Abstract The authors have analyzed the problem of Mirizzi syndrome (MS) and found in the literature that it was reported in 0.3% to 3% of patients undergoing cholecystectomy. Anatomic disorder, especially the presence of cholecystocholedochal fistula, increases the risk of bile duct injury during cholecystectomy, albeit more often during laparoscopic than laparotomic cholecystectomy. A comparative study was performed regarding the incidence of MS in two groups of patients: 332 patients in Zrenjanin in the year 2009, and 531 patients in Belgrade in the year 2005, with an incidence of MS found in 2 patients in Zrenjanin (0.63%) and 4 patients in Belgrade (0.75%). The incidence rate was 6% in Zrenjanin and 7.5% in Belgrade, but there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. All patients with MS were diagnosed during the operative period using operative cholangiography. During preoperative diagnosis, patients underwent laboratory ultrasound examination, and those who were suspected of having an anatomic disorder underwent operative cholangiography, although patients today more often undergo choledochoscopy then cholangiography. MS according to classification by Csendes was found in all 6 patients undergoing operation.

Encapsulating Peritonitis

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) is a disease that is rarely encountered clinically. Preoperative diagnosis of SEP can be difficult. However, with imaging technology, such as computed tomography (CT), this condition can be diagnosed without surgery and pathological analysis. SEP is characterized by small intestine being partially or completely encased by a layer of a thick grayish-white fibrocollagenous membrane similar to a cocoon. The most common symptoms of SEP are abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. SEP often leads to intestinal obstruction. Our hospital treated three emergency patients who complained of acute or chronic abdominal pain. CT showed “cauliflower sign” in two cases. The three patients were diagnosed with SEP intraoperatively. In a female patient with ascites, the situation was extremely serious, and this condition had not been reported in detail previously. Fortunately, all patients were discharged without complications. We should pay special attention to patients with SEP who have ascites, which indicates a serious situation.

Background: Posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) resection in combination with proximal row carpectomy (PRC), is a preferred method in order to obtain rapid recovery. However, the contribution of such combination to results isn’t known well. Objectives: We performed a comparative study to evaluate the effects of PIN neurectomy for PRC and a systematic review of the literature was performed to identify whether such combination has an advantage. Methods: Patients with wrist diseases who underwent PRC were evaluated retrospectively. Patients without PIN neurectomy (group 1, n = 7) and with PIN neurectomy (group 2, n = 8) were compared in respect of mean age, follow-up, gender, Q-DASH, VAS, MAYO wrist scores, flexion–extension/radial–ulnar deviation range of motion at final follow-up. The MEDLINE database was searched for studies published between 2005 and 2015, as the second part of the study. The following keywords were used: “proximal,” “row,” “carpectomy.” Studies, which met the inclusion criteria, were evaluated in terms of such combination. Results: There were no significant difference between the groups in regard with age ( P = .463), follow-up period ( P = .728), the ranges of flexion–extension ( P = .431) and radio–ulnar deviation ( P = .689), Q-DASH ( P = .452), and MAYO scores ( P = .728). In the second part of the study, 12 studies met the inclusion criteria and none of them was specifically evaluating such combination. Only one study had specific comments on PRC with PIN neurectomy. Conclusion: According to our study (which, to our knowledge, was the first comparative study in the literature), we advocate not to combine PRC with PIN neurectomy for such an approach has no advantage.

Review Of The Literature

Mirizzi syndrome (MS) is a rare condition whose clinical presentation is unspecific, with obstructive jaundice being the most common form. MS is often not recognized at initial presentation, which can result in morbidity and biliary injury. Preoperative diagnosis is uncommon and over 50% of patients with MS are diagnosed during surgery. There are no clinical features to distinguish MS from cholangiocarcinoma, except that patients with cholangiocarcinoma are on average ten years older than patients with MS. We report the case of a 51-year-old female patient who presented with jaundice and weight loss. Following investigation with laboratory and imaging exams, the initial diagnosis was Bismuth II cholangiocarcinoma. The patient underwent surgical intervention, and anatomopathological examination of the specimen showed the correct diagnosis to be MS. Despite the rarity of its incidence, physicians must keep MS in mind as a possible differential diagnosis for cholangiocarcinoma and vice-versa. We discuss this case in the context of a brief review of the literature on Mirizzi syndrome mimicking cholangiocarcinoma.

AbstractIntraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) is a rare variant of bile duct tumors, which is a counterpart of pancreatic intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN). These tumors need to be differentiated from other common bile duct tumors such as cholangiocarcinoma, as IPNB carries a better prognosis. A combination of enhancing intraluminal papillary filling defect, demonstrating washout and associated upstream and downstream biliary dilation, should raise the suspicion of IPNB.

Objectives. Denture stomatitis is a mucosal condition associated with complete and partial removable dentures. This paper presents a short review of the literature on this topic with more emphasis on the treatment protocols of denture stomatitis as studied in recent systematic reviews. Methods. A general review of the literature was carried out in the first part of this paper, and then the most recent systematic reviews on the treatment protocols of denture stomatitis were summarized. Results. Fifteen systematic reviews were collected and classified into six main treatment protocols. Conclusions. Dentist knowledge of up-to-date treatment options of denture stomatitis will assist comprehensive treatment planning. However, the newer methods of denture disinfection need further studies before recommendation.
