Benefit of a flash dose of corticosteroids in digestive surgical oncology: a multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled trial (CORTIFRENCH).

Background: The modulation of perioperative inflammation seems crucial to improve postoperative morbidity and cancer-related outcomes in patients undergoing oncological surgery. Data from the literature suggest that perioperative corticosteroids decrease inflammatory markers and might be associated with fewer complications in esophageal, liver, pancreatic and colorectal surgery. Their benefit on cancer-related outcomes has not been assessed.

Endoscopic Management of Bariatric Surgery Complications According to a Standardized Algorithm.

Background And Aims: Endoscopy is effective in management of bariatric surgery (BS) adverse events (AEs) but a comprehensive evaluation of long-term results is lacking. Our aim is to assess the effectiveness of a standardized algorithm for the treatment of BS-AE.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1020 consecutive patients treated in our center from 2012 to 2020, collecting data on demographics, type of BS, complications, and endoscopic treatment.

Endoscopic internal drainage for the management of leak, fistula, and collection after sleeve gastrectomy: our experience in 617 consecutive patients.

Background: Endoscopy plays a pivotal role in the management of adverse events (AE) following bariatric surgery. Leaks, fistulae, and post-operative collection after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) may occur in up to 10% of cases.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of endoscopic internal drainage (EID) for the management of leak, fistula, and collection following SG.

Submucosal Tunnel Endoscopic Resection of Gastric Lesion Before Obesity Surgery: a Case Series.

Background: Submucosal tumors (SMTs) of the gastrointestinal tract are a rare pathological entity comprising a wide variety of neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions. Even if most SMTs are benign tumors (e.g.

Conventional Laparoscopic Appendectomy Versus Single-Port Laparoscopic Appendectomy, a Multicenter Randomized Control Trial: A Feasible and Safe Alternative to Standard Laparoscopy.

Acute appendicitis represents one of the main causes of surgical emergencies. It can be approached as open appendectomy or laparoscopic appendectomy (LA). LA uses different modalities, such as conventional laparoscopic appendectomy (CLA) or single-port laparoscopic appendectomy (SPLA).

Validation of the "Good2Go": the first French-language transition readiness questionnaire.

The use of transition readiness questionnaires is strongly recommended in adolescents with chronic conditions. The aim of our study was to validate "Good2Go," the first French-language transition readiness questionnaire. We analyzed the data from 2 multicentric studies (Canada and France) involving adolescents with chronic conditions (type 1 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, cystic fibrosis, epilepsy, juvenile idiopathic arthritis).

Laparoscopic revisional hepaticojejunostomy for biliary stricture after open repair following common bile duct injury: a case report.

Introduction: Incidence of bile duct injury has been reported more frequently following laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Case Report: A 43-year-old female with a past medical history of laparoscopic cholecystectomy that was converted to open because of a common bile duct injury now presents with a stenosis at the hepaticojejunostomy that is causing recurrent cholangitis episodes. After the lysis of adhesions and dissection of the anastomotic area, a stricture was identified.

Mortality after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding: results from an anonymous questionnaire to ASBS members.

Background: Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) approved 6 years ago by the Federal Drug Administration is considered a safe and simple procedure for weight loss with a reported low mortality rate (0.05%) in the literature. The aim of the study was to probe the membership of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery (ASBS) to elucidate the incidence and possible causes of unreported operative and late mortality.

Laparoscopic splenectomy for massive splenomegaly: technical aspects of initial ligation of splenic artery and extraction without hand-assisted technique.

A 37-year-old man was referred for massive splenomegaly. In November 2005, he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma in the setting of splenomegaly and thrombocytopenia. His laboratory results showed a coagulopathy owing to lupus anticoagulant.
