Obesity is a contributor to the global burden of chronic diseases, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and steatohepatitis (NASH). NASH cirrhosis becoming leading indication for transplant (LT). Obese transplanted patients have higher morbidity mortality rates. One strategy, improve outcomes in these patients, includes bariatric surgery at time LT. Herein we report first European combined LT sleeve gastrectomy (SG).A 53 years old woman with Hepatocellular carcinoma Hepatitis C virus...
Introduction. The placement of ring or band around the gastric tube might prevent dilation after Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG). We describe first randomized study comparing LSG and Banded (LBSG). Material Method. Fifty obese patients were enrolled in between January 2014 2015. analysed differences operative time, complication rate, mortality, BMI two groups over a period 12 months. Results. Twenty-five received (group A) 25 LBSG B). mean preoperative was 47.3 ± 6.58 kg/m(2) 44.95...
Background . Weight regain after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is nowadays a growing concern. Sleeve dilatation and loss of food restriction considered the main mechanism. The placement silicon ring around gastric tube seems to give benefits in short term. We report results randomized study comparing LSG banded (LBSG) over 4-year follow-up. Objectives To evaluate efficacy compared standard midterm. Methods Between 01/2014 01/2015, we randomly assigned 50 patients receive one two...
Mesenteric chylous cysts are rare pathologic entities that often present with unspecific symptoms. The preoperative diagnosis requires all the common abdominal imaging techniques, but usually correct may be made only at operation stage or during histological examination. treatment of choice is complete surgical excision safely performed by laparoscopy. A 58-year-old man underwent laparoscopic a huge mesenteric cyst. technique entails perfect control major vessels running near tumor and...
Hemorrhoidal disease represents one of the most common anorectal disorders in general population. Energy devices, such as LigaSureTM scalpel, have reshaped concept hemorrhoid surgery and turn, improved patient outcomes simplified work surgeon.The study aims to evaluate hemorrhoidectomy (LH) analyzing main post-operative complications rate, length stay, operating time, time return work.In this monocentric descriptive study, from June 2001 February 2019, 1454 consecutive patients, treated with...
Portomesenteric vein thrombosis (PMVT) is a rare post-operative complication of bariatric procedures, occurring in between 0.3% and 1% cases. A structured questionnaire consisting 27 items was available online to members the International Federation for Surgery Obesity Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) investigate occurrence PMVT. total 89 surgeons from 61 countries participated. Twenty-six (29.21%) reported at least one case PMVT (46.15% males; 53.84% females). The surgery most associated with...
Liver resection is a standard treatment for liver tumours. Intra-operative blood loss remains major concern during due to its association with higher postoperative complications and shorter long-term survival. To perform bloodless hepatic we realized an apparatus consisting of incremental, bipolar radiofrequency generator probe six in-line needles (SURTRON SB). Several ex-vivo in-vivo pig experiments first-phase clinical study allowed the realization prototype (RF) that works at 470 kHz, 150...
Malabsorptive bariatric surgery is an effective treatment option for morbid obesity, but may be associated with complications and side effects. We have developed a new experimental approach to creating gastric bypass through intraluminal access. The goal reduce postoperative mid-term side-effects of malabsorptive food passage allow easy reversion the procedure. procedure based on implantable device, installed by combined transoral flexible minimally invasive abdominal newly device were...
Gastric fundus ischemia is a rare event, which does not account for many significant clinical studies. This disorder could have different etiologies, but authors agree that prompt diagnosis and proper treatment avoid dangerous complications ultimately the death of patient. We herein report an interesting idiopathic case acute gastric dilatation 83-year-old Caucasic woman who was admitted to Emergency Department complaining abdominal discomfort, vomiting constipation. In literature, only few...
Background: The literature highlights a decrease in surgical treated appendicitis with an increased severity during the COVID-19 pandemic. aim of this study was to analyze effect COVID lockdown on population comparing clinical-pathologic data and outcome two matching period (prepandemic pandemic era). Methods: A retrospective analysis patients admitted community urban hospital Rome diagnosis acute (AA) before after performed. We compared three groups named (pre-COVID), B (early pandemic), C...
