Hand-Sewn Versus Stapled Small Bowel Anastomoses in Patients With Secondary Mesenteric Ischemia.

Introduction: Although stapled anastomoses have been widely evaluated in the context of the elective surgery, few reports compared manual with stapled anastomoses in patients undergoing emergency surgery. The aim of this study is to compare the outcome of hand-sewn end-to-end anastomoses with stapled side-to-side and stapled end-to-side anastomoses in patients undergoing small bowel resection for acute mesenteric ischemia secondary to intestinal obstruction.

Methods: From January 2015 to June 2021 all the hemodynamically stable patients undergoing emergency surgery with small bowel resection for intestinal obstruction were enrolled in this study.

Usefulness of damage control approach in patients with limited acute mesenteric ischemia: a prospective study of 85 patients.

To evaluate the efficacy of the damage control approach by two-step surgical procedure in not critical patients (without sepsis or septic shock) with peritonitis from limited acute mesenteric ischemia. From April 2013 to April 2020, 85 patients [49 (57.7%) women and 36 (42.

Mini/One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass Versus Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass as a Second Step Procedure After Sleeve Gastrectomy-a Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: Whether one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a better revisional bariatric surgery (RBS) after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is still under debate. The aim is to compare short-term outcomes of RYGB and OAGB as a RBS after SG, pertaining to their effects on weight loss, resolution of comorbidities, and complications.

Methods: We performed a single-center analysis of 55 patients (n = 34 OAGB, n = 21 RYGB).

The Impact of Obesity and Metabolic Surgery on Chronic Inflammation.

Background: Obesity and metabolic surgery is known to improve chronic inflammatory status. Whether improvement is related to anatomical changes or weight loss is still to debate.

Objective: The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the different bariatric procedures sleeve gastrectomy (SG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), and One-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB), pertaining to their effects on inflammation markers.

The importance of the Edmonton Obesity Staging System in predicting postoperative outcome and 30-day mortality after metabolic surgery.

Background: The Edmonton Obesity Staging System (EOSS) is a more comprehensive measure of obesity-related diseases and predictor of mortality than body mass index (BMI) or waist circumference. Its application for the selection of obese patients for obesity surgery has been suggested.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine whether the EOSS can also be used in predicting postoperative outcome and 30-day mortality after metabolic surgery.

Evaluation of rectal sensory and motor function by means of the electronic barostat after stapled hemorrhoidopexy.

Purpose: Stapled hemorrhoidopexy is designed to replace the hemorrhoids into the anal canal by excising the redundant rectal mucosa above the anorectal ring, thus resulting in an intrarectal suture. Few studies have evaluated rectal function after this procedure. This prospective study was designed to use the electronic barostat to assess whether rectal motor and sensory functions change after stapled hemorrhoidopexy.
