Laparostomy and temporary abdominal closure outcomes in emergency non-trauma surgery and parameters affecting early definite primary fascial closure.
CONCLUSIONS: Although the open abdomen has been demonstrated to improve survival, the precise role in abdominal sepsis has not been elucidated. Current consensus does not support use of open abdomen routinely, however in selected situations it becomes unavoidable. Laparostomy is a valid option in non-trauma emergency surgery and can be managed safely in a district hospital. High closure rates can be achieved if one or two re-look operations are performed with an early attempt for closure.

The gauze technique: a simple method of dissection in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
CONCLUSIONS: Based on our experience the soft technique is a safe and feasible way to create a preperitoneal flap. Operating time is drastically reduced and the learning curve is reduced even for less experienced surgeons.

Comparison between two different reconstruction techniques after pancreatic head resection.
CONCLUSIONS: No significant advantage of one technique over the other was found. In our opinion, surgeons should choose the approach with which they have the most experience and ease.

Mini-invasive thyroidectomy and Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM): a single high-volume center experience in 215 consecutive cases.
CONCLUSIONS: In our experience we report that the use of IONM in MIVAT is as helpful to improve the safe of procedure. The risk of nerve palsy in literature associated to MIVAT is the same of the related one to classic technique (CT). We haven't identify a statistical positivity to use IONM in MIVAT related to MIVAT without IONM. In our previous experience cases series of MIVAT the percentage of transitory nerve palsy reported was 2,4% (p=ns). The most important IONM effect, in our opinion is the "safety feeling" experienced by the surgeon using IONM in a more challenging procedure. As a University Hospital, training surge...

Robotic resection of a large ovarian leiomyoma.
Authors: Mangano A, Valle V, Bustos R, Gruessner S, Masrur M, Aguiluz G, Bianco F, Giulianotti PC
Abstract
Uterine leiomyomata are the most frequent leiomyomata. However, this benign tumor can also arise in unusual locations (e.g. ovaries, urethra, bladder and vulva). The diagnostic process of ovarian leiomyomata can be difficult, and it is mostly incidental: the lesions are usually small and the clinical presentation is mainly asymptomatic. Since the first case described in 1862, less than 100 cases have been described. Some of these lesions have been treated laparoscopically. To our knowledge, this is th...

Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (tem): indications, tips and long-term results. A single center experience.
CONCLUSIONS: TEM can be a valid alternative for the treatment of both benign and malignant rectal lesions, further studies are needed to define more specific indications to justify the survival of this technique in the future.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy: which predicting factors of conversion? Two Italian center's study.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results show that most of the independent risk factors for conversion cannot be modified by delaying surgery. Many factors reported in the literature did not significantly impact conversion rates in our results.

Transanal endoscopic operation (TEO) for rectal lesion: a rapid initial experience.
CONCLUSIONS: Our initial experience suggests TEO is safe and feasible. Full-thickness resection guarantees adequate deep margins. Moreover, the limited number of cases requires the development of adequate reference centers.

Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) is safe, feasible and effective in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery: results of a prospective single center study.
CONCLUSIONS: The present study shows that the ERAS protocol is safe, feasible, and effective in elderly patients as in the young ones, undergoing laparoscopic elective colorectal surgery. This suggests that the ERAS program can be applied usefully to elderly patients in the routine clinical practice.

Early and late effects of the sequential transfixed stich technique for the treatment of the symptomatic rectocele without rectal mucosa prolapse.
CONCLUSIONS: The STST is a feasible, safe, and cost-effective technique for the treatment of the rectocele without rectal mucosal prolapse. The method does not increase the risk of postoperative anal incontinence and presents a short hospital stay. STST presents long- term results in line with other trans-vaginal and trans-anal approaches.
