    Abstract Sarcopenia is an increasingly frequent syndrome characterized by generalized and progressive loss of muscle mass, reduction in muscle strength, and resultant functional impairment. This condition is associated with increased risk of falls and fractures, disability, and increased risk of death. When a sarcopenic patient undergoes major surgery, it has a higher risk of complications and postoperative mortality because of less resistance to surgical stress. It is not easy to recognize a sarcopenic patient preoperatively, but this is essential to evaluate the correct risk to benefit ratio. The role of sarcopenia in surgical patients has been studied for both oncological and non-oncological surgery. For correct surgical planning, data about sarcopenia are essential to design a correct tailored treatment.

    Abstract Introduction: Current use of antimicrobial therapy is prophylactic, empirical and broad spectrum. But, the age-old practice of obtaining cultures still remain. The aim of this study was to evaluate bacterial etiology and adequacy of antibiotic prophylaxis in patients diagnosed with acute appendicitis to help determine the utility of intraoperative cultures in guiding clinical decision-making.
    Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis of a prospectively constructed database of all patients who underwent appendectomy from September 2013 to November 2016 was performed.
    Results: 456 patients underwent surgery for acute appendicitis in our academic hospital. 101 patients (22.1%) had intraoperative swabs taken, and the cultures were positive in 57.4% of patients. These 101 patients comprise our study group. The most commonly recovered species were E. coli, Streptococcus spp., Bacteroides fragilis, Enterococcus faecium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Proteus. In the comparison between positive and negative swab, there were no differences in terms of surgical site infection, deep infection, and in terms of Clavien-Dindo classification. An appropriate empiric therapy was set in 88.5% and inappropriate in 11.5%. No differences in terms of surgical site infection or in length of stay (p = 0.657) were found, with a median of 7 days in both groups.
    Conclusion: The etiological agents causing peritonitis due to acute appendicitis are predictable and empiric-targeted antibiotic therapy is effective in a high percentage of patients. The postoperative patient outcome may be dependent on the severity of the appendicitis more than on the results of the swab at the time of surgery. In this study, intraoperative culture was not associated with the choice of antibiotics, incidence of SSI, DPI or the length of stay.

    Abstract Elderly patients with rectal tumor are often undertreated if compared to younger ones. The reasons for this attitude are not fully clear.The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of radical treatments for rectal cancer in subjects with an age ≥ 75 years (group 1) and to compare short- and long-term outcomes of these patients with patients with an age of less that 75 years (group 2). 311 consecutive patients who underwent radical surgery for rectal cancer were evaluated. A propensity-matching analysis on short- and long-term outcomes was conducted to compare older and younger patients. Overall postoperative complication rate was 23.8% (19/80) in the group 2 and 33.8% (27/80) in group 1 (p = 0.162). OS at 1, 3 and 5 years was 96.2%, 88.4% and 75.9% in under 75 and 92.5%, 64.3% and 50.6% in over 75 group, respectively (p = 0.001). However, TSS was considered, no significant difference was found. Major complications were comparable within groups: 10 (12.5%) versus 11 (13.8%) in groups 2 and 1, respectively (p = 0.633). This study suggests that major rectal cancer surgery with curative intent should not be denied to an elderly population on the basis of age alone. Specific oncologic features and comorbidities are better long-term mortality predictors than aging.

    Abstract Background: Liver metastases are present in 20.3% of metastatic kidney cancers. The aim of this literature review was to assess the efficacy of surgical treatment for hepatic metastasis from kidney cancer.
    Methods: An extended web search of the literature was independently performed in March 2018 by two authors according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement.
    Results: Through electronic searches, we identified 935 potentially relevant citations. Thirteen articles were finally included in the systematic review. Median survival after resection ranged from 15 to 142 months while the 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival ranged from 69% to 100%, 26% to 83.3% and 0% to 62%, respectively. Median disease-free survival ranged from 7.2 to 27 months.
    Conclusion: Surgical treatment of hepatic metastases is performed in approximately 1% of patients with liver metastases and in select patients may be potentially curative. Surgical resection of liver metastases from kidney cancer represents a valid option for selected patients with metastatic renal cancer.

