Management of a complex cholecystocutaneous fistula with laparoscopic retrieval of gallstones embedded in the abdominal wall.

Cholecystocutaneous fistula is a rare surgical entity caused by an abnormal connection between the gallbladder epithelium and the skin. These complex cases have historically required an open surgical approach and are difficult to manage. We present a rare case of a 65-year-old male patient, with chronic lithiasic cholecystitis and cholecystocutaneous fistula.

Bariatric Surgeon Perspective on Revisional Bariatric Surgery (RBS) for Weight Recurrence.

Background: Weight recurrence (WR) after bariatric surgery occurs in nearly 20% of patients. Revisional bariatric surgery (RBS) may benefit this population but remains controversial among surgeons.

Objectives: Explore surgeon perspectives and practices for patients with WR after primary bariatric surgery (PBS).

Factors associated with weight regain post-bariatric surgery: a systematic review.

Introduction: To systematically review the literature to assess the incidence and risk factors of weight regain (WR) after bariatric surgery. Bariatric surgery is the most effective intervention for sustained weight loss of morbidly obese patients, but WR remains a concern.

Materials And Methods: A PRISMA compliant systematic literature review was performed using the PubMed database, Embase and the Cochrane Library in July of 2019.

Patients undergoing surgery for oligometastatic oesophageal cancer survive for more than 2 years: bootstrapping systematic review data.

Objectives: Oesophageal cancer oligometastasis is a state of limited systemic disease characterized by ˂5 metastases. Without surgery average survival is 4-12 months. We sought to estimate patient prognosis following the surgical resection of oligometastatic disease from oesophageal cancer.

The 100 most cited manuscripts in esophageal motility disorders: a bibliometric analysis.

Background: The use of bibliometrics can help us identify the most impactful articles on a topic or scientific discipline and their influence on clinical practice. We aimed to identify the 100 most cited articles covering esophageal motility disorders and examine their key characteristics.

Methods: The Web of Science database was utilized to perform the search, using predefined search terms.

Adenosquamous Carcinoma of the Esophagus: A Literature Review.

Adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) of the esophagus is an uncommon type of esophageal cancer that contains both adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma elements. Data on this biologically unique type of cancer are limited and mainly stem from case reports and small case series. We performed an audit of the available literature and synthesized a review on the epidemiology, pathogenesis, histopathology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of ASCs.
