Prognostic significance of socioeconomic deprivation in patients with colorectal liver metastasis undergoing liver resection: a retrospective cohort study.

Aims: To evaluate the effect of socioeconomic deprivation on overall survival (OS) in patients undergoing liver resection for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM).

Methods: The STROCSS guideline for observational studies was followed to conduct a single-centre retrospective cohort study. All consecutive patients undergoing resection of CRLM between 2013 and 2021 were considered eligible for inclusion.

Development and Validation of HAS (Hajibandeh Index, ASA Status, Sarcopenia) - A Novel Model for Predicting Mortality After Emergency Laparotomy.

Objectives: To develop and validate a predictive model to predict the risk of postoperative mortality after emergency laparotomy taking into account the following variables: age, age ≥ 80, ASA status, clinical frailty score, sarcopenia, Hajibandeh Index (HI), bowel resection, and intraperitoneal contamination.

Summary Background Data: The discriminative powers of the currently available predictive tools range between adequate and strong; none has demonstrated excellent discrimination yet.

Methods: The TRIPOD and STROCSS statement standards were followed to protocol and conduct a retrospective cohort study of adult patients who underwent emergency laparotomy due to non-traumatic acute abdominal pathology between 2017 and 2022.

The risk of hepatic pseudoaneurysm after liver trauma in relation to the severity of liver injury: a meta-analysis and meta-regression analysis.

Aim: To determine the risk of hepatic pseudoaneurysm after liver trauma in relation to the severity of liver injury.

Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis in compliance with PRISMA statement standards (Registration Number: CRD42022328834). A search of electronic information sources was conducted to identify all studies reporting the risk of hepatic pseudoaneurysm after liver trauma.

Cohort study of long-term survival and recurrence patterns following operative management of colorectal liver metastasis - is follow-up beyond 5 years warranted?

Aims: To evaluate the patterns of overall survival (OS) and recurrence following surgical resection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM).

Methods: In compliance with STROCSS guideline, a single-centre retrospective cohort study was conducted. All consecutive patients undergoing resection of CRLM between 2003 and 2019 were considered eligible for inclusion.

Meta-Analysis and Meta-Regression of Risk Factors for Surgical Site Infections in Hepatic and Pancreatic Resection.

Background: The risk factors for surgical site infection (SSI) after HPB surgery are poorly defined. This meta-analysis aimed to quantify the SSI rates and risk factors for SSI after pancreas and liver resection.

Methods: The PUBMED, MEDLINE and EMBASE databases were systematically searched using the PRISMA framework.

Common hepatic artery quadrifurcation associated with right hepatic artery from superior mesenteric artery during laparoscopic total splenopancreasectomy.

Unlabelled: Hepatobiliopancreatic surgery is challenging becouse of the complexity of resections and reconstructions and variability of vascular anatomy. The arterial vascularization of the liver is susteined by the common hepatic artery (CHA) that originates from the celiac trunk (CT). The CHA bifurcates into the gastroduodenal artery (GDA) and proper hepatic artery (PHA) 0.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and left adrenalectomy with supragastric approach.

A female patient, 48-year-old, with morbid obesity (body mass index 42.5 kg/m2) complicated by hypertension, T2DM, and severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome was candidated to bariatric surgery. During the preoperative work-up, an abdominal ultrasonography and an RMN showed an incidental left adrenal tumor with a diameter of 11 cm.

Initial experience with laparoscopic crural closure in the management of hiatal hernia in obese patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy.

Background: The prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and/or hiatal hernia (HH) is significantly increased in morbidly obese patients. Laparoscopic bariatric procedures such as gastric banding (LGB) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass have been shown to improve both obesity and reflux symptoms. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and hiatal hernia repair (HHR) for the treatment of obesity complicated by HH.

Early postoperative insulin-resistance changes after sleeve gastrectomy.

Introduction: Biliopancreatic diversion and gastric bypass are associated with a rapid improvement in insulin resistance few days after surgery. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term effects in insulin resistance following sleeve gastrectomy (SG).

Materials And Methods: Between December 2007 and September 2008, 17 consecutive obese type 2 diabetes mellitus patients (three men, mean age 51.
