Vegas Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetic Dermatology
– A Multi-Specialty Symposium
This Symposium is now celebrating its 12th anniversary in Las Vegas under the leadership and coordination of its founder, S. Randolph Waldman, MD. Vegas Cosmetic Surgery was initiated to foster a spirit of cooperation and understanding between the four "core" specialties that are primarily involved in the science, practice, and teaching of aesthetic surgery and medicine. This Symposium is proud to host the leading educators and teachers in the fields of
facial plastic surgery, plastic surgery, dermatology and oculoplastic surgery.
We are extremely proud that Vegas Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetic Dermatology was not only the first truly multi-specialty forum in the aesthetic field, but
by listening to our faculty and attendees, VCS is now the largest event of its kind in North America.

In Zliten hospital, we operated 400 patients with hepatic hydatidcysts over period of 20 years. All patients were symptomatic. Their ages varied from 3 to 85 years including 215female and 185 male patients. Their symptoms varied from abdominal pain to abdominal mass 67 patients wereadmitted through Accident and Emergency Department with acute presentations including fever, skin rash,jaundice and shock with acute abdominal pain. Those 67 patients had necessary investigations, resuscitation andunderwent emergency surgery. The hepatic cysts in all patients were excised, and the obstructive jaundice wascleared in those patients with obstructive jaundice. Unfortunately, one of the patients died two days after thesurgery because of multiple organ failure (MOF) Morbidity was wound Infection, bile leak and recurrence rate wereall reported in our series.
