Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life of patients with PFH undergoing thoracoscopic sympathectomy using an anonymous postoperative survey. Material and methods: Consecutive patients undergoing thoracoscopic sympathectomy between August 2016 and August 2019 were included. Patients who did not respond the telephone survey about their quality of life or who had been followed up for < 6 months. Clinical, intraoperative and postoperative variables were analyzed. Results: During this period 61 patients were operated on and 12 of them were excluded. Mean age was 28.9 years. All the patients presented moderate or severe primary palmar and/or axillary hyperhidrosis with or without facial fl...

It is composed by fat and hematopoietic tissues. We present the case of a 33-year-old woman with diagnosis of a 14 cm diameter non-functioning right adrenal incidentaloma, with imaging features suggestive of myelolipoma. Based on the benign nature of the tumor, laparoscopic resection was performed. Histopathology showed a myelolipoma, weighting 444 grams. The patient evolved with an uneventful postoperative period. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy for a giant myelolipoma was feasible and successful.

Es poco común pero incapacitante. Si bien el tratamiento es siempre quirúrgico no hay consenso acerca de cuál es la mejor técnica a utilizar. Reporte de caso: se presenta una paciente de 17 años de edad, primípara con incontinencia fecal severa con 19 puntos en el Cleveland Clinic Florida Score y una cloaca traumática. La reparación quirúrgica fue diferida 9 meses. Durante el procedimiento quirúrgico el tabique rectovaginal remanente fue disecado, ambos músculos puborrectales fueron suturados a la línea media para reconstruir el cuerpo perineal. Se utilizó la técnica de overlap para la reparación del esfínter anal, finalmente se cerraron las mucosas anal y vaginal y la piel. No se realizó ostomía desfuncionalizante. La paciente presentó buena evolución postoperatoria, externándose a los 4 días. Actualmente en s...
