Current guidelines advocate liberal use of delayed abdominal closure in patients with acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) undergoing laparotomy. Few studies have systematically examined this practice. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of delayed abdominal closure on postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients with AMI. We performe...

Acute appendicitis (AA) is one of the most common surgical emergencies worldwide. It's classified into simple or complicated disease. Due to the high prevalence of the disease, AA has been studied as a marker to assess the quality of care afforded to minority groups. The purpose of this study was to compare AA outcomes in foreign workers (FW) to th...

To evaluate predictive and associated risk factors for nephrectomy in renal trauma and assess a 6-point score for surgical decision-making. This multicenter, retrospective, and observational study assessed 247 subjects with blunt or penetrating kidney trauma. Kidney injuries were classified according to the American Association for the Surgery of T...

The management of recurrent diverticulitis after initial non-operative treatment remains controversial. Recurrences after medical treatment have been described up to 36% but only 3 to 5% develop complicated disease. To investigate the effectiveness of conservative treatment during a prolonged follow-up after first episode of complicated diverticuli...

Anastomotic leakage after small bowel resection in emergency laparotomy is a severe complication. A consensus on the risk factors for anastomotic leakage has not been established, and it is still unclear if peritonitis is a risk factor. This systematic review aimed to evaluate if an entero-entero/entero-colonic anastomosis is safe in patients with ...

Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is one of the most serious abdominal emergencies. Predicting the onset of bowel necrosis that warrants surgical intervention is of paramount importance in AMI. The present study aimed to investigate the outcome of patients with AMI secondary to mesenteric venous occlusion (MVO) and the consequence of non-therapeutic ...

Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is frequently diagnosed late, leading to a poor prognosis. Our aims were to identify predictive factors of delayed diagnosis and to analyze the outcomes of patients with AMI admitted in emergency units. All the patients with AMI (2015-2020), in two Emergency units, were retrospectively included. Two groups were defin...

Symptomatic calculus biliary disease is common with associated morbidity and occasional mortality, further confounded when there is concomitant common bile duct (CBD) stones. Choledocholithiasis and clearance of the duct reduces recurrent cholangitis, but the question is whether after clearance of the CBD if there is a need to perform a cholecystec...

Iatrogenic bile duct injuries (BDI) following laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) result in major morbidity and incidental mortality. There is a lack of unselected population-based cross-sectional studies on the incidence, management, and outcomes of BDI. We hypothesised that due to improved imaging capabilities and collective laparoscopic experience...
