Article Synopsis
- - The study discusses advancements in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy, emphasizing the importance of complete mesocolic excision (CME) and central vascular ligation (CVL) for colon cancer surgery, particularly based on findings from the CoDIG 1 and CoDIG 2 studies in Italy.
- - Researchers aimed to use machine learning techniques (MLTs) to accurately predict the postoperative length of stay (LoS) for patients undergoing this procedure, training algorithms like random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM) on large patient datasets.
- - Results showed that the RF algorithm achieved high accuracy in predicting longer stays, with key predictors identified, such as fast-track protocols and drainage, indicating that MLTs could
Purpose: To evaluate the incidence of incisional hernia in patients undergoing direct access to the abdominal cavity in urological surgery.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review in Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane Central from 1980 to the present according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) statement. Eighty-four studies were selected for inclusion in this analysis, and meta-analysis and meta-regression were performed.
Background: Incisional hernias (IH) are a significant postoperative complication with profound implications for patient morbidity and healthcare costs. The relationship between IH and perioperative factors in pancreatic surgery, with particular attention to preoperative biliary stents and pancreatic fistulas requires further exploration.
Methods: This retrospective observational study examined adult patients who underwent open pancreatic surgeries via midline incision at a high-volume tertiary hepatopancreatobiliary center from January 2008 to December 2021.
Introduction: Transumbilical laparoscopy (TUL) has emerged as a promising technique for establishing pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, offering potential safety, feasibility, and clinical benefits. This retrospective multicentre study aims to evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of TUL in the management of gallbladder diseases.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on a cohort of 2,543 patients who underwent TUL between 2011 and 2021 across various medical institutions in Italy.
Colorectal cancer, the third most common cancer worldwide, affects 40-45% of patients on the right side. Surgery, especially minimally invasive methods such as laparoscopic and robotic procedures, is the preferred treatment. However, these techniques present technical complications.
