Acute mediastinitis is a rare condition with a high mortality rate. One of the causes of acute mediastinitis is perforation due to esophageal foreign bodies. Acute mediastinitis can easily develop after the perforation because of vasculare and physiological structure of the mediastinum and it is a very high mortality condition. In case of acute mediastinitis due to esophageal foreign bodies, medical and surgical treatment should be started as soon as possible. In this article, we present a case ...

The complex biomechanics and morphology of the femur proximal epiphysis are presented. This specific region in human femur is characterized by a high flexibility compared to that of other primates, since evolved lighter and longer due to the human verticalposition and more balanced loading. The nature and fine morphology of the femur head and its structural behavior have been investigated. Isotropic and orthotropic trabecular structures, which are not present in other primates, have been associa...

It is an entry technique in use recently, albeit in selected centers and represents a further step in the field of minimally invasive surgery. Basically it has the same indications but, at present, is reserved for selected patients. Compared to traditional video-assisted surgery presents some important differences. The surgeon is physically distant from the operative field and sits at a console, equipped with a monitor, from which, through a complex system, controls the movement of the robotic a...

Spontaneous subcapsular kidney hematoma is a rare clinical condition with diagnosis and therapeutic challenges. The segmental renal artery anevrysmal rupture is a very exceptional aetiology. Renal angiography, performed in haemodynamically stable patients, shows the origin of bleeding and allows embolisation. We report the case of a 54 year’s old patient managed conservatively by selective arterial embolisation.

Background: Intrahepatic stones (IS) are very common in far eastern patients but relatively rare elsewhere in the world. The aim of this study is to report the short-term and mid-term outcomes of liver resection indicated for primary intrahepatic stones in a low incidence country. Results: From January 2010 to December 2014, 5(2,7%) among 182 consecutive liver resections were performed for intrahepatic stones (IS) in the Surgical Department A at IbnSina Hospital (Rabat, Morocco). Three patients ...
