    Abstract Background: International register of open abdomen (IROA) enrolls patients from several centers in American, European, and Asiatic continent. The aim of our study is to compare the characteristics, management and clinical outcome of adult patients treated with OA in the three continents.
    Material and methods: A prospective analysis of adult patients enrolled in the international register of open abdomen (IROA).
    Trial registration: NCT02382770.
    Results: 1183 patients were enrolled from American, European and Asiatic Continent. Median age was 63 years (IQR 49-74) and was higher in the European continent (65 years, p < 0.001); 57% were male. The main indication for OA was peritonitis (50.6%) followed by trauma (15.4%) and vascular emergency (13.5%) with differences among the continents (p < 0.001). Commercial NPWT was preferred in America and Europe (77.4% and 52.3% of cases) while Barker vacuum pack (48.2%) was the preferred temporary abdominal closure technique in Asia (p < 0.001). Definitive abdominal closure was achieved in 82.3% of cases in America (fascial closure in 90.2% of cases) and in 56.4% of cases in Asia (p < 0.001). Prosthesis were mostly used in Europe (17.3%, p < 0.001). The overall entero-atmospheric fistula rate 2.5%. Median open abdomen duration was 4 days (IQR 2-7). The overall intensive care unit and hospital length-of-stay were, respectively, 8 and 11 days (no differences between continents). The overall morbidity and mortality rates for America, Europe, and Asia were, respectively, 75.8%, 75.3%, 91.8% (p = 0.001) and 31.9%, 51.6%, 56.9% (p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: There is no uniformity in OA management in the different continents. Heterogeneous adherence to international guidelines application is evident. Different temporary abdominal closure techniques in relation to indications led to different outcomes across the continents. Adherence to guidelines, combined with more consistent data, will ultimately allow to improving knowledge and outcome.

    Abstract Background: The literature supports the use of graduated compression stockings (GCS) for leg edema. Nevertheless, there is a paucity of data on the GCS effect on limb edema related to sitting, standing, and walking. Data of different limb shapes and their impact on GCS-exerted pressure are lacking. This investigation provides evidence-based information on the effect of GCS on edema reduction and the impact of limb circumference gradients on GCS pressure.
    Methods: Thirty healthy individuals (15 men and 15 women; mean age, 32 ± 5 years) were included. All the participants underwent lower limb volume (Kuhnke formula) measurement, before and after sitting for 30 minutes, wearing below-ankle noncompressive socks. The same assessment was repeated 7 days later, in the same participants, but with wearing of below-knee 16 to 20 mm Hg GCS. At 7-day intervals, 1 week with below-ankle noncompressive socks and 1 week with below-knee 16 to 20 mm Hg GCS, all the participants repeated the same protocol including standing and walking. Ten participants underwent bioimpedance assessment (Biody Xpert II; eBIODY, La Ciotat, France) before and after sitting, standing, and walking. In the same group, B and B1 interface pressure values were measured.
    Results: Data collection was completed in all 60 limbs. Sitting or walking without GCS led to no significant volume changes, whereas volume was decreased by the use of GCS (-4.8% [P < .00001] and -4.4% [P < .00001], respectively). Standing up without GCS led to an increase in volume (2.7%; P < .0001), whereas limb volume was decreased (4.6%; P < .0001) by use of GCS. Bioimpedance showed extracellular water reduction only while walking with GCS (from 40.55% ± 1.66% to 40.45% ± 1.71%; P < .017). Mean interface pressure was 19 ± 5 mm Hg (B) and 16 ± 5 mm Hg (B1). The interface pressure variation from B to B1 was not homogeneous among participants (mean percentage variation of -13% ± 25%, ranging from -54% to 16%). A negative linear trend between pressure variation and circumference percentage increase was found; the subanalysis excluding the two outliers showed a strong negative linear correlation (Pearson coefficient r = -0.96).
    Conclusions: GCS led to a significant limb volume reduction irrespective of limb position and muscle pump function. However, extracellular fluid is mobilized only during muscle contraction while walking with GCS. Interestingly, different lower limb circumference variations influence the interface pressure gradient, indicating the importance of proper fitting of both B and B1 during prescription. These data provide a foundation to future investigations dealing with GCS effect on fluid mobilization and with limb geometry impact on compression performance.

