- ItemCongenital choledochal cyst : a case report(Health and Medical Publishing Group (HMPG), 1986-07) Du Toit, D. F.; Warren, B. L.A congenital choledochal cyst presented as an upper abdominal mass in a non-jaundiced woman; at laparotomy total cystectomy was performed and biliary enteric continuity re-established by a hepaticojejunostomy Roux-en-Y anastomosis.
- ItemElective cholecystectomy via a 5 cm subcostal incision(Health & Medical Publishing Group, 1992) Warren, B. L.; Marais, A. W.This report describes a technique whereby elective cholecystectomy is performed through a 5 cm abdominal incision. Initial results in 18 patients compared with 112 historical control patients undergoing conventional cholecystectomy suggest an encouraging reduction in postoperative hospitalisation time, analgesic requirements and period of recuperation. The procedure takes no longer to perform than conventional cholecystectomy and obesity is not a limiting factor, as originally thought. This technique deserves a place alongside laparoscopic and conventional cholecystectomy in future studies seeking the optimal method of managing symptomatic cholelithiasis.
- ItemPhaeochromocytoma in pregnancy : a report of 3 cases(Health & Medical Publishing Group, 1989) Van Rensburg, L. C. J.; Warren, B. L.The coincidence of phaeochromocytoma and pregnancy is rare and potentially lethal. Three cases are reported; in 2 the fetus had died before the patient presented. With early diagnosis and appropriate treatment there should be no maternal mortality, and the fetal mortality rate should be reduced to less than 20%.
