Current evaluation of positive lymph nodes may not accurately stage Dukes C colorectal cancer. The assessment of the LNR is a useful prognostic method in this heterogenous group of patients.
Conclusion In this study the likelihood of a post cholecystectomy bile leak arising from an aberrant duct of Luschka was 13%, in keeping with previous smaller series where the rate ranged from 0% to 21%. The standard managment with stent insertion +/À sphincterotomy appears to be effective even though the leak is not covered by the stent, presumably by providing preferential drainage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
