Аre Multivisceral Resections for Gastric Cancer Acceptable: Experience from a High Volume Center and Extended Literature Review?

 Multivisceral resections (MVRs) in gastric cancer are potentially curable in selected patients in whom clear resection margins are possible. However, there are still uncertain data on their feasibility and safety considering short- and long-term results. The study compares survival, morbidity, mortality, and other secondary outcomes between standard and MVRs for gastric cancer.

Venous Resections in Pancreatic Head Carcinoma - 15 Years Experience with Survival and Prognostic Factor Analysis.

We present a comparative analysis of survival, complications and major risk factors in patients who underwent surgery for pancreatic head carcinoma. This is a single-centre retrospective study aimed to evaluate clinical, surgical and pathoanatomical features of 467 patients who underwent radical surgery for pancreatic head carcinoma between September 2004 and October 2019. The series includes 88 patients (18.

Single-Centre Experience of Supra-Renal Vena Cava Resection and Reconstruction.

Background: Tumours involving the supra-renal segment of IVC have dismal prognosis if left untreated. Currently, aggressive surgical management is the only potentially curative treatment but is associated with relatively high morbidity and mortality. This study aims to evaluate perioperative factors, associated with adverse postoperative outcomes, based on the perioperative characteristics and type of IVC reconstruction.

Laparoscopic combined colorectal and liver resections for primary colorectal cancer with synchronous liver metastases.

Backgrounds/aims: Synchronous liver metastases (SLMs) are found in 15-25% of patients at the time of diagnosis with colorectal cancer, which is limited to the liver in 30% of patients. Surgical resection is the most effective and potentially curative therapy for metastatic colorectal carcinoma (CRC) of the liver. The comparison of simultaneous resection of primary CRC and synchronous liver metastases with staged resections is the subject of debate with respect to morbidity.

Complicated intra-abdominal infections in Europe: a comprehensive review of the CIAO study.

The CIAO Study ("Complicated Intra-Abdominal infection Observational" Study) is a multicenter investigation performed in 68 medical institutions throughout Europe over the course of a 6-month observational period (January-June 2012).Patients with either community-acquired or healthcare-associated complicated intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) were included in the study.2,152 patients with a mean age of 53.

Complicated intra-abdominal infections in Europe: preliminary data from the first three months of the CIAO Study.

The CIAO Study is a multicenter observational study currently underway in 66 European medical institutions over the course of a six-month study period (January-June 2012).This preliminary report overviews the findings of the first half of the study, which includes all data from the first three months of the six-month study period.Patients with either community-acquired or healthcare-associated complicated intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) were included in the study.

Resection and reconstruction of the inferior vena cava for neoplasms.

Aim: To evaluate the results of an aggressive surgical approach of resection and reconstruction of the inferior vena cava (IVC).

Methods: The approach to caval resection depends on the extent and location of tumor involvement. The supra- and infra-hepatic portion of the IVC was dissected and taped.

Surgical potentialities for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Background/aims: The incidence of pancreatic cancer is rising in all developed countries. The aim of this study is to define the surgical options in the treatment protocols for this disease and to evaluate the effect of radical resections.

Methodology: One hundred ninety six consecutive patients with pancreatic cancer, operated in our department in a 4-year period, were evaluated.

Rational surgical aggression in multimodal treatment of liver colorectal metastases.

Background/aims: The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of aggressive surgery regarding resection of liver metastases (LM) from colorectal cancer (CRC) on morbidity, mortality and survival rates and to establish utility of multimodal strategies increasing resectability rates of liver metastases.

Methodology: Two hundred twenty eight consecutive patients with CRC LMs operated from January 2004 to October 2009 were presented. They underwent 137 curative liver resections.

Successful emergency pancreatoduodenectomy in a non-trauma patient.

In the past decades considerable improvements in diagnostic imaging procedures, surgical technique and perioperative intensive care treatment have lead to a significant decrease in perioperative mortality and morbidity after pancreatic resection. This lead to an expansion of the indications for pancreatoduodenectomy. Little data exist in the literature on emergency pancreatoduodenectomy in non-trauma patients.
