Article Synopsis
  • A study comparing laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy (LVMR) and perineal stapler resection (PSR) in elderly patients with external full-thickness rectal prolapse showed that LVMR resulted in significantly fewer complications and lower recurrence rates.
  • LVMR was linked to better postoperative outcomes, including less incontinence, less constipation, and higher patient satisfaction compared to PSR.
  • Key predictors for prolapse recurrence included the surgical method used (LVMR associated with a 93% reduction in risk), the duration of symptoms, and the length of the prolapse.

Background: Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) is the gold standard surgical intervention for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). LNF can be followed by recurrent symptoms or complications affecting patient satisfaction. The aim of this study is to assess the value of the intraoperative endomanometric evaluation of esophagogastric competence and pressure combined with LNF in patients with large sliding hiatus hernia (>5 cm) with severe GERD (DeMeester score >100).

Background: Hepatobiliary manifestations occur in ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. The effect of laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy (LRP) with ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA) on hepatobiliary manifestations is debated.

Aim: To evaluate hepatobiliary changes after two-stages elective laparoscopic restorative proctocolectomy for patients with UC.
