    Abstract Background: In the last 2 years, anorectal surgery has been strongly affected and even surgery for urgent cases cannot be scheduled; also, patients with III- and IV-degree bleeding hemorrhoids should be treated conservatively. The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of sclerotherapy in patients who had to postpone surgery.
    Methods: We included all patients with III- and IV-degree bleeding hemorrhoids who underwent outpatient sclerotherapy. The visual analog scale and the hemorrhoid severity score were used at the baseline and at 4 weeks after the procedure with a telephone interview, and all patients were outpatient-evaluated 1 week, 1 month, and 1 year after the treatment. All pre- and postoperative data were recorded.
    Results: From October 2020 to November 2021, 19 patients with III- (12 patients; 63%) and IV-degree (7 patients; 37%) bleeding hemorrhoids were enrolled. The mean operative time was 4.5 min, and no intraoperative complications occurred. One case of tenesmus and three failures were detected. Six months after the procedure, the overall success rate was 84%, although all of the patients enrolled reported persistent bleeding at the end of the study period. Of these, 5 patients (26%) were scheduled for surgery and 11 patients (58%) refused surgery and asked to undergo a re-do sclerotherapy.
    Conclusion: Sclerotherapy with 3% polidocanol foam is a safe and effective procedure also in III- and IV-degree bleeding hemorrhoids. The long-term data on the length of the foam remain to be evaluated in additional studies.

    Abstract The correlations between morbid obesity, bariatric surgery and gastrointestinal disorders are well known and reported. Symptoms like abdominal pain, constipation, bloating, heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease are known to be significantly more prevalent in overweight patients and body mass index is associated positively with abdominal pain and diarrhea. In spite of these conditions, less is known about the lower gastrointestinal tract. Of these, anorectal disorders and pelvic floor disease are both believed to be more frequent in obese patients compared to the general population. Weight loss related to bariatric surgery seems to improve quality of life and weight-related symptoms, although some of these conditions may get worse. All these conditions are rarely studied in patients undergoing bariatric surgery for morbid obesity. This concise review aimed to focus on these conditions in patients undergoing bariatric surgery for morbid obesity in order to improve patient selection and post-operative management.

    Abstract Colorectal cancer is a frequent neoplasm in western countries, mainly due to dietary and behavioral factors. Its incidence is growing in developing countries for the westernization of foods and lifestyles. An increased incidence rate is observed in patients under 45 years of age. In recent years, the mortality for CRC is decreased, but this trend is slowing. The mortality rate is reducing in those countries where prevention and treatments have been implemented. The survival is increased to over 65%. This trend reflects earlier detection of CRC through routine clinical examinations and screening, more accurate staging through advances in imaging, improvements in surgical techniques, and advances in chemotherapy and radiation. The most important predictor of survival is the stage at diagnosis. The screening programs are able to reduce incidence and mortality rates of CRC. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview of incidence, mortality, and survival rate for CRC.

    Abstract This article reports the results of a novel perioperative treatment implementing the gut microbiota to prevent anastomotic fistula and leakage (AL) in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal resections for cancer and represents the continuation of our pilot study on 60 cases. A series of 131 patients underwent elective colorectal surgery at the S. Eugenio Hospital (Rome-Italy) between December 1, 2020, and November 30, 2022, and received a perioperative preparation following the Microbiota Implementation to Reduce Anastomotic Colorectal Leaks (MIRACLe) protocol comprising oral antibiotics, mechanical bowel preparation and perioperative probiotics. The results obtained in the MIRACLe group (MG) were compared to those registered in a Control group (CG) of 500 patients operated on between March 2015 and November 30, 2020, who received a standard ERAS protocol. Propensity score-matching (PSM) analysis was performed to overcome patients' selection bias. Patients were categorised according to perioperative preparation (MIRACLe protocol vs standard ERAS protocol) into two groups: 118 patients were in post-matched MIRACLe group (pmMG) and 356 were in post-matched Control group (pmCG). In the pmMG, only 2 anastomotic leaks were registered, and the incidence of AL was just 1.7% vs. 6.5% in the pmCG (p = 0.044). The incidence of surgical site infections (1.7% vs. 3.1%; p = 0.536), reoperations (0.8% vs. 4.2%; p = 0.136) and postoperative mortality (0% vs. 2.0%; p = 0.200) was lower in pmMG. Additionally, the postoperative outcomes were better: the times to first flatus, to first stool and to oral feeding were shorter (1 vs. 2, 2 vs. 3 and 2 vs. 3 days, respectively; p < 0.001). The postoperative recovery was faster, with a shorter time to discharge (5 vs. 6 days; p < 0.001). The MIRACLe protocol was confirmed to be safe and significantly able to reduce anastomotic leaks in patients receiving elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery for cancer.

