[On ultrasound follow-up of patients after pelvic lymphadenectomy]
Abstract:
Ultrasound examination of the peritoneal cavity, small pelvis, iliac lymph nodes and femoral blood vessels (downstream of the blood flow) was performed in 346 patients who had undergone pelvic lymphadenectomy. Post-operative lymphocele developed in 302 (7.2%). However, treatment was required in 98 (28.3%) only. Our strategy of follow-up after pelvic lymphadenectomy facilitated diagnosis and effective excision of lymphocele without resorting to laparotomy due to an improved procedure of ultrasound monitoring.

Diagnosing Appendicitis
It requires a multifaceted approach, starting with a detailed physical examination to pinpoint the location and nature of the pain and identify any associated symptoms. Laboratory tests play a crucial role. A complete Blood Count (CBC) typically reveals leukocytosis (an increased number of...
01:20Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...
