    Abstract Aim: Ectopic liver tissue is a rare clinical entity; very few cases of extra peritoneal localization have been described in Literature.
    Material of study: A 54 years old male patient was admitted to our Institution because of thoraco - abdominal pain (lower left chest, left hypochondrium), and fever; CEA and CA 19-9 were in range, but alpha fetoprotein levels were high (880 IU / L); CT scan and NMR showed a thoraco - abdominal mass developing from the left hemidiaphragm, with infiltration of the cranial part of the spleen; no primitive liver tumors have been detected. A jejunal mesentery mass (6 cm in diameter) was also incidentally diagnosed.
    Results: The patient underwent surgical resection of the thoraco - abdominal tumor and of the mesenteric mass.
    Histology: hepatocellular carcinoma arising from ectopic islet of liver tissue on left hemidiaphragm; mesenteric desmoid tumor.
    Conclusions: The case we have observed showed a coexistence of two very rare tumors; carcinogenesis on ectopic liver should be suspected in this patient with a thoraco-abdominal mass with high alpha fetoprotein levels, in absence of primitive liver chronic diseases and cancer.

    Abstract Objectives: To assess the feasibility of a new surgical technique for the resection of the distal third of the esophagus and/or cardias for neoplasm.
    Methods: This surgical technique consists of two steps: For this purpose we built a stainless steel support bar for the anvil that is thinner than the freespace of a standard linear suturing stapler (TATM). The support bar holds up a push rod that can be adapted to the hooking-unhooking of the anvil.
    Results: We performed our new technique on five cadavers. We did not encounter any difficulty during the procedures. We tested the anastomosis with hydropneumatic assessment without recording any leaks. The esophago-enteric anastomosis was then opened without finding any mechanical defects related to the procedure.
    Conclusion: It can often be very difficult to fashion a safe hand-sewn pouch or a purse string around the anvil of an EEATM during the resection of the distal third of the esophagus or the cardias by a trans-hiatal approach. Moreover, there is no standardized procedure to minimize anastomotic leak. To avoid these mechanical problems we designed this innovative procedure, which is considered to be reproducible without significant training.

    Abstract Colonic varices are an infrequent cause of rectal bleeding and haematochezia and they are often related to portal hypertension due to either haepatopathy or any other cause of obstruction of the portal circulation. A 20-year-old patient was studied after she suffered a serious episode of rectal bleeding, followed by syncope. In view of her clinical picture of serious rectal bleeding, which could not be kept under control by means of medical therapy or endoscopy, the patient underwent total video laparoscopic colectomy surgery with ileum-rectum anastomosis. The histological examination revealed prominent ectasia presence of venous vessels under the mucosa. Colonic varices are one of the most common causes of low gastroenteric bleeding and in most cases they are caused by portal hypertension or intestinal occlusion. In less common cases, they are caused by thrombosis of the splenic vein, cardiac insufficiency, venous mesenteric thrombosis, extrinsic compression on tumoral invasion. Idiopathic colonic varices are described in the literature as the cause of low gastroenteric bleeding in not more than 20 patients. Therapeutic options are conservative follow-up or surgery. As it happened in our case, surgery is generally the chosen treatment, in view of the risk of recurring bleeding, the young age of patients and the low degree of co-morbidity of patients. The prognosis for surgery of idiopathic colonic varices is very good at any age when compared with the one for the treatment of varices caused by cirrhosis of the liver, thus confirming the importance of diagnosing idiopathic varices, only after having ruled out the presence of other basic pathologies.

    Abstract Aim: Surgical resection usually represents the treatment of choice for solitary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in cirrhotic patients, with well preserved liver function; local ablative strategies are the best treatment option for patients with small tumors who are not candidates for surgical resection or liver transplantation. Several studies showed that percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has similar efficacy to surgical nodulectomy in the treatment of early-stage HCC, and is associated with lower complication rates and costs than resection. The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of these treatments, in terms of morbidity, overall survival, tumor recurrence and causes of death.
    Methods: Between January 2006 and January 2012 we observed 176 patients affected by HCC, 84 underwent curative treatment. The 40 patients presenting single HCC nodes smaller than 3 cm in diameter have been treated with radiofrequency-assisted surgical nodulectomy (N.=20) or with percutaneous radiofrequency (N.=20).
    Results: No perioperative mortality occurred in the two groups. Perioperative morbidity was 5% in group A (1 case of peritoneal bleeding) and 5% in group B (1 case of hepatic abscess). Disease-free survival was slightly higher in surgically treated patients, but not statistically significative differences have been demonstrated (P<0.06); no local recurrences were observed in surgically treated patients.
    Conclusion: RF and surgical nodulectomy can be either used in treatment of early stage hepatocellular carcinoma; no differences in terms of morbidity, overall and disease free survival were observed; nodulectomy seems to prevent from tumor local recurrence.

    Abstract Aim: Adrenal gland metastasis are the second most common type of adrenal mass lesions after adenomas and they could be related to numerous malignancies; Literature shows that adrenal metastasis deriving from colorectal cancer are very rare.
    Material of the study: A 71-year old - male patient, treated two years before with right colectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy for right colon cancer, came to our attention after the diagnosis at follow up, of a left adrenal gland mass; CT scan and CT - PET did not show other pathological findings.
    Results: The patient underwent left adrenalectomy with trans-peritoneal laparoscopic approach: the definitive histological examination diagnosed metastatic tissue of colonic cancer in left adrenal gland.
    Conclusions: Adrenal gland metastases are common clinical entities, but which of them arise starting from colonic cancer are very rare and they are generally discovered about 1 year after the first diagnosis of cancer. Early diagnosis, laparoscopic radical excision when feasible and eventual adjuvant radio-chemotherapy are actually the proper clinical management of adrenal gland metastases finalized to better outcomes in terms of longer survival rate and quality of life.

    Title translation Open radiofrequency liver resection: technical details.
    Abstract Aim: Radiofrequency (RF) for the treatment of hepatic neoplasms can be performed through percutaneous, laparoscopic or open surgery. The aim of this study was to point out the details of the role of open RF (ORF).
    Methods: Between November 2002 and November 2003, we performed 13 ORFs. Seven patients had an association with chronic liver cirrhosis. With the aid of intraoperative single, internally cooled needle RF, 12 liver resections were performed (7 subsegmentectomies, 3 segmentectomies, 1 left lateral lobectomy, and 1 right lobectomy). In 1 case RF was applied directly to the tumor lesion. In all cases ultrasonography (US) was performed intraoperatively, other lesions were found in 7.7% of the cases. RF energy was applied along the margins of the tumor to create <<zones of necrosis>> before resection with a scalpel.
    Results: Average operating time for ORF alone was 74.4 minutes (range 30-115 minutes). Mean intraoperative blood loss during the procedure was 104 mL (range 25-250 mL), and blood transfusions were required in 3 patients. Mean hospital stay was 7.9 days (range 6-10 days). Only minor complications were found, and no mortality was observed. No liver recurrence was detected during mean follow-up of 6 months.
    Conclusions: This technique is suitable for patients who are at risk of bleeding because it offers a new method for transfusion-free resection, reducing postoperative complications and shorter long-term survival. Adequate follow-up is necessary to judge its true efficacy, in terms of recurrence and survival.
