Indocyanine green in left side colorectal surgery segmental resection to decrease anastomotic leak: A parallel retrospective cohort study of 115 patients.

Background: We investigated the impact of Indocyanine Green (ICG) angiography on reducing anastomotic leakage (AL) after elective left segmental colon resection, including transverse resection. While ICG is widely used in colorectal surgery to assess vascularization, its true effect on AL, particularly in left segmental resections, remains unclear.

Study Design: This retrospective, monocentric cohort study included patients undergoing left and transverse colon resection from January 2017 to July 2023.

3-D reconstruction in liver surgery: a systematic review.

Background: Three-dimensional reconstruction of the liver offers several advantages to the surgeon before and during liver resection. This review discusses the factors behind the use of liver 3-D reconstruction.

Methods: Systematic electronic search, according to PRISMA criteria, was performed.

Could the top-down right hemicolectomy be an easier alternative to the classic medial-to-lateral approach in obese patients? A case report with video example.

• Laparoscopic right hemicolectomy is performed only in 25% of cases in recent survey. • The medial-to-lateral and the bottom-to-up are the most frequent approaches used to perform surgery. • Top-to-down right hemicolectomy is an infrequent approach.

Redo surgery after low anterior resection for chronic pelvic sinus and anastomotic disruption. Could pull-through procedure with delayed anastomosis be a feasible alternative? Case reports and narrative review.

Introduction: A considerable step forward in low rectal cancer resection has been done in the last decades. Maintaining total mesorectal excision as the gold standard treatment, new techniques such as Trans-Anal Mini-Invasive Surgery (TAMIS) and Trans-Anal Total Mesorectal Excision (TATME), which have been added to improve skills in laparoscopic and robotic surgery, currently represent the advancement of this procedure. Despite improvements in surgical techniques, complications after low anterior resection for rectal cancer still remain a challenge.

Laparoscopic Resection of Synchronous Liver Metastasis Involving the Left Hepatic Vein and the Common Trunk Bifurcation: A Strategy of Parenchyma-Sparing Resection with Left Sectionectomy and 4a Subsegmentectomy by Arantius Approach.

When colorectal cancer presents with liver metastasis, hepatic resection remains the most important factor in prolonging survival, and new paradigms have been proposed to augment resectability. An adequate liver remnant and vascularisation are the only limits in complex liver resection, and parenchyma-sparing surgery is a strategy for minimising the complications, preserving liver function, and allowing patients to undergo further liver resection. The laparoscopic approach represents a new challenge, especially when lesions are located in the superior or posterior part of the liver.

Müllerianosis of the urinary bladder may simulate a bladder cancer: a case report.

Müllerianosis is an extremely rare entity consisting of an admixture of 2 or more müllerian tissues. We report the case of a 61 years old woman who came to our attention with hypogastric pain and dysuria. She was in menopause and had a previous history of cesarean section.

Achieving precision surgery in laparoscopic liver resection with the aid of preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction: A case report.

Introduction: The use of three-dimensional image reconstruction in liver surgery is well-known and has got many applications: It was first developed for vein reconstruction in liver transplantation and for liver volumetry to prevent post hepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) after major resections. There are many other advantages described in the literature provided by three-dimensional reconstruction, however its diffusion is currently limited.

Clinical Case: We present the case of a woman with a single colon cancer metastasis in segment 5 of the liver.

Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome presenting as spontaneous pneumothorax in an adult: Case report and review of literature.

Swyer-James-MacLeod Syndrome (SJMS) is an uncommon, emphysematous disease characterized by obliteration of the small bronchioles, hypoplasia/or absence of pulmonary artery and peripheral vascular bed. It is most commonly diagnosed in childhood. Patients are often asymptomatic or they could suffer from symptoms of recurrent pulmonary infections.

Giant solitary fibrous tumor of the pelvis: A case report and review of literature.

Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare spindle cells neoplasms most likely arising from mesenchymal cells. Usually they involve the pleura. Even if extra-thoracic SFTs are rare, lately they are diagnosed with increased frequency.

Rapidly fatal outcome of Covid-19 after successful emergency surgery during pandemic outbreak in Northern Italy.

Introduction: A pandemic outbreak of novel coronavirus, named SARS-CoV-2 and responsible of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), has rapidly spread from China to Europe, being Northern Italy the first focus outside Asia. Little is known about the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients undergoing surgery.

Presentation Of Case: Here we report the first confirmed case of early postoperative SARS-CoV-2 infection in a patient recovering after Hartmann's procedure for acute diverticulitis.

Ladd's band in the adult, an unusual case of occlusion: Case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Malrotation of gut is a congenital anomaly of foetal intestinal rotation and it is mostly discovered in early childhood as acute intestinal obstruction. This condition is very rare and often silent in adults.

Presentation Of Case: We present a case of 44-year-old woman admitted with acute abdominal pain.

Asymptomatic pneumoperitoneum in pneumatosis coli: A misleading operative indication.

Introduction: Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is a rare clinical pathology characterized by sub-mucosal and/or sub-serous cysts of free gas, forming cystic lesions usually ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 cm in size within the gastrointestinal tract.
