As one of the most popular methods for treating hemorrhoidal diseases, hemorrhoidectomy with LigaSure devices has been proven to have less postoperative pain and has gained in popularity among surgeons. Howeve...
Despite increasing focus on the technical performance of total mesorectal excision over recent decades, anastomotic leakage (AL) continues to be a serious complication for many patients, even in the hands of e...
The surgical strategy among patients with malignancy and coronary artery disease (CAD) remains controversial. In this study, we present the experiences of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients wit...
Autologous split-thickness skin grafts (STSGs) remain the mainstay for treatment of large skin defects. Despite its many advantages, there exist critical disadvantages such as unfavorable scar and graft contra...
