Article Synopsis
- Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a severe and rare soft tissue infection that can be life-threatening, as highlighted in a case involving a 76-year-old male with colorectal cancer.
- The patient exhibited rapid onset of septic shock along with skin necrosis and inflammation, ultimately traced back to a perforated sigmoid colon.
- The case underscores the importance of identifying diverse symptoms of NF and its link to serious abdominal conditions for timely treatment and better patient survival.
Purpose: Intestinal ischemia (II) is the most critical factor to determine in patients with incarcerated groin hernia (IGH) because II could be reversible, and it is considered as a "time sensitive condition." Although predictive factors of II were identified in several previous studies, preoperative diagnosis of II cannot be reliably made or excluded by any known parameter. The aims of this study were: to devise and to validate a clinic-biologic score, with a strong discriminatory power, for predicting the risk of II in patients with IGH.

- * The study included seven studies with a total of 506 patients, finding that HALS significantly reduced blood loss, pain, and hospital stay compared to OS, while showing no difference in post-operative complications.
- * The conclusion suggests that HALS is an effective option for right colectomy, offering the benefits of traditional surgery with a less invasive approach.
Daughter cyst sign is one of the most characteristic imaging findings of liver hydatid cysts. It is schematically divided into two types according to the daughter cyst localization in regard to the hydatid cyst wall: endogenous daughter cysts and exogenous daughter cysts. The endogenous daughter cyst is presented by a small cyst that protrudes into the lumen of the cystic mass.

Recurrence can be attributed to patients related factors or influenced by the surgical technique. Furthermore, treating recurrence can be challenging with the risk ratio of developing a second recurrence equal to 2,7.

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare intraoperative, postoperative, and oncological outcomes after LCME and open total mesocolon excision (OCME) for right-sided colonic cancers.
Methods: Literature searches of electronic databases and manual searches up to January 31, 2019, were performed.
In case of situs inversus (SI), laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is challenging. This systematic review aimed to assess the appropriate technique for LC in SI. An electronic search was carried out using the following keywords: "Situs inversus" and "Laparoscopic cholecystectomy".

Methods: A database research in Medline, Embase, Cochrane and Google Scholar during the period between January 2009 to December 2018 was performed.
Background: Patients with malignant obstructive jaundice should undergo surgery on the basis of results of preoperative imaging. However, about half of patients are found to be unsuitable forresection during surgical exploration. Our study aimed to determine the clinicobiologicalcharacteristics that predict the resecability of ampullary and periampullary tumors.
