Ultralow Anterior Resection and Coloanal Anastomosis for Low-Lying Rectal Cancer: An Appraisal Based on Bowel Function
Conclusion: In patients with low rectal cancers undergoing ULAR plus coloanal anastomosis, bowel dysfunctions were severe. Bowel dysfunctions improved over time, but most patients still experienced major bowel dysfunctions even 36 months after surgery. Risk factors for bowel dysfunctions were old age, male sex, adjuvant chemoradiation therapy, and ULAR. Therefore, ULAR should be performed in carefully selected patients with low-lying rectal cancer.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Comparison of 2 Perioperative Management Protocols and Their Influence on Postoperative Recovery after Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy: Standard Parenteral Nutrition, Selective Bowel Decontamination and Suprapubic Catheters?
Conclusions: Gastrointestinal recovery after CRS-HIPEC seems to take longer as compared to other surgical procedures. Between the 2 centres, a significant difference in severe complications was found, while standard TPN, selective bowel decontamination and SPCs were the only identified differences in perioperative care.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Clinical Characteristics and Surgical Treatment for Inguinal Endometriosis in Young Women of Reproductive Age
Conclusions: Because IEM-type I might be underdiagnosed preoperatively, complete resection of a hernia sac or hydrocele of Nuck ’s canal with subsequent pathological examination is required for women of reproductive age with an inguinal disease.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

The Outcome of Complex Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Surgery for Elderly Patients: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis
Conclusions: Although elderly patients had more comorbidities and higher incidences of postoperative mortality and several complications before matching, their postoperative outcomes were equivalent to those of non-elderly patients after matching.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Optimal Timing of Removal of Epidural and Urethral Catheters to Avoid Postoperative Urinary Retention Undergoing Abdominal Surgery
Conclusion: We demonstrated that removal of urethral catheter before epidural catheter contributed to increasing trends in incidence of POUR. The optimal order and interval of removal of epidural and urethral catheters should be considered to avoid POUR after abdominal surgery.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Endoscopic and Histopathology Characteristics in Patients with Esophageal High-Grade Intraepithelial Neoplasia
Conclusion: This study confirms that lesion size #x3e; 2 cm, depressed and excavated patterns, and ≤4 biopsy samples are independent risk factors for histological grade changes compared to pre-endoscopic treatment diagnosis. Similarly, leukoplakia and no Lugol staining of lesions are independent risk factors for non-curative resection.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Patient ’s Skeletal Muscle Radiation Attenuation and Sarcopenic Obesity are Associated with Postoperative Morbidity after Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation and Resection for Rectal Cancer
Conclusion: Radiation attenuation was associated with overall and grade 3 –5 postoperative morbidity after neoadjuvant chemoradiation and non-laparoscopic resection for rectal cancer. Sarcopenic obesity was associated with overall complications.Dig Surg (Source: Digestive Surgery)

Open Liver Resection, Laparoscopic Liver Resection, and Percutaneous Thermal Ablation for Patients with Solitary Small Hepatocellular Carcinoma ( ≤30 mm): Review of the Literature and Proposal for a Therapeutic Strategy
Conclusions: According to the available evidences, the following therapeutic proposal can be advanced. Laparoscopic limited resection is the standard for any subcapsular HCC. PTA is the first-line treatment for deep-located HCC #x3c; 2 cm, except for those in contact with Glissonean pedicles. Laparoscopic AR is the standard for deep-located HCC of 2–3 cm of the left liver, while open AR is the standard for deep-located HCC of 2–3 cm in the right liver. HCC i n contact with Glissonean pedicles should be scheduled for resection (open or laparoscopic) independent of their size. Liver transplantation is reserved to oth...
