Objective: The aim of this prospective clinical study is to compare short-term outcome laparoscopic right hemicolectomy using the Complete Mesocolic Excision (CME group) with patients who underwent conventional right-sided colonic resection (NCME group). Summary Background Data: Although CME central vascular ligation in associated a significant decrease local recurrence rates and improvements cancer-related 5-year survival, there may be additional risks technique because increased surgical...
Abstract Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the standard technique for treatment of gallbladder disease. In case acute cholecystitis we can identify preoperative factors associated with an increased risk conversion and intraoperative complications. The aim our study was to detect laboratory radiological findings predictive difficult LC potential advantages both surgeons patients in terms options management. We designed a retrospective case–control compare treated emergency setting between...
Since it's introduction, laparoscopic surgery represented a real revolution in clinical practice. The use of new generation three-dimensional (3D) HD system can be considered favorable "hybrid" made by combining two different elements: feasibility and diffusion laparoscopy improved quality vision. In this study we report our experience with vision for surgery. Between 2013 2017 prospective cohort was conducted at the University Hospital Palermo. We 163 patients underwent to various...

Emergency surgery represents a unique context. Trauma teams are often multidisciplinary and need to operate under extreme stress time constraints, sometimes with no awareness of the trauma's causes or patient's personal clinical information. In this perspective, dynamics how trauma function is fundamental ensuring best performance outcomes.An online survey was conducted among World Society Surgery members in early 2021. 402 fully filled questionnaires on topics knowledge translation tools,...
Cystic renal lesions are a common incidental finding on routinely imaging examinations. Although benign simple cyst is usually easy to recognize, the same not true for complex and multifocal cystic lesions, whose differential diagnosis includes both neoplastic non-neoplastic conditions. In this review, we will show series of cases in order provide tips identify cysts differentiate them from malignant ones.
Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a rare, rapidly progressing soft tissue infection characterized by necrosis and high mortality rate, exceeding 40% in severe cases. Optimal management requires early diagnosis, aggressive surgical debridement, targeted antibiotic therapy, advanced wound care with complex dressings. Negative pressure therapy (VAC Therapy) has emerged as an effective option to enhance healing reduce complications. This article examines the pathogenesis, risk factors, of NF,...
Abstract The laparoscopic approach represents the standard of treatment for renal and adrenal diseases, its use is increasing even outside referral centres. Although most procedures are routinely performed, intraoperative complications do not occur, rate predictive factors these have been established. aim this study was to evaluate incidence type identify in patients undergoing surgery. This a cohort, multicentre, international retrospective study. Patients who underwent surgeries between...
Cavernous hemangioma of the adrenal gland is a rare benign tumor. The diagnosis often postoperative on histological exam with presence blood-filled, dilated vascular spaces. We report clinical case 49 years-old woman who came to our observation aspecific abdominal pain. A computed tomography (CT) scan revealed 11 cm right mass. This lesion was well circumscribed, round, encapsulated. After iodinated-contrast we observed progressive, inhomogeneous enhancement without evidence active bleeding...
