The aim of the study is to characterize postoperative acute pancreatitis (POAP).A standardized definition POAP after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has been recently proposed, but specific studies are lacking.The patients were extracted from prospective database Pancreas Institute Verona. was defined as an elevation serum pancreatic amylase levels above upper limit normal (52 U/L) on day (POD) 0 or 1. endpoints included defining incidence and predictors investigating association with fistula...
The operative scenarios with the highest postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) risk represent situations in which prevention and mitigation strategies have strongest potential to affect surgical outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Evidence from studies providing stratification is lacking.To investigate whether pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) or pancreaticogastrostomy (PG), both externalized transanastomotic stent, best reconstruction method for patients at high of POPF...
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pan-NENs) represent an increasingly common indication for pancreatic resection, but there are few data regarding possible recurrence after surgery. The aim of the study was to describe frequency, timing, and patterns resection pan-NENs with consequent implications postoperative follow-up.We performed a retrospective analysis resected between 1990 2015 at Pancreas Institute, University Verona Hospital Trust. Predictors were assessed. Survival conducted using...
Abstract Background In Italy, surgeons continue to drain the abdominal cavity in more than 50 per cent of patients after colorectal resection. The aim this study was evaluate impact placement on early adverse events undergoing elective surgery. Methods A database retrospectively analysed through a 1:1 propensity score-matching model including 21 covariates. primary endpoint postoperative duration stay, and secondary endpoints were surgical site infections, infectious morbidity rate defined...
It is common to observe a gap between the day on which discharge criteria are reached and actual of after colorectal surgery. The aim this study understand reasons for difference its clinical impact overall length stay (LOS). All patients enrolled in prospective iCral3 were analyzed regarding any reason "fit discharge" (FFD) "actual (AD) dates. association LOS whole population was then assessed through multivariate regression model including other confounding variables. analysis included...
Abstract Background Current evidence concerning bowel preparation before elective colorectal surgery is still controversial. This study aimed to compare the incidence of anastomotic leakage (AL), surgical site infections (SSIs), and overall morbidity (any adverse event, OM) after using four different types preparation. Methods A prospective database gathered among 78 Italian centers in two studies, including 6241 patients who underwent resection with anastomosis for malignant or benign...
To evaluate the effectiveness of a prevention programme against vertical transmission HIV in resource-limited setting and to investigate variables associated with compliance. The Kento-Mwana project (2005–2008) provided counselling, serological biomolecular testing prophylaxis/therapy HIV-positive pregnant women their children attending four antenatal clinics Pointe Noire, Republic Congo. Expected actual rates were compared. Univariate multivariate analyses performed order identify...
Aim The aim of this study is to assess if a patient-focused mobile application can increase compliance with active Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) items and thereby improve surgery-related outcomes patient satisfaction. Method This prospective observational patients admitted for elective colorectal surgery, under the ERAS protocol, having access iColon during all perioperative phases. Results 444 participants were included in study. overall adherence use was 62.4%. 74.1%. Adherence...
Background and Aims: The complication rate after surgery for gastric cancer varies according to the particular definition of morbidity, so it’s necessary report them using a standardized method, Clavien-Dindo system. purpose this study was prospectively analyze all post-gastrectomy complications in patients with adenocarcinoma severity grade system, order identify risk factors postoperative their prognostic significance on survival. Methods: This is based data from 90 consecutive who...
Background: Patients at high risk for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) still represent a major concern after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). While several meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have supported pancreaticogastrostomy (PG), other highlighted the superiority pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) with externalized transanastomotic stents. This RCT compared PJ to PG, both stents, specifically in setting POPF risk.Methods: undergoing elective PD were prospectively...
Abstract Background The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol is an evidence-based standardised multimodal programme formulated to reduce surgical stress and optimise surgery. ERAS represents the best care practice for patients undergoing colorectal To ensure high compliance with active elements, must be educated actively participate in perioperative pathway. protocols were originally designed treat cancer (CRC), only few studies have assessed this IBD patients. aim of study was...
Background: Hartmann’s reversal (HR) is one of the most technically challenging operations in colorectal surgery. A small percentage HR are performed laparoscopically. The pelvic dissection key point procedure and can be demanding when rectal stump extraperitoneal if condition complex. Methods: retrospective observational single-center study was designed to analyze outcomes patients with an who underwent from January 2015 December 2020 at IRCCS Sacro Cuore Don Calabria Hospital Negrar...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy multiple detector computed tomography (MDCT) in preoperative staging gastric cancer, prospectively comparing CT findings with pathological at surgery, a single-center study. A total 19 consecutive patients primary cancer recruited between March and July 2014 were submitted MDCT according standard protocol. All diagnostic procedures performed by dedicated radiologists who unaware final results. Subsequently, 16 underwent surgical treatment 15...
