Introduction: In the gastric cancer the most widely used classification is the AJCC TNM system. However, it presents limitations, such as staging migration in cases with suboptimal lymphadenectomies. The nodal ratio has been proposed as an alternative system, proving to be a good prognostic predictor of survival.

- The study investigates the safety of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ELC) for patients aged 85 and older with acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC) by comparing outcomes with younger patients from 2013 to 2018.
- Results show that the oldest-old group had a higher 90-day mortality and more complications before adjustments, indicating that they had more severe health issues.
- After using propensity score matching to balance groups, findings suggested that ELC is relatively safe for selected older patients, indicating that age alone shouldn't prevent surgery for ACC.
Background: Despite having been described for several centuries linitis plastica's (LP) prognostic implication remain unclear.
Objective: To analyze the impact of LP on the survival of patients undergoing gastrectomy for gastric adenocarcinoma.
Method: A single-center retrospective study of cases of LP diagnosed and confirmed by pathological anatomy has been carried out in a third-level center for 5 years.

- Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ELC) is the standard treatment for acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC), but it can lead to significant postoperative complications; this study aims to identify risk factors for these complications and create a predictive score.
- A multicentric analysis of 1868 ACC patients revealed that factors such as previous surgeries, diabetes, high bilirubin levels, and gallbladder perforation significantly increased the risk of complications post-surgery.
- The newly developed Chole-Risk Score categorizes patients based on these factors, showing a clear correlation between higher scores and increased complication rates, making it a useful tool for predicting outcomes in ACC surgeries.
Scimitar syndrome is a congenital malformation that is usually associated with hypoplasia of the right lung with an abnormal blood supply by direct branches of the aorta. These branches normally require embolization.

Objective: a retrospective study was performed of gastric cancer cases managed in a third-level site over ten years in order to compare subtypes between the most widely used classifications (Lauren and World Health Organization [WHO]).
Methods: a comparative study of the most relevant clinicopathological characteristics and a multivariate survival analysis were performed.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the impact of timing for early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ELC) in patients with acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC) based on when surgery is performed, using a sample of 1,868 cases categorized by timing of surgery and hospital volume.
- - Results indicate that surgeries performed after 7 days (Group 2) had significantly higher rates of conversion to open surgery, intraoperative complications, and post-operative issues compared to surgeries within 7 days (Group 1).
- - Higher volume centers (HVC) demonstrated better outcomes overall compared to low volume centers (LVC), suggesting that ELC for ACC is safer and more effective when performed in experienced facilities, especially
Background: The need for cosmetic results in our society and the necessity of an early recovery have promoted the development of minimally invasive techniques, including single-port approach. Some studies have tried to demonstrate the advantages of this access compared with conventional laparoscopic approach. This type of approach requires a high-cost multi-port device, so that some surgeons have tried to create a low-cost homemade device.
