Abstract Background Literature suggests colonic resection and primary anastomosis (RPA) instead of Hartmann’s procedure (HP) for the treatment left-sided emergencies. We aim to evaluate surgical options globally used treat patients with acute emergencies factors that leading choice treatment, comparing HP RPA. Methods This is a prospective, international, multicenter, observational study registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. A total 1215 who required surgery were included from 204 centers during...
The COVID-19 pandemic is having a deep impact on emergency surgical services, with significant reduction of patients admitted into units world widely. Reliable figures this have not been produced yet. Our international audit aimed at giving precise snapshot the absolute and relative changes admissions outbreak pandemic.Datasets as general emergencies 45 internationally distributed during months March April 2020 (Covid-19 outbreak) were collected compared those same 2019 (pre-Covid-19)....
Abstract Introduction The concept of “weekend effect”, that is, substandard healthcare during weekends, has never been fully demonstrated, and the different outcomes emergency surgical patients admitted weekends may be due to conditions at admission and/or therapeutic approaches. Aim this international audit was identify any change pattern admissions treatments weekends. Furthermore, we aimed investigating impact COVID-19 pandemic on alleged effect”.

Purpose: Pneumatosis intestinalis is a radiological finding with incompletely understood pathogenesis. To date, there are no protocols to guide surgical intervention. Methods: A systematic review of literature, according PRISMA criteria, was performed. Medline and PubMed were consulted identify articles reporting on the items “emergency surgery, pneumatosis coli, intestinalis” from January 2010 up March 2022. This study has not been registered in relevant databases. Results: total 1673...
Abstract The aim of this prospective multicentric study was to compare the accurate colonic lesion localization ratio between CT and colonoscopy in comparison with surgery. All consecutive patients from 1st January 31st December 2019 a histologically confirmed diagnosis dysplastic adenoma or adenocarcinoma planned elective, curative resection who underwent both scans were included. Each patient conventional stage tumour, results each procedure registered. colonoscopic compared surgical...
Bariatric surgery (BS) has gained popularity in order to treat morbid obesity. However, post-operative (PO) neurologic complications have become increasingly recognized. Our aim was examine incidence, clinical presentation, and outcomes of disorders secondary BS.
Introduction Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP) is a rare neoplastic syndrome characterized by disseminated cancerous mucinous lesions and/or ascites in the intraperitoneal area, peritoneal surface and omentum, principally related to appendiceal neoplasm. Patients are usually asymptomatic or paucisymptomatic, complaining nonspecific symptoms, including abdominal pain distension, anorexia nausea. PMP slow uninterrupted growth leads significant distension complications such as intestinal obstruction...
The endoscopic inaccessibility of the gastric remnant after Roux-en-Y bypass (RYGBP) for morbid obesity represents an important issue patients with familiar history cancer (GC) or affected by premalignant lesions, such as intestinal metaplasia. If a different bariatric procedure is contraindicated, RYGBP gastrectomy reasonable alternative, significantly reducing risk GC but potentially increasing postoperative morbidity. For this reason, only few cases have been reported in recent Literature...
Background and Objectives: The management of complicated diverticulitis in the elderly can be a challenge initial non-operative treatment remains controversial. In this study, we investigate effectiveness conservative people after first episode diverticulitis. Materials Methods: This retrospective single-centre study describes 71 cases patients with acute colonic treated at Parma University Hospital from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2019. Diverticulitis severity was staged according WSES CT...
Abstract Background Patients undergoing emergency surgery for peritonitis are at increased risk of abdominal wall-related complications. In patients with peritonitis, the incisional hernia (IH) is extremely elevated. The evaluation quality life showed lower mean scores on physical components health-related and body image. Furthermore, arise a post-operative wall complication (i.e., wound dehiscence, evisceration IH) greatly increases morbidity mortality rates prolongs hospitalization....
