Predictors of surgical outcomes of minimally invasive right colectomy: the MERCY study
2022
PURPOSE: The optimal approach for minimally invasive (MIS) right colectomy remains under debate. This study aimed to describe surgical trends in the treatment of nonmetastatic right colon cancer and to identify predictors of short-term surgical outcomes. METHODS: A retrospective multicenter cohort study of Minimally-invasivE surgery for oncologic Right ColectomY (MERCY) was conducted on patients who underwent laparoscopic or robotic right colectomy between 2014 and 2020. Classification tree approach was used to describe the extracorporeal (EA) or intracorporeal (IA) anastomosis choice. Mixed-model regressions were used to identify patient- and surgery-related factors predictive of postopera…
ROBOTIC VERSUS LAPAROSCOPIC INTRACORPOREAL ANASTOMOSIS IN RIGHT COLON CANCER SURGERY: ANALYSIS OF PATIENTS’ OPERATIVE OUTCOMES AND OPERATORS’ CURRENT…
2022
Background. Whereas laparoscopy proved to have better operative outcomes than open surgery over the years, robotic surgery provided no clear advantages over laparoscopy despite its more advanced technical features. However, robotic technology might help to achieve some advantageous procedures which are generally regarded as challenging, such as performing an intracorporeal anastomosis during a right colectomy. The objectives of this research project were: 1) to compare the outcomes of laparoscopic and robotic surgery in the case of a right colectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis for colon cancer; 2) to find any factors influencing surgical decisions and outcomes. Methods. First, we conduc…
Totally laparoscopic treatment of intestinal tuberculosis complicated with bowel perforation: The first case report in worldwide literature with a br…
2022
IntroductionBowel perforation is a relatively rare presentation of abdominal tuberculosis, whose diagnosis is challenging but fundamental to minimize morbidity and mortality. Laparoscopy is considered an effective modality for diagnosis, but its role in surgical treatment is still not established. We reported the first worldwide case of totally laparoscopic treatment of intestinal tuberculosis complicated with bowel perforation.Case presentationA 30-year-old man with a history of weight loss, preceded by 2 years of nonproductive cough, was admitted to the Infectious Disease Department with a presumed diagnosis of tuberculosis. A microbiological culture test confirmed the diagnosis, and the …
