálja, hogy pancreastumor miatt reszekcióban részesített betegeknél
indokolt lehet ismételt műtét késői, izolált metasztázis esetén. Orv Hetil.

Abstract:
Pancreatic cancer has adverse prognosis. Disease recurrence is typical and it
occurs mainly within the first 2 years postoperatively. However late and soliter
metastases are rare. This case report shows the history of a male patient, who
was radically operated on for pancreatic cancer. 11 years later a solitary liver
metastasis has developed and it was completely removed by resection. 1 year
postoperatively the patient is doing well. Our case demonstrates that in
patients after resection for pancreatic cancer, redo surgery might be justified
in case of late and isolated metastasis. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(28):

Endoscopic sphincterotomy for delaying choLecystectomy in mild acute biliarY pancreatitis (EMILY study): Protocol of a multicentre randomised clinical trial
Introduction: According to the literature, early cholecystectomy is necessary to avoid complications related to gallstones after an initial episode of acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP). A randomised, controlled multicentre trial (the PONCHO trial) revealed that in the case of gallstone-induced pancreatitis, early cholecystectomy was safe in patients with mild gallstone pancreatitis and reduced the risk of recurrent gallstone-related complications, as compared with interval cholecystectomy. We hypothesise that carrying out a sphincterotomy (ES) allows us to delay cholecystectomy, thus making it logistically easier to perform and potentially increasing the efficacy and safety of the procedure.
Methods/Design: EMILY is a prospective, randomised, controlled multicentre trial. All patients with mild ABP, who underwent ES during the index admission or in the medical history will be informed to take part in EMILY study. The patients will be randomised into two groups: (1) early cholecystectomy (within 6 days after discharge) and (2) patients with delayed (interval) cholecystectomy (between 45 and 60 days after discharge). During a 12-month period, 93 patients will be enrolled from participating clinics. The primary endpoint is a composite endpoint of mortality and recurrent acute biliary events (that is, recurrent ABP, acute cholecystitis, uncomplicated biliary colic and cholangitis). The secondary endpoints are organ failure, biliary leakage, technical difficulty of the cholecystectomy, surgical and other complications
