Significance of biologic aggressiveness and proliferating activity in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:The surgical repair of large irreducible scrotal hernias is, in general, technically difficult. Laparoscopic repair for these cases is controversial, although extraperitoneal and transperitoneal approaches have been described. We present a small series of patients with large irreducible groin hernias (omen...
