Introduction:
At present, harvesting more lymph nodes is considered more conducive to the prognosis of colorectal cancer surgery. The recent development of enhanced surgical visualization has led to the wide employment of indocyanine green (ICG) to assist minimally invasive surgery. This systematic review aims to provide a wide and critical overvi...
Pancreatitis is a major public health issue worldwide. There is geographical variation in the burden of acute and chronic pancreatitis (CP). Globally, the age-standardized prevalence rate increased from 1990 to 2017. Acute pancreatitis (AP) is now one of the most common reasons for hospitalization with a gastrointestinal condition. The essential re...
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a rare condition caused by a malformation in the diaphragm that is usually diagnosed in newborns, infants and children. Sometimes it can be incidentally identified in adults. Once the diagnosis is made, surgery is indicated to avoid the risk of life-threatening complications of herniated viscera. Traditional appro...
Background
Screening significantly reduces mortality from colorectal cancer (CRC). Screen detected (SD) tumors associate with better prognosis, even at later stage, compared to non-screen detected (NSD) tumors. We aimed to evaluate the association between diagnostic modality (SD vs. NSD) and short- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing surg...
Several studies attempted to determine whether there is a relationship between the use of preoperative biliary drainage and morbidity after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). We retrospectively evaluated post-PD outcome in patients with and without preoperative biliary drainage and the role of bacteriobilia and antibiotic prophylaxis in post-operative c...
Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is associated with systemic disease, mostly rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), in many patients (more than 50%). Lesions associated with arthritis are often ulcerative. Although these lesions typically affect the lower limbs, they can also affect the entire body. Successful therapy involving mo...
Martorell's ulcer is a type of ischaemic ulcer of the lower leg, defined by severe pain and female-to-male predominance. The aim of this article is to assess the therapeutic effectiveness of PGE(1), both in pain control and in the healing times of Martorell's ulcers for patients already undergoing antihypertensive treatment. Between January 2004 an...

Lesions associated with arthritis are often ulcerative. Although these lesions typically affect the lower limbs, they can also affect the entire body. Successful therapy in...
The use of Totally Implantable Central Venous Access Systems (T.I.C.V.A.S.) has become an essential aid for those patients requiring extended intravenous infusion treatments or complete parenteral nutrition, and for whom the peripheral venous system may be or may become inadequate for infusions. This paper describes fifteen years of experience in t...
