Background: Systemic chemotherapy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CC) with peritoneal metastases (PM) is affected by several pharmacological shortcomings low clinical efficacy. Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol (PIPAC) expected to maximize exposure of nodules antiblastic agents. This study aims evaluate safety efficacy PIPAC PM PDAC CC origin. Methods: a retrospective analysis consecutive cases treated at two European referral centers disease. We prospectively...
We report five cases of interstitial pregnancy, treated between 2004 and 2010, to evaluate surgical obstetric outcome laparoscopic cornual resection with a "purse-string" technique. A hemostatic suture was passed at the base mass in purse-string fashion prior resection, minimize intraoperative blood loss. Subsequent pregnancies were analysed, mean follow-up time 48 months. The operating 39 min loss 47 mL. Three four patients who desired children delivered term uneventfully. Laparoscopic...
Background and Objective This study aims to investigate the surgical outcomes observed in robotic transperitoneal aortic lymphadenectomy (AL) gynecological cancer patients. Methods Retrospective data were collected analyzed on 71 patients undergoing procedures for cancers, including AL, between December 2014 February 2018 at Catholic University of Sacred Heart, Rome, Italy. Results Median age sample population was 50 years (range, 26‐76 years). The median operative time 210 minutes 75‐480...
Background: Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) originating from appendiceal mucinous neoplasm is a rare peritoneal malignancy characterized by the progressive intraperitoneal accumulation of mucus leading to death if left untreated. In recent years, cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic chemotherapy (HIPEC) offered increased survival rates. This study aims identify clinical, pathological, and surgical features influencing safety outcomes patients undergoing CRS HIPEC for PMP...
Introduction: Patients with peritoneal metastasis frequently develop malignant bowel obstruction (MBO). Medical palliative management is preferred but often fails. Conversely, the role of surgery remains unclear and debated. This study aims to identify patients who could benefit from invasive surgical interventions factors associated successful palliation. Materials Methods: In this retrospective study, 98 consecutive underwent for MBO over 5 years were reviewed. We evaluate as primary...
Incomplete obliteration of the urachal lumen could cause different types anomalies and cyst is most common among these in adult population. It usually asymptomatic may be an incidental finding during a surgical exploration for other reasons. However, it can subject to complications. A 38-year-old female patient with history worsening lower-quadrants abdominal pain, associated fever chills, presented emergency room; clinical examination revealed painful, tender, fixed lump left inferior...
Introduction Up to one-fifth of patients with colorectal cancer will develop peritoneal metastases, frequently without other districts’ involvement. Despite the recent unsuccesses hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for metastases treatment, rationale in prophylactic setting remains strong. Several clinical and pharmacokinetic data suggest that efficacy is highest when disease microscopic. However, robust evidence demonstrating whether addition HIPEC high-risk cancers offers...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with peritoneal metastases (PM) has a dismal prognosis and palliative systemic chemotherapy, which represents the standard treatment option, significant pharmacokinetics limitations low efficacy. Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is new method of drug delivery that expected to maximize exposure nodules antiblastic agents. A combination PIPAC may be valuable. 55 years old male affected by PDAC synchronous PM underwent multimodal...
Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a novel drug administration method with promising efficacy for the treatment of peritoneal metastases (PM). This study aimed to evaluate prognostic value an immunonutritional assessment on feasibility, safety, and survival in this setting.Data PM patients undergoing PIPAC between September 2018 May 2020 were prospectively recorded. A CT scan-derived body composition was performed each patient.Fifty-one enrolled, which 30 (58%)...
To report a case of uterine preservation in pelvic organ prolapse robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery. The patient is 42-year old Caucasian woman with prolapse. She previously had undergone floor reconstruction vaginal surgical approach, she suffered from anorexia nervosa and two childbirths deliveries. was treated robotic-assisted sacrohysteropexy retropubic colposuspension. Data suggest that abdominal surgery, typically an sacralcolpopexy, provides better objective anatomic outcomes, than...
