    Abstract Background: A laparoscopic approach to right colectomies for emergency right colon cancers is under investigation. This study compares perioperative and oncological long-term outcomes of right colon cancers undergoing laparoscopic or open emergency resections and identifies risk factors for survival.
    Methods: Patients were identified from a prospectively maintained institutional database between 2009 and 2019. Demographics, clinicopathological features, recurrence, and survival were investigated. Cox regression analysis was performed for risk factor analysis.
    Results: A total of 202 right colectomies (114 open and 88 laparoscopic) were included. ASA III-IV was higher in the open group. The conversion rate was 14.8%. Laparoscopic surgery was significantly longer (156 vs. 203 min,
    Conclusions: A laparoscopic approach to right colon cancers in an emergency setting is safe in terms of perioperative and long-term oncological outcomes. Randomized control trials are required to further investigate these results.

    Abstract Bile leak is a rare complication after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Subvesical bile duct (SVBD) injury is the second cause of minor bile leak, following the unsuccessful clipping of the cystic duct stump. The aim of this study is to pool available data on this type of biliary tree anatomical variation to summarize incidence of injury, methods used to diagnose and treat SVBD leaks after LC. Articles published between 1985 and 2021 describing SVBD evidence in patients operated on LC for gallstone disease, were included. Data were divided into two groups based on the intra or post-operative evidence of bile leak from SVBD after surgery. This systematic report includes 68 articles for a total of 231 patients. A total of 195 patients with symptomatic postoperative bile leak are included in Group 1, while Group 2 includes 36 patients describing SVBD visualized and managed during LC. Outcomes of interest were diagnosis, clinical presentation, treatment, and outcomes. The management of minor bile leak is controversial. In most of cases diagnosed postoperatevely, Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP) is the best way to treat this complication. Surgery should be considered when endoscopic or radiological approaches are not resolutive.

    Abstract Background: Valdoni technique involves leaving the mucosa layer, between the two anastomosed bowel tract intact, providing for a subsequent breakage of the intestine. It is a technique that allows you to keep the operating field clean.
    Conclusion: Valdoni technique allows the surgeon to keep the operating field clean. It is a valid alternative when the surgeons have to make a colonic anastomosis, doing open surgery.

    Abstract Introduction and importance: In the last years, transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) has been described in rectal cancer treatment, especially in challenging patients, difficulties in pelvic exposure and limitations of instrumentation improving not only dissection but also the preservation of autonomic pelvic nerves and the achievement of a restorative procedure. Here we report a case report of anterior laparoscopic rectal resection for adenocarcinoma of the high-mid rectum converted to transanal approach.
    Case presentation: A 69-year-old male presented hepatic nodules during radiological follow-up for prostate cancer treated with radical prostatectomy and adjuvant radiotherapy (70 Gy). The biopsy of the lesion demonstrated the presence of a metastatic lesion of an adenocarcinoma, with suspected intestinal origin. Then, we perform an endoscopic examination, which showed the presence of a rectal lesion, which cause a bowel stenosis extended from the middle part to the upper part of the rectum. After chemoradiotherapy, an anterior rectal resection was performed. During surgery we could not perform the resection of the rectum due the thickness and fibrosis of the tissue, despite we used different branded mechanical stapler. So, we decided to complete the surgical treatment starting a TaTME procedure with resolution of the problem.
    Clinical discussion: TaTME is a relatively new technique that had already become a valid option in the treatment of low rectal cancer, and, nowadays, also in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. As reported in literature, this technique has a number of advantages, especially in narrow pelvis and it is very useful in low rectal surgery.
    Conclusion: This case report aims to describe the possible use of TaTME procedure as a rescue also when this approach is not the first choice.

    Abstract Background: Transanal dissection of the rectum has been recently introduced for ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) in UC showing promising results. Thanks to the precise identification of the rectotomy site the risk of long rectal stump is avoided, and a single stapled anastomosis is performed easily. The aim of this study is to analyze our initial experience of transanal proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (TaIPAA), considering postoperative complications and medium-term functional outcomes.
    Methods: Our Center has experienced the transanal approach for proctectomy and IPAA since August 2018. All patients underwent Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol. Postoperative complications occurring within 30 days after surgery were taken into consideration. Fecal continence, genito-urinary activity and global quality of life at 1 and 6 months after ileostomy reversal have been assessed.
    Results: Until March 2019, 8 patients underwent transanal proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (TaIPAA). In all cases the laparoscopic approach was performed during the transabdominal phase; abdominal drainage was never used. At the time of the pouch construction a defunctioning loop ileostomy was created in all patients. Stoma closure was performed in all cases at a median time of 6 months after surgery. Postoperative complications occurred in only one patient, who showed rectal bleeding, not required a re-invertation. There were no cases of anastomotic leakage. Medium-term functional outcomes were determined prospectively using previously validated quality of life questionnaires (Cleveland Global Quality of Life). Fecal incontinence for liquid or solid stool, genitourinary and sexual functions were also investigated, showing comparable results with the literature data.
    Conclusions: In our experience, transanal proctocolectomy and ileal pouch-anal anastomosis provided good short and medium-term functional results in UC.