    Abstract Background aims: Preclinical and observational reports indicate that adipose tissue (AT) is a safe and promising tool to treat non-healing venous leg ulcers (VLUs).
    Methods: From an initial cohort of 38 patients, 16 patients affected by non-healing VLUs were randomly allocated to the experimental arm (5 men and 3 women) and control arm (5 men and 3 women). In the experimental arm, wounds were treated by debridement, centrifuged adipose tissue (CAT), advanced dressings and compression. No experimental treatment (CAT) was administered to the control arm. We investigated the functional and the immunophenotypical features of the harvested CAT-derived stem cells. The primary outcome measures were healing time and safety of the cell treatment. Secondary outcomes were pain evaluated by numeric rating scale (NRS), complete wound healing at 24 weeks by Margolis Index and wound-healing process expressed in square centimeters per week. The various immunophenotypic and functional characteristics of CAT-derived stem cells were then correlated with the clinical outcomes.
    Results: No major adverse events were recorded. The healing time was significantly faster by applying CAT, 17.5 ± 7.0 weeks versus 24.5 ± 4.9 weeks recorded in the control arm (P < 0.036). NRS dropped after the first week to 2.7 ± 2.0 in the experimental arm versus 6.6 ± 3.0 in the control group (P < 0.01). The rate of healing at the 24th week was not significantly different between arms. Interestingly, we found a strong reverse correlation between the percent of CD34
    Conclusions: CAT is safe and may accelerate healing time in VLUs as well as reduce wound pain. The percentage of CD34

    Abstract Objective: Despite the modern appeal of wearing compressive garments during physical activities, the literature is lacking in quality data and controversial in the investigations dealing with the pathophysiologic mechanism by which graduated compression stockings (GCS) affect the calf pump activation in healthy individuals. The aim of the investigation was to provide insight into the clinical effects of GCS use during a standardized walking exercise.
    Methods: Twenty physically active healthy volunteers (mean age, 34 ± 5 years; body mass index, 22 ± 2 kg/m
    Results: All individuals had normal venous and arterial ultrasound examination findings. No significant postural defects were reported. Both legs were assessed in all 20 individuals for a total of 40 cases with and 40 cases without GCS. In the baseline group, the median (interquartile range) lower limb volume changed from 2496 (770) mL before exercise to 2512 (805) mL (P = .2597) after exercise. The compression group reported a significant lower limb volume change from 2466 (670) mL before exercise to 2276 (567) mL (P = .0001) after exercise. Mean perceived exertion was 13 (11) and 11 (1) in the baseline and compression groups, respectively (P = .0001). The interface pressure exerted by the GCS was 24 (2) mm Hg. No complaints in terms of discomfort were reported after use of GCS.
    Conclusions: In healthy individuals, GCS (24 [2] mm Hg) use during a continuous standardized walk of 30 minutes is associated with a significant decrease in lower limb volume and a decrease in perceived exertion. The mechanism by which GCS impart their effect during physical activity may involve improved muscle pump function and reductions in inflammatory pathways. Further study will need to validate the mechanisms of the function of GCS used during physical exercise.

    Abstract Abdominal adhesions (AA) account for the most common complication of peritoneal surgery with bowel obstruction being the severest problem in the absence of effective predicting biomarkers. Anti-AA-barriers or adhesiolysis did not completely prevent bowel obstruction, although there is evidence they might reduce related complications requiring reoperation. In addition, gender-related predispositions have not been adequately investigated. We explored the role of coagulation Factor XIII (F13A1 and F13B subunit-genes) in patients following laparotomy, mostly median/lower median incision line. Globally, 426 patients (54%,♀), were PCR-SNP-genotyped for FXIIIA V34L (rs5985), FXIIIA P564L (rs5982), FXIIIA Y204F (rs3024477) and FXIIIB H95R (rs6003). Patients' clinical phenotypes were: Group-A (n = 212), those who developed AA, and 55.2% of them developed bowel obstruction (subgroup-A1), the remaining were subgroup-A2; Group B (n = 214) were those who did not develop AA (subgroup-B1; 53.3%) or symptoms/complications (subgroup-B2). Among different laparotomy, colon surgery associated with AA at a major extent (OR = 5.1; 3.24-7.8; P < 0.0001) with different gender scores (♀OR = 5.33; 2.32-12.23; P < 0.0001 and ♂OR = 3.44; 1.58-7.49; P < 0.0001). Among SNPs, P564L (OR = 4.42; 1.45-13.4; P = 0.008) and Y204F (OR = 7.78; 1.62-37.3; P = 0.01) significantly predicted bowel obstruction and survival-analyses yielded interesting gender distinctions (♀HR = 5.28; 2.36-11.8; P = 0.00005; ♂HR = 2.22; 1.31-3.85; P = 0.0034). Active compounds preventing AA belong to the anticoagulant/fibrinolysis areas, suggesting them candidate investigation targets. We identified novel prognostic markers to predict AA/bowel obstruction giving insights to design novel therapeutic and gender prevention programs.

