    Abstract : Acute pancreatitis, with an annual incidence of approximately 35 per 100 000 inhabitants in Sweden, is in most cases mild and self-limiting. Severe acute pancreatitis, affecting 10-15% of the cases is, however, associated with severe complications and even death. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cerebral Venous Thrombosis - Complications and Outcomes

    Author : Erik Lindgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cerebral venous thrombosis; complications; outcome; seizures; return to work; dural arteriovenous fistula; follow-up;

    Abstract : Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a relatively rare cause of stroke, which predominantly affects working-aged adults and particularly women. The clinical course is highly miscellaneous. Data from large cohorts are scarce and knowledge on CVT complications and outcomes are limited. READ MORE

  5. 3. Robot-assisted laparoscopy for benign uterine disease. Feasibility, outcome and hospital cost

    Abstract : Percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) is a well-established intervention performed to divert urine from the collecting system in ureteric obstruction or as a prelude to interventional procedures such as stent placement or percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL). The aim of this thesis is to enhance planning for an optimal insertion of PCN, investigate complications, long-term management, follow-up and outcome in patients with PCN treatment and to increase accuracy in CT-guided punctures.
