Ovarian metastasis from pancreatic ductal carcinoma.

A clinical case is presented about a rare presentation of pancreatic cancer. Firstly, pancreatic cancer rarely metastasizes to the ovary, and when it does, it usually presents in the form of peritoneal carcinomatosis and bilateral involvement. However, the initial radiological diagnosis was primary pancreatic carcinoma with a synchronous primary ovarian carcinoma.

Onyx®, A New Tool for Intraoperative Localization of Liver Lesions.

Background: Precise preoperative localization of liver tumors facilitates successful surgical procedures, Intraoperative ultrasonography is a sensitive imaging modality. However, the presence of small non-palpable isoechoic intraparenchymal lesions may be challenging intraoperatively.

Methodology And Material Description: Onyx® is a non-adhesive liquid agent comprised of ethylene-vinyl alcohol usually used dissolved in dimethyl-sulfoxide and suspended micronized tantalum powder to provide contrast for visualization under fluoroscopy and ultrasonography and a macroscopic black shape.

Diagnostic value of ascites immunohistochemistry in carcinomatosis of unknown origin.

We present the case of a patient diagnosed with carcinomatosis when admitted urgently for an occlusive condition. It is the immunohistochemistry that clarifies which is the primary tumor. Sigma neoplasia was initially suspected to recur due to operative findings.

A novel study, textbook outcome in adrenalectomy: retrospective observational study in an endocrine surgical unit.

Textbook outcome is a multidimensional quality management tool that uses a set of traditional surgical measures to reflect an "ideal" surgical result for a particular pathology. Retrospective study of all patients undergoing scheduled for adrenal tumors surgery at an endocrine surgery unit from January 2010-December 2022. The definition of Textbook Outcome were: R0 resection, no Clavien-Dindo ≥ IIIa complications, no prolonged stay (< P75), no readmissions, and no mortality in the first 30 days.

Multisocietal European consensus on the terminology, diagnosis, and management of patients with synchronous colorectal cancer and liver metastases: an E-AHPBA consensus in partnership with ESSO, ESCP, ESGAR, and CIRSE.

Background: Contemporary management of patients with synchronous colorectal cancer and liver metastases is complex. The aim of this project was to provide a practical framework for care of patients with synchronous colorectal cancer and liver metastases, with a focus on terminology, diagnosis, and management.

Methods: This project was a multiorganizational, multidisciplinary consensus.

Textbook outcome in colon carcinoma: implications for overall survival and disease-free survival.

Background: Textbook outcome (TO) is a multidimensional quality management tool that uses a set of traditional surgical measures to reflect an "ideal" surgical result for a particular pathology. The aim of the present study is to record the rate of TO in patients undergoing elective surgery for colon cancer (CC).

Material And Methods: Retrospective study of all patients undergoing scheduled CC surgery at a Spanish university hospital from September 2012 to August 2016.

Impact of percutaneous cholecystostomy in the management of acute cholecystitis: a retrospective cohort study at a tertiary center.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard for the treatment of acute cholecystitis (AC). Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) for management of AC is increasing; safe and less invasive than laparoscopic cholecystectomy and is very useful in selected patients with severe comorbidities, not suitable for surgery/general anesthesia. We conducted a retrospective observational study between 2016 and 2021 of patients treated with PC for AC, based on the application of the Tokyo guidelines 13/18.

Early postoperative complications after gastric bypass revisional surgery in patients with previous sleeve gastrectomy versus primary gastric bypass.

Background: Revisional bariatric surgery (RS) is indicated if there is weight regain or insufficient weight loss, no improvement or reappearance of co-morbidities, or previous bariatric surgery complications. It has been associated with higher postoperative morbidity.

Objective: To evaluate the early postoperative complications (<30 d) of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass RS (RYGB-RS) after primary sleeve gastrectomy (SG-1) compared with primary RYGB (RYGB-1) at a bariatric surgery referral center.

Heridas por asta de toro, análisis de 138 casos.

Objective: Bull-horn injuries (BHI) are unique and there is reduced published literature about it. We present an analysis of a 11-year BHI case series.

Method: Study of 138 cases developed during a 11-year period with hospitalization admission greater than 24 hours with diagnosis of BHI/contusion.

Gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor abscess.

A 70-year-old male with a large abscessed GIST is reported. Symptoms, laboratory results, diagnostic imaging and surgical field information are provided. It is a rare initial presentation of a GIST which we believe to be academically interesting.

Adenosquamous cancer of the pancreas: A multicenter retrospective study.

Introduction: Adenosquamous cancer of the pancreas (ASCP) is an aggressive, infrequent subtype of pancreatic cancer that combines a glandular and squamous component and is associated with poor survival.

Methods: Multicenter retrospective observational study carried out at three Spanish hospitals. The study period was: January 2010-August 2020.

[Parastomal hernia in Bricker urinary diversion as a reversible cause of obstructive uropathy: An exceptional complication.].

Parastomal hernia in patientswith ileal urinary diversion is insufficiently described in theliterature, and among its complications, the presence ofurinary obstruction is not usually reported. METHODS: We present a 74-year-old male with a Brickertype urinary diversion. He presented urinary infections withCT scan showing hydronephrosis with obstruction of theileal conduit probably related to a parastomal hernia.

Fast-Track Liver Transplantation: Six-year Prospective Cohort Study with an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocol.

Introduction: Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) has been shown to facilitate discharge, decrease length of stay, improve outcomes and reduce costs. We used this concept to design a comprehensive fast-track pathway (OR-to-discharge) before starting our liver transplant activity and then applied this protocol prospectively to every patient undergoing liver transplantation at our institution, monitoring the results periodically. We now report our first six years results.

Clinical Outcomes After Total Pancreatectomy: A Prospective Multicenter Pan-European Snapshot Study.

Objective: To assess outcomes among patients undergoing total pancreatectomy (TP) including predictors for complications and in-hospital mortality.

Background: Current studies on TP mostly originate from high-volume centers and span long time periods and therefore may not reflect daily practice.

Methods: This prospective pan-European snapshot study included patients who underwent elective (primary or completion) TP in 43 centers in 16 European countries (June 2018-June 2019).

Intrapancreatic accessory spleen versus a neuroendocrine pancreas tumor: a diagnostic challenge.

The intrapancreatic accessory spleen is a congenital entity whose differential diagnosis is mainly raised with neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas. Keeping in mind this unfrequent entity and careful interpretation of the imaging tests, especially magnetic resonance imaging, can give us the key to make a correct definitive diagnosis. Successful diagnosis is important in order to try to avoid diagnostic pancreatectomies that could carry out severe morbidity.

Radical surgery in hepatic hydatidosis: analysis of results in an endemic area.

Introduction: radical surgery in hepatic hydatidosis is associated with less morbidity and recurrence than conservative surgery.

Material And Methods: a retrospective observational study of patients with liver hydatid cyst surgery was performed. Seventy-one patients with 90 cysts were included between 2007 and 2017, and radical surgery was performed in 69.
