    Abstract Introduction and importance: Pericardial involvement due to gastric cancer is uncommon, especially when it is secondary to direct tumor infiltration. Its manifestation as cardiac tamponade is an exceptional situation that represents a challenge for the treating medical team.
    Case presentation: a case of a patient with advanced gastric cancer with cardiopericardial infiltration, complicated with cardiac tamponade is reported. A narrative review of the diagnostic and therapeutic management was performed.
    Clinical discussion: There are no well-established diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms.
    Conclusions: It is such an exceptional entity that most of the available bibliography is based on case reports or expert opinions. It is a situation with a very bad prognosis.

    Title translation Rectal perforation after endoscopic submucosal dissection: conservative management.
    Abstract Endoscopic mucosal resection and surgery have been the treatments used for resection of early neoplastic colorectal lesions. However, since a few years ago the endoscopic submucosal dissection is a procedure accepted for the curative treatment of these lesions. Among the complications that can occur with this procedure, perforation is one of the most serious ones, requiring in most cases surgical management. A case is reported of a sixty-year-old male patient diagnosed with an extensive flat colorectal polyp, who underwent an endoscopic submucosal dissection, with the subsequent complications of a perforation with subcutaneous emphysema and extra peritoneal air. In conjunction with the surgical team, a decision was made to apply a conservative medical treatment based on suspension of the oral intake and antibiotic therapy, yielding good clinical and imaging evolution.

    Abstract Background: Surgical strategies are being adapted to face the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommendations on the management of acute appendicitis have been based on expert opinion, but very little evidence is available. This study addressed that dearth with a snapshot of worldwide approaches to appendicitis. Methods: The Association of Italian Surgeons in Europe designed an online survey to assess the current attitude of surgeons globally regarding the management of patients with acute appendicitis during the pandemic. Questions were divided into baseline information, hospital organization and screening, personal protective equipment, management and surgical approach, and patient presentation before versus during the pandemic. Results: Of 744 answers, 709 (from 66 countries) were complete and were included in the analysis. Most hospitals were treating both patients with and those without COVID. There was variation in screening indications and modality used, with chest X-ray plus molecular testing (PCR) being the commonest (19·8 per cent). Conservative management of complicated and uncomplicated appendicitis was used by 6·6 and 2·4 per cent respectively before, but 23·7 and 5·3 per cent, during the pandemic (both P < 0·001). One-third changed their approach from laparoscopic to open surgery owing to the popular (but evidence-lacking) advice from expert groups during the initial phase of the pandemic. No agreement on how to filter surgical smoke plume during laparoscopy was identified. There was an overall reduction in the number of patients admitted with appendicitis and one-third felt that patients who did present had more severe appendicitis than they usually observe. Conclusion: Conservative management of mild appendicitis has been possible during the pandemic. The fact that some surgeons switched to open appendicectomy may reflect the poor guidelines that emanated in the early phase of SARS-CoV-2.
