    Abstract Introduction: Stapled anopexy is considered the gold standard in treating haemorroidal disease associated to mucosal prolapse, but severe complications have been described. Among these, a minimal anastomotic leakage may lead to gas spreading into surrounding soft tissues.
    Case report: We report the case of a 61 year old male who developed pneumoretroperitoneum and pneumomediastinun two days after a Stapled Anopexy. CT scans showed a minimal leakage with no abscess. The patient was successfully treated by bowel rest, antibiotics and total parenteral nutrition, avoiding surgical approach.
    Conclusion: A minimal anastomotic leakage following Stapled Anopexy, when leading to air diffusion into soft tissues and not associated to abscess or peritonitis may be treated conservatively avoiding ileostomy or colostomy.
    Key words: Anastomotic leakage, Pneumoretroperitoneum, Stapled Anopexy.

    Abstract Background: Desmoid tumor is a rare soft tissues neoplasia characterized by local invasiveness and by a tendency towards local recurrence although not towards metastasization.
    Discussion: Etiology is not clear. Desmoid tumors originate from the monoclonal proliferation of one mesenchymal cell and develop in the context of fascial, muscular and aponeurotic tissue. They are free of capsule and do not usually metastatize, although they do present a high risk of local recurrence CONCLUSION: In the absence of a systematic data collection and of a clear distinction, in the existing databases, between primitive and recurrent lesions and between lesions of different sites, there are no standard guidelines for a correct management of desmoids.
    Key words: Aggressive fibromatos Desmoid tumor, Soft tissue neoplasia.

    Abstract Introduction: Perianal giant condyloma acuminatum is a rare clinical condition related to human papillomavirus infection and characterized by a circumferential, exophytic, cauliflower-like mass with an irregular warty surface localized in the anal region.
    Technique: A circular incision with a diathermocoagulator was performed on macroscopically healthy skin, 1 cm from the margin of the lesion. The dermis was divided from the subcutaneous tissue. This way, a mucocutaneous cylinder including the whole lesion was obtained. A median radial incision was carried out to open the cylinder at its front. A progressive circumferential section on healthy mucosa (≈1 cm above the margin of the lesion) by means of a radiofrequency dissector allowed for the complete removal of the mass. The healthy mucosa of the anal canal was pulled out by Allis forceps and was sutured to the external margin of the internal sphincter with single layer of Vicryl (polyglactin 910) 2-0 sutures.
    Results: Two months after surgery, no findings of anal stenosis or mucosal ectropion were reported. At the 1-year follow-up there was no recurrence of condylomatosis in any of the 3 cases.
    Conclusions: Our procedure seems simpler to perform when compared with other techniques and reduces hospital stay and complications such as anal stenosis and mucosal ectropion.

    Abstract Background: Previous Literature has never evaluated the effectiveness of fiber intake after surgery for obstructed defecation in improving residual constipation and defecation urgency.
    Methods: From May 2010 to June 2011, 65 patients were randomly assigned to either the active group (N.=32) or placebo group (N.=33) receiving 3.5 g/day of pure Psyllium fiber or inert compound respectively. During the 6-month follow-up score systems were evaluated: Longo's Obstructed Defecation Syndrome Score, Cleveland Constipation Score; Wexner incontinence Score and Visual Analogic Scale. We also recorded the incidence of postoperative defecation urgency.
    Results: Active group reported less constipation at 1 week (ODS: 6.25±3.55 vs. 11.94±4.99, P<0.01-CCS: 6.59±2.65 vs. 15.10±3.33, P<0.01) and 6 months (ODS: 3.40±5.26 vs. 4.97±4.21, P<0.05-CCS: 5.00±3.82 vs. 6.63±3.68; P<0.01). Wexner Score was better at t-test in the treatment group (difference from baseline: 0.5 vs. 2.70, P<0.01 after 1 week and -0.17 vs. 1.33, P<0.01 after 6 months). Defecation urgency was less frequent in the treatment group (15.62% vs. 42.42%, P<0.05 at the χ2 Test).
    Conclusions: Early treatment with Psyllium fiber improves early and 6 month results after stapled transanal rectal resection, both in terms of residual constipation and fecal incontinence. It also reduces postoperative defecation urgency.

    Abstract Background: We propose a new open mesh hernia repair procedure for the treatment of inguinal hernias in adults aiming to improve patients' comfort and to reduce the incidence of chronic neuralgia.
    Methods: From September 2012 to August 2015, 250 consecutive patients were treated with "all in-one" mesh hernioplasty procedure in our Institution. According to the devised technique, a new smaller prosthesis was placed on the floor of the inguinal canal in order to strengthen all areas of weakness from which hernias may originate. The mesh was enveloped by a fibro-cremasteric sheath avoiding contact with neural structures. Follow-up was carried out at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months for evaluation of postoperative pain using Visual Analogue Scale score, need of medication, patients' comfort and short or long-term complications.
    Results: All patients were discharged within 24 h from surgery. Slight pain was reported by the majority of patients and 47.6% of them did not require pain medication at home. After the 1st postoperative week 96.8% reported no pain and no other symptoms. No relevant limitation of normal activities was reported. There has been no postoperative neuralgia. One recurrence was observed.
    Conclusions: This new hernioplasty technique respects the anatomy of the inguinal canal, uses a smaller mesh, and seems to avoid neuralgia with maximum comfort for the patients.

    Abstract Background: Management of recurrence after surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma (rHCC) is still a debate. The aim was to compare the Survival after Recurrence (SAR) of curative (surgery or thermoablation) versus palliative (TACE or Sorafenib) treatments for patients with rHCC.
    Methods: This is a multicentric Italian study, which collected data between 2007 and 2018 from 16 centers. Selected patients were then divided according to treatment allocation in Curative (CUR) or Palliative (PAL) Group. Inverse Probability Weighting (IPW) was used to weight the groups.
    Results: 1,560 patients were evaluated, of which 421 experienced recurrence and were then eligible: 156 in CUR group and 256 in PAL group. Tumor burden and liver function were weighted by IPW, and two pseudo-population were obtained (CUR = 397.5 and PAL = 415.38). SAR rates at 1, 3 and 5 years were respectively 98.3%, 76.7%, 63.8% for CUR and 91.7%, 64.2% and 48.9% for PAL (p = 0.007). Median DFS was 43 months (95%CI = 32-74) for CUR group, while it was 23 months (95%CI = 18-27) for PAL (p = 0.017). Being treated by palliative approach (HR = 1.75; 95%CI = 1.14-2.67; p = 0.01) and having a median size of the recurrent nodule>5 cm (HR = 1.875; 95%CI = 1.22-2.86; p = 0.004) were the only predictors of mortality after recurrence, while time to recurrence was the only protective factor (HR = 0.616; 95%CI = 0.54-0.69; p<0.001).
    Conclusion: Curative approaches may guarantee long-term survival in case of recurrence.
