    Abstract Background: Evidence on early closure (EC) of defunctioning stoma (DS) after colorectal surgery shows a favorable effect when patients are carefully selected. Therefore, a clinical pathway adapted to the implementation of an EC strategy was developed in our center. The aim of this study was to carry out a comparative analysis of time until DS closure and DS-related morbidity before and after the implementation of an EC protocol (ECP).
    Methods: This study is a before-and-after comparative analysis. Patients were divided into two cohorts according to the observational period: patients from the period before the ECP implementation (January 2015-December 2019) [Period 1] and those from the period after that (January 2020-December 2022) [Period 2]. All consecutive patients subjected to elective DS closure within both periods were eligible. Early closure was defined as the reversal within 30 days from DS creation. Patients excluded from EC or those not closed within 30 days since primary surgery were analyzed as late closure (LC). Baseline characteristics and DS-related morbidity were recorded.
    Results: A total of 145 patients were analyzed. Median time with DS was shorter in patients after ECP implementation [42 (21-193) days versus 233 (137-382) days, p < 0.001]. This reduction in time to closure did not impact the DS closure morbidity and resulted in less DS morbidity (68.8% versus 49.2%, p = 0.017) and fewer stoma nurse visits (p = 0.029).
    Conclusions: The ECP was able to significantly reduce intervals to restoration of bowel continuity in patients with DS, which in turn resulted in a direct impact on the reduction of DS morbidity without negatively affecting DS closure morbidity.

    Abstract Case summary: A 37-year-old woman with no relevant past medical history presented to the emergency department after a 2-day-long period of crampy abdominal pain with an inability for oral intake because of persistent vomiting. The physical examination was unremarkable. Abdominal CT scan with water-soluble oral contrast revealed an ileocecal intussusception (Fig. 1). Because the patient was hemodynamically stable and no abdominal tenderness was found, a delayed surgical intervention was planned with laparoscopic approach. During intervention, the intestinal invagination was reduced, a cecal neoplasm suspected, and a right hemicolectomy with complete mesocolic excision was performed (Fig. 2). Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with discharge on postoperative day 5. The definite pathological report showed well-differentiated colon adenocarcinoma pT2N1aMx, with 1 of 49 positive lymph nodes.

    Abstract Introduction: Management of patients diagnosed of acute uncomplicated diverticulitis has evolved lately and according to the latest guidelines, outpatient treatment and management without antibiotherapy may be used in selected patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the adhesión among national centres to these and others recommendations related to this pathology.
    Methods: An online national survey, that has been broadcast by several applications, was performed. The results obtained were statistically analysed.
    Results: A total of 104 surgeons participated, representing 69 national hospitals. Of those, in 82.6% of the centres, outpatient management is performed for acute uncomplicated diverticulitis. 23.2% of the hospitals have a protocol stablished for treatment without antibiotherapy in selected patients. Centres that do not follow these protocols allege that the mean reasons are the logistic difficulties to set them up (49.3%) and the lack of current evidence for it (44.8%). Significative statistical differences have been found when comparing the establishment of such protocols between centres with advanced accredited units and those who are not, with higher rates of outpatient management and treatment without antibiotics in accredited units (p ≤ .05).
    Conclusions: In spite that this a very common disease, there is a huge national heterogeneity in its treatment. This is why it would adviseable to unify diagnostic and treatment criteria by the collaboration of scientific societies and the simplification of the development of hospitalary protocols.

    Abstract We present the case of a 25-year-old female who presented due to refractory chronic constipation and fecal incontinence. She had bowel movements every 7-30 days with an increased consistency (1-2 Bristol type stools), together with soiling and passive fecal incontinence (Wexner Scale: 12/20). She had previously undergone surgery shortly after birth for an anorectal malformation repair. The colonoscopy and histological study of the rectum were normal. A pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed, which showed a right pararectal mass that compressed the rectum without invading it. This mass was compatible with a presacral teratoma or hamartoma. MRI also revealed coccyx agenesis and hypoplasia of the last sacral vertebrae (Image 1), which were consistent with Currarino syndrome (CS). The patient received 14 sessions of transcutaneous electrostimulation of the posterior tibial nerve, resulting in an increase in bowel movements (every 3 days) and a reduction in fecal incontinence. She was then referred to surgery for presacral mass removal.

