Comparison of surgical management and outcomes of acute right colic and sigmoid diverticulitis: a French national retrospective cohort study.

Background: Acute right colic diverticulitis (ARD) is less frequent in Western countries than acute sigmoid diverticulitis (ASD). We aimed to compare the management of ARD and ASD operated on in emergency.

Methods: All consecutive patients who had emergency surgery for ASD and ARD (2010-2021) were included in a retrospective, multicenter, cohort study.

Stenosis of the colorectal anastomosis after surgery for diverticulitis: A national retrospective cohort study.

Aim: The aim of this work was to investigate the association between early postoperative anastomotic leakage or pelvic abscess (AL/PA) and symptomatic anastomotic stenosis (SAS) in patients after surgery for left colonic diverticulitis.

Method: This is a retrospective study based on a national cohort of diverticulitis surgery patients carried out by the Association Française de Chirurgie. The assessment was performed using path analyses.

Comparison between total weight loss and other metrics after bariatric surgery using a multilevel mixed-effects linear regression model.

Background: Several tools are used to assess postoperative weight loss after bariatric surgery, including the percentage of excess body weight loss (%EWL), percentage of total weight loss (%TWL), and percentage of excess body mass index (BMI) loss (%EBMIL). A repeated series of measurements should be considered to assess weight loss as accurately as possible. This study aimed to test weight loss metrics.

Risk factors for emergency surgery for diverticulitis: A retrospective multicentric French study at 41 hospitals.

Background: The observed increase in the incidence of complicated diverticulitis may lead to the performance of more emergency surgeries. This study aimed to assess the rate and risk factors of emergency surgery for sigmoid diverticulitis.

Method: The primary outcomes were the rate of emergency surgery for sigmoid diverticulitis and its associated risk factors.

Risk factors for severe morbidity and definitive stoma after elective surgery for sigmoid diverticulitis: a multicenter national cohort study.

Background: In the decision to perform elective surgery, it is of great interest to have data about the outcomes of surgery to individualize patients who could safely undergo sigmoid resection. The aim of this study was to provide information on the outcomes of elective sigmoid resection for sigmoid diverticular disease (SDD) at a national level.

Methods: All consecutive patients who had elective surgery for SDD (2010-2021) were included in this retrospective, multicenter, cohort study.

Impact of the first wave of COVID-19 epidemy on the surgical management of sigmoid diverticular disease in France: National French retrospective study.

Objective: To analyze the surgical management of sigmoid diverticular disease (SDD) before, during, and after the first containment rules (CR) for the first wave of COVID-19.

Methods: From the French Surgical Association multicenter series, this study included all patients operated on between January 2018 and September 2021. Three groups were compared: A (before CR period: 01/01/18-03/16/20), B (CR period: 03/17/20-05/03/20), and C (post CR period: 05/04/20-09/30/21).

Influence of Hemorrhagic Complications of Pancreatoduodenectomy in Patients with Cancer on Short- and Long-Term Mortality.

Background: With a mortality rate of up to 30%, post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) remains a serious complication after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for cancer. Little is known about the long-term survival of patients after PPH. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the impact of PPH on long-term survival after PD.

Comparison of alternative arterial anastomosis site during liver transplantation when the recipient's hepatic artery is unusable.

Background: Few studies have analyzed outcomes of liver transplantation (LT) when the recipient hepatic artery (HA) was not usable.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the outcomes of LT performed using the different alternative sites to HA.

Results: Between 2002 and 2017, 1,677 LT were performed in our institution among which 141 (8.

Focus on the use of maxillomandibular fixation in mandibular fracture oseosynthesis.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of three methods of isolated mandibular fracture intraoperative reduction.

Materials And Methods: This 6-year retrospective study included patients with isolated extra-articular mandibular fractures who would benefit from osteosynthesis. The endpoint was postoperative occlusion according to the type of intraoperative immobilization: screws, arch, or manual reduction.

Same Chance of Accessing Resection? Impact of Socioeconomic Status on Resection Rates Among Patients with Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma-A Systematic Review.

The incidence of pancreatic cancer is growing and the survival rate remains one of the worst in oncology. Surgical resection is currently a crucial curative option for pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA). Socioeconomic factors could influence access to surgery.

What to Propose After Failed Adjustable Gastric Banding: One- or Two-step Procedure?

Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or sleeve gastrectomy (SG) can be proposed in case of failed laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB). The main question is whether the revisional procedure is carried out in one or two stages.

Objective: Postoperative outcomes between the one-step approach and the two-step approach of conversion of failed LAGB to RYGB or SG were, respectively, compared.

Digestive and genitourinary sequelae in rectal cancer survivors and their impact on health-related quality of life: Outcome of a high-resolution population-based study.

Background: With the rising number of rectal cancer survivors, more patients with sphincter-preserving surgery are having to live with a potentially impaired quality of life. The survey aimed to assess bowel and genitourinary sequelae and their impact on quality of life in an unselected registry-based population of rectal cancer survivors.

Methods: This cross-sectional cohort survey (registered at ClinicalTrials.

Influence of social deprivation and remoteness on the likelihood of sphincter amputation for rectal cancer: a high-resolution population-based study.

Background: Medical care in rectal cancer is subject to social inequality. According to the last French guidelines, a 1-cm distal margin below the lower pole of the rectal tumor is now considered sufficient. This extends the limits of the current sphincter preservation gold standard.

Has adherence to treatment guidelines for mid/low rectal cancer affected the management of patients? A monocentric study of 604 consecutive patients.

Introduction: In 2006 under the supervision of the French health authorities (HAS), recommendations for clinical practice (RCP) in the management of rectal cancers were first published. The primary objective of this study was to assess the impact of these guidelines on multidisciplinary management in terms of therapeutic strategies based on disease staging and quality indicators for surgical excision. Secondarily, we assessed the impact of the RCPs on postoperative and oncological outcomes.

Impact of socioeconomic status on survival in patients with ovarian cancer.

Objective: Socioeconomic status may impact survival in cancer patients. This study assessed whether low socioeconomic status has an impact on survival in patients with ovarian cancer and investigated whether differences in survival may be explained by type of therapy received.

Methods: The study population comprised 318 patients with ovarian cancer diagnosed between 2011 and 2015 in the François Baclesse regional cancer care center in Caen, North-West France.

Socioeconomic status impacts survival and access to resection in pancreatic adenocarcinoma: A high-resolution population-based cancer registry study.

Background: Survival of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) is very poor. Resection status is highly associated with prognosis but only 15%-20% are resectable. The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of socioeconomic deprivation on PA survival and to define which management steps are affected.
