Article Synopsis
- This study compares two surgical methods, Hartmann's procedure (HP) and resection with primary anastomosis (RPA), for treating acute left-sided colonic emergencies among 1215 patients from 204 centers globally.
- Results showed that while HP was the more common treatment (57.3%), RPA was favored for younger patients with fewer health issues and those needing surgery sooner.
- The study concluded that although HP is still widely used, RPA might be the better option, emphasizing the importance of patient characteristics and surgeon experience in determining treatment choice.
Background: Few studies have addressed the functional impact after transanal total mesorectal excision.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate function and health-related quality of life among patients with rectal cancer treated with transanal total mesorectal excision.
Design: Consecutive patients treated between 2016 and 2018 were selected.
Background And Objectives: Lymphatic mapping with indocyanine-green (ICG) and near-infrared light fluorescent imaging is widely used for sentinel lymph node staging in different types of cancer but is not fully accepted for all procedures because studies have reported heterogeneous results. This study aimed to assess the detection rate (DR) of ICG imaging for sentinel lymph node mapping (SLNM) and lymph node metastases (LNMs) in esophageal cancer.
Methods: A systematic search was performed to identify relevant studies examining the use of ICG imaging for SLNM in patients with esophageal cancer.
Background: We aimed to develop a grading system based on preoperative parameters that would predict surgical difficulty and morbidity in elective laparoscopic splenectomy.
Study Design: We retrospectively assessed morbidity in 439 patients who underwent laparoscopic splenectomy for benign and malignant disorders between 1993 and 2013. Medical and surgical records were reviewed and analyzed.
Introduction: Laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) is the preferred treatment of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) when medical treatment fails. The objective was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of LS according to the preoperative platelet count.
Methods: This study is a retrospective analysis of a series of 199 patients who underwent LS for ITP from 1993 to 2015.
Background: There is an extended belief that the laparoscopic approach to left colectomy (LC) is technically more demanding and associated with more postoperative complications than to right colectomy (RC). However, there is no consensus in the literature about whether the short-term outcomes of RC differ from those of LC. The aim of this paper was to compare the postoperative course of patients undergoing RC and LC.

This is due to the existence of specific training programs for each specialty. The current program, approved in 2007, has a detailed list of procedures that a surgeon should have performed in order to complete training.
