[Parastomal hernia in Bricker urinary diversion as a reversible cause of obstructive uropathy: An exceptional complication.].

Parastomal hernia in patientswith ileal urinary diversion is insufficiently described in theliterature, and among its complications, the presence ofurinary obstruction is not usually reported. METHODS: We present a 74-year-old male with a Brickertype urinary diversion. He presented urinary infections withCT scan showing hydronephrosis with obstruction of theileal conduit probably related to a parastomal hernia.

Influence of sarcopenia in major pancreatic surgery. A systematic review of the literature.

Post-operative morbidity of pancreatectomies occurs in up to 40-50% of patients, even in modern series. There is a need to find a simple scale in order to identify patients with increased risk of developing major post-operative complications after pancreatic resections. Many studies have been published on sarcopenia and surgical outcomes.

Readmission rates after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: are they affected by ERCP prior to surgery?

Aim: the aim of this study was to assess the reasons for and the time of hospital readmissions after cholecystectomy, according to whether an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed.

Method: all patients that underwent cholecystectomy at the Service of Digestive Diseases and General Surgery of the Hospital Universitario de Guadalajara between January 2011 and December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who underwent cholecystectomy and were readmitted to any hospital service within 90 days of surgery were included.

Intrabiliary metastases in colorectal cancer: a systematic review.

Background: Liver metastases emerge during the course of colorectal cancer (CRC) in 25-50% of patients. A small proportion of patients present intrabiliary growth. The absence of large series means that little is known about intrabiliary metastasis (IBM), its radiological diagnosis, the most suitable surgical techniques, and its prognostic implications.

The top 100: A review of the most cited articles in Surgery.

Introduction: We performed a study of the top 100 most cited articles in the five general surgery journals with the highest impact according to Journal Citation Report.

Methods: We selected the five journals with the highest impact in 2015: Annals of Surgery, British Journal of Surgery, JAMA Surgery, Surgery, and Journal of the American College of Surgeons. In January 2017, using the Web of Science application, we performed a search of all articles published by these journals and identified the 100 most cited articles (top 100).

Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors and Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm of the Pancreas: A Systematic Review.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify factors that explain the association of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (IPMNs-PNETs), radiological characteristics, and factors that might guide therapy.

Methods: We performed a systematic review of the literature to search for articles on concurrent IPMN-PNET, mixed endocrine-exocrine pancreatic tumors, and/or PNET with an intraductal growth pattern.

Results: A review of the literature suggests that there is some confusion about association of IPMNs-PNETs.

Ninety-day readmissions after inpatient cholecystectomy: A 5-year analysis.

Aim: To determine the incidence of readmission after cholecystectomy using 90 d as a time limit.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients undergoing cholecystectomy at the General Surgery and Digestive System Service of the University Hospital of Guadalajara, Spain. We included all patients undergoing cholecystectomy for biliary pathology who were readmitted to hospital within 90 d.

[Extrahepatic and extrapulmonary hydatidosis].

Background: Cystic echinococcosis is a zoonosis caused by larvae of the parasite Echinococcus that is endemic in many countries of the Mediterranean area. It can affect any organ, with the most common sites being liver (70%) and lung (20%). Splenic hydatid disease, despite being rare, is the third most common location.
