Background: Restoration of bowel continuity after left extended colectomy may be challenging because the remaining colon may not reach the rectal stump without tension to perform a safe anastomosis. Performing a total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis (IRA) is an option, but the quality of life can be significantly impaired due to loose stools and an increase in bowel frequency. In contrast, the preservation of the right colon and ileocaecal valve in the Deloyers procedure (DP) might ensure a better stool consistency and bowel transit, and therefore a superior quality of life.

- Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard treatment for gallbladder disease, but difficult dissections can lead to conversion to open surgery, raising risks for patients.
- A study analyzed 321 patients with acute cholecystitis to identify factors that predict conversion to open surgery, using logistic regression for their data.
- Key risk factors included older age, being male, and gallbladder wall thickness, with a final model showing a sensitivity of 84% for predicting conversion, aiding in better patient care and surgical planning.
Surgical technique videos are an important part of surgical fellows' education. YouTube has been identified as the preferred source of educational videos among trainees The aim of this article is to objectively evaluate the quality of the 50 most viewed videos on YouTube concerning right laparoscopic hemicolectomy using LAParoscopic surgery Video Educational GuidelineS (LAP-VEGaS). We hypothesized that the number of likes or views will not necessarily reciprocate with the educational content.
