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.

Background: The use of the laparoscopic approach for the treatment of carcinomatosis from epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the short-term outcomes of both laparoscopic and open approach for interval CRS+HIPEC in a matched cohort of patients with advanced EOC.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database including 254 patients treated with interval CRS-HIPEC between January 2016 and December 2021 was performed.
Purpose: The benefits of the minimally invasive approach for performing cytoreductive surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (L-CRS + HIPEC) have been described previously, associating an early recovery with similar oncologic outcomes in patients with limited peritoneal carcinomatosis. Currently, no studies are focusing on the learning curve for this emerging procedure. This study aimed to evaluate the L-CRS + HIPEC learning curve and its knock-on effect on the perioperative outcomes.

Objectives: To evaluate metabolic changes associated with this procedure. Understanding perioperative factors and their association with morbidity may improve the perioperative management of patients undergoing this treatment.
Background: Simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation is the treatment of choice in patients with type 1 diabetes and end-stage renal disease, because it improves survival and quality of life. Currently, enteric exocrine drainage is the most commonly used method. Intestinal complications continue to be a major cause of posttransplant morbidity despite improvements in surgical technique.

- Recent research indicates a potential link between donor-recipient sex mismatch and graft loss in organ transplantation, but the influence is not fully understood.
- A study analyzed 199 patients who underwent simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplants, showing high overall survival rates (93.5% at 5 years) regardless of sex match.
- The findings suggest that sex mismatch between donor and recipient does not significantly affect patient survival or graft outcomes, with no major differences in postoperative complications or rejection rates.
Introduction: The aim of this study is to identify factors associated to recurrence and survival in primary retroperitoneal liposarcomas.
Methods: Prospective database of 35 patients with primary retroperitoneal liposarcoma treated 2004-2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Exclusion criteria were recurrent and metastatic tumors.
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors located in the alimentary tract. Its usual manifestation is gastrointestinal bleeding. However, small asymptomatic lesions are frequently detected as incidental finding.
