Guidelines on the diagnosis, treatment and management of visceral and renal arteries aneurysms: a joint assessment by the Italian Societies of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery (SICVE) and Medical and Interventional Radiology (SIRM).

The objective of these Guidelines is to provide recommendations for the classification, indication, treatment and management of patients suffering from aneurysmal pathology of the visceral and renal arteries. The methodology applied was the GRADE-SIGN version, and followed the instructions of the AGREE quality of reporting checklist. Clinical questions, structured according to the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome) model, were formulated, and systematic literature reviews were carried out according to them.

Twenty-Five Year Multicentre Experience of Explantation of Infected Abdominal Aortic Endografts.

We report a multicenter experience of open conversions (OC) for aortic endograft infections (AEI). We retrospectively analyzed all patients who underwent OC for AEI after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), from 1997 to 2021 in 12 Italian centers. The endpoints were as follows: mortality (30-days, in-hospital), major postoperative complications.

Pain control in laparoscopic surgery: a case-control study between transversus abdominis plane-block and trocar-site anesthesia.

Local anesthesia in laparoscopic operations is gaining increasing consensus. To standardize analgesia, a prospective case-control study was created over a 1-year period, in collaboration with the anesthesiology service in our community hospital. Starting from February 2016, we prospectively enrolled adult patients (more than 16 years old) undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy or cholecystectomy, either in emergency or elective setting.
