Background: There are limited data about the perioperative outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients that needed emergency general surgery. The aim of the present study was to describe the perioperative outcomes and mortality of patients with COVID-19 who underwent emergency surgery.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective study of COVID-19 patients symptomatic versus asymptomatic from March 2020 to February 2022 that needed an emergency surgery in a national referral hospital.
Background: Research concerning postoperative outcomes of confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients revealed unfavorable postoperative results with increased morbidity, pulmonary complications and mortality. Case reports have suggested that COVID-19 is associated with more aggressive presentation of acute cholecystitis. The aim of the present study is to describe the perioperative assessment and postoperative outcomes of ten patients with confirmed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection with concomitant acute cholecystitis who underwent cholecystectomy.

Objective: To study the frequency of stump leaks and fistulae in patients with complicated appendicitis with compromised stump.
Method: This is an observational, retrospective study of patients that underwent laparoscopic appendectomy with compromised appendix stump.
Purpose: Previous studies have shown an association of sarcopenia with adverse short- and long-term outcomes in multiple gastrointestinal cancer types. We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of sarcopenia on the postoperative outcomes and survival rates of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).
Methods: A systematic literature search was performed using the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases.