    Abstract Background: Protective stoma after rectal surgery has been associated with important complications. The most common is surgical site infection (SSI) high rates after stoma reversal reported in literature. Our study compared the rate of SSI of two skin closure techniques, linear closure, and purse string closure.
    Methods: We carried out a single center, prospective, randomized controlled trial in the Department of Colorectal Surgery of Fondazione Policlinico Campus Bio-Medico of Rome between January 2018 through December 2021, to compare LC vs PS closure of ileostomy sites.
    Results: A total of 117 patients (53.84% male) with a mean age of 65.68 ± 14.33 years were finally evaluated in the study. 58 patients were included in the PS group and 59 patients in the LC one. There was a marked difference in the SSI rate between the two arms of the study: 3 of 58 patients in the purse-string arm versus 11 of 59 in the control arm (p = 0.043). The outcome of cosmesis was also higher in PS, with a statistical significance (mean ± DS 4,01 ± 0,73 for PS group vs mean ± DS 2,38 ± 0,72 for LC group, p < 0,001).
    Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that the PS technique had a significantly lower incidence of stoma site SSI compared with LC technique. Our findings are in line with other randomized studies and suggest that PS closure could be considered as standard of care for wound closure after ileostomy reversal.

    Abstract Introduction: We speak of "Ectopic thyroid gland" when a piece of thyroid tissue is placed at a certain distance from the second to fourth tracheal cartilages.
    Presentation of case: This case report focuses on a case of a hyperplastic cystic nodule of ectopic thyroid in a 30-year-old woman treated with uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). The patient, was admitted to Emergency Unit for abdominal pain and vomit, underwent a CT which highlighted a mass of significant dimension on the right side of the mediastinum, in contact with close structures. The lesion has been removed with an innovative mini-invasive technique, which is characterized, differently from traditional surgical approaches, by reduced loss of blood and time of hospitalization and, in addiction to that, an aesthetic small-dimensioned scar.
    Discussion: VATS technique is minimally invasive and, moreover, it is characterized by a shorter recovery period, a minor blood loss and a shorter hospital stay. VATS has been advocated since 2010 for pulmonary resections, but today it is also performed for mediastinal intervention and a series of reports have demonstrated that it is feasible and safe.
    Conclusion: The report aims at pointing out the possibility of undergoing this kind of surgery not only in case of pulmonary mass (on which the previous literature has focused) but also when mediastinum lesions occur, as in our case.

    Abstract Introduction: Teratomas are tumours composed by different tissues derived from one or more of the three primitive germ cell layers. The frequency of mediastinal teratomas ranged from 1 to 5 %, in most cases with localization in the anterior/superior mediastinum.
    Presentation of case: We report a case report of a 29 years old male who presented an occasional and asymptomatic mediastinal mass. Computer Tomography (CT) scan showed a 6.8 × 4.5 cm mass in the anterior mediastino, located below the left brachio-cephalic vein, next to aortic arch and left pulmonary artery. Complete excision of the mass "en block" with anterior mediastinal adipose tissue was achieved, using uniportal VATS approach. The postoperative course was regular, without air leak or other pulmonary complication.
    Discussion: VATS technique is minimally invasive and, moreover, it is characterized by a shorter recovery period, a minor blood loss and a shorter hospital stay. VATS has been advocated since 2010 for pulmonary resections, but today it is also performed for mediastinal intervention and a series of reports have demonstrated that it is feasible and safe.

    Abstract Introduction: Pseudomyxoma extraperitonei (PE) is a rare finding. The most common cause is the rupture of a mucocele of the appendix into the retroperitoneum.
    Presentation of case: Here we report a case of a 52 years old female patient with a mass in the right abdomen and vague lower abdominal pain underwent resection of a extraperitoneal encapsulated mass. The histopathological examination revealed a mucinous pseudomyxoma with a low grade of differentiation.
    Discussion: We report a case of pseudomyxoma extraperitonei with a review of literature.
    Conclusion: The treatment of pseudomyxoma differs substantially depending on whether it is intraperitoneal or extraperitoneal. The risk of recurrence is such that follow-up, based on a physical examination, CT scan and serum markers, is essential.

    Abstract Introduction: Hepatic portal venous gas (HPVG) is a rare radiological finding in which gas enters the portal venous system and it is associated in case of necrotizing colitis with a mortality of 75%. We report a case of iatrogenic HPVG with a review of literature.
    Presentation of case: A 41 years old patient underwent total colectomy and ileal pouch- anal anastomosis with derivative ileostomy for a familiar adenomatous polyposis coli in June 2008. A stenosis of the pouch-anal anastomosis developed. The patient underwent several endoscopic dilations. A recurrence of the stenosis was observed. The patient underwent to several endoscopic procedure. After the last colonoscopy the patient showed a fever with abdominal pain. A CT scan showed little peri-anastomotic collections and massive hepatic portal venous gas.
    Discussion: The management of HPVG varied from surgical intervention to non-operative procedure. The surgical approach it's reserved to clinically unstable patients or those with evidence of peritonitis or bowel perforation. Stable patients, like those with an HPVG consequence of an endoscopic procedure, can be treated with non- operative management.
    Conclusion: Our experience confirm that hepatic portal venous gas can be related to endoscopic procedure; thus, it can be managed on the basis of patient's general clinical conditions, and in selected cases it will disappear without therapeutic interventions with a good outcome.
