TL;DR: All patients suffered from incontinence for liquid and solid stool due to a functional deficit of the morphologically intact anal sphincter, and underwent operative implantation of a permanent neurostimulation device.

TL;DR: TLND is worthwhile and offers a potential chance of cure in about one-third of melanoma patients with established regional lymph node metastases, and there are subgroups with a particularly poor prognosis in whom the benefit of radical surgery alone is limited.

TL;DR: The precise vascular anatomy of the right colon according to surgical perspective is described and awareness of these complex variations may improve the quality of surgery and may prevent devastating complications during right-sided colon resections.

TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that the quality of surgical technique has an influence on the incidence of port-site recurrences and it is proposed to use protective measures reoutinely in cancer laparoscopy.

TL;DR: A progression can be excluded with falling levels with high diagnostic accuracy, in which CEA offers a greater degree of certainty than CA 19-9, and a confirmation of these results by multicenter trials can result in a considerable decrease of monitoring costs for palliative treatment.
