C-Reactive Protein Values After Colorectal Resection: Can We Discharge a Patient With a C-Reactive Protein Value >100? A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: C-reactive protein is a useful negative predictive test for the development of anastomotic leakage following colorectal surgery. Evolution of procedures (laparoscopy, enhanced recovery program, early discharge, complex redo surgery) may influence C-reactive protein values; however, this is poorly studied to date.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate C-reactive protein as an indicator of postoperative complication and as a predictor for discharge.

Prevention of serious skeletal-related events by interventional radiology techniques in patients with malignant paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma.

Purpose: Bone metastases (BM) and skeletal-related events (SRE) are frequent in patients with malignant pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPM) and the best modality of prevention unknown. The role of interventional radiology (IR) techniques for the prevention of SRE in the multidisciplinary management of malignant PPM has not been evaluated in that setting.

Methods: Single referral center retrospective review of all patients with malignant PPM with BM from 2000 to 2016.

Two-stage hepatectomy versus 1-stage resection combined with radiofrequency for bilobar colorectal metastases: a case-matched analysis of surgical and oncological outcomes.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the long-term results of 2 surgical strategies for patients with bilobar colorectal liver metastases (bCRLM).

Background: Two-stage hepatectomy is the surgical strategy mostly chosen for treating extensive BCLM with the pitfall of dropout after the first stage. One-stage strategy combining limited resections and radiofrequency ablation could be proposed as an option in this population.
