Minimally invasive approach for retrorectal tumors above and below S3: a multicentric tertiary center retrospective study (MiaRT study).

Background: Retrorectal tumors are uncommon lesions developed in the retrorectal space. Data on their minimally invasive resection are scarce and the optimal surgical approach for tumors below S3 remains debated.

Methods: We performed a retrospective review of consecutive patients who underwent minimally invasive resection of retrorectal tumors between 2005 and 2022 at two tertiary university hospital centers, by comparing the results obtained for lesions located above or below S3.

Personalized pre-habilitation reduces anastomotic complications compared to up front surgery before ileocolic resection in high-risk patients with Crohn's disease: A single center retrospective study.

Background: The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of a personalized prehabilitation (PP) before ileocolic resection (ICR) on the postoperative anastomotic complications in patients with Crohn's Disease (CD) with high risk of post-operative complications.

Materials And Methods: All high-risk patients who required ICR with primary anastomosis for CD between January 2010 and March 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. PP included nutritional support, antibiotic therapy or drainage of an abscess, stopping or decreasing corticosteroid treatments.

A retropancreatic celio-mesenteric paraganglioma.

Paragangliomas are extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas that arise from chromaffin cells in the sympathetic or parasympathetic neural paraganglia. Surgery remains the only curative treatment, although prominent vascularity can make excision difficult. We have recently encountered a patient with a retropancreatic celio-mesenteric paraganglioma unusually located between celiac trunk (CT) and superior mesenteric artery.

Registrar performance in minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy and effects on postoperative outcomes.

Background: Minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) is nowadays an established standard procedure for non-locally advanced pancreatic lesions without celio-mesenteric vascular invasion. However, little is known about how the involvement of junior surgeons in MIDP affects postoperative outcomes. We performed a retrospective case series study in order to determine whether registrar involvement in MIDP is associated with adverse outcomes.

Outcomes of elective left colectomy in renal-transplanted patients: a single-center case-control study (LECoRT study).

Purpose: Renal-transplanted patients are reported to have a high anastomotic leakage (AL) rate after colorectal surgery. We aimed to define AL-related morbidity and mortality rates after elective left colectomy in renal-transplanted patients.

Methods: Data were prospectively collected between 2010 and 2015 from patients who underwent elective left colectomy with supra-peritoneal anastomosis in a single French referral hospital.

Revised Sleeve Gastrectomy: Our Experience.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has rapidly become increasingly popular in bariatric surgery. However, in the long-term follow-up, weight loss failure and intractable severe acid reflux after primary LSG can necessitate further interventions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate our initial case series regarding the complications and short-term weight loss results of the ReSleeve Gastrectomy (ReSG).

Efficacy of Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation with mucopexy, in the short and long terms for patients with hemorrhoidal disease.

Background: Several studies comparing Doppler-guided hemorrhoidal artery ligation (DG HAL) with or without mucopexy with hemorrhoidopexy and hemorrhoidectomy techniques show no difference in short-term efficacy. The aim of this study was to evaluate efficacy of DG HAL with mucopexy (DG HAL+m) in the long term (beyond 5 years) for patients with hemorrhoidal disease.

Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted on patients with symptomatic hemorrhoidal disease of any stage treated with DG HAL m at our outpatient colorectal surgery unit in April 2009-April 2013.

[Risk factors in the failure of surgical repair of pelvic organ prolapse].

Introduction: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery has variable results of recurrence and complications. We have aimed to analyze our outcomes in order to know the factors associated with anatomical and functional failure in POP surgery.

Material And Methods: A retrospective study of 69 patients who underwent POP surgery at our hospital was performed.

[Combined external radiotherapy and hormone therapy in patients with locally advanced prostate cancer: predictive factors of genitourinary toxicity].

Introduction: Radiotherapy and androgen deprivation are an established treatment option for locally advanced prostate cancer. We evaluate outcomes in efficacy and toxicity for patients treated with this combined therapy at our institution.

Methods: A retrospective study of 80 patients with locally advanced prostate cancer treated with radiotherapy combined with neo-adjuvant (2 months) and adjuvant (24 months) androgen deprivation.
