Abstract Background Accurate quality of life (QoL) data and functional results after cancer surgery are lacking for older patients. The international, multicenter Geriatric Oncology Surgical Assessment Functional rEcovery Surgery (GOSAFE) Study compares QoL before identifies predictors decline in QoL. Methods GOSAFE prospectively collected major elective on adults (≥70 years). Frailty assessment was performed postoperative outcomes recorded (30, 90, 180 days postoperatively) together with by...
The GOSAFE study evaluates risk factors for failing to achieve good quality of life (QoL) and functional recovery (FR) in older patients undergoing surgery colon rectal cancer.
Timing and adequacy of peritoneal source control are the most important pillars in management patients with acute peritonitis. Therefore, early prognostic evaluation peritonitis is paramount to assess severity establish a prompt appropriate treatment. The objectives this study were identify clinical laboratory predictors for in-hospital mortality develop warning score system, based on easily recognizable assessable variables, globally accepted.This worldwide multicentre observational...
Abstract Background Less invasive alternatives than early cholecystectomy (EC) for acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC) treatment have been spreading in recent years. We still lack a reliable tool to select high-risk patients who could benefit from these alternatives. Our study aimed prospectively validate the Chole-risk score predicting postoperative complications undergoing EC ACC compared with other preoperative risk prediction models. Method The S.P.Ri.M.A.C.C. is World Society of...
Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and abdominal pain are commonly seen in a pediatric emergency department (8 18% incidence respectively our center). They manifestations of wide variety diseases ranging from benign to immediately life-threatening. Trichobezoar is an under-diagnosed entity that has be considered children adolescents, expecially female, suffering trichotillomania (compulsion pull hair) trichophagy swallow hair). When undiagnosed, gastric bezoars may cause ulceration, perforation,...
Several studies have demonstrated that training with a laparoscopic simulator improves technical skills. We describe how to build homemade, low-cost (LABOT) and its validation as instrument. First, sixty surgeons filled out survey characterized by 12 closed-answer questions about realism, ergonomics, usefulness for surgical (global scores ranged from 1—very insufficient 5—very good). The results of the questionnaires showed mean (±SD) rating score 4.18 ± 0.65 all users. Then, 15 students...
A strain of Fusarium semitectum Berk. & Rav. from maize stalk rot in southern Italy produced bioactive metabolites when cultured on autoclaved rice kernels at room temperature for 4 weeks. The organic extracts fungal culture showed a strong antibiotic activity towards Geotrichum candidum disk diffusion assays, but they were not toxic to Artemia salina larvae. Two antifungal isolated and characterized by chemical spectroscopic methods as two 3-substituted-4-hydroxy-6-alkyl-2-pyrones,...
Acute appendicitis (AA) is one of the most common causes abdominal pain requiring surgical intervention. Approximately 20% AA cases are characterized by complications such as gangrene, abscesses, perforation, or diffuse peritonitis, which increase patients' morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis can be difficult, evaluation clinical signs, laboratory index imaging should part management patients with suspicion AA.This consensus statement was written in relation to recent evidence for diagnosis...
Abstract Background The incidence of the highly morbid and potentially lethal gangrenous cholecystitis was reportedly increased during COVID-19 pandemic. aim ChoCO-W study to compare clinical findings outcomes acute in patients who had disease with those did not. Methods Data were prospectively collected over 6 months (October 1, 2020, April 30, 2021) 1-month follow-up. In October Delta variant SARS CoV-2 isolated for first time. Demographic data analyzed reported according STROBE...
Abstract COVID-19 negatively affected surgical activity, but the potential benefits resulting from adopted measures remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate change in activity and benefit perspective Italian surgeons on behalf SPIGC. A nationwide online survey practice before, during, after pandemic conducted March–April 2022 (NCT:05323851). Effects hospital-related patients’ management personal professional development across specialties were explored. Data demographics,...
Abstract Introduction A textbook outcome patient is one in which the operative course passes uneventful, without complications, readmission or mortality. There a lack of publications terms TO on acute cholecystitis. Objetive The objective this study to analyze achievement patients with urgent early cholecystectomy (UEC) for Acute Cholecystitis. and identify factors are related achieving TO. Materials methods This post hoc SPRiMACC study. It´s prospective multicenter observational run by...
Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is a rare clinical pathology characterized by sub-mucosal and/or sub-serous cysts of free gas, forming cystic lesions usually ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 cm in size within the gastrointestinal tract. About 3% patients with PCI develop complications such as pneumoperitoneum, intestinal volvulus, obstruction, or hemorrhage, these cases need immediate surgical intervention. Cyst rupture can produce peritoneal irritation and pneumoperitoneum. A 65-years-old...
Malrotation of gut is a congenital anomaly foetal intestinal rotation and it mostly discovered in early childhood as acute obstruction. This condition very rare often silent adults. We present case 44-year-old woman admitted with abdominal pain. The CT scan showed ileal conglomerate loops thickened walls filled liquid the right iliac side. Laparotomic Ladd's procedure was performed successfully division band, adhesiolysis, reconstruction Treitz's ligament, small bowel resection Merckel's...
The obturator hernia is a rare pelvic that often comes in the shape of bowel obstruction caused by presence an intestinal segment, more ileum, passing trough foramen wall (Fig. 1). This type accounts for 0.5-1.4% all hernias.We report clinical case 84-year-old woman with no previous surgical interventions, who went to emergency room complaining vomit and nausea, bowels closed gas stool, which she had experienced three days. Routine blood test showed impaired renal function hydrohelectrolyte...
A considerable step forward in low rectal cancer resection has been done the last decades. Maintaining total mesorectal excision as gold standard treatment, new techniques such Trans-Anal Mini-Invasive Surgery (TAMIS) and Total Mesorectal Excision (TATME), which have added to improve skills laparoscopic robotic surgery, currently represent advancement of this procedure. Despite improvements surgical techniques, complications after anterior for still remain a challenge. Drainage colostomy are...
Swyer-James-MacLeod Syndrome (SJMS) is an uncommon, emphysematous disease characterized by obliteration of the small bronchioles, hypoplasia/or absence pulmonary artery and peripheral vascular bed. It most commonly diagnosed in childhood. Patients are often asymptomatic or they could suffer from symptoms recurrent infections. Spontaneous pneumothorax a rare presentation this syndrome. We report case 42-year old female patient presented at our Emergency Department with complaints dyspnea...
Laparoscopic liver surgery is spreading, encouraged by technical and technological improvement. Both the obligated narrow space difficulty to modify it lead a more complex approach lesions located in posterosuperior portion of liver. Surgical strategies such as Caudal or Diamond technique could ameliorate surgical procedure, but these areas remain challenge are still classified complex.We discuss case 68 year old man with metachronous metastasis dorsal part segment 8. We used portal phase...

We present case of true left treated with cholecystectomy.A 90 y/o woman acute abdominal pain was hospitalised and underwent cholecystectomy. A preoperative CT scan didn't show the variation. Intraoperative revealed that carefully dissected at Calot's triangle identification cystic duct artery. After...
