Minimally Invasive Approach for Mid-Esophageal and A Giant Epiphrenic Diverticula: Case Report

Case Report March 2016 859 Views

Esophageal diverticula are rare entities. We report our initial experience with a minimally invasive approach to mid-esophageal and epiphrenic diverticula in two cases. One patient with mid-esophageal diverticula was treated with esophagoscopy-guided thoracoscopic diverticulectomy. The other patient, with a large epiphrenic diverticulum, was treated with combined thoracoscopic diverticulectomy and laparoscopic esophagomyotomy and fundoplication. Thoracoscopic diverticulectomy is a safe and effective…

A Case of Synchronous Bilateral Upper Urinary System Urothelial Carcinoma

Case Report March 2016 896 Views

Synchronous bilateral upper urinary tract urothelial cancer (UTUC) is a very rare form of urothelial cancer. In patients with high-risk unilateral UTUC, radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) is the gold standard treatment. However, there is no consensus on the treatment for synchronous bilateral UTUC. Evaluation of the patient and the tumor is recommended. Bilateral nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) was performed on a 53-year-old…

Rare Case of Complete Fatty Degeneration of the Paraspinal Muscle in a Patient with Low Back Pain

Case Report March 2016 1069 Views

The ethiopathogenesis of low back pain cannot always be demonstrated and sometimes clinicians cannot establish a relationship between clinical symptoms and radiological examinations. Clinicians tend to focus on vertebral body, intervertebral discs, and facet joints on imaging in low back pain. However, the paravertebral muscles that play an important role in lumbar spine stabilization should not be underestimated on imaging.…
