The occlusive tourniquet: a simple method for rectal stump washout during open and laparoscopic surgery.

2007

Rectal stump washout with cytolytic agents is recommended and usually performed during anterior rectal or rectosigmoid resection. The use of a linear stapler instrument during ultralow anterior resection makes the placement of pelvic clamps difficult for rectal stump washout prior to resection. The objective of this work is to demonstrate the use of a simple procedure, the occlusive tourniquet for rectal stump washout. Occlusive tourniquet applied to open technique: after complete dissection of the rectum and sigmoid colon according to the usual technique, a simple piece of tubing from an intravenous line is passed behind and around the rectum/sigmoid colon at some point distal to the tumor…

Primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the mesocolon transversum.

2009

Primary malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is a rare and biologically aggressive tumor. Differential diagnosis must include cystic neoplasms of the pancreas (mucinous and serous cystoadenoma or cystocarcinoma), cystic lymphangioma or mesothelioma and retroperitoneal haematoma. Making the right diagnosis preoperatively may be often difficult, but MFH may be suspected when a huge retroperitoneal mass is found at imaging in elderly patients. We report a case of a primary abdominal MFH originating from the mesocolon transversum.

Trattamento chirurgico di un caso di fibroistiocitoma maligno del mesocolon trasverso

2008

INTRODUZIONE: I fibroistiocitomi (MFH) sono dei sarcomi che originano dai tessuti molli, solitamente si localizzano nelle estremità dell’organismo nel tronco e nel retroperitoneo; la localizzazione dei MFH primitivi a livello addominale e/o intestinale è molto rara, infatti non più di 40 casi sono stati descritti a tutt’oggi in letteratura. CASO CLINICO: Paziente donna di anni 80 nella quale è stata osservata una tumefazione localizzata a livello della regione epigastrica e dell’ipocondrio di destra, di consistenza teso elastica, ricoperta da cute integra e associata a sintomatologia dispeptica. Gli esami di laboratorio erano nella norma eccetto l’Emoglobina di 8,2 gr/dl, i Globuli Rossi di…

Nuevos estándares de calidad de linfadenectomía D3 en la escisión completa del mesocolon tras la hemicolectomía derecha

2022

Introducción y objetivo. Los estándares de calidad anatomopatológica de escisión total del mesorrecto y escisión completa de mesocolon se basan en parámetros anatomoquirúrgicos constantes y están claramente definidos. Mediante estos estándares se ha podido relacionar la calidad de la pieza quirúrgica con el aumento de la supervivencia. La técnica quirúrgica de Linfadenectomia D3 (LD3) en la hemicolectomía derecha se basa en la disección e incorporación a la pieza quirúrgica del tejido linfograso del tronco gastrocólico de Henle y del tronco quirúrgico de Gillot. Numerosos estudios destacan la necesidad de establecer estándares de calidad anatomopatológicos de LD3 hasta el momento no descrit…

Feasibility and Safety of Laparoscopic Complete Mesocolic Excision (CME) for Right-sided Colon Cancer

2020

OBJECTIVE The aim of this prospective clinical study is to compare short-term outcome of laparoscopic right hemicolectomy using the Complete Mesocolic Excision (CME group) with patients who underwent conventional right-sided colonic resection (NCME group). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Although CME with central vascular ligation in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy is associated with a significant decrease in local recurrence rates and improvements in cancer-related 5-year survival, there may be additional risks associated with this technique because of increased surgical complications. As a result, there is controversy surrounding its use. METHODS In this randomized controlled trial, several prim…

Carl Toldt Centennial, Surgeon and Anatomist

2021

Carl Florian Toldt was an Austrian anatomist who made meaningful contributions worldwide and defined what is one of the most important surgical landmarks in abdominal surgery. Through his research studies, the embryologic dissection plane known as the “White Line of Toldt” represents an important anatomical landmark that helps to mobilize either the ascending or descending colon. His career spanned over 45 years, beginning in Verona and continuing to Prague and Vienna. He was an author of several innovative books and scientific articles regarding micro- and macroscopic anatomy. In addition, he received numerous recognitions and prizes for his work, making him an essential figure in the med…
