Journal ArticleDOI
Open tension free repair of inguinal hernias; the Lichtenstein technique.
George H. Sakorafas,Ioannis Halikias,Christos Nissotakis,Nikolaos Kotsifopoulos,Alexios Stavrou,Constantinos Antonopoulos,George A. Kassaras +6 more
TL;DR: Lichtenstein tension-free mesh inguinal hernia Repair is a simple, safe, comfortable, effective method, with extremely low early and late morbidity and remarkably low recurrence rate and therefore it is the preferred method for hernia repair since 1994.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidental parathyroidectomy during thyroid surgery: an underappreciated complication of thyroidectomy.
George H. Sakorafas,Vania Stafyla,Constantinos Bramis,Nikolaos Kotsifopoulos,Theophilos Kolettis,George A. Kassaras +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the incidence, risk factors, and clinical relevance of incidental parathyroidectomy during thyroid surgery and found that it is not associated with post-operative hypocalcemia (biochemical/clinical).
Journal ArticleDOI
Microscopic papillary thyroid cancer as an incidental finding in patients treated surgically for presumably benign thyroid disease.
TL;DR: PTMC is not an uncommon incidental finding after surgery for presumably benign thyroid disease, but the possibility of an underlying PTMC should be taken into account in the management of patients with nodular thyroid disease; total/near total thyroidectomy should be considered, at least in selected patients with presumably benign nodularity thyroid disease.
Journal Article
Elevation of serum liver enzymes after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
George H. Sakorafas,George K Anagnostopoulos,Stafyla,Koletis T,Nikolaos Kotsifopoulos,Stavros Tsiakos,George A. Kassaras +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the results showed that after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the serum level of certain liver enzymes raises markedly in patients who had pre-operatively normal liver enzyme values.
Journal Article

George H. Sakorafas,Athanasios Vlachos,George Tolumis,George A. Kassaras,George K. Anagnostopoulos,Dimitrios Gorgogiannis +5 more
