PURPOSE: In the last ten years, several robotic systems have been developed to overcome loss of three-dimensional view and dexterity characteristic laparoscopic surgery. The aim this study was compare traditional approach techniques in treatment colorectal diseases. METHODS: compares a consecutive series patients treated surgically for disease from June 2001 May 2003 with da Vinci™ system (Intuitive Surgical®) matched number who underwent conventional laparoscopy during same time interval....
Introduction: Extracorporeal ileocolic anastomosis in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for cancer has a significant risk of complications. The aim this study is to evaluate the operative and postoperative results hybrid with intracorporeal robotic-assisted adenocarcinoma ascending colon compared standard extracorporeal case control study. Patients Methods: Forty-eight hemicolectomies (2009–2012) medial lateral dissection, vascular ligation, bowel transection, specimen extraction through...
Intracorporeal anastomosis (IA) in right colectomies shows many advantages over extracorporeal (EA). Many difficulties encountered laparoscopic IA can be overcome with hybrid robot-assisted or recently totally robotic procedures. In the literature, few works have been published comparing laparoscopic, hybrid, and colectomies. The aim of this study is to retrospectively analyze improvements brought on by evolution surgery at our specialized center.Two hundred six (hybrid totally) (RRCs) were...
Abstract Background Colonic J pouch reconstruction has been found to be associated with a lower incidence of anastomotic leakage than straight anastomosis. However, studies on this topic are underpowered and retrospective. This randomized trial evaluated whether the was reduced after colonic compared colorectal anastomosis following anterior resection for rectal cancer. Methods multicentre RCT included patients carcinoma who underwent low followed by Patients were assigned randomly receive...
BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcomes associated with different bowel reconstruction techniques following anterior resection for rectal cancer are still a matter of debate. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess quality life and function in patients who underwent colonic J-pouch or straight colorectal anastomosis after low resection. DESIGN: Bowel were assessed within multicenter randomized trial. Questionnaires administered before the surgery (baseline) at 6, 12, 24 months surgery. SETTINGS:...
The aim of this work was to apply the 'win ratio' compare outcomes rectal-sparing approaches [watch and wait (WW) local excision (LE)] in management locally advanced rectal cancer responding neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. Patients enrolled ReSARCh study (NCT02710812) between 2016 2021 were divided into two cohorts (WW vs. LE). win ratio calculated by dividing number successes (or wins) WW group LE on matched pairs. Oncological (overall survival, distant recurrence), presence a stoma rectum...
The da Vinci Robotic System (Intuitive Surgical, Mountain View, CA) became available at the General Surgery Department of Camposampiero Hospital in May 2001. From 2001 to October 2002, 139 robotic operations were performed, one which was a right adrenalectomy for adrenal mass. progressive growth mass indication surgical excision. Surgical successfully completed with using 5 ports (3 system, 2 as service trocars). wrist-like movements instrument's tip easily enabled detachment hepatic lobe...
We studied patients with Crohn's disease affecting the colon to characterize behavior and determine whether such might be candidates for sphincter-sparing surgery.Ninety-two consecutive colitis were prospectively. Mean follow-up after diagnosis was 82 (range, 6-291) months. Parameters that evaluated included previous surgery disease, granulomatous vs. nongranulomatous extent of colonic involvement, presence or absence extracolonic disease. The clinical course postoperative outcome evaluated....
The protective effect of oxygen free radical scavenger superoxide dismutase (SOD) against the warm ischemic damage that occurs in kidneys harvested from non-heart-beating donors is controversial because its short half-life. In this model, we compared SOD and two longer lasting polyethylene glycol (PEG)-linked forms a model renal ischemia induced by 60 min arterial clamping rats. Rats treated with PEG1-SOD PEG2-SOD had better function than controls, significantly lower serum creatinine levels...
Screening significantly reduces mortality from colorectal cancer (CRC). Screen detected (SD) tumors associate with better prognosis, even at later stage, compared to non-screen (NSD) tumors. We aimed evaluate the association between diagnostic modality (SD vs. NSD) and short- long-term outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for CRC.This retrospective cohort study involved aged 50-69 years, residing in Veneto, Italy, who underwent curative-intent CRC 2006 2018. The clinical...
Abstract Background The optimal timing of surgery in relation to chemoradiation is still controversial. Retrospective analysis has demonstrated the recent decades that regression adenocarcinoma can be slow and not complete until after several months. More recently, increasing pathologic Complete Response rates have been correlated with longer time interval. purpose trial demonstrate if delayed neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy actually affects reflects on disease-free survival overall rather...
Abstract Evidence against the use of prophylactic drain after gastrectomy are increasing and ERAS guidelines suggest benefit avoidance. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether this practice still widespread. We conducted a survey among Italian surgeons through Gastric Cancer Research Group Polispecialistic Society Young Surgeons, aiming to understand current drain. A 28-item questionnaire-based was developed analyze individual opinion about gastrectomy. Groups based on age, experience unit...
Rectal-sparing approaches for patients with rectal cancer who achieved a complete or major response following neoadjuvant therapy constitute paradigm of potential shift in the management cancer; however, their role remains controversial. The aim this study was to investigate feasibility rectal-sparing preserve rectum without impairing outcomes.
The aim of this study was to describe the role laparoscopy in treatment leaks occurring after minimally invasive colorectal resections.Thirty-four 566 consecutive patients who underwent resection for cancer between January 2004 and December 2012 showed signs anastomotic leakage (6%) requiring reoperation were studied using a prospectively maintained database. Patient characteristics, clinical signs, surgical approach, laparoscopy, operative postoperative results, rate permanent stoma...
