    Abstract Background: The Tokyo Guidelines 2018 proposed fundus-first laparoscopic cholecystectomy (FFLC) as a bailout surgery. This study investigated the clinical impact of FFLC for severe cholecystitis.
    Methods: This study reviewed 772 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) between 2015 and 2018. Of these patients, 171 patients were diagnosed with severe cholecystitis according to our difficulty scoring system. FFLC was not prevalent in our faculty for the first 2 years [early period group (EG)], whereas FFLC was predominantly used for the last 2 years [late period group (LG)]. There were 81 patients (47%) belonging to the EG and 90 patients (53%) in the LG. The clinical data and the surgical outcomes of these patients were retrospectively analyzed.
    Results: The difficulty score did not differ between the two groups (11 vs. 11 points, p = 0.846). Patients underwent FFLC significantly more frequently in the LG (63% vs. 12%, p = 0.020). Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (LSC) was done in 10 patients (11%) of the LG, which was significantly low compared to that in the EG (n = 20, 25%) (p = 0.020). In all patients, LC was safely achieved without bile duct injury or conversion to laparotomy. The incidence of choledocholithiasis was significantly low in the LG (0 vs. 4, p = 0.048). The median postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter in the LG (6 vs. 4 days, p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: After the introduction of FFLC, there were significant improvements in the surgical outcomes of LC for severe cholecystitis, including the rate of LSC, incidence of choledocholithiasis, and duration of postoperative hospital stay.

    Abstract Background: A colosplenic fistula (CsF) is an extremely rare complication. Its diagnosis and management remain poorly understood, owing to its infrequent incidence. Our objective was to systematically review the etiology, clinical features, diagnosis, management, and prognosis to help clinicians gain a better understanding of this unusual complication and provide aid if it is to be encountered.
    Methods: A systematic review of studies reporting CsF diagnosis in Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Wiley Cochrane Library from 1946 to June 2022. Additionally, a retrospective review of four cases at our institution were included. Cases were evaluated for patient characteristics (age, sex, and comorbidities), CsF characteristics including causes, symptoms at presentation, diagnosis approach, management approach, pathology findings, intraoperative complications, postoperative complications, 30-day mortality, and prognosis were collected.
    Results: Thirty patients with CsFs were analyzed, including four cases at our institution and 26 single-case reports. Most of the patients were male (70%), with a median age of 56 years. The most common etiologies were colonic lymphoma (30%) and colorectal carcinoma (17%). Computed tomography (CT) was commonly used for diagnosis (90%). Approximately 87% of patients underwent a surgical intervention, most commonly segmental resection (81%) of the affected colon and splenectomy (77%). Nineteen patients were initially managed surgically, and 12 patients were initially managed nonoperatively. However, 11 of the nonoperative patients ultimately required surgery due to unresolved symptoms. The rate of postoperative complications was (17%). Symptoms resolved with surgical intervention in 25 (83%) patients. Only one patient (3%) had had postoperative mortality.
    Conclusions: Our review of 30 cases worldwide is the largest in literature. CsFs are predominantly complications of neoplastic processes. CsF may be successfully and safely treated with splenectomy and resection of the affected colon, with a low rate of postoperative complications.

    Abstract Background: Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is a technically demanding procedure with many potential complications. Rediversion with an ileostomy is often the first step in pouch salvage; however, it may not be clear if an individual patient will undergo subsequent pouch salvage surgery. We aimed to describe the indications and short- and long-term outcomes of rediversion in our pouch registry.
    Methods: We queried our institutional pouch registry for patients who underwent index 2- or 3-stage IPAA and subsequent rediversion at our institution between 1985 and 2022. Pouches constructed elsewhere, rediverted elsewhere, or those patients who underwent pouch salvage/excision without prior rediversion were excluded. Patients were selected for pouch salvage according to the surgeon's discretion.
    Results: Overall, 177 patients (3.4% of 5207 index pouches) were rediverted. At index pouch, median patient age was 32 years and 50.8% were women. Diagnoses included ulcerative colitis (86.4%), indeterminate colitis (6.2%), familial adenomatous polyposis (4.0%), and others (3.4%). Median time from prior ileostomy closure to rediversion was 7.2 years. Indications for rediversion were inflammatory in 98 (55.4%) and noninflammatory in 79 (44.6%) patients. After rediversion, 52% underwent pouch salvage, 30% had no further surgery, and 18.1% underwent pouch excision. The 5-year pouch survival rates for inflammatory and noninflammatory indications were 71.5% and 94.5%, respectively (P = .02).
    Conclusion: Rediversion of ileoanal pouches is a safe initial strategy to manage failing pouches and is a useful first step in pouch salvage in many patients. Subsequent salvage surgery for noninflammatory indications had a significantly higher pouch salvage rate than those rediverted for inflammatory complications.