    Abstract Backgrounds: COVID-19 has grown rapidly in Lombardy, particularly in the province of Bergamo. To deal with the pressure the pandemic has exerted on the Italian health system; many hospitals have had to reorganize their medical and surgical activities. The aim of this study was to evaluate how the pandemic influenced the emergency department and urgent surgical activity in a medium-size hospital in the province of Bergamo. Methods: In this retrospective observational study, we analyzed the number of admissions to the medical and surgical Emergency Room and their severity compared with those in the same period in previous years (2011-2019). Admission in the medical and surgical department and urgent surgical operation was also assessed. Results: From March 7th to April 5th, 2020, we observe a reduction in emergency department access (-53%) when compared with the corresponding period of previous years. The number of medical admissions was similar to the past years (+0.9%), we observed a drastic reduction of surgical patients (-82.5%). We experienced a significant increase in hospitalizations in the medical department (+359%) and a reduction of admission in the surgical department (- 71.2%). Conclusion: SARS-CoV2 disease has spread so suddenly and severely that it has stressed Italian health system, in particular the Lombard one. Our data show the rise of critical medical ER accesses and the significant expansion in hospitalisation in the medical department with the necessary hospital reorganisation to face COVID-19 emergency. We also observed a reduction in both surgical ER accesses and urgent surgical activity.

    Abstract Purposes: We sought to investigate the accuracy of abdominal CT scanning for anastomotic leakage and the effect of false-negative scans on the delay in therapeutic intervention and clinical outcome.
    Method: Data from a prospectively bi-institutionally maintained database of all patients who underwent elective colorectal surgery with primary anastomosis for malignant or benign disease between 2010 and 2017 were reviewed. Patients with confirmed anastomotic dehiscence at reintervention who underwent a postoperative CT scan for suspected leakage were identified and radiological reports were retrieved.
    Results: Seventy-six patients with anastomotic dehiscence were included in the study. American Society of Anesthesiologists score, sex, type of surgical procedure, malignancy, and type of anastomosis do not correlate with postoperative false-negative CT imaging. Postoperative false-negative CT scan, however, led to delayed reintervention (3 vs. 6 h, p = 0.023) and increased mortality (five deaths vs. no deaths, p = 0.043). Free abdominal air (p = 0.001) and extraluminal contrast extravasation (p = 0.001) were found to be predictive of accuracy in anastomotic leakage diagnosis.
    Conclusion: The suboptimal specificity of a postoperative CT scan in suspected anastomotic leakage after colorectal surgery can delay reintervention and increase mortality.

    Abstract Objective: Recently, there has been a burgeoning interest in the utilization of customized bariatric stents (CBS) for management of sleeve gastrectomy leak (SGL). We aimed to conduct a proportion meta-analysis to evaluate the cumulative efficacy and safety of these new stents and to compare them with the conventional esophageal stents (CES).
    Methods: A systematic literature search of the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases was conducted through May 1, 2020. Primary outcomes were technical and clinical success and post-procedure adverse events of CBS and CES. Secondary outcomes were number of stents and endoscopic sessions per patient, and time to leak closure. A proportion meta-analysis was performed on outcomes using a random-effects model, and the weighted pooled rates (WPRs) or mean difference with 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated.
    Results: The WPR with 95% CI of technical success, clinical success, and stent migration for CBS were 99% (93-100%) I
    Conclusions: In treatment of SGL, there is very low level evidence that CES are superior to CBS in terms of clinical success and migration rate, though may require more stent insertions and endoscopic procedures. The evidence however remains very uncertain. Perhaps relevant to some types of stents, CBS are promising; however design modification is strongly recommended to improve outcomes.

    Abstract Introduction: The Inflammatory fibroid polyp (IFP) is a mesenchymal polypoid lesion of the gastrointestinal tract that follows a benign course. Incidence is extremely low: from 0,1% to 2 %. Histologically, it consists of a sub mucous proliferation of vascolarized fibromuscolar tissue with a high eosinophils inflammatory infiltration. IFP can arise everywhere in the gastrointestinal tract but is described more frequently in the gastric antrum (70%).
    Case report: We report a case of a 71-year-old woman presented to our department with a worsening history of lack's appetite, nausea and early satiety. We performed a review of the literature from 1949 to 2011. 196 cases of IFPs were found.
    Conclusion: Clinical symptoms are heterogeneous and endoscopy's examination revealed only presence of a sub-mucosal lesion, and their biopsies often gave not diagnostic localization. In the differential diagnosis, it's important to discern between eosinophilic gastroenteritis, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, inflammatory pseudotumor, hemangioendothelioma, and hemangiopericytoma. Eco-endoscopic appearance and biopsies associated may provide useful informations, that can steer to the diagnostic suspect of IFP. Despite this is a benign lesion, this one often needs a surgical excision on healthy margin. In literature is also described high local recurrence, specially when incomplete excision proceeded.
