Background: Protective stoma after rectal surgery has been associated with important complications. The most common is surgical site infection (SSI) high rates after stoma reversal reported in literature. Our study compared the rate of SSI of two skin closure techniques, linear closure, and purse string closure.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate clinicopathological findings, management strategies, and short-term outcomes for adults undergoing gastrointestinal emergency procedures, while also exploring the effectiveness of existing risk scores.
- The primary goal is to enhance care for these patients by analyzing postoperative morbidity and mortality rates, hospital stay lengths, and discharge outcomes, ultimately improving survival chances for high-risk surgical emergencies.
Background: Obesity is among the main determinants of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease progression towards severe liver disease (SLD). However, risk factors for SLD in individuals with obesity have not been examined.
Objectives: To identify the independent risk factors for SLD among participants with obesity from the UK Biobank.
In-hospital economic burden of anastomotic leakage after colorectal anastomosis surgery: a real-world cost analysis in Italy.
Expert Rev Pharmacoecon Outcomes Res
June 2022
Article Synopsis
- Anastomotic leakage (AL) is a serious complication that can arise after colorectal surgery, leading to significantly higher inpatient costs for affected patients.
- The study analyzed medical records from a single Italian center, revealing that patients with AL incurred nearly double the costs of those without it, largely due to increased hospital stay, use of medical supplies, and additional medical consultations.
- The findings suggest that healthcare systems face economic challenges due to AL, as the reimbursement does not sufficiently cover treatment costs, underscoring the need for better prevention strategies.
