Article Synopsis
- This study compares two surgical methods, Hartmann's procedure (HP) and resection with primary anastomosis (RPA), for treating acute left-sided colonic emergencies among 1215 patients from 204 centers globally.
- Results showed that while HP was the more common treatment (57.3%), RPA was favored for younger patients with fewer health issues and those needing surgery sooner.
- The study concluded that although HP is still widely used, RPA might be the better option, emphasizing the importance of patient characteristics and surgeon experience in determining treatment choice.
Article Synopsis
- The ChoCO-W study aimed to examine the effects of COVID-19 on the clinical presentation and outcomes of acute cholecystitis, particularly focusing on the rise of gangrenous cases during the pandemic.
- Over 2,800 patients from 42 countries were enrolled, with a notable 6.9% testing positive for COVID-19, revealing a significantly higher prevalence of preexisting conditions and more severe outcomes in this group compared to those without the virus.
- Patients with COVID-19 experienced higher postoperative complications (32.2% vs. 11.7%), longer hospital stays (13.21 days vs. 6.51 days), increased mortality rates (13.4% vs. 1.7
Cecal volvulus is a rare cause of large bowel obstruction. Surgical therapy depends on visceral circulatory conditions at diagnosis. Possible options include endoscopic decompression, detorsion, cecopexy with or without cecostomy, right colectomy with immediate or delayed anastomosis.

Methods: Ductal stones were present in 344 of 3212 patients (10.7%) who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).
Purpose: To report our experience with in situ laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of renal tumors.
Patients And Methods: From September 2000 to May 2002, two men, 81 and 71 years old, and one woman, 75 years old, were referred to our department for right renal clear-cell carcinoma <3.5-cm diameter.
