To identify the prognostic variables that predict disease-specific survival and second local recurrence-free in patients with recurrent retroperitoneal liposarcoma so as to guide clinical management.Local recurrence after complete resection of primary is a common problem frequently leads morbidity mortality. Factors determine rerecurrence first have not been clearly defined.From prospective sarcoma database we selected 105 who had at least one following between July 1982 December 2005. Of...
Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare neoplasm that may present sporadically or in the context of genetic syndrome. Diagnosis and management are challenging due to lack clinical pathological features reliably distinguish malignant from benign disease.From January 2013 December 2017, 358 consecutive patients affected by parathyroid diseases, 3 with were treated at our academic Department General Surgery. We experience as illustrative different presentation review its considering recent relevant...
Abstract Background Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered the gold standard for treatment of gallbladder lithiasis; nevertheless, incidence bile duct injuries (BDI) still high (0.3–0.8%) compared to open (0.2%). In 1995, Strasberg introduced "Critical View Safety" (CVS) reduce risk BDI. Despite its widespread use, scientific evidence supporting this technique prevent BDI controversial. Methods Between March 2017 and 2019, data patients submitted laparoscopic in 30 Italian surgical...
In patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) syndrome, genetic testing offers early diagnosis, stratifies the risk of developing medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) and informs timing thyroidectomy. The efficacy treatment, which depends on timely safe surgery, is not well established.This was a retrospective review diagnostic clinicopathological outcomes prophylactic thyroidectomy in children MEN2 between 1995 2013 UK. American Thyroid Association (ATA) 2009 guidelines were used as...
Background: Surgical intervention in asymptomatic retrosternal goiter (RSG) is debated the absence of suspicious cytology, while performing fine-needle aspiration (FNA) challenging thyroids with mediastinal extension. The rate unexpected thyroid cancers found at time thyroidectomy varies widely, notion increased cancer incidence RSG respect to cervical goiters still controversial. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 411 patients a preoperative diagnosis multinodular (MNG) (114 retrosternal,...
Abstract Background Intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) are common and severe surgical emergencies associated with high morbidity mortality. In recent years, there has been a worldwide increase in antimicrobial resistance intra-abdominal infections, responsible for significant mortality rates. To improve the quality of treatment, it is crucial to understand underlying local epidemiology, clinical implications, proper management resistance, both community- hospital-acquired infections. The IRIS...
Parathyroid cancer (PC) is a rare sporadic or hereditary malignancy whose histologic features were redefined with the 2022 WHO classification. A total of 24 Italian institutions designed this multicenter study to specify PC incidence, describe its clinical, functional, and imaging characteristics improve differentiation from atypical parathyroid tumour (APT).All relevant information was collected about APT patients treated between 2009 2021.Among 8361 parathyroidectomies, 351 (mean age 59.0...
Robotic thyroidectomy by transaxillary approach (RATS) is regarded as a feasible and safe alternative procedure in selected patients with benign disease or thyroid cancer of low risk, facilitating respect to conventional endoscopic offering improved cosmetic results. The Da Vinci Xi surgical system (Intuitive Surgical, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) presents technical advantages over its previous generations, including overhead docking, more compact robotic arms, extended range motion, ability for...
Background Phaeochromocytomas and paragangliomas arise from the same chromaffin cell, but evidence suggests they do not represent a single clinical entity. The aim of this study was to compare presentations, outcomes surgical oncological treatments survival in patients with phaeochromocytomas paragangliomas. Methods A retrospective review undertaken all treated for these conditions at our centre between 1983 2012. Results One hundred six (88 adults, 18 children) phaeochromocytoma (n = 83) or...
