Between the esophagus and stomach is a critical valve, the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Over time, the LES can become inefficient, leading to acid and chemical damage to the esophagus, a condition

Bile duct and gallbladder tumors, both noncancerous and cancerous, are rare. Bile is a fluid produced by the liver that helps with digestion. It is carried through small tubes (bile ducts) that carry bile through the liver and then from the liver to the gallbladder and small intestine. The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped sac located under the liver that stores bile and releases it when needed. Bile duct cancer (cholangiocarcinoma) is

Liposarcoma is a rare type of cancer that starts in fat cells. It most often starts as a growth of cells in the abdomen or the muscles of the arms and legs.

When the bulge is large, it enters the scrotum, called a scrotal hernia or

  Applications of Surgical lasers have been particularly useful in surgery over the last fifteen years. The term LASER stands for “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation” and translates as light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. A laser is a special beam of light radiation, which does not exist in natural conditions, but is produced with special technological equipment. This radiation requires an energy source (e.g. electric current) and
