Combination of Live and Inactivated Vaccines to Protect Against Fowl Typhoid in Laying Hens.

Fowl typhoid (FT) caused by Gallinarum (SG) is a poultry disease distributed worldwide that has been eradicated in commercial production of many developed countries but still persists in many developing countries. Vaccination is one of the main strategies to reduce mortality, clinical signs, and vertical or horizontal transmission. The aim of this work was to assess the protection against FT conferred by vaccines based on Enteritidis (SE), SG, or a combination.

Classification of GIST and other benign gastric tumors based on minimally invasive surgical strategy.

Purpose: Gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors (GMTs) include malignant, intermediate malignancy, and benign lesions. The aim is to propose a new surgical classification to guide the intraoperative minimally invasive surgical strategy in case of non-malignant GMTs less than 5 cm.

Methods: Primary endpoint is the creation of a classification regarding minimally invasive surgical technique for these tumors based on their gastric location.

Gastrostomies: experience and complications with three modalities in a tertiary centre over a 26-year period.

Objectives: To describe the complications associated with the different gastrostomy techniques [endoscopic (PEG), radiologic (PRG), and surgical (SG)] performed in the last 26 years in a terciary hospital.

Methods: Retrospective observational study. Patients who underwent gastrostomy at the Virgen del Rocío University Hospital between 1995 and 2021 were included.

Intragastric endoscopic assisted single incision surgery for gastric leiomyoma of the esophagogastric junction.

Single port laparoscopic surgery is becoming an alternative to conventional laparoscopic surgery as a new approach where all the conventional ports are gathered in just one multichannel port through only one incision. Appling this technical development, we have developed a new technique based on an intragastric approach using a single port device assisted by endoscopy (I-EASI: intragastric endoscopic assisted single incision surgery) in order to remove benign gastric lesions and GIST tumors placed in the posterior wall of the stomach or close to the esophagogastric junction or the gastroduodenal junction. We present a patient with a submucosal gastric tumor placed near the esophagogastric junction removed with this new approach.

Single-port Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: toward a less invasive procedure with the same surgical results and a better cosmesis.

Background: The current tendency to use increasingly less aggressive procedures has facilitated the development of new minimally invasive techniques. In this context, single-port (SP) access procedures can become an alternative to the conventional laparoscopic approach.

Methods: A total of 22 morbidly obese patients were submitted to pure SP Roux-en-Y gastric bypass without additional ports.

Improving the advantages of single port in right hemicolectomy: analysis of the results of pure transumbilical approach with intracorporeal anastomosis.

Background. Single-port laparoscopic surgery has recently emerged as a method to improve patient recovery and cosmetic benefits of laparoscopic surgery. The evolution of our technique has led us to move from a periumbilical incision to a transumbilical one, avoiding the use of drain and maintaining a pure single-port approach with intracorporeal anastomosis in order to maintain the incision as smaller as possible.

Endoscopic surgeons' preferences for inguinal hernia repair: TEP, TAPP, or OPEN.

Introduction: The use of endoscopic inguinal hernia repair has slowly increased in the past years, but the indications have remained vague. Some surgeons perform a tailored approach depending on patient or hernia characteristics, whereas others perform the same approach and technique for all hernias.

Methods: Based on these principles, a survey of 19 questions was conducted during the 18th Congress of the European Association of Endoscopic Surgeons, which took place in Geneva, Switzerland, in 2010, to determine surgeons' preference depending on the hernia and the patient.

Magnetic-assisted single-port sleeve gastrectomy.

Background: Sleeve gastrectomy is a recent, purely restrictive procedure in bariatric surgery that has shown results similar to gastric bypass over the short and middle term. At the same time, single-port access surgery has fostered the development of new techniques and methods seeking better cosmetic results and less postoperative pain, while maintaining the satisfactory results obtained by the standard laparoscopic approach. One of the problems associated to single-access surgery is the lack of traction and the difficulties to retract the liver.

Systematic review of the use of fibrin sealant in abdominal-wall repair surgery.

Purpose: Our objective was to analyze the advantages and inconveniences associated with the use of fibrin sealant compared with mechanical means for mesh fixation following abdominal-wall surgery.

Methods: Literature search was conducted in MedLine, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library Plus databases. Articles were randomized clinical trials, nonrandomized comparative studies, and case series containing at least ten patients.

Total intracorporeal anastomosis during single-port laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for carcinoma of colon: a new step forward.

Background: Laparoscopic surgery is a feasible option for colonic carcinoma as short-and long-term results show. This technique is as safe and effective as the open approach. Single-port access surgery is considered a new minimally invasive approach in the search for better cosmetic results and less postoperative pain.

Sportsmen hernia: what do we know?

Athletes and other physically active people often suffer prolonged inguinal pain, which can become a serious debilitating condition and may place an athlete's career at risk. A sportsmen hernia is a controversial cause of this chronic groin pain, as it is difficult to be defined. From an anatomical point of view, the definition and the name of this entity should be reviewed.

[Role of malnutrition in intestinal anastomosis collagenization: an analysis of procollagen (PINP) and carboxyterminal telopeptide (ICTP) by radioimmunoassay].

Introduction: some clinical, anatomo-pathological, and technical factors influence the correct healing of intestinal suture following an intestinal resection. One of the most influential factors is patient nutritional status.

Objectives: to evaluate the influence of malnutrition on the viability of primary intestinal anastomosis by the analysis of collagen I deposition.

[Internet use to obtain health information among patients attending a digestive diseases office].

Introduction: The use of the Internet to gain health information has increased in Spain. This is changing the way patients access medical information and, in turn, the physician-patient relationship.

Objectives: To analyze the use of the Internet for medical purposes by patients attending a digestive diseases office and to determine the profile of patients seeking this information.

[Approach to the present state of proctology in Andalusia (Spain): results of a community survey].

Objective: Proctology has acquired such complexity that it requires a specific qualification, as well as the creation of specialized groups. In Andalusia there are proctologists throughout the public health system. Measurement of the quality of the distinct processes is essential.
