Left-sided colon pathology that needs to be treated in an emergency situation usually requires a partial colectomy and colostomy with a Hartmann's pouch. Primary anastomosis is avoided with an unprepped left colon due to the risk of post-operative anastomotic leakage. In this series, 10 patients were treated with on-table lavage to wash out the colon, and left colectomy with primary anastomosis in urgent and emergent situations without a protective ileostomy (the Dudley colectomy). All patients acutely recovered and none had an anastomotic leak. There was a single superficial wound infection, and a single late mortality due to heart failure. On-table colonic lavage and left colectomy with primary anastomosis without a protective ileostomy is a safe and effective way to treat left-sided colon emergencies without a protective ileostomy.

Surgical management of atrioesophageal fistula after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation: A French nationwide study.
JTCVS Open
December 2024
Department of Thoracic and Endocrine Surgery, Centre Jean Perrin, Clermont-Ferrand, France.
Objective: The study objective was to assess the efficacity of different surgical strategies for atrioesophageal fistula after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation.
Methods: Between January 2010 and April 2023, all patients with a diagnosis of atrioesophageal fistula or pericardo-esophageal fistula after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation were analyzed retrospectively from the French database EPITHOR. Patients without surgical management were excluded.
Sternotomy or thoracotomy for neonatal repair of coarctation of the aorta with aortic arch hypoplasia.
JTCVS Open
December 2024
Department of Cardiac Surgery, Boston Children's Hospital, Boston, Mass.
Objective: For neonatal repair of coarctation of the aorta, patients may either undergo thoracotomy with extended end-to-end anastomosis or sternotomy for aortic arch reconstruction with cardiopulmonary bypass. The objective of this study was to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of the 2 approaches in patients with arch hypoplasia.
Methods: This is a single-center retrospective cohort study from July 2005 through May 2022 of patients who underwent neonatal repair for isolated coarctation of the aorta with additional arch hypoplasia.

Background: Hand-sewn Kono-S anastomosis is safe and associated with a reduction in post-operative recurrence (POR) in Crohn's disease (CD). The study aims to investigate the advantages of stapled Kono-S in Crohn's patients with intestinal anastomosis.
Methods: Crohn's patients undergoing intestinal anastomosis were reviewed via a prospectively maintained database.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is considered the gold standard for treating benign and malignant biliary obstructions. However, its use in complex biliary obstructions is limited. Over the past decades, therapeutic endosonography (EUS) and emerging technologies such as lumen-apposing metal stents have enabled endoscopic treatment of conditions previously requiring non-endoscopic or surgical approaches.

Background: Previous studies showed a high conversion rate and failure of restrictive procedures, including sleeve gastrectomy (SG), adjustable gastric banding (AGB), gastric plication (GP), and vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) in a long-term follow-up. The current study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a revisional one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) for weight loss and treatment of obesity-related problems after primary metabolic and bariatric restrictive procedures.
Methods: A retrospective study on prospectively collected data was conducted on a sample of 151 patients who experienced insufficient weight loss or weight regain after primary restrictive surgeries and underwent OAGB as a revisional procedure.
