Abstract Background Less invasive alternatives than early cholecystectomy (EC) for acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC) treatment have been spreading in recent years. We still lack a reliable tool to select high-risk patients who could benefit from these alternatives. Our study aimed prospectively validate the Chole-risk score predicting postoperative complications undergoing EC ACC compared with other preoperative risk prediction models. Method The S.P.Ri.M.A.C.C. is World Society of...
Mild acute biliary pancreatitis (MABP) presents significant clinical and economic challenges due to its potential for relapse. Current guidelines advocate early cholecystectomy (EC) during the same hospital admission prevent recurrent (RAP). Despite these recommendations, implementation in practice varies, highlighting need reliable accessible predictive tools. The MINERVA study aims develop validate a machine learning (ML) model predict risk of RAP (at 30, 60, 90 days, at 1-year) MABP...
Non-operative management (NOM) of uncomplicated acute appendicitis is a well-established alternative to upfront surgery. The administration intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics usually performed in hospital, and only one study described outpatient NOM. aim this multicentre retrospective non-inferiority was evaluate both safety compared inpatient NOM appendicitis.The included 668 consecutive patients with appendicitis. Patients were treated according the surgeon's preference: 364...
Intra-abdominal infections (cIAIs) constitute an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Numerous risk factors may influence prognosis cIAIs. This study aims to evaluate which parameters scores better predict prognostic outcomes in is a single-center prospective observational study. Data from sixty-five patients were collected during four-month period. Univariate multivariate analysis for physiological ROC curves SIRS, qSOFA WISS calculated relation mortality, intensive care unit (ICU)...
Abstract Background Normothermic and hypothermic oxygenated perfusion for donation after circulatory death in kidney transplantation are becoming popular Italy, with the purpose of reducing risk primary non function delayed graft due to prolonged warm ischemia time. Potential complications related these procedures currently under investigation continuously emerging increasing experience. Post-operative infections - particular arteritis a rare complication but determine high mortality loss....
Acute calculus cholecystitis (ACC) is increasing in frequency within an ageing population, which biliary tract infection, including and cholangitis, the second most common cause of sepsis, with higher morbidity mortality rates. Patient’s critical conditions, such as septic shock or anaesthesiology contraindication, may be reasons to avoid laparoscopic cholecystectomy—the first-line treatment ACC—preferring gallbladder drainage. It can aid patient’s stabilization also benefit identifying...

Abstract Kidney biopsy is performed to assess if an extended criteria graft can be used for transplantation. It may before or after cross-clamping during organ procurement. This study aims evaluate whether the timing of modify cold ischemia times (CIT) and/or outcomes. transplants in our centre from January 2007 December 2017 were analysed. Grafts with pre-implantation kidney included. Biopsies surgical back table (ESKB, ex-situ biopsy) until 2012 and since then, aortic (ISKB, situ biopsy)....
Abstract The concept and the role of emergency general surgery (EGS) has progressively evolved over last decades, dedicated pathways are required for EGS, similarly to what already been established trauma. EGS patients, together with trauma represent 20% inpatient population in USA, 25% costs. These patients have a high rate health care utilization, higher mortality rates longer hospital stay. International guidelines current evidences show that organizational models improve outcome setting....
