Abstract Background Textbook outcomes are composite outcome measures that reflect the ideal overall experience for patients. There many of these in elective surgery literature but no textbook have been proposed patients following emergency laparotomy. The aim was to achieve international consensus amongst experts and best Outcomes non-trauma trauma Methods A modified Delphi exercise undertaken with three planned rounds regarding based on category, number importance (Likert scale 1–5)...
Abstract Background Near‐infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) allows intraoperative visualisation of the lymph nodes (LNs) draining tumour. Methods We included in our study 20 patients who underwent robotic subtotal gastrectomy + D2 lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer. In 10 cases, ICG‐guided lymphography has been used (Group A). compared number LNs retrieved use NIR and without this technique B, historical group). Results No complications related to ICG injection...
Background. During the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), allocating intensive care beds to patients needing acute surgery became a very difficult task. Moreover, since general anesthesia is an aerosol-generating procedure, its use controversial. This strongly restricted therapeutic strategies. Here, we report series undeferrable surgical cases treated with awake under neuraxial anesthesia. Contextual benefits this approach are deepened. Methods. first pandemic surge, thirteen...
Anatomical sectionectomy or larger resection is known to be effective in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) microvascular invasion. A non-smooth tumor margin on hepatobiliary-phase gadoxetic acid disodium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (EOB-MRI) can predict invasion of HCC. We evaluated the usefulness EOB-MRI for operative planning.We 224 single HCC who underwent hepatectomy between 2010 and 2013. The was determined preoperatively. hepatic based location, liver function, 3D CT...
BACKGROUND: During Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic entire countries rapidly ran out of intensive care beds, occupied by critically ill infected patients. Elective surgery was initially halted and acute non-deferrable surgical drastically limited. The presence COVID-19 patients into units (ICU) is currently decreasing but their congestion have restricted our therapeutic strategies during the last months.METHODS: In era eighteen (8 men, 10 women) with a mean age 80 years, needing...
The robotic Heller-Dor (RHD) procedure for oesophageal achalasia (EA) is safe and effective. We aim to evaluate the intraoperative use of fluorescence imaging, as an alternative means endoscopy, assess myotomy at end procedure.Thirty-four patients affected with EA underwent RHD. was assessed intraoperatively by endoscopy in group A (17 patients), imaging B patients). Perioperative long-term results were compared.In A, one mucosal tear identified during endoscopy. In B, indocyanine green...

Colorectal medullary carcinoma (CMC) is a rare subset of minimally differentiated carcinomas. CMC tend to be right-sided and present at an advanced stage. Despite this, distant metastases are presentation. The liver the regional lymph nodes represent most common sites metastases. Most time, CMCs exhibit mismatch repair deficiency strong association with high-level microsatellite instability. There no conspicuous data regarding treatment strategies short-term outcomes. supposed related better...
Since minimally invasive surgery and general anesthesia are both aerosol-generating procedures, their use became controversial during the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Moreover, social distancing resulted in serious psychological consequences for inpatients. This case report investigates pain distraction awake laparotomy, as well new possibilities emotional postoperative support to inpatients.A 72-year-old man affected by middle rectal adenocarcinoma underwent lower...
