Robotic subtotal D2-gastrectomy for gastric cancer after right hemiliver transplantation: case report and literature review.

Background: With the progress achieved in transplant surgeries an improved long-term survival of patients is obtained due to more effective immunosuppressant therapy. malignancy (DNM) has gained interest in this group of patients. DNM is a major cause of late mortality after liver transplantation.

Prognosis of Adrenal Oncocytic Neoplasms (AONs): Literature Review of 287 Cases and Presentation of the Oldest Patient.

Introduction: The adrenocortical oncocytic neoplasms (AONs) are rare tumors of the adrenal gland, classified as oncocytoma (AO), oncocytic neoplasm of uncertain malignant potential (AONUMP) and oncocytic carcinoma (AOC). The aim of this study was to perform a review of the literature, in order to evaluate the prognosis of these rare cancers. We also reported the oldest patient with AON.

Minimally invasive colorectal surgery learning curve.

The learning curve in minimally invasive colorectal surgery is a constant subject of discussion in the literature. Discordant data likely reflects the varying degrees of each surgeon's experience in colorectal, laparoscopic or robotic surgery. Several factors are necessary for a successful minimally invasive colorectal surgery training program, including: Compliance with oncological outcomes; dissection along the embryological planes; constant presence of an expert tutor; periodic discussion of the morbidity and mortality rate; and creation of a dedicated, expert team.

Pancreatic Ducts Obliteration With Controlled Injection of Onyx: A Proposal of New Onyx Pancreatic Ducts Obliteration Scoring System.

Background: The aim of this study was confirm the efficacy and feasibility of Onyx injection for pancreatic stump management after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and investigate a new Onyx Pancreatic Ducts Obliteration (OPDO) scoring system of pancreatic duct obliteration (PDOb) in patients with high risk of Post-Operative Pancreatic Fistula (POPF).

Study Design: We enrolled ten patients undergoing PDOb with Onyx intraoperative controlled injection after elective PD.

Results: PDOb with Onyx controlled injection was classified according to the OPDO scoring system in three degrees: complete 5/10 (50%), medium 2/10 (20%) and bad 3/10 (30%).