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive relevance of tumor sidedness on surgical resection after recurrence by evaluating the treatment outcomes after primary resection and recurrence in patients with localized colon cancer (CC).
    Methods: A total of 735 consecutive patients who underwent curative resection for Stage I-III CC from 1997 to 2013 were categorized as having either right- or left-sided CC, and survival after primary surgery and after recurrence were analyzed.
    Results: A total of 104 patients (14.1%) developed recurrence, 94 of which were in a single organ, and 59 patients underwent curative resection. For recurrence from both sides of the colon, a significantly better 5-year overall survival (OS) was experienced by patients who underwent curative resection compared to those who received palliative treatment (right: 42.2% vs not reached, respectively; P < 0.001; left: 71 vs 15.9%, respectively; P < 0.001). Meanwhile, a still worse OS was observed in patients with curative resection for recurrent right-sided CC compared to those with resection for recurrent left-sided CC (5-year: 42.2 vs 71%; P = 0.03).
    Conclusion: Surgical resection undoubtedly improved survival after recurrence, however, patients with surgical resection for recurrent right-sided CC tended to have a worse prognosis.

    Abstract Background: The mesentery has recently been implicated in the pathophysiology of Crohn's disease (CD), and several techniques have been developed to target the mesentery to reduce its influence on recurrence. We aimed to describe short-term safety and feasibility after these approaches.
    Methods: This is a comparative, retrospective, single-center cohort study of consecutive CD patients undergoing primary or redo ileocolic resection from 2015 to 2022 with Kono-S anastomosis (KSA), extended mesenteric excision (EME) only, or both: mesenteric excision and exclusion (MEE).
    Results: 186 patients underwent KSA (n ​= ​74), EME (n ​= ​66), or MEE (n ​= ​46). The groups had comparable baseline characteristics. The MEE group operative time was longer (median: 187 vs. KSA 170, EME 152 ​min, p ​< ​0.01). Postoperatively, the groups had similar lengths of stay (median 4 days), readmissions (9.1 ​%), major postoperative complications (6.5 ​%), and anastomotic leaks (1.1 ​%).
    Conclusion: Targeting the mesentery with novel surgical approaches for ileocolic Crohn's disease was safe and feasible for short-term follow-up.

    Abstract With more than 5500 da Vinci Surgical System (DVSS) installed worldwide, the robotic approach for general surgery, including for inguinal hernia repair, is gaining popularity in the USA. However, in many countries outside the USA, robotic surgery is performed at only a few advanced institutions; therefore, its advantages over the open or laparoscopic approaches for inguinal hernia repair are unclear. Several retrospective studies have demonstrated the safety and feasibility of robotic inguinal hernia repair, but there is still no firm evidence to support the superiority of robotic surgery for this procedure or its long-term clinical outcomes. Robotic surgery has the potential to overcome the disadvantages of conventional laparoscopic surgery through appropriate utilization of technological advantages, such as wristed instruments, tremor filtering, and high-resolution 3D images. The potential benefits of robotic inguinal hernia repair are lower rates of complications or recurrence than open and laparoscopic surgery, with less postoperative pain, and a rapid learning curve for surgeons. In this review, we summarize the current status and future prospects of robotic inguinal hernia repair and discuss the issues associated with this procedure.

    Abstract A 55-year-old man underwent Hartmann's procedure for generalized peritonitis caused by perforation of sigmoid colon cancer, which was histologically diagnosed as tubular adenocarcinoma penetrating the muscularis propria (T3). The extent of lymph node dissection was insufficient for the advanced cancer, according to the concept of complete mesocolic excision. Two months after surgery, he underwent laparoscopic Hartmann's reversal, combined with interval lymphadenectomy. En bloc resection of the colostomy, rectal stump and associated mesentery was performed with high ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery. Subsequently, the intestinal continuity was restored by end-to-end anastomosis. The postoperative course was uneventful except for infection at the stoma site. No lymph node metastasis was found by histological examination of the resected specimen, with no evidence of cancer recurrence 8 months after the initial surgery.

