In this compilation, the authors begin with a focus on the
indications for surgery in hepatocarcinoma and how to perform a
liver resection. Long-term outcomes and different theories on the
causes of recurrence after resection are also discussed.Most
patients with hepatocarcinoma have underlying chronic liver disease
and are thus at high risk for development of postoperative
complications, which can sometimes be fatal. The authors propose
that we may be able to prolong the overall survival of patients by
using laparoscopic liver resection as a powerful local therapy,
which can be applied repeatedly with minimal deterioration of liver
function.Bronchoscopy has become an important procedure for
diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, particularly in the context of
lung cancer. As such, the medical and surgical advances in
bronchoscopy are described herein.Post-operative pancreatic fistula
is one of the most dreaded complications in any pancreatic
operation given its associated morbidity and mortality. This
collection examines how the amylase-rich fluid can cause
inflammation, become infected, or cause serious bleeding from
neighboring vasculature.The authors go on to discuss cystic
fibrosis, the most common life-threatening autosomal recessive
disorder affecting Caucasians. The indications of endoscopic sinus
surgery in cystic fibrosis patients are discussed, drawing from
personal experience in the diagnosis and treatment of cystic
fibrosis-related sinus disorders.Following this, the origins of
functional sinus surgery as it relates to the evolution of
functional endoscopic sinus surgery and minimally invasive sinus
technique are discussed. The rationale for our departure from
Messerklingers functional concepts is also analyzed.Additionally,
endoscopic sinus surgery complications should be distinguished in
minor and major based on the treatment they need and the permanent
sequelae they can cause. Over the years, the incidence of
complications in endoscopic surgery has gone from 8% for the major
and 21% for the minor to a percentage of 0 -1.5% and 1.1 - 20.8%,
respectively.Sphenoid sinus is very close to important and
vulnerable structures of the skull base and therefore a delayed
diagnosis and treatment can be lethal. Thus, the authors provide a
review of classification of transsphenoidal skull base approaches
and show the main transnasal corridors to the sphenoid sinus based
on the anatomical sphenoidal target and extension of
pathology.Lastly, a synopsis of the pathophysiology of
post-craniotomy temporomandibular dysfunction and a practical
approach to its evaluation and treatment is provided. Several
surgical procedures can be used to perform craniotomy, such as the
classical pterional, pre-temporal and other fronto-temporal
approaches. However, they are all based on the dissection of the
temporal muscle, which can lead to a variety of negative side
effects.
