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
Background: Old age and frailty are predictors of early postoperative results after pancreatic surgery. We analysed the results of robotic and open pancreatoduodenectomy in elderly and frail patients.
Methods: Data from the local robotic pancreatoduodenectomy database were reviewed and matched with those from open operations during the same period (2014-2020).
Background: To investigate the role of Cumulative Cancer Length (CCL) and PCa positive core number (PCapcn) in random prostate biopsies as predictors of Adverse Pathology (AP) at definitive pathology.
Methods: We prospectively enrolled patients submitted to random ultrasound guided prostate biopsies for suspect PCa in our center since 2016. Inclusion criteria were PSA <20 ng/ml or >3 ng/ml and age<71 years.
Background: Low-risk prostate cancer (PCa) is currently managed also with active surveillance (AS). However, up to 40% of patients in AS may require radical treatment at a long-term follow-up. The aim of our study is to further investigate the role of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) density in AS.
