    Abstract Background: Non-operative management (NOM) of uncomplicated acute appendicitis (AA) has been introduced as an alternative to appendectomy. This umbrella review aimed to provide an overview of the efficacy and safety of NOM of uncomplicated AA in the published systematic reviews.
    Methods: This umbrella review has been reported in line with the PRISMA guidelines and umbrella review approach. Systematic reviews with and without meta-analyses on the efficacy of NOM of AA were analyzed. The quality of the reviews was assessed with the AMSTAR 2 tool. The main outcomes measures were the treatment failure and complication rates of NOM and hospital stay as compared to appendectomy.
    Results: Eighteen systematic reviews were included to this umbrella review. Eight reviews documented higher odds of failure with NOM, whereas two reviews revealed similar odds of failure. Six reviews reported lower odds of complications with NOM, six reported similar odds, and one reported lower odds of complications with surgery. Eight reviews reported similar hospital stay between NOM and appendectomy, one reported longer stay with NOM and another reported shorter stay with NOM. Pooled analyses showed that NOM was associated with higher treatment failure overall, in children-only, adults only, and RCTs-only meta-analyses. NOM was associated with lower complications overall, yet children-only and RCTs-only analyses revealed similar complications to surgery. NOM was associated with shorter stay in the overall and adult-only analysis, but not in the children-only analysis.
    Conclusions: NOM of AA is associated with higher treatment failure, marginally lower rate of complications and shorter stay than appendectomy.

    Abstract Introduction: This technique aims to evaluate fixation of the sleeved distal part of the stomach to the root of the transverse mesocolon and greater omentum after its shortening in a T-shaped design.
    Methods: Sleeve gastrectomy is done in a standard five-port technique. Then, we fix the distal end of the staple line using an inverting interrupted 2/0 Ticron suture. We plicate the anterior and posterior walls to invert the staple line and then fix it to the mesocolic fat below the pancreas and to the edge of the disconnected distal omentum close to the antrum. Proceeding caudally, we shorten the greater omentum in the form of a T-shaped suture that forms an omental window between the two edges of the omentum. Plication and fixation are continued upwards until the lower border of the pancreas. Then, we plicate the sleeved stomach using a 2/0 Ticron suture starting cranially near the angle of His.
    Results: All patients are discharged from the hospital the next day and followed-up at the clinic after the end of first and second weeks, then after 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively.
    Conclusion: Plicated sleeve gastrectomy combined with mesocolon and greater omentum fixation after T-Shaped omentoplasty is safe and feasible. Long-term follow-up study is required to validate our results.

    Abstract Background: Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is an effective modality for the control of immediate postoperative pain. The present randomized trial aimed to assess the efficacy of ultrasound-guided subcostal TAP (USTAP) and laparoscopic subcostal TAP (LSTAP) block as compared to standard care without TAP block after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
    Methods: This was a prospective, randomized, controlled trial on patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients were equally randomized to one of three groups: USTAP, LSTAP, and control group (no TAP block). The main outcome measures were pain scores and analgesic consumption within the first 24 h postoperatively, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), time to ambulation, time to first flatus, and adverse effects of TAP block.
    Results: The trial included 110 patients (90% females) with a mean age of 40.9 ± 11.7 years. Both USTAP and LSTAP block groups were associated with significantly lower pain scores at 2, 6, 12, and 24 h postoperatively, lower cumulative dose of paracetamol, less PONV, and shorter time to flatus than the control group. USTAP and LSTAP block were associated with similar pain scores at all time points, similar analgesic requirements, a similar incidence of PONV, and comparable time to first ambulation and time to first flatus. No adverse effects related to TAP block were recorded.
    Conclusions: TAP block is a safe and effective method for pain control and improving recovery after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Both USTAP and LSTAP blocks were equally effective in terms of pain relief, analgesic requirements, PONV, return of bowel function, and time to ambulation.

    Abstract Aim: To conduct an up-to-date meta-analysis to assess the success and complication rates of transvenous embolization (TVE) of brain arteriovenous malformations (BAVMs), and to determine its efficacy and safety.
    Material and methods: Relevant and potentially relevant studies from 1982 to February 2021 were searched; after which those that satisfied our eligibility criteria and reported the main outcomes (endovascular occlusion and complication rates) were included.
    Results: Ultimately seven studies were selected. In total, 154 patients were comprehensively reviewed for BAVMs characteristics and endovascular TVE techniques. The weighted mean rate of immediate endovascular total occlusion, overall technical complication, and overall good functional outcome (mRs < 2) were 93% (95% confidence intervals (CI), 89.1%?96.9%, I2 = 0%, p=0.487), 10.5% (95% CI, 4.3%?16.6%, I2 = 30.8%, p=0.193), and 90.9% (95% CI, 85.3%?96.6%, I2 = 26.6%, p=0.241), respectively.
    Conclusion: TVE for BAVMs was found to be generally safe and effective in certain selected patients. However, the complementary role of TAE to TVE as a definitive endovascular treatment for BAVMs cannot be separated. More studies regarding this role need to be conducted.

    Abstract Purpose: Prediction of the onset of de novo gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) would be helpful in decision-making and selection of the optimal bariatric procedure for every patient. The present study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based model to predict the onset of GERD after SG to help clinicians and surgeons in decision-making.
    Materials and methods: A prospectively maintained database of patients with severe obesity who underwent SG was used for the development of the AI model using all the available data points. The dataset was arbitrarily split into two parts: 70% for training and 30% for testing. Then ranking of the variables was performed in two steps. Different learning algorithms were used, and the best model that showed maximum performance was selected for the further steps of machine learning. A multitask AI platform was used to determine the cutoff points for the top numerical predictors of GERD.
    Results: In total, 441 patients (76.2% female) of a mean age of 43.7 ± 10 years were included. The ensemble model outperformed the other models. The model achieved an AUC of 0.93 (95%CI 0.88-0.99), sensitivity of 79.2% (95% CI 57.9-92.9%), and specificity of 86.1% (95%CI 70.5-95.3%). The top five ranked predictors were age, weight, preoperative GERD, size of orogastric tube, and distance of first stapler firing from the pylorus.
    Conclusion: An AI-based model for the prediction of GERD after SG was developed. The model had excellent accuracy, yet a moderate sensitivity and specificity. Further prospective multicenter trials are needed to externally validate the model developed.

    Abstract Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate urinary dysfunction and its impact on the quality of life of colorectal cancer survivors. We also wanted to identify the risk factors for impaired urinary function.
    Method: A national cross-sectional study was performed including patients treated for colorectal cancer between 2001 and 2014. Patients answered questionnaires regarding urinary function and quality of life, including the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (ICIQ-FLUTS), measuring filling, voiding and incontinence. Data were compared with data on demographics and treatment-related factors from the Danish Colorectal Cancer Group (DCCG) database.
    Results: We found that rectal cancer treatment significantly impaired urinary function compared with colon cancer treatment (filling score p = 0.003, voiding p < 0.0001, incontinence p = 0.0001). Radiotherapy was the single most influential risk factor for high filling (p = 0.0043), voiding (p < 0.0001) and incontinence (p < 0.0001) scores, whereas type of rectal resection was only significant in crude analysis. Urinary dysfunction was strongly associated with an impaired quality of life.
    Conclusion: Urinary dysfunction is common after treatment for colorectal cancer, particularly if the treatment includes radiotherapy. All patients must be informed of the risk before cancer treatment, and functional outcome should be routinely assessed at follow-up.
