The rate of conversion to open surgery is high in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) after Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreotocography (ERCP). The present study aimed to evaluate the risk factors associated with the conversion to open cholecystectomy and minimize the rate of conversion to open surgery. ⋯ Choledocholitiasis, Conversion, Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, Laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Hypoparathyroidism and the resulting hypocalcemia is a common iatrogenic complication following surgical procedures to the neck, and commonly, to the thyroid gland. The aim of this study was to review the available literature to summarize current data related to the development of hypoparathyroidism after thyroid surgery. ⋯ Hypoparathyroidism, Thyroid surgery.

Diseases and tumors of the appendix vermiformis are very rare, except for acute appendicitis. This study aimed to examine rare findings in the histopathologic examinations of specimens of patients undergoing appendectomy due to the diagnosis of acute appendicitis. ⋯ Appendicitis, Appendectomy, Carcinoid, Mucocele, Endometriosis.

Obtaining negative microscopic resection margins (R0) in cephalic duodenopancreatectomy (CDP) is the gold standard. Resection line involvement at microscopic histopathological examination (R1) could change prognostic unfavorable. Regarding R1 resections in CDP (data from the literature show rates between 20-80%), we considered it necessary to perform a study in Regional Institute of Gastroenterology and Hepatology "Prof. Dr. O. Fodor'' Cluj-Napoca. ⋯ Circumferential margins, Nonstandardized pathologic protocol, Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, Positive margins R1 Survival.
