Local excision of early rectal cancer: A multi-centre experience of transanal endoscopic microsurgery from the United Kingdom.
[BACKGROUND] Total mesorectal excision remains the gold standard for the management of rectal cancer however local excision of early rectal cancer is gaining popularity due to lower morbidity and higher acceptance by the elderly and frail p…

Quality-of-life outcomes in older patients with early-stage rectal cancer receiving organ-preserving treatment with hypofractionated short-course radiotherapy followed by transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TREC): non-randomised registry of patients unsuitable for total mesorectal excision.
[BACKGROUND] Older patients with early-stage rectal cancer are under-represented in clinical trials and, therefore, little high-quality data are available to guide treatment in this patient population. The TREC trial was a randomised, open-…

Oncoplastic surgery for breast carcinoma in South Africa - an audit of outcomes from a single breast unit.
[BACKGROUND] Oncoplastic breast surgery permits tumours traditionally requiring total mastectomy to be excised with acceptable oncological and aesthetic outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes following oncoplastic brea…

Radical surgery versus organ preservation via short-course radiotherapy followed by transanal endoscopic microsurgery for early-stage rectal cancer (TREC): a randomised, open-label feasibility study.
[BACKGROUND] Radical surgery via total mesorectal excision might not be the optimal first-line treatment for early-stage rectal cancer. An organ-preserving strategy with selective total mesorectal excision could reduce the adverse effects o…

Early salvage total mesorectal excision (sTME) after organ preservation failure in rectal cancer does not worsen postoperative outcomes compared to primary TME: systematic review and meta-analysis.
[IMPORTANCE] While oncological outcomes of early salvage total mesorectal excision (sTME) after local excision (LE) have been well studied, the impact of LE before TME on postoperative outcomes remains unclear. We aimed to compare early sTM…

Laser incisional surgery.
Soft tissue surgery is more efficient, and sometimes more effective, using laser incisional surgery as opposed to standard techniques. The modern generation of lasers produces soft tissue incisions with a minimum amount of thermal damage at…

Dermal grafting for a patient with scleroderma. Case report.
Scleroderma is a connective tissue disorder which includes fibrosis of the skin. Facial skin contraction leads to loss of forehead, periorbital, and nasolabial wrinkling and at the same time causes radial furrows around the contracted oral …
