Journal Article
Laparoscopic management of small bowel intussusception in a 16-year-old with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome.
TL;DR: Small bowel obstructions can be managed successfully with minimally invasive approaches and the treatment of obstruction in patients is to remove the offending hamartomatous polyp(s).
Journal ArticleDOI
Abdominal Wall Pain: A Common Clinical Problem.
TL;DR: Increased awareness of AWP as a cause of chronic, nonvisceral abdominal pain can prevent fruitless searches for intra‐abdominal pathology and reduce medical costs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preoperative Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer: Treatment Outcomes and Analysis of Prognostic Factors
TL;DR: Preoperative chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer resulted in a high rate of overall survival, sphincter preservation, down-staging, and pathologic complete response, and the patients achieving pathologiccomplete response had very favorable outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surgical Experiences of Functioning Neuroendocrine Neoplasm of the Pancreas
TL;DR: Surgical experiences with functioning neuroendocrine neoplasms of the pancreas are presented to define its natural history, and to suggest its proper management.

Journal ArticleDOI
Frequency of abdominal wall hernias: is classical teaching out of date?
TL;DR: The epidemiology of hernia repair (retrospective review) over 30 years is investigated to determine whether the relative frequencies of hernias are evolving and contrasts with hernia incidence figures quoted in common reference books.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Pancreas
TL;DR: Although tumor origin and molecular pathogenesis remain poorly understood, recently established grading and staging systems facilitate patient risk stratification, and thereby directly impact clinical decision making, surgery remains the only curative treatment for early-stage disease.
Journal Article

Robert Freelove,Anne D. Walling +1 more

Treatment of malignant pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma with cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and dacarbazine: recommendation from a 22-year follow-up of 18 patients.
Hui Huang,Jame Abraham,Elizabeth Hung,Steven D. Averbuch,Maria J. Merino,Seth M. Steinberg,Karel Pacak,Tito Fojo +7 more
TL;DR: A long‐term follow‐up was conducted of 18 patients with a diagnosis of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma treated with a combination of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and dacarbazine (CVD).
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammatory mechanisms contributing to pancreatic cancer development.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that similar inflammatory components and downstream effectors are present in CP and pancreatic cancers, and suggest that a common pathway for pancreatic cancer development may be through a chronic inflammatory process including stroma formation.
