Aim: The modified retromuscular Sugarbaker or Pauli technique is a technique for parastomal hernia repair, which requires the dissection of the retromuscular space and a transversus abdominis release for stoma lateralization and placement of a retromuscular mesh. Given the limited evidence regarding the robotic approach to this technique, this study aims to evaluate the outcomes of this newly introduced procedure, focusing on the rate of 30-day complications and recurrence rates.
Methods: Retrospective case series report.
Introduction: Every year hundreds of medical residents choose their specialization in various surgical fields. However, these numbers have been poorly analyzed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the selection of General and Digestive Surgery by medical residents and compare these results with the selection of other surgical specialties.

The sandwich technique is a combination of the keyhole and Sugarbaker techniques, using a double intraperitoneal mesh. The objective of this study was to assess the outcomes of the sandwich technique, specifically focusing on recurrence rates.

Methods: Observational retrospective single institution study of all consecutive patients intervened for ventral or incisional hernia with a diameter inferior to 4 cm, from January 2013 to June 2020.
Introduction: the prevalence of hospital malnutrition is high and involves an increase in health care costs. Home hospitalization (HH) allows better clinically stable patient control after an acute illness by a highly specialized health care team.
Objective: to know the nutritional condition of home hospitalization patients using a computer application that allows the implementation of early nutritional measures at home and improves post-hospital control of these patients.
Introduction: Laparoscopic appendectomy is probably the technique of choice in acute appendicitis. Single port laparoscopic surgery (SILS) has been proposed as an alternative technique. The objective of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of SILS against conventional laparoscopic appendectomy (LA).
