Incisional hernia is a frequent postoperative complication after midline laparotomy. Prophylactic mesh augmentation in abdominal wall closure elective surgery recommended, but its role emergency less well defined.This prospective randomized trial evaluated the incidence of incisional patients undergoing urgent laparotomy for clean-contaminated surgery. Closure using slowly absorbable running suture was compared with an additional sublay (Parietex ProGrip™). Patients were just before...
Indeterminate follicular thyroid lesions (Thyr 3A and 3B) account for 10% to 30% of all cytopathologic diagnoses, their unpredictable behavior represents a hard clinical challenge. The possibility preoperatively predict malignancy is largely advocated establish tailored surgery, preventing diagnostic thyroidectomy. We analyzed the role neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR) lymphocyte-to-monocyte (LMR) as prognostic factors indeterminate nodules. In patients...
Background and Objectives: Although breast surgery has undergone a drastic de-escalation in recent decades, axillary dissection is still indicated some selected cases. Unfortunately, 3-85% of cases, complications such as seroma formation occur, highlighting the need for more accurate hemostasis systems. The aim this study to evaluate effectiveness absorbable polysaccharide hemostatic HaemocerTM preventing postoperative seroma. Materials Methods: Patients referred two centers diagnosed cancer...
Background and Objectives: With the increasing life expectancy, frequency of total thyroidectomies in elderly patients has risen, raising concerns regarding hemorrhage recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy compared to general population. Therefore, considering frequent alteration coagulation status such patients, innovative methods able reach an accurate hemostasis appear highly desirable. This retrospective multicentric study aimed compare postoperative outcomes treated with conventional Harmonic...
Abstract Obesity is linked to increased risk of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and esophageal motility disorders, both which may impact outcomes in metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS). GERD pathophysiology obesity includes elevated intraabdominal pressure altered esophagogastric junction (EGJ) function. High resolution manometry (HRM) 24-h pH-impedance (MII-pH) monitoring are vital evaluating GERD, yet normative values specific populations with limited, risking misdiagnosis if lean...
Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a predictive biomarker for immune checkpoint inhibitors. The main goal was to investigate the discordance between IHC and PCR/NGS MSI testing in gastrointestinal cancers.Two series were analyzed through mismatch-repair-system proteins (MMRP) PCR, with one of 444 colorectal cancers (CRC) other 176 gastric (GC). All cases discordant results PCR by NGS. staining evaluated as follows: proficient MMR (pMMR), all positive; deficient (dMMR), loss heterodimer;...
Hemorrhoidal disease (HD) is a common condition, and several surgical techniques have been proposed to date without being able achieve definitive consensus on their use indications. Laser hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) minimally invasive procedure for HD treatment determining the shrinkage of hemorrhoidal piles by diode laser limiting postoperative discomfort pain. The aim current study was evaluate outcomes patients undergoing LHP vs conventional Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy (MM).
Sacral nerve modulation has become an established treatment for fecal and urinary incontinence, sexual disorders. The objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome sacral neuromodulation in patients with or combined incontinence (double incontinence), assessing its safety, efficacy, impact on quality life function. This a multicentric, retrospective, cohort including double who received at seven European centers between 2007 2017 completed 5-year follow-up. main measures...
Breast conservative surgery is the primary therapeutic choice for non-aggressive early breast cancers, and a minimally-invasive approach strongly recommended. The localization represents modern challenge surgery. Wire-guided still gold standard technique, but new wireless systems have been proposed, such as radiofrequency identification with LOCalizerTM (Hologic, Santa Carla, CA, USA), which reports encouraging results. current study aimed to evaluate accuracy efficacy of combined use...
Background: Breast localization plays a key role in early breast cancer (BC) surgery. The current gold standard is wire-guided (WGL), despite the known disadvantages. patients often experience anxiety and discomfort due metallic wire placed breast, surgeons are compelled to perform surgery on same day as radiological release of prevent migrations or breakages. Various wireless systems have been proposed alternative WGL. LOCalizerTM offers advantage providing exact distance from marker called...