    Abstract Objectives The present review represents a translational boundary between basic research and surgery, particularly focusing on the promising application of adipose-derived stem cells harvested intra-operatively during debridement of venous leg ulcers. Methods We reviewed 830 out of 5578 articles on MEDLINE starting from 1997 and sorted by the relevance option. Results The technique currently used for adipose-derived stem cells intra-operative harvesting is presented, including a safety evaluation on a cohort of 5089 revised patients who underwent plastic surgery and maxillo-facial surgical procedures. Complications were reported in 169 cases (3.3%). One hundred and forty-one (2.77%) patients were classified as having minor complications, specifically: nodularity/induration 93 (1.83%), dysesthesia 14 (0.26%), hematoma 12 (0.23%), superficial infection 11 (0.21%), pain 7 (0.13%), poor cosmesis 3 (0.06%), and abnormal breast secretion 1 (0.02%), while 28 patients (0.55%) were classified as having major complications, specifically: deep infection 22 (0.43%), sepsis 3 (0.06%), abdominal hematoma 2 (0.04%), and pneumothorax 1 (0.02%). Application of cell therapy in venous leg ulcer is currently used only for patients not responding to the standard treatment. The review shows the lack of randomized clinical trials for application of adipose-derived stem cells among treatments for venous leg ulcer. Finally, adipose-derived stem cells implantation at the wound site promotes a new tissue formation rich in vascular structures and remodeling collagen. Conclusion Adipose-derived stem cells strategy represents a great opportunity for the treatment of chronic wounds, due to the simplicity of the technique and the application of cell treatment in the operating room immediately following debridement. However, clinical studies and data from randomized trials are currently lacking.

    Abstract Objective: There are very few evidences about safety and usefulness of routine prophylactic ureteral stenting (PUS) before cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).
    Material and methods: An analysis of prospectively collected data about patients who underwent CRS and HIPEC for different sites of primary disease was carried out focusing on ureteral complications.
    Results: A total of 138 patients who underwent CRS and HIPEC between December 2010 and June 2017 were considered. All patients underwent PUS before CRS and HIPEC. Of them, 91 (66.4%) patients received pelvic peritonectomy, 49 (35.8%) pelvic lymphadenectomy, 31 (22.6%) left hemicolectomy, 44 (32.4%) right hemicolectomy, 46 (33.6%) rectal resection, 56 (40.9%) hysteroannessiectomy, and 39 (28.5%) appendectomy. There was one (0.7%) postoperative ureteral fistula. The cumulative risk of ureteral stent-related major complications was 4.3% (two patients (1.4%) had protracted gross hematuria, two patients (1.4%) had urinary sepsis, and three patients (2.9%) developed hydronephrosis after a period from removing ureteral stents and required restenting. Morbidity due to ureteral stenting was associated with a longer length of stay (LOS) (p=0.053). A total of 52 patients (44.1%) developed renal dysfunction according to the RIFLE (Risk, Injury, Failure, Loss of kidney function, End-stage kidney-disease) criteria: 19.5% were in risk class, 10.2% in acute renal injury class, and 14.4% in acute renal failure class.
    Conclusion: PUS could be a useful tool for reducing iatrogenic ureteral injury, but it is associated with a non-negligible morbidity, which implies longer LOS. A more accurate patient selection for PUS is necessary.

    Abstract Acute appendicitis has been considered by surgeons a progressive disease leading to perforation for more than 100 years. In the last decades the theories about this concept gained attention, especially in adults. However, appendectomy for acute appendicitis remains the most common urgent/emergent surgical procedure. At present, accumulating evidences are showing the changing in clinical practice towards the non-operative management of several cases of acute appendicitis either non-complicated or complicated. The present review aims to show the literature results regarding the non-operative management of acute appendicitis in non-complicated and in complicated cases.

    Abstract Aim: Acute diverticulitis is a frequent disease in the Western Countries. The increase number of patients admitted in the Surgery Departments led the necessity of new Scores and Classifications in order to clarify, in absence of clear guidelines, the best treatments to offer in the different situations.
    Methods: A retrospective study of ninety-nine patients treated in our Department from June 2010 and March 2015.
    Results: In our study 41 patients were treated conservatively, the remaining 58 were operated, 56 laparotomic and 2 laparoscopic. 5 patients submitted US guided drainage of abscess which failed in 2 cases. 25 submitted Hartmann's Procedure (HP), 29 Primary Resection and Anastomosis (PRA), 3 Contemporary Closure of Perforated Diverticula (CC) and just 2 Laparoscopic Peritoneal Lavage and Drainage (LPL). We related different Hinchey groups and up-groups with the treatments approached, identifying patients risk factors, ASA score and complications.
    Discussion: The treatment of perforated diverticulitis is debated. CT scan is becoming an useful instrument to make a correct diagnosis. Hinchey I and II patients are preferentially treated conservatively except in cases of complicated presentations. Hinchey III and IV are necessarily treated with surgical approach. We analyze the different types of intervention currently approached.

Many studies are ongoing concerning LPL and now there are insufficient data to think of a widespread use of this technique. Key words: CT scan, Diverticular Disease, Hartmann's Procedure, Intr-abdominal abscess, Laparoscopic Peritoneal Lavage and Drainage (LPL), Peritonitis, Primary Resection and Anastomosis (PRAHinchey Classification, US and CT guided drainage.
