The COVID-19 pandemic is highly challenging for the operating room staff and healthcare workers in emergency departments. SARS-CoV-2 a positive-sense single-stranded RNA beta-coronavirus that primarily targets human respiratory system, with fever, cough, myalgia, pneumonia as most common manifestations. However, since was detected stool specimens much more attention has been paid to gastrointestinal symptoms such loss of appetite, nausea, diarrhea. Furthermore, expression ACE-2 receptors...
The COVID-19 pandemic is having a deep impact on emergency surgical services, with significant reduction of patients admitted into units world widely. Reliable figures this have not been produced yet. Our international audit aimed at giving precise snapshot the absolute and relative changes admissions outbreak pandemic.Datasets as general emergencies 45 internationally distributed during months March April 2020 (Covid-19 outbreak) were collected compared those same 2019 (pre-Covid-19)....
Despite advances in coloanal anastomosis techniques, satisfactory procedures completed without complications remain lacking. We investigated the effectiveness of our recently developed 'Short stump and High Pull-through' (SHiP) procedure for delayed a stoma. In this retrospective study, we analysed functional outcomes, morbidity, mortality rates local recurrence 37 patients treated using SHiP procedure, out 282 affected by rectal cancer institution between 2012 2020. The inclusion criterion...
Abstract Introduction The concept of “weekend effect”, that is, substandard healthcare during weekends, has never been fully demonstrated, and the different outcomes emergency surgical patients admitted weekends may be due to conditions at admission and/or therapeutic approaches. Aim this international audit was identify any change pattern admissions treatments weekends. Furthermore, we aimed investigating impact COVID-19 pandemic on alleged effect”.

Kidney transplantation (KT) is the gold standard for treatment of patients with end-stage-renal disease. To expand donor reserve, it necessary to use marginal/suboptimal kidneys.We retrospectively evaluated short/long-term outcome 34 KT elderly who received allografts vascular abnormalities (MRA group), in comparison a kidney single renal artery (SRA group) pair-matched by age, length time on dialysis, comorbidity and age.All participants completed International Physical Activity...
Surgical treatment of low rectal cancer through total mesorectal excision (TME) and colo-anal anastomoses (CAA) still represents a challenge for surgeons and, on patients' side, it might result into reduction their self-perception quality life. Standard one stage CAA (both mechanical manual) with concomitant prophylactic ileostomy is currently considered the standard care reconstruction after anterior resection TME ultra-low cancer.

Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end-stage disease. To expand donor reserve, it necessary to use marginal/sub optimal donors that provide marginal organs. We retrospectively evaluated short and long-term outcome elderly kidney using allografts vascular abnormalities. Between January 1999 December 2018, 740 transplants from cadaveric were performed. Thirty-four received a anatomical variants (Group 1) compared 34 who single renal artery (SRA) (Grroup2)...
Summary Background We evaluated the frequency of incidental papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (mPTC) in thyroidectomies performed for benign diseases, to better characterize this nosologic entity and assess best treatment. Methods Between 2009 2017, a total 1777 patients underwent surgery disease. Patients with preoperative undetermined or positive malignancy cytology were excluded, as well cancer larger than 1 cm. Results Total thyroidectomy was 1649 (92.7%) hemithyroidectomy 128 (7.2%)....
