Background: Esophagojejunal anastomotic leakage (EJAL) is among the most feared complications after gastric cancer surgery; they entail an uncertain prognosis and relate with increased morbidity and mortality. Factors associated with their development are not well determined, and their diagnosis and treatment vary between institutions.
Material And Methods: Retrospective case-control study of patients operated of total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy from January 2002 to December 2018.
Objetivo: El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar los resultados perioperatorios y a largo plazo de los pacientes sometidos a exenteración pélvica para cáncer de recto en un centro de referencia en la Ciudad de México.
MÉtodo: Se incluyeron todos los pacientes que se sometieron a exenteración pélvica por cáncer de recto entre 1995 y 2019. Se analizaron variables demográficas, clínicas, quirúrgicas y patológicas.
Background: The implementation of quality-of-care indicators aiming to improve colorectal cancer (CRC) outcomes has been previously described by Cancer Care Ontario. The aim of this study was to assess the quality-of-care indicators in CRC at a referral centre in a developing country and to determine whether improvement occurred over time.
Methods: We performed a retrospective study of our prospectively collected database of patients after CRC surgery from 2001 to 2016.
Background: It is unknown whether surgically treated achalasia cases regain or surpass their usual weight into obesity or overweight in the long-term post-operative period. Here, we aimed to assess the incidence of overweight/obesity (Ob/Ow) and the risk for reoccurrence up to 48 months post-laparoscopic Heller myotomy (LHM).
Methods: We performed a cohort of 114 achalasia cases undergoing LHM.
Article Synopsis
- Gastrointestinal schwannomas are benign tumors primarily found in the stomach, making surgery the preferred treatment method, often involving laparoscopic approaches.
- The main differential diagnosis for gastric schwannomas is gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), while esophageal schwannomas are rarer and often confused with leiomyomas.
- A systematic review indicated that gastric schwannomas have a high prevalence, with long-term disease-free survival rates over 36 months post-surgery, suggesting effective curative outcomes.
Introduction: Esophageal Schwannoma is a rare tumor that represents the least frequent mesenchymal tumor of the esophagus and represents a condition with only a few cases reported in the literature PRESENTATION OF A CASE: We report a 40-year-old female with a 5 years history of gastroesophageal reflux, repeated history of pharyngitis, odynophagia that culminated in progressive oropharyngeal dysphagia to solids. A barium esophagogram revealed a filling defect in the superior and middle thirds of the esophagus. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a smooth elevated lesion in the upper third of the esophagus, impossible to resect by this mean.

Pancreas divisum results from a fusion failure of the pancreatic buds. The coexistence of pancreas divisum and choledochal cyst in adults has been reported in less than 10 well documented cases.

Objective: To study the efficiency and safety of chewing gum to decrease postoperative ileus in colorectal surgery.
Method: A randomized controlled trial was performed including 64 patients who underwent elective colorectal surgery with primary anastomosis in a tertiary referral center.
