Based on the observation of 40 patients the authors consider that the greatest amount of postoperative complications in patients with gastric cancer make their appearance after reconstructive and palliative gastrectomies and combined operative interventions. Timely relaparotomy allowed saving 37.5% of the patients who had such complications as incompetence of anastomosis sutures, pancreanecrosis, peritonitis, intraabdominal abscesses. A retrospective analysis of causes of the complications allowed developing a prophylactic complex of measures which includes means of the operative technique and preparation of weakened organism of oncological patients to the foregoing operative trauma.

Reoperation for pancreatic fistula: a systematic review of completion pancreatectomy vs. pancreas-preserving-procedures and outcomes.
HPB (Oxford)
November 2024
Department of Surgical Oncology, I.R.C.C.S Istituto Tumori "Giovanni Paolo II", Viale Orazio Flacco 65, 70124, Bari, Italy.
Background: Consensus on the nomenclature and indications for reoperation for post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is lacking. This study explores the available literature to classify the different types of reoperations and report outcomes.
Methods: A systematic literature search was performed, including articles from 2010 to 2024 reporting reoperations for POPF after PD.
Early relaparotomy in recipients after living donor liver transplantation: causes, risk factors, and consequences.

Department of General Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, İnönü University, Malatya, Turkiye.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the reasons behind early relaparotomies in living donor liver transplant recipients within the first 30 days post-surgery, emphasizing the ongoing prevalence of complications despite improved surgical practices.* -
- Out of 535 patients analyzed between 2019 and 2021, 15.9% (85 patients) required early relaparotomy, with key factors like elevated creatinine and sodium levels, the use of left lobe grafts, and significant blood loss identified as independent risk factors.* -
- Major causes for needing early relaparotomy included postoperative bleeding, biliary leakage, and vascular issues, highlighting the complexities of post-transplant care and the importance of monitoring at-risk patients.*
Surgical Closure of Equine Abdomen, Prevention, and Management of Incisional Complications.
J Vis Exp
May 2024
Equine Surgery, Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Liège University.
Although rarely fatal, complications of ventral midline laparotomy incision in equine patients increase hospitalization cost and duration and may jeopardize return to athletic function. Therefore, many techniques have been developed to reduce their occurrence and expedite their resolution when they occur. Our technique of celiotomy incision closure includes the use of tension sutures (vertical U mattress) of polyglactin 910 on the linea alba, which is then apposed by polyglactin 910 interrupted sutures or a simple continuous pattern suture with a stop midway before routine closure of the superficial layers.

Introduction: Congenital causes of duodenal obstruction can be grouped into intrinsic and extrinsic causes. The degree of obstruction caused by such etiologies determines the severity and timing of symptom presentation. Early neonatal diagnosis is common in patients with etiologies that present with high degrees of obstruction such as atresia whereas etiologies that cause lesser degrees of obstruction such as malrotation and duodenal stenosis can go undiagnosed into adulthood.

June 2024
Department of General and HPB Surgery and Liver Transplantation, Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium.
Purpose: Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a well-known concept after trauma surgery or after major abdominal surgery in critically ill patients. However, ACS as a complication after complex hernia repair is considered rare and supporting literature is scarce. As complexity in abdominal wall repair increases, with the introduction of new tools and advanced techniques, ACS incidence might rise and should be carefully considered when dealing with complex abdominal wall hernias.
