High cost of medical care provided to the patients with duodenal ulcers requires improvement of treatment organization. This study is aimed at pharmacoeconomic evaluation of the efficacy of treating patients with duodenal ulcers. Two groups of patients were made up for the investigation. The first group was made up of patients who had undergone an individual antisecretory therapy based on intragastric pH-monitoring. The other group was made up of patients undergoing standard treatment without using intragastric pH-monitoring. Upon the comparison of the results in both groups, it was revealed that the "cost of illness" and "cost-efficacy" turned out to be lower in the group of patients where intragastric pH-monitoring for selecting individual antisecretory therapy was used.

Background: Hiatal hernia (HH) is routinely reported in 40% of bariatric surgery patients. Left unrepaired, HH can lead to post-surgical reflux, regurgitation, and vomiting.
Objectives: We hypothesize that patients with pre-operative reflux symptoms and a higher body mass index (BMI) will receive hiatal hernia repairs (HHR) more often.

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an acute virus infection, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The Swiss government decreed a public lockdown to reduce and restrict further infections. The aim of this investigation was to analyze the impact of the first COVID-19 lockdown on the performance of general and visceral surgery procedures.

Superficial duodenal epithelial tumors were previously considered rare. Laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery for duodenal tumors (D-LECS) has been developed to achieve successful endoscopic treatment. Patients who have undergone living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) may have severe abdominal adhesions, and immunosuppressive agents (IAs) may affect the degree of postoperative abdominal adhesions and wound healing, but their effects remain unclear.

Introduction: Pyloromyotomy timing is predicated upon correction of electrolyte abnormalities. Among infants who presented with normal electrolytes, we hypothesized that pyloromyotomy the evening of presentation, rather than waiting until morning, would confer shorter length of stay (LOS).
Methods: This single-center retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent pyloromyotomy from 2012 to 2021.
