A case of vitello intestinal cyst was reported. A 16-month-old girl was referred to our clinic with a complaint of a cystic mass in the region of the navel. With a diagnosis of urachal cyst, resection of the cyst was performed. Histopathologically, the cyst wall consisted of fibrous and fat tissue, and a small polypoid tumor which was found on the inner surface of the cyst was covered by intestinal epithelia. Pancreatic and gastric mucosal elements were observed in the submucosal layer. The histopathological diagnosis was vitello intestinal cyst. Serum amylase level elevated preoperatively normalized after removal of the cyst. We collected 11 cases of vitello intestinal cyst reported in Japan including the present case. Ectopic pancreatic tissue is considered a characteristic of vitello intestinal cyst and that serum or fluid amylase level may be useful for differential diagnosis of the disease.

Background: A complete total mesorectal excision is the criterion standard in curative rectal cancer surgery. Ensuring quality is challenging in a narrow pelvis, and obesity amplifies technical difficulties. Pelvimetry is the measurement of pelvic dimensions, but its role in gauging preoperatively the difficulty of proctectomy is largely unexplored.

Article Synopsis
- * Recent European guidelines suggest using a mix of clinical, lab, and imaging techniques to track disease progression, emphasizing that traditional symptom-based methods aren't improving long-term outcomes.
- * The review introduces a comprehensive monitoring algorithm that incorporates both invasive and noninvasive methods, including bedside intestinal ultrasound (IUS) and video-capsule endoscopy, to enhance patient care.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease Unit, "Villa Sofia-Cervello" Hospital, Palermo, Italy.
Background And Aim: Postoperative recurrence (POR) following ileocolonic resection is a major concern in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). The role of ustekinumab (UST) in this setting is poorly known.
Methods: All consecutive CD patients with a baseline colonoscopy at 6-12 months from ileocolonic resection showing POR (Rutgeerts score ≥ i2) who were treated with UST after the baseline colonoscopy and with an available post-treatment endoscopy, were extracted from the cohort of the Sicilian Network for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (SN-IBD).
