Article Synopsis
- This systematic review investigated various medications for preventing and treating pouchitis after restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA).
- The analysis included 15 randomized trials, revealing that probiotics significantly reduced the odds of pouchitis and had a similar side effect profile as placebo.
- Antibiotics, specifically ciprofloxacin and metronidazole, were found to be effective for treating active pouchitis, while other treatments like rifaximin and adalimumab showed no effectiveness.
Objective: To assess long-term outcomes of patients with perforated diverticulitis treated with resection or laparoscopic lavage (LL).
Background: Surgical treatment of perforated diverticulitis has changed in the last few decades. LL and increasing evidence that primary anastomosis (PRA) is feasible in certain patients have broadened surgical options.
Background: Anastomosis leak is one of the significant postoperative complications after colorectal surgery. The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize the evidence relative to the preoperative assessment of the colon and rectum blood supply and to investigate its role in predicting anastomosis leak.
Method: This systematic review was conducted according to the recommendations of the Cochrane Handbook for Reviews of Interventions and reported according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses.
Background: Anastomotic leak (AL) is a potentially life-threatening complication after low anterior resection (LAR). This meta-analysis aimed to compare outcomes of LAR with and without diverting stoma and to determine factors associated with AL in non-diverted patients.
Methods: This was a PRISMA-compliant systematic review of electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science).
Background: In the present study, patients with colorectal anastomoses that were assessed with indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography (FA) were compared to patients who had only white light visual inspection of their anastomosis. The impact of change in surgical plan guided by ICG-FA on anastomotic leak (AL) rates was assessed.
Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were queried for eligible studies.
Aim: Anismus is a common cause of obstructed defaecation syndrome (ODS). The aim of the present review is to assess the efficacy and safety of puborectalis muscle (PRM) division in the treatment of anismus.
Method: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library were searched for studies that assessed the outcome of PRM division in the treatment of anismus.
Background: The aim of this review is to provide consensus on the impact of antihuman leukocyte antigen (anti-HLA) de novo donor-specific antibodies (dnDSA) on pancreatic allograft loss.
Methods: We systematically searched electronic databases through August 2020 using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses methodology. Articles that provided or allowed estimation of the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for pancreatic allograft loss in patients with and without anti-HLA dnDSA were included.
Aim of doing this review was to give a uniform consensus on prognostic impact of tumor location (hepatic vs peritoneal), liver resection and adjuvant chemotherapy in gall bladder cancer and, to compare them with previous well-studied factors of survival. We systematically review PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane for relevant articles with no date restrictions, language was restricted to English. Those articles were included that had provided Hazard ratio (HR) of survival for T2 gall bladder cancer.

The present systematic review aimed to assess the literature for studies that compared the outcome of ileal-pouch anal anastomosis in patients with obesity versus patients with ideal weight.
Methods: A systematic literature search of electronic databases including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane library was performed and reported in line with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.
Background: The Karydakis procedure (KP) and Limberg flap (LF) are two commonly performed operations for pilonidal sinus disease (PND). The present meta-analysis aimed to review the outcome of randomized trials that compared KP and LF.
Methods: Electronic databases were searched in a systematic manner for randomized trials comparing KP and LF through July 2020.
Background: Non-operative management (NOM) of acute appendicitis has been assessed in several studies before COVID-19 pandemic. This systematic review aimed to assess the extent of adoption, efficacy, and safety of NOM of acute appendicitis in the setting of COVID-19.
Methods: This was a PRISMA-compliant systematic review of the literature.

Although offering intensive follow-up has been shown to be beneficial in the early detection, it can be resource consuming. Having a robust knowledge of risk factors of locoregional recurrence will help in identification of patients who actually need intensive follow-up programs.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAcute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a serious medical condition that can progress to transmural bowel necrosis. Prediction of the onset of bowel necrosis in AMI is crucial to justify surgical intervention before more severe consequences supervene. This systematic review aimed to identify the significant predictors of bowel necrosis in AMI in the current literature.

Severe cholecystitis correlates with higher morbidity and longer hospital stay. The present review aimed to identify the predictors of severe cholecystitis.

The present review aimed to investigate the pooled success and complication rates of ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract in the published literature and to explore the risk factors for failure after ligation of intersphincteric fistula tract.
Methods: A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-compliant literature search was conducted.
Background: We conducted a systematic review on the diagnostic accuracy of classical and newly reported hematological parameters which are easily available in a resource limited setting in making a diagnosis of Acute Mesenteric Ischemia (AMI).
Methods: We searched the PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane library from January 1940 to April 2018. The search was limited to studies published in English and those involving human subjects only.
