Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the effectiveness of minimally invasive endoscopic procedures, particularly EUS-guided techniques, for treating patients with acute cholecystitis and common bile duct stones, especially those unfit for surgery.
- It involved a retrospective evaluation of various procedures performed between January 2020 and June 2023, assessing both technical and clinical success rates as well as safety through adverse event rates.
- Results indicated high success rates for EUS-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) and percutaneous gallbladder drainage (PT-GBD) in high-risk patients, with low rates of adverse events, particularly for EUS-GBD.
Introduction: This is a retrospective analysis of patients operated for typhoid perforation, aiming to analyze epidemiology, clinical-diagnostic and therapeutic aspects, mortality and prognosis.
Methods: 47 patients were operated at Matany Hospital from 2010 to 2016. We examined clinical files to collect data.

An open issue is the need to find an ionizing radiation free technique which allows a safe and correct positioning of the device. Echo-guided vein puncture is currently accepted as the best method for decreasing major immediate complications.

Introduction: In liver transplantation (OLT) a porto-caval shunt is a well-defined technique practiced by many surgeons in several centers.
Methods: We considered 186 cadaveric OLT patients who underwent a cavo-cavostomy-type reconstruction; they were divided into two groups: those in whom we performed a porto-caval shunt (group A) and those in whose we did not (group B). We evaluated several variables: warm and total ischemia time, intraoperative blood and fresh frozen plasma transfusions, crystalloid and colloid requirements, blood loss, operative duration, hemodynamic intraoperative changes and diuresis, length of hospital stay, and creatinine values at days 1 and 2, and at discharge day.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess the safety and the efficacy of hepatic resective surgery in the treatment of single lobe hepatolithiasis.
Patients And Methods: Retrospective analysis and comparison between hepatic resections in patients with hepatolithiasis (hepatolithiasis group [HG]) and liver masses (control group [CG]). Seventeen consecutive Caucasian patients with single lobe hepatolithiasis (HG) and 30 patients with liver masses without chronic liver disease and previous chemotherapy (CG), were operated during the 5-year period 2000-2005, inclusive.
