Article Synopsis
- * Conducted between June 2019 and August 2020, the retrospective analysis involved 40 hospitals, with insights derived from over 2,200 liver surgeries, including 1350 for colorectal metastases, of which 150 utilized the liver-first strategy.
- * Findings revealed no significant differences in surgical outcomes between hospitals performing fewer than 50 versus those performing 50 or more liver surgeries per year, prompting further research into optimal candidate selection for this treatment approach.
Introduction: Neoplastic degeneration is an uncommon but extremely serious complication of pilonidal sinus (PS) disease. We pretend to determine the factors that influence in the prognosis of the neoplastic disease assessing clinical features and histological findings.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively studied the patients diagnosed of malignization of PS in our institution from 2000 to 2019.
The Internet of Things is driving extensive efforts to develop intelligent everyday objects. This requires seamless integration of relatively simple electronics, for example through 'stick-on' electronics labels. We believe the future evolution of this technology will be governed by Wright's Law, which was first proposed in 1936 and states that the cost of a product decreases with cumulative production.

The demographic characteristics of donors has changed, and some accepted donors can present difficulties in surgical technique and risky decisions on the validity of the retrieved organ or organs. An alternative method to the cannulation of the abdominal aorta is proposed when there is evidence of disease in the infrarenal aorta during the multiorgan procurement.

Material And Method: Prospective observational study which includes 117 patients who underwent surgery consecutively due to pancreatic or periampullary tumours. In 61 of the patients, cephalic pancreatectomy was carried out; 15 underwent total pancreatectomy; one underwent enucleation and 40 underwent distal pancreatectomy.
Background/aims: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is now accepted as being safe for acute cholecystitis. However, it has not become routine, because the exact timing and approach to the surgical management remains ill defined. This study evaluated the effect of timing of LC in patients with acute cholecystitis.

Material And Method: From January 2001 to December 2006, a prospective database was kept of all patients with a bile duct injury (BDI) following laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Patients' charts were reviewed to analyse perioperative surgical management.
Purpose Of Review: The purpose of this review is to consider recent advances in the definition, pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, and treatment of necrotizing soft tissue infections.
Recent Findings: The efficacy of early surgical debridement combined with antimicrobial therapy, close monitoring and physiologic support is strongly demonstrated. Novel therapeutic strategies including vacuum-assisted wound-closure therapy and intravenous immunoglobulin have been described.
