Khan et al' single-centre, retrospective study on the use of right or left kidneys in living-donor renal transplantation, offers the opportunity to further discuss a complex and debated topic in clinical transplantation. In brief, the authors confirm that, despite the historical preference for left kidneys, attributed to their anatomical advantages...
The liver is the most common site of metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC), and colorectal liver metastasis is one of the major causes of CRC-related deaths worldwide. The tumor microenvironment, particularly the extracellular matrix (ECM), plays a critical role in CRC metastasis and chemoresistance. Based on findings from clinical and basic resear...
Waiting for a transplant correlates with trepidation, emotional distress, a sense of guilt and grief toward the deceased donor, anxiety, and even depression. Then, patients must cope with uncertainty and fear about outcomes and changes in personal identity. Aim of this study was to gather patients' perspectives on significant moments in their trans...
Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) are the most common of the rare non-epithelial neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract, accounting for 0.1–3% of gastrointestinal malignancies. They were considered smooth muscle sarcomas until being recognized as a distinct disease in the 1990s. Interstitial cell of Cajal (ICC), also called gastrointestinal...
Background: Obesity is a global epidemic that affects millions worldwide and can be a deterrent to surgical procedures in the population waiting for kidney transplantation. However, the literature on the topic is controversial. This study evaluates the impact of body mass index (BMI) on complications after renal transplantation, and identifies fact...
Mesenteric Venous Thrombosis (MVT) is a rare but often lethal form of ischemia. The diagnosis may be difficult for the clinician due to its mild symptoms with a great discrepancy between the pain suffered by the patients and the clinical observation. The non-specificity of the laboratory tests and the challenge in computed tomography (CT) scan in d...
This video describes a step-by-step technique with a robotic suprapubic bottom-to-up (BTU) approach with complete mesocolic excision CME for right colectomy (RC) for colon cancer using the Da Vinci Xi® surgical system.
Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract with a 1–3% prevalence in the general population. The surgical management of symptomatic MD is well described in the literature, but there is still no consensus on the indication for prophylactic resection of incidental asymptomatic MD. To address this is...
Meckel’s diverticulum (MD) is the most common congenital anomaly of the gastrointestinal tract with a 1-3% prevalence in general population. The surgical management of symptomatic MD is well described in the literature, but there is still no consensus on the indication for prophylactic resection of incidental asymptomatic MD. To address this issue,...
We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 109 patients who underwent curative laparoscopic or open resection for different types of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Only primary GIST patients who did not receive preoperative chemotherapy or oral imatinib treatment were included in the analysis. We divided the patients into 2 groups...
Diagnosis of acute intestinal ischemia related to splanchnic trunk thrombosis and its multisciplinary treatment
Is there a correlation between type of prosthesis fixation in T.A.P.P. and after surgery recovery? Our center experience
Aim
A retrospective study was carried out on patients treated for bilateral inguinal hernia with TAPP technique by the department of Urgency Surgery and Transplantation of Varese's hospital in order to investigate the VAS one month after surgery and functional recovery in two groups of patients.
Material and Methods
38 patients treated in the last...
Aim
“The De Garengeot’s hernia, from Rene De Garengeot, who was the first to describe the appendix inside a femoral hernia sac in 1731, is a rare type of crural hernia. The diagnosis is challenging and surgery must be performed without delay. The incidence of appendicitis in this type of hernia is about 0.08-0.13%. The aim of this work is to descri...
Incidence of malignant tumors in kidney transplant recipients is higher than nontransplanted population due to many factors, such as immunosuppression therapy and complex donor-recipient interaction. Genitourinary malignancies have been reported as the second most common malignancy in kidney transplant recipients. In this regard, prostate cancer is...
Because of the potentially devastating consequences, adequate hemostasis is of paramount importance in all surgical procedures: generalized ooze hemorrhage from the surgical wall cavities, arising from the surface of different organs as liver, kidney, or nervous tissue, can result in considerable blood loss, prolonging surgical times, and with majo...
