Meticulous Closure of Mesenteric Defects Effectively Reduces the Incidence of Internal Hernia After Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.

Introduction: Internal hernia (IH) after Roux-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) can lead to extended small bowel ischemia if it not recognized and treated promptly. The aim of this study is to show whether improvement in mesenteric defect (MD) closure reduces the incidence of IH.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from our database including all patients who underwent laparoscopic RYGB between 1999 and 2015.

Assessing the perioperative gain of weight (Δweight) as a determinant of morbidity after kidney transplantation: a retrospective exploratory study.

Kidney transplantation (KT) is associated with a substantial risk of postoperative complications (POC) for which performant predictors are lacking. Data showed that a perioperative gain of weight (ΔWeight) was associated with higher risk of POC, but it remains unexplored in KT. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the association between ΔWeight and POC after KT.

Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy versus Chemotherapy for Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma; Which Is the Optimal Treatment Option?

: Locally advanced gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJ) is treated with either perioperative chemotherapy (CT) or preoperative radiochemotherapy (RCT) followed by surgery. The aim of this study was to compare pathologic response and long-term outcomes in junction adenocarcinoma treated with neoadjuvant RCT versus CT. : All patients with locally advanced GEJ adenocarcinoma treated with neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) followed by surgery between 2009 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.

Early peristomal complications: detailed analysis, classification and predictive risk factors.

Introduction: Peristomal complications are frequently neglected by surgeons. Our aim was to assess peristomal complications occurring within 30 days after surgery and identify predictive risk factors.

Methods: All patients who underwent stoma creation from January 2014 to June 2016 in our institution were included unless patients who died, had their stoma reversed or were lost to follow-up.

[Functional disorders in digestive surgery : an update].

Surgical management of oncologic situations in visceral surgery is increasing. Overall survival and related quality of life are improved, due to enhanced perioperative care, improvement in strategies like surgical technique and oncological therapy. Functional disorders, whether or not related to oncologic disease, are not to be forgotten.

The Typical Presentation Spectrum of Deep Vein Thrombosis Associated with Inferior Vena Cava Malformations.

Congenital malformations of the inferior vena cava (IVC) are rare and underreported. They can be a risk factor for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) as a result of inadequate venous drainage of the lower extremities through collateral circulation. The significant number of cases reported in the literature highlights their importance, warranting investigating their existence in younger individuals with idiopathic DVT of the lower extremities and pelvic veins.
