Robotic-assisted Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy after bile duct injury.

Background: The Da Vinci Robotic Surgical System has positioned itself as a tool that improves the ergonomics of the surgeon, facilitating dissection in confined spaces and enhancing the surgeon's skills. The technical aspects for successful bile duct repair are well-vascularized ducts, tension-free anastomosis, and complete drainage of hepatic segments, and all are achievable with robotic-assisted approach.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of our prospectively collected database of patients with iatrogenic bile duct injury who underwent robotic-assisted Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.

Laparoscopic Choledochoduodenostomy.

Introduction: Today's options for biliary bypass procedures, for difficult choledocholithiasis, range from open surgery to laparo-endoscopic hybrid procedures. The aim of this study was to analyze the outcomes of patients with difficult choledocholithiasis treated with laparoscopic choledochoduodenostomy.

Methods: We performed a prospective observational study from March 2011 to June 2016.

[Disseminated peritoneal hydatidosis manifested as intestinal ischaemia].

Background: The hydatid disease, or echinococcosis, is endemic in Mediterranean countries, as well as in Australia, Asia, Africa, South America, and Canada. Among its complications is intraperitoneal rupture, a rare form of presentation, with highly variable symptoms. The treatment of choice is surgery plus adjuvant medical treatment in most patients.
