Background/aims: Nowadays the risk of anastomotic dehiscence after gastrectomy still exists. So the aim of this study was to analyze our experience regarding these anastomoses.
Methodology: In our Surgical Unit, which is located in the Department of Surgical Sciences, Organ Transplantation and Advanced Technologies of the University of Catania, from January 1st 1985 to December 31st 2000, 249 patients underwent surgery for gastric cancer.
Results: We observed a statistically significant decrease of leaks in the third period of our study.
Conclusions: These data demonstrate a significant decrease of anastomotic leaks with stapler in comparison to manual anastomoses.

Introduction: As research advances in vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA), large animal models are essential for translational studies related to immune rejection and graft survival. However, procurement of large flaps can cause significant defects, complicating wound closure and increasing postoperative risks. This study details the surgical techniques and outcomes of autologous vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous (VRAM) flap transplantation and neck flap isolation with induced ischemia in a swine model.

Background: Over half of preterm neonates with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) require surgery, making it essential to understand short-term postoperative outcomes and complication rates. Therefore, this study aimed to provide an overview of 30-day postoperative complications for NEC. Secondary, risk factors for minor and major short-term postoperative complications were identified.

Background: Colorectal surgical procedures may benefit from a minimally invasive approach in children, although there are few studies.
Methods: A retrospective, single-centre observational study was conducted on paediatric patients who underwent colorectal robotic-assisted surgery between 2011 and 2022.
Results: A total of 50 patients (33 male; 17 female) were included, with a median age of 4.
Early enteral nutrition (EEN) following intestinal anastomosis in pediatric patients - what's new?

Department of Pediatric Surgery, University Hospital Mainz, Mainz, Germany.
Introduction: Abdominal surgery in children may disrupt normal gut function, necessitating prolonged fasting, which can lead to complications such as dehydration and nutritional deficits. Early enteral nutrition (EEN) after surgical procedures can enhance wound healing, prevent malnutrition, and expedite recovery. Although concerns exist regarding the risk of complications associated with EEN, current evidence suggests that it is not linked to increased perioperative complications.

This report details a 59-year-old female who underwent total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y esophagojejunostomy for early gastric cancer, followed by percutaneous embolization for esophagojejunal (EJ) anastomotic leakage. Despite initial percutaneous drainage for fluid accumulation at the EJ site, subsequent CT revealed significant anastomotic dehiscence.
