Return to play (RTP) decisions in football are currently based on expert opinion. No consensus guideline has been published demonstrate an evidence-based decision-making process (soccer). Our aim was provide a framework for RTP following lower limb muscle injuries sustained football. A 1-day meeting held Milan, 31 August 2018, involving 66 national and international experts from various academic backgrounds. narrative review of the current evidence provided delegates. Assembled came best...
To describe the technique and results of laparoscopic diverticulectomy combined with esophageal myotomy antireflux wrap for epiphrenic diverticula esophagus.The diverticulum esophagus is a rare disease probably caused by longstanding impairment motor activity. Although there almost universal agreement to operate only on symptomatic patients, optimal treatment controversial. The best-accepted guideline treat underlying disorder. This generally done through left thoracotomic approach that...
To study the implementation of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program at a large University Hospital from "pilot study" to "standard care".The was designed as prospective single centre cohort study. A evaluation compliance protocol based on full application all ERAS principles, through progressive steps its implementation, performed. Results achieved in initial pilot conducted by dedicated team (n = 47) were compared those shared phase 143) three years later. Outcomes length...
The nomenclature and the lack of consensus clinical evaluation imaging assessment in groin pain generate significant confusion this field. Groin Pain Syndrome Italian Consensus Conference has been organised order to prepare a document regarding taxonomy, for pain. A 1-day was on 5 February 2016, Milan (Italy). 41 experts with different backgrounds participated discussion. previously drafted discussed, eventually modified, finally approved by all members Conference. Unanimous reached...
The treatment of colon cancer located in splenic flexure is not standardized. Laparoscopic approach still considered a challenging procedure. This study reviews two Institutions experience laparoscopic left colonic cancer. Intraoperative, pathologic and postoperative data from patients undergoing resection were analyzed to assess oncological safety as well early medium-term outcomes. From October 2005 May 2014 was performed 23 patients. Conversion rate nihil. In 7 cases the anastomosis...
The role of laparoscopic resection in the management rectal cancer is still controversial. We prospectively evaluated patient survival and outcomes patients undergoing for at a single institution.From November 1999 to 2005, 107 with were treated by laparoscopy. Exclusion criteria were: metastatic disease, advanced disease invasion adjacent structures, clinical or radiologic involvement external anal sphincter, previous colonic resection, synchronous adenocarcinoma, contraindications All...
The increased use of Ultrasonography (US) has led to detection simple hepatic cysts. For symptomatic cysts treatment is necessary. Until some years ago surgery was the only therapy. We have treated a large number patients with Percutaneous Alcohol Sclerotherapy (PAS) and evaluated retrospectively efficacy this approach. Data on 21 were reviewed retrospectively. Cysts had mean diameter 9 cm (range: 7-15 cm). PAS always performed under local anesthesia US guidance. 25% volume replaced 95%...

Seventy international experts with different medical backgrounds participated consensus conference. They discussed approved a composed four sections which are presented these documents. This paper represents synthesis conference, following discussed: (i) The aetiology MIs. A definition MI was formulated some key...
Between 1991 and 1995, 18 patients affected by a resectable intramural tumor of the esophagus underwent esophagectomy with thoracoscopic dissection esophagus. All had relative contraindication to transthoracic radical lymphadenectomy. esophagectomies were completed thoracoscopically reconstruction digestive tract was performed in 17 cases through cervical gastroplasty, 1 case, coloplasty. One cirrhotic patient died postoperative period due anastomotic leak. Six other experienced complication...
Epiphrenic diverticula are a rare disease probably caused by long-standing impairment of esophageal motor activity. Symptomatic disease, which may worsen clinically during follow-up even to severe symptoms, is usually considered an indication for surgical treatment. Surgery epiphrenic consists diverticulectomy, traditionally performed through left thoracotomy; myotomy and partial fundoplication generally included in order treat the underlying disorder prevent or correct reflux. The same...
Background/Aim: A protective ileostomy performed during anterior resection in rectal surgery is considered a good practice to prevent anastomotic leakage. derivative ostomy seems be able minimize the clinical consequences of an leakage, but not it. The present study examined role ghost leakage following surgery. Patients and Methods: This included 82 patients that had undergone resection. total 32 underwent (GH) 50 (IL). Results: incidence was equal 7.32%, occurring 3 IL group (6%) GH...
Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly being used for oesophagectomy. Diaphragmatic hernia is a rare complication of gastroplasty in open surgery. One the advantages laparoscopic technique, lack peritoneal adhesions, may lead to an increased rate this complication. We report two cases diaphragmatic acute massive herniation after esophagectomy out series 44 gastroplasties performed over 33 months. discuss some technical aspects related its occurrence. Prevention should include limited...
