Aim: The lungs represent the second most common site of colorectal cancer metastases. Although surgery is commonly considered the best treatment, many other invasive and noninvasive procedures and treatments have been adopted to improve patient survival and there is no clear evidence in the literature of which is the more effective. The aim of this work was to identify which treatment confers the best gain in overall survival for patients with pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer.

- The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is an effective obesity treatment, and a variant called banded-RYGB may offer advantages like better weight loss and fewer complications.
- The meta-analysis included 13 studies with over 8,500 patients comparing outcomes between banded-RYGB and standard RYGB.
- Results indicated that banded-RYGB led to significantly higher excess weight loss at 1, 2, and 5 years post-surgery, although the difference in postoperative complications was not statistically significant.
Background: The impact of cirrhosis on the postoperative outcomes of distal pancreatectomy is yet to be reported. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of distal pancreatectomy in patients with cirrhosis.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, multicentric study patients with cirrhosis who underwent planned distal pancreatectomy between 2008 and 2020 in French high volume centers.
Background: Huge (>10 cm) hepatocellular carcinoma is burdened by elevated mortality due to its peculiar characteristics and delayed diagnosis. Liver resection is considered the gold standard although survival is poor. Recently, some different strategies have been evaluated to improve results in tumor recurrence and survival.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Obesity is associated with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which leads to an increased rate of primary liver cancers, cirrhosis, and decreased life expectancy. Metabolic/bariatric surgery (MBS) determines long-term weight loss and the resolution of obesity-related medical problems.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of MBS on liver histologic features in individuals with obesity.