    Abstract To compare the short-term outcomes in patients who underwent laparoscopic right colectomy with a traditional minimally invasive approach versus patients who underwent a laparoscopic colectomy with an enhanced perioperative pathway. A retrospective analysis was conducted on a consecutive series of patients who underwent elective laparoscopic right colectomy for neoplastic disease between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2020. The patients were divided into two groups: the first cohort (FC), who underwent a traditional laparoscopic colectomy, mainly with extracorporeal anastomosis, between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2015 and the second cohort (SC), who underwent a laparoscopic colectomy with an enhanced intraoperative (intracorporeal anastomosis) and perioperative pathway (ERAS protocol) between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2020. There were a total of 361 patients, including 177 in the FC and 184 in the SC. In the SC a higher number of intracorporeal anastomoses was performed (91.8% vs. 19.2%, p < 0.001), drains were placed in 42 patients only (22.8% vs. 100% in the FC) and nasogastric tubes were placed in 21 patients only (11.4% vs. 100% in the FC). In the initial period of the SC. the procedures required a slightly longer operative time (median 105 vs. 95 min; p = 0.002), but postoperative surgical complications were lower (12% vs. 17.4%, p = 0.179). Postoperative recovery was faster in SC along with time to discharge (4 vs. 7 days; p < 0.001). Intraoperative anastomosis and enhanced pathways in right laparoscopic colectomy seem to guarantee better results with lower surgical complications and faster postoperative recovery.

Additionally, the postoperative recovery was faster, with a shorter time to discharge (4 vs. 6 days; p < 0.001). In this pilot study, the MIRACLe protocol appeared to be safe and considerably reduced anastomotic leaks in elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery for cancer, even if not statistically significant, due to the small number of cases.

    Abstract Laparoscopic colorectal surgery is categorized as clean-contaminated surgery. It is important to prevent incisional surgical site infections (SSIs), because SSIs can prolong hospital stays, increase medical costs and produce negative cosmetic outcomes for patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of subcuticular skin sutures following colorectal laparoscopic surgery in terms of wound infection rates and aesthetic results. A retrospective analysis on a database of a consecutive series of unselected patients was conducted. Patients underwent elective colorectal laparoscopic surgery in a single center between October 1st of 2016 and October 30th of 2017. Data on patients' demographics, operative details, short-term and long-term outcomes and aesthetic satisfaction were prospectively recorded. A total of 100 patients were selected and divided in 2 groups: 43 patients who had received subcuticular sutures, 57 patients who had received separate stitch sutures. Wound infection rates were lower, with no statistical significance in the subcuticular suture group (6.9% versus 15.8%, p = 0.182), but the patient-reported cosmetic results were superior in the subcuticular suture group (1.9 versus 2.9, p < 0.001). Multivariate analyses identified high BMI and low preoperative hemoglobin level as possible risk factors associated with wound infection after colorectal laparoscopic surgery. Subcuticular sutures could improve cosmetic results in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer with comparable risks of wound infection. In this population, high BMI and low preoperative hemoglobin levels appear to be risk factors associated with wound infections.

    Abstract Background: Efficient hemostatic techniques are essential in laparoscopic surgery for ideal intraoperative and postoperative results. A variety of advanced devices are available for the sealing of major vascular structures. The aim of this study is to assess effectiveness and safety of major vessel sealing with a radiofrequency device during laparoscopic colorectal resections for cancer based on the experience of a single hospital.
    Methods: Early outcomes of a consecutive series of patients who received elective laparoscopic colorectal resections for cancer over a 10-year period (January 2008-September 2017) are analyzed. In all procedures, the Ligasure® electrothermal bipolar device was used for the closure of the major colonic vessels and the dissection of all the structures. No other products such clips, staplers, hemostatic products, or other devices were used.
    Results: Seven-hundred fifty-nine procedures were performed in laparoscopy: 179 rectal resections, 247 sigmoidectomies and left hemicolectomies, 240 right hemicolectomies, 33 resections of the splenic flexure, 35 transverse colonic resections, and 25 other procedures. In 39 cases, the laparoscopic procedure was converted to open surgery, and in these cases, vessel sealing was also achieved with the radiofrequency device alone. Vessel dissection and sealing was realized in all cases without any intraoperative or postoperative bleeding. No reoperations for bleeding from major vessels were performed in any patients. One case of reoperation was recorded postoperatively, at 3 h after right hemicolectomy, due to a small bleeding from the fat of the transverse colon stump.
    Conclusions: The use of Ligasure® radiofrequency device for sealing and dividing the major colonic vessels is safe, fast, and effective during laparoscopic colorectal resections.

    Abstract Purpose: During the past months, the Italian Government has reduced the restrictions and access to hospitals as well as outpatient. Since then, up to 40% of non-traumatic abdominal emergencies have had unusual delayed treatment. Given the rapidly evolving situation and the absence of evidence to support recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is useful to assess how the current situation is influencing the management of elderly patients with acute appendicitis.
    Methods: Between February 2020 and December 2020, all patients 18 years or older undergone appendectomy were included. Patients were divided in two age-based groups (young groups, YG; elderly group, EG). Surgical approach, hospital stay, post-operative complications, radiology reports, and histologic examination were included in the retrospective analysis.
    Results: One hundred eight patients underwent appendectomy, 81 patients into the YG, and 27 in the EG. Laparoscopy was performed in 87.7% of the YG and in 51.8% of the elderly (p < 0.000), while conversion to laparotomy was necessary in 3.7% in the YG vs 22.3% of the other group (p < 0.009). Open procedures were more frequent in the EG, 25.9% vs 8.6% (p value < 0.05). No mortality rate was reported in both groups; moreover, the mean hospital stay was greater in the EG than the YG (p < 0.000).
    Conclusion: Our data highlighted a partial delay in diagnosis in the elderly group, and an increase in complicated appendicitis also demonstrated by the need for conversion to laparotomy despite no significant relationship between these findings and the histologic examination was reported.
