Results of a randomised controlled trial between an ORC collagen hemostatic agent and a carrier-bound fibrin sealant.
...Published in Journal of visceral surgery
Despite ongoing optimisation of surgical techniques, hemostasis continues to be a fundamental challenge in many operations today. This randomised controlled trial compared the efficacy of a new hemostatic agent made of oxidised regenerated cellulose and collagen (ORC-Coll) with that of a conventional carrier-bound fibrin sealant (CBFS). Hemostasis ...
Gastrointestinal motility has more of an impact on postoperative recovery than you might expect.
Published in Journal of visceral surgery
While patient's reported autonomy (PRA) may help the physician to adapt the day of discharge, the link between postoperative ileus and length of stay and PRA is not known. The aim of this study was to evaluate the evolution of the PRA score during the postoperative period and to determine the factors possibly influencing such an evolution. This ret...

...Published in Journal of visceral surgery
The treatment of symptomatic hernia in cirrhotic patients with refractory ascites is critical but challenging. The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and safety of the implantation of alfapump® combined with concomitant hernia repair in cirrhotic patients with refractory ascites. Using data from six European centres, we retrospec...
Quality of life in colostomy patients practicing colonic irrigation: An observational study.
Published in Journal of visceral surgery
The presence of colostomy has a major impact on quality of life that could potentially be improved by performing colonic irrigation (CI), yet few studies have assessed the impact of this technique on quality of life. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life between two groups of patients having a colostomy; those practicing CI vs tho...

Evaluation of severe caustic gastritis by computed tomography and its impact on management.
Published in Journal of visceral surgery
Serious caustic burns of the stomach that present with no clinico-biological severity criteria (CBSC) can be treated conservatively. However, even if there are no CBSC at admission, 20% of patients still require delayed emergency surgery for peritonitis due to gastric perforation thus showing the limitations of this strategy in the diagnosis of irr...
