Laparoscopic Banded One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass: A Single-Center Series.

Introduction: Laparoscopic one anastomosis gastric bypass (LOAGB) is a relatively new procedure for the treatment of morbid obesity and related comorbidities. On average, this procedure results in good postoperative weight loss with a low complication rate. Recent publications suggest that dumping syndrome and weight regain might be reduced by placing a silicone ring over the gastric pouch during the procedure, so called laparoscopic banded one anastomosis gastric bypass (LBOAGB).

Colonic Lipoma Causing Bowel Intussusception: An Up-to-Date Systematic Review.

Background: Colonic lipomas are rare and can sometimes cause intussusception. The aim of this review was to define the presentation and possible management for colocolic intussusception caused by colonic lipomas.

Methods: A systematic search for patients with colocolic intussusception caused by colonic lipoma, including all available reports up to 2021.

Management of Low Rectal Cancer Complicating Ulcerative Colitis: Proposal of a Treatment Algorithm.

Low rectal Carcinoma arising at the background of Ulcerative Colitis poses significant management challenges to the clinicians. The complex decision-making requires discussion at the multidisciplinary team meeting. The published literature is scarce, and there are significant variations in the management of such patients.

Impact of surgery on quality of life in Crohn's disease: short- and mid-term follow-up.

Active Crohn's disease has a substantial impact on Quality of Life (QoL). Medical management could be associated to side effects, hospitalization, long treatment period and requires patient's compliance, impacting QoL. Ileocecal resection (ICR) is often required, open or laparoscopic.

Adenosquamous carcinoma of the right colon with diffuse signet-ring mucinous component.

Colorectal carcinoma is one of the most frequent human malignant neoplasms. Besides the most common histological types, colorectal adenosquamous carcinoma is very rare, being microscopically constituted by tumoural glandular and squamous components. The diagnosis of primary colon adenosquamous carcinoma requires the exclusion of a metastatic squamous cell carcinoma and the extension of a primary squamous cell carcinoma from the anal-rectum junction.

Detection methods and clinical significance of free peritoneal tumor cells found during colorectal cancer surgery.

Peritoneal washing is now part of the standard clinical practice in several abdominal and pelvic neoplasias. However, in colorectal cancer surgery, intra-peritoneal free cancer cells (IFCC) presence is not routinely investigated and their prognostic meaning is still unclear. When peritoneal washing results are positive for the presence of IFCC a worse outcome is usually expected in these colorectal cancer operated patients, but it what is not clear is whether it is associated with an increased risk of local recurrence.
