Post-operative peritonitis due to anastomotic dehiscence after colonic resection. Multicentric experience, retrospective analysis of risk factors and review of the literature.

Introduction: Intraperitoneal sepsis due to anastomotic leakage significantly affects the outcomes of intestinal surgery. The aim of this retrospective review is to examine retrospectively general and local factors involved in anastomotic leakage and their prognostic value.

Materials And Methods: Between April 1998 and April 2008, 367 patients underwent elective (217=59%) or emergency (150=41%) primary colonic resection for benignan (77=21%) or malignant (290=79%) disease in our department.

[Eco-color-Doppler venous catheterization of internal jugular vein in obese patient].

Aim Of The Study: The Authors analyzed the results of 120 central venous catheterisms of internal jugular vein performed by eco-color-Doppler from January 2000 to December 2004 in obese patients candidated to bariatric surgery.

Results: As the considerable adiposity and post-operation necessities, this procedure has been very useful. The average performing time was 10 minutes, 95.

Dynamic suture less repair of incisional hernia.

Background And Aim Of The Study: An incisional hernia is represented by the escape of organs from their physiologic position through an area of weakness on the surgical scar. An original technique, based on a Rives intervention, which is the golden standard in the treatment of incisional hernias, is presented in this study.

Methods: From January 1995 to December 2003, 93 patients underwent surgery for incisional hernia in our Division.