    Abstract Background: The criteria for deciding upon non-operative management for nonocclusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) are poorly defined. The aim of this study is to determine the prognostic factors for survival in conservative treatment of NOMI.
    Methods: Patients with bowel ischemia were identified by searching for "ICD-10 code K550" in the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database between June 2015 and May 2020. A total of 457 patients were extracted and their medical records, including the clinical factors, imaging findings and outcomes, were analyzed retrospectively. Diagnosis of NOMI was confirmed by the presence of specific findings in contrast-enhanced multidetector-row CT. Twenty-six patients with conservative therapy for NOMI, including four cases of explorative laparotomy or laparoscopy, were enrolled.
    Results: Among the 26 cases without surgical intervention, eight patients (31%) survived to discharge. The level of albumin was significantly higher, and the levels of lactate dehydrogenase, total bilirubin, C-reactive protein, and lactate were significantly lower in the survivors than the non-survivors. Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score was significantly lower in the survivors than the non-survivors. The most reliable predictor of survival for NOMI was SOFA score (cutoff value ≤ 3 points), which had the highest AUC value (0.899) with odds ratio of 0.075 (CI: 0.0096-0.58).
    Conclusions: The SOFA score and several biological markers are promising predictors to determine a treatment plan for NOMI and to avoid unnecessary laparotomy.

    Abstract Aim: Robotic surgery using the da Vinci system has markedly increased worldwide. However, robotic inguinal hernia repair remains unpopular outside the United States. We introduced and evaluated a robotic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (R-TAPP) technique for inguinal hernia in our hospital.
    Methods: First, we designed a task protocol according to the surgical results of 388 laparoscopic TAPP (L-TAPP) procedures performed during the 4 years prior to introducing R-TAPP. Our task protocol included several time limitations during a step-wise procedure: creating the peritoneal flap (<60 minutes), mesh placement with fixation (<30 minutes), and peritoneal suture closure (<30 minutes) under experienced supervision. We investigated the preliminary clinical results of R-TAPP performed by a single operator between December 2018 and January 2020.
    Results: We identified 27 lesions in 20 patients (unilateral in 13 and bilateral in seven). According to the Japan Hernia Society Classification, our cohort included eight type I, five type II, and seven bilateral hernias (nine type I, four type II, and one type IV). The median operation time was 124 minutes (range, 81-164 minutes), and the median console operation time was 85 minutes (range, 50-132). The median time required for the peritoneal incision was 30 minutes (range, 18-54 minutes), that for mesh placement (including tucking) was 13 minutes (range, 7-27 minutes), and that for peritoneal suturing was 9 minutes (range, 3-20 minutes).
    Conclusion: Our preliminary results suggest that our task protocol for R-TAPP is feasible. However, refinement of our task protocol is essential for standardization.

    Abstract Background: Based on the spatial relationship of an aberrant right hepatic duct (ARHD) with the cystic duct and gallbladder neck, we propose a practical classification to evaluate the specific form predisposing to injury in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).
    Methods: We retrospectively investigated the preoperative images (mostly magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography) and clinical outcomes of 721 consecutive patients who underwent LC at our institute from 2015 to 2018. We defined the high-risk ARHD as follows: Type A: communicating with the cystic duct and Type B: running along the gallbladder neck or adjacent to the infundibulum (the minimal distance from the ARHD < 5 mm), regardless of the confluence pattern in the biliary tree. Other ARHDs were considered to be of low risk.
    Results: A high-risk ARHD was identified in 16 cases (2.2%): four (0.6%) with Type A anatomy and 12 (1.7%) with Type B. The remaining ARHD cases (n = 34, 4.7%) were categorized as low risk. There were no significant differences in the operative outcomes (operative time, blood loss, hospital stay) between the high- and low- risk groups. Subtotal cholecystectomy was applied in four cases (25%) in the high-risk group, a significantly higher percentage than the low-risk group (n = 1, 2.9%). In all patients with high-risk ARHD, LC was completed safely without bile duct injury or conversion to laparotomy.
    Conclusions: Our simple classification of high-risk ARHD can highlight the variants located close to the dissecting site to achieve a critical view of safety and may contribute to avoiding inadvertent damage of an ARHD in LC.
