1. Endosonography and pretreatment tumor profiling - from sampling, staining, to sequencing
Sammanfattning : Background and aims: Endosonography-guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) is imperfect in diagnosing solid pancreatic lesions (SPL) and subepithelial lesions (SEL) including gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). In GISTs, imatinib therapy is effective only in variants of oncogenes KIT and PDGFRA. LÄS MER
2. To tear and to heal : pelvic floor dysfunction and childbirth
Sammanfattning : Background: Up to 80% of women are affected by a perineal laceration after their first vaginal birth. An estimated 40–50% of lacerations involve the perineal muscles, and up to 7% are obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASI). LÄS MER
3. Aspects on Minimally Invasive Surgery for Rectal Tumours
Sammanfattning : Background: Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) and laparoscopic rectal resection are minimally invasive methods of surgery for rectal tumours. One aim of this thesis was to analyse the inflammatory response after minimally invasive surgery compared with open resection. LÄS MER
4. Endosonography of the anal spincter in women with particular reference to obstetric sphincter tears
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to study the endosonographic morphology of the anal sphincter in women, to establish an endosonographic sphincter defect score and to relate it to anal incontinence and anal sphincter pressure. A further aim was to determine intra-observer and inter-observer agreement in detection of endosonographic anal sphincter defects. LÄS MER
