Background: Whether to routinely or selectively use intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has been a controversial issue for many years. Many authors maintain that IOC decreases the rate of biliary complications such as bile duct injuries, leak, and missed common (CBD) stones. However, in contrast these claims, centers have opted perform LC without IOC. In this retrospective study, results series 1,100 LCs, all which involved major were performed IOC,...
Concanavalin A (ConA)‐induced hepatitis is an experimental model of human autoimmune induced in rodents by i.v. injection Con A. The disease characterized increase serum levels transaminases and massive immune infiltration the livers. Type 1, type 2, 17 cytokines play a pathogenic role development ConA‐induced hepatitis. To understand further immunoregulatory mechanisms operating regulation hepatitis, we have evaluated anti‐inflammatory pathway Nrf2/HO‐1/CO (Nuclear Factor E2‐related 2/Heme...
Acute mesenteric ischaemia (AMI) is a condition with high mortality. This survey assesses current attitudes and practices to manage AMI worldwide.A questionnaire about the of diagnosing managing AMI, endorsed by several specialist societies, was sent different medical specialists hospitals worldwide. Data from individual health care professionals teams were collected.We collected 493 forms 71 countries 94 team 34 countries. Almost half respondents surgeons, most responding (70%) led...
Abstract Purpose There is no consensus on the standard approach for trans-sphincteric perianal fistulas (TPAF) in elderly population. The most commonly used sphincter-saving procedures are ligation of inter-sphincteric fistula tract (LIFT) and mucosal advancement flap (MAF). We aimed to evaluate incidence risk factors recurrence incontinence patients with TPAF using both approaches. Methods This retrospective study included 257 who underwent LIFT (136 patients) or MAF (121 de novo...
Background: The management of high-surgical risk patients with moderate to severe acute cholecystitis is challenging in clinical practice. Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy considered the gold standard for who do not respond conservative treatment. However, those unfit surgery due risk, alternative treatment options such as percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) are available. There no clear guidelines regarding following PC. primary aim this study was propose indications PC and establish...
Background/Objectives: Gastric cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and surgical resection represents the mainstay treatment procedures. However, despite advancements noted in field oncology, perioperative complications variability care provided persist. To address challenges caused by non-standardized for gastric surgery across European healthcare systems, EUropean PErioperative MEdical Networking (EUPEMEN) protocol has been developed. The present study...
Liver fibrosis is characterized by the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) in hepatic parenchyma and represents an intrinsic response to chronic injury, maintaining organ integrity when extensive necrosis or apoptosis occurs. Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are major cell type responsible for liver fibrosis. Following HSCs become activated transdifferentiate into myofibroblasts (MFBs) that lead intrahepatic ECM accumulation. In present study, we performed a meta‑analysis...
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is one of the most frequently performed gastrointestinal surgeries worldwide.Bile duct injury (BDI) represents serious complication LC, with an incidence 0.3%-0.7%,resulting in significant perioperative morbidity and mortality, impaired quality life, high rates subsequent medico-legal litigation.In cases, primary cause BDI misinterpretation biliary anatomy, leading to unexpected lesions.Near-infrared fluorescent cholangiography widely spreading clinical...
Purpose/aim: The appropriate staging of colorectal cancer requires at least 12 lymph nodes to be sampled. We evaluated whether node sampling (LNS) and ratio (LNR) can predict the prognosis stage II-III patients. Materials methods: This is a retrospective study on 432 patients classified in LNS ≥12 <12. Disease-free survival (DFS) was computed using Kaplan–Meier method. stratified III into 4 quartiles base LNR values. To determine optimal cut-off, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve...
KCNMA1 is a gene located at 10q22 that encodes the pore-forming α-subunit of large-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel. down-regulated in gastric carcinoma tumors, through hypermethylation its promoter. In present study, we have evaluated expression levels both mouse model Colorectal Cancer (CRC) and human CRC samples. Additionally, epigenetic mechanisms regulation were investigated. We observed significant down-regulation CRC. No differences were, however, different TNM stages. also...
