Benefits of jejunostomy feeding in patients who underwent gastrectomy for cancer treatment.

Background: Gastric cancer is associated with significant undernutrition responsible for an increase in morbidity and mortality after gastrectomy.

Aim: To evaluate the impact of enteral nutrition by jejunostomy feeding in patients undergoing gastrectomy for cancer.

Methods: Between 2003 and 2017, all patients undergoing gastrectomy for cancer treatment were included retrospectively.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass after Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Failure: Could the Number of Previous Operations Influence the Outcome?

After a failed laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB), laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) has been proposed as revisional surgery. Those patients that receive a second restrictive procedure fall into a small subgroup of patients with more than one restrictive procedure (MRP). If also the second restrictive procedure fails, the correct surgical strategy is a challenge for the surgeon.

Total Gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y Limb Reconstruction for Complex and Chronic Fistulas After Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: Single-Center Experience.

Purpose: When a leak after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) becomes a chronic fistula, the best surgical treatment remains controversial. The aim of study was to review our experience concerning the treatment of chronic and complex fistulas after LSG.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients with a gastric fistula following LSG who were treated at our center between January 2013 and December 2018 was performed.

Conversion of sleeve gastrectomy to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease: results of a multicenter study.

Background: The main side effect of long-term laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is the onset of severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of gastric bypass conversion in controlling postsleeve GERD.

Setting: University Hospital and Private Hospital, France and Private Hospital, Italy.

Epicardial fat accumulation is an independent marker of impaired heart rate recovery in obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Background: Sympathetic nervous system activation plays a pivotal role in obese patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), contributing to increased cardiovascular risk. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) activates cardiac autonomic nervous system. Our main study objective was to investigate effects of these autonomic dysfunction factors on post-exercise heart rate recovery (HRR).

Correction to: Ileocolic intussusception due to a cecal endometriosis: Case report and review of literature.

After publication of this work [1], the authors noticed that the first names and last names of all the authors were inverted. In the original manuscript, they appear on PubMed as.

Two-step conversion surgery after failed laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding. Comparison between laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and laparoscopic gastric sleeve.

Background: Despite its worldwide popularity, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) requires revisional surgery for failures or complications, in 20-60% of cases. The purpose of this study was to compare in terms of efficacy and safety, the conversion of failed LAGB to laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. (LSG).

Use of a bioprosthetic mesh in complex hernia repair: early results from a French multicenter pilot study.

Background: Implantation of synthetic meshes for reinforcement of abdominal wall hernias can be complicated by mesh infection, which often requires mesh explantation. The risk of mesh infection is increased in a contaminated environment or in patients who have comorbidities such as diabetes or smoking. The use of biological prostheses has been advocated because of their ability to resist infection.

Hepatic endometrioma: a case report and review of the literature: report of a case.

Hepatic endometriosis has an extremely rare occurrence characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium in the liver. A diagnosis of hepatic endometriosis is established after surgery. A 51-year-old multiparous female was referred to our unit for investigation of a liver tumor.

Ileocolic intussusception due to a cecal endometriosis: case report and review of literature.

Unlabelled: Cecal endometriosis and ileocolic intussusception due to a cecal endometriosis is extremely rare. We report a case of a woman who presented an ileocecal intussusception due to a cecal endometriosis. The patient gave two months history of chronic periombilical pain requiring regular hospital admission and analgesia.

Prevalence of and risk factors for morbidity after elective left colectomy: cancer vs noncomplicated diverticular disease.

Hypothesis: Independent risk factors for postoperative morbidity after colectomy are most likely linked to disease characteristics.

Design: Retrospective analysis.

Setting: Twenty-eight centers of the French Federation for Surgical Research.

Major hepatectomy for the treatment of complex bile duct injury.

Background: Postcholecystectomy complex bile duct injuries involving the hilar confluence, which are often associated with vascular injuries and liver atrophy, remain a considerable surgical challenge. The aim of this study is to report our experience of major hepatectomy with long-term outcome in these patients.

Methods: From January 1987 to January 2002, 18 patients underwent a major hepatectomy for complex bile duct injuries.

[Cystic teratoma of the pancreas].

The preoperative diagnosis of cystic tumours of the pancreas can be difficult. It is usually based on morphological and biological (i.e.

Laparoscopic two-stage left colonic resection for patients with peritonitis caused by acute diverticulitis.

Purpose: Purulent or fecal peritonitis is one of the most serious complications of acute diverticulitis. Up to one-fourth of patients hospitalized for acute diverticulitis require an emergent operation for a complication, including abscess, peritonitis, or stenosis. Open Hartmann's procedure has been the operation of choice for these patients.
