Abstract Background Complete digestive disunion due to anastomotic necrosis is considered a contraindication endoscopic repair. However, recent publications have suggested that treatment by insertion of self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) possible. The report this patient series aims demonstrate the use management in selected cases with complete disunion. Methods Seven consecutive patients and circumferential upper gastrointestinal were treated at two European tertiary care centers between...
Bleeding and staple-line leak, are the most common complications of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. To decrease incidence this complications, a variety intraoperative reinforcement staple line is used.

Due location lesion, ileocecectomy performed. Histopathological...
Background Concomitant venous resection during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for pancreatic adenocarcinoma with mesenterico-portal vein involvement is increasingly performed to achieve oncological resection. This study aims report a single centre experience in peritoneal patch (PP) as autologous graft vascular reconstruction (VR) PD.Methods A retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent PD + VR PP between December 2019 and September 2020 was performed, using prospective collected...
Introduction Rectal prolapse is the complete protrusion of rectum through anal canal, incarceration rarely complicates rectal prolapse. Even more rarely, it becomes strangulated and gangrenous, necessitating emergency surgery. Case presentation We present first reported case acute as manifestation The patient was a 26-year-old man who presented with 20×6 cm semi-spherical mass extra-anally. Rectosigmoidectomy sacral rectopexy performed, resecting 20 incarcerated sigmoid colon. postoperative...
Background Pancreatic tumours are frequently associated with obstructive jaundice requiring preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) before pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), exposing patients to infectious complications. This study aims compare postoperative complications after PD or without PBD and analyse bile bacteriology antibiotic susceptibility.Methods All undergoing between 2014 2019 were retrospectively evaluated, outcomes compared according use. Prophylactic narrow-spectrum therapy was given...

A patient who underwent a Roux-en-Y gastric by-pass after vertical gastroplasty for morbid obesity, presented with sepsis associated to complete oesogastric junction disunion loss of luminal continuity. After surgical concertation, an endoscopic treatment metallic stent was attempted restore two cycles stenting during total 7 months, neo-epithelialized digestive continuity, connecting the oesophagus remnant stomach, observed, no more leakage and excellent clinical evolution. three successful...
