Abstract Background Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered the gold standard for treatment of gallbladder lithiasis; nevertheless, incidence bile duct injuries (BDI) still high (0.3–0.8%) compared to open (0.2%). In 1995, Strasberg introduced "Critical View Safety" (CVS) reduce risk BDI. Despite its widespread use, scientific evidence supporting this technique prevent BDI controversial. Methods Between March 2017 and 2019, data patients submitted laparoscopic in 30 Italian surgical...

In our experience, we document 2 cases of a rare and non-tumoral lesion the liver misinterpreted as necrotic tumor: solitary nodule. first clinical case, ultrasound (US) showed polylobated (35 x 35 38 mm) at segment 8. Color-doppler identified compression celiac axis (Dunbar syndrome). Arteriography revealed subtotal stenosis tripod soon after emergence left gastric artery. FNAB-CT highly cellulated tissue with core surrounded by fibersclerotic tissue. The patient underwent surgery:...

Background Case control studies that randomly assign patients with diagnosis of acute appendicitis to either surgical or non-surgical treatment yield a relapse rate approximately 14% at one year. It would be useful know the who have, instead, been selected for given based on thorough clinical evaluation, including physical examination and laboratory results (Alvarado Score) as well radiological exams if needed deemed helpful. If this evaluation is useful, investigators expect patient...

Background: Tailgut cysts are rare congenital lesions that develop in the presacral space. As they can potentially conceal primary neuroendocrine tumors, surgical excision is suggested as treatment of choice. However, specific management guidelines have yet to be developed. A posterior approach usually preferred for extending third sacral vertebral body. Conversely, a transabdominal upward achieve an optimal view field and avoid injuries. Case report: Here, we report case 48-year-old man...

Anastomotic leakage is the most-feared complication of rectal surgery. Transanal devices have been suggested for anastomotic protection as an alternative to defunctioning stoma, although evidence conflicting, and no single device widely used in clinical practice. The aim this paper investigate safety efficacy a transanal tube prevention following laparoscopic cancer resection. A was cases total mesorectal excision with low colorectal or coloanal anastomosis, undamaged doughnuts, negative...
