Article Abstract
Background/aim: In colon surgery, the anastomotic method is generally selected by surgeon's preferences or by local conditions. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed anastomotic complications to assess safe methods of anastomosis in colonic resection.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a total of 684 cases, performed between July 2003 and June 2013 in our Hospital. Anastomosis complications, such as leakage, stricture and bleeding, were analyzed in relation to the three methods of anastomosis, hand-sewn (HS), functional end-to-end (FEEA) and triangulating anastomosis (TRI).
Results: Univariate analysis indicated that the incidence of leakage was significantly lower in laparoscopic surgeries (p=0.034) and TRI (p=0.047). The results of the multivariable analysis indicated that anastomotic leakage was significantly less with TRI (p=0.029).
Conclusion: In colon surgery, TRI seems to be associated with a low risk of anastomotic leakage compared to HS and FEEA.

Introduction: Dumping syndrome (DS) and postprandial hypoglycemia (PPH) are challenging complications encountered after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Surgical revision is often the next therapeutic step when pharmacological and dietary treatments fail to control DS and PPH. Endoscopic argon plasma coagulation (APC) is a less invasive alternative that reduces the diameter of the gastrojejunal anastomosis (GJA).

Background: The primary treatment for colorectal cancer, which is very prevalent, is surgery. Anastomotic leaking poses a significant risk following surgery. Intestinal perfusion can be objectively and instantly assessed with indocyanine green fluorescence imaging, which may lower leakage rates and enhance surgical results.

Background: Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) prior to laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery is still under debate due to a lack of high evidence. Thus, the study at hand aimed to find out whether this medication lowers the rate of postoperative complications or not.
Methods: In 2020, a retrospective analysis took place at Helios Hospital Berlin Buch, Germany.

Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy is gaining success among surgeons also for the increasing use of robotic approach. Ideal candidates are patients with small, confined tumor and dilatated Wirsung duct which is a quite rare clinical conditions: in fact, most of minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomies are performed for periampullary cancer, easy to remove but with soft pancreatic remnant and tiny Wirsung duct. The result is the technical challenge of the pancreatico-enteric reconstructions.