    Abstract Background: the ideal clinical profile of patients or fistula features for fistula laser closure (FiLaC®) technique remain to be established. The aim of this study was to analyze clinical outcomes and the safety profile of FiLaC® in search for an ideal setting for this technique.
    Methods: a retrospective observational study was performed from a prospective database including all consecutive patients who underwent surgery for anal fistula (AF) with FiLaC® in the coloproctology unit of a tertiary referral center, between October 2015 and December 2021. The FiLaC® procedure was offered to AF patients who were considered to be at risk of fecal incontinence. Fistulas were described according to Parks' classification and categorized as complex or simple according to the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) guidelines. Healing was defined by the closure of the internal and external openings for at least six months. Predictive factors of AF healing were investigated.
    Results: a total of 36 patients were included, with a mean age of 48 ± 13.9 years. Twenty patients (55.6 %) were male and 13 patients (36 %) had Crohn's disease (CD). Fourteen patients (38.8 %) had a complex fistula. The primary and secondary healing rates were 55.6 % and 91.7 %, respectively, during a median follow-up time of 12 months (IQR 7-29). No fecal continence impairment was registered in any case. The proportion of patients with primary healing was significantly higher in CD patients (76.9 % vs 43.5 %, p = 0.048).
    Conclusions: FiLaC® is a sphincter-preserving procedure with an excellent safety profile and reasonable success rate despite of the strict patient selection. This technique may be attractive for patients with CD due to its higher primary healing rate.

    Abstract Background: Use of antibiotics in selected cases of acute uncomplicated diverticulitis (AUD) has recently been questioned.
    Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the safety and efficacy of treatment regimens without antibiotics compared with that of traditional treatments with antibiotics in selected patients with AUD.
    Data sources: PubMed, Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library.
    Methods: A systematic review was performed according to PRISMA and AMSTAR guidelines by searching through Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) published before December 2022. The outcomes assessed were the rates of readmission, change in strategy, emergency surgery, worsening, and persistent diverticulitis.
    Study selection: RCTs on treating AUD without antibiotics published in English before December 2022 were included.
    Intervention: Treatments without antibiotics were compared with treatments with antibiotics.
    Main outcome measures: The outcomes assessed were the rates of readmission, change in strategy, emergency surgery, worsening, and persistent diverticulitis.
    Results: The search yielded 1163 studies. Four RCTs with 1809 patients were included in the review. Among these patients, 50.1% were treated conservatively without antibiotics. The meta-analysis showed no significant differences between nonantibiotic and antibiotic treatment groups with respect to rates of readmission [odds ratio (OR)=1.39; 95% CI: 0.93-2.06; P =0.11; I2 =0%], change in strategy (OR=1.03; 95% CI: 0.52-2,02; P =0.94; I2 =44%), emergency surgery (OR=0.43; 95% CI: 0.12-1.53; P =0.19; I2 =0%), worsening (OR=0.91; 95% CI: 0.48-1.73; P =0.78; I2 =0%), and persistent diverticulitis (OR=1.54; 95% CI: 0.63-3.26; P =0.26; I2 =0%).
    Limitations: Heterogeneity and a limited number of RCTs.
    Conclusions: Treatment for AUD without antibiotic therapy is safe and effective in selected patients. Further RTCs should confirm the present findings.

    Abstract Anecdotal evidence suggests that community infection control measures during the COVID-19 outbreak have modified the number and natural history of acute surgical inflammatory processes (ASIP-appendicitis, cholecystitis, diverticulitis and perianal abscesses) admissions. This study aims to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the presentation and treatment ASIP and quantify the effect of COVID-19 infection on the outcomes of ASIP patients. This was a multicentre, comparative study, whereby ASIP cases from 2019, 2020 and 2021 (March 14th to May 2nd) were analyzed. Data regarding patient and disease characteristics as well as outcomes, were collected from sixteen centres in Madrid, and one in Seville (Spain). The number of patients treated for ASIP in 2019 was 822 compared to 521 in 2020 and 835 in 2021. This 1/3rd reduction occurs mainly in patients with mild cases, while the number of severe cases was similar. Surgical standards suffered a step back during the first wave: Lower laparoscopic approach and longer length of stay. We also found a more conservative approach to the patients this year, non-justified by clinical circumstances. Luckily these standards improved again in 2021. The positive COVID-19 status itself did not have a direct impact on mortality. Strikingly, none of the 33 surgically treated COVID positive patients during both years died postoperatively. This is an interesting finding which, if confirmed through future research with a larger sample size of COVID-19 positive patients, can expedite the recovery phase of acute surgical services.
