Background: Despite improved surgical techniques and perioperative management, anastomotic leakage (AL) after esophageal cancer surgery remains a potential complication. In most cases, spontaneous healing upon proper drainage is observed,
A parotid fistula is a rare, extremely unpleasant disease. Patients with chronic pathologies of the facial soft tissues have a high complication rate after aggressive treatments. Alternative conservative treatments have recently been reported for this condition. The case is described of a parotid
A parotid fistula is a rare and extremely unpleasant condition. In this paper, we present the case of a 53-year-old woman with a diagnosis of posttraumatic fistula of the parotid gland. After exclusion of other therapeutic alternatives, it was decided to use transdermal scopolamine patches at
Our aim was to investigate whether perioperative transdermal application of scopolamine could help to prevent fistulas after parotidectomy, and to this end we retrospectively studied the records of all patients (n=645) who had benign parotid tumours treated by partial parotidectomy between 2011 and
Parotid fistula represents an uncommon complication in parotid surgery. Its early recognition contributes to successful management. The condition is distressing for both the patient and the surgeon, since conservative and operative treatment frequently fail. There is no consensus on the optimal
BACKGROUND
Post-rhytidectomy sialocele is a rare complication. The usual treatment uses prolonged drainage. The use of antisialogogues has been described previously, but has potential side effects. Transdermal scopolamineSCOPODERM TTS is indicated for the prevention of motion sickness and also has
Metastases to the skin complicated by enterocutaneous fistula are a rare event in gynecological malignancies. We present the case of a 70-year-old woman with uterine cervix carcinoma metastatic to the skin and treated with surgery and radiotherapy. The last relapse to the skin was complicated by the
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to compare magnetic resonance enteroclysis (MRE) findings with those of colonoscopy, using locust bean gum (LBG) as an oral contrast agent in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with Crohn's disease.
METHODS
Nine patients with histologically proven Crohn 's
This paper will discuss therapeutic possibilities for disorders of the vestibular organs and the neurons involved, which confront ENT clinicians in everyday practice. Treatment of such disorders can be tackled either symptomatically or causally. The possible strategies for restoring the body's
