Postoperative infectious complications are extremely important to surgeons and the entire medical care team. Among these complications, surgical site infection (SSI) appears to be one of the earliest ...
Intestinal microorganisms play a crucial role in shaping the host immunity and maintaining homeostasis. Nevertheless, alterations in gut bacterial composition may occur and these alterations have been...
Autologous gastrointestinal reconstructive surgery (AGIR) has become a key component of intestinal rehabilitation programs. However, the best surgical option for short bowel syndrome (SBS) remains unk...
We collected data on SBS patients who underwent surgery from 2008 to 2021 in two tertiary European Centres. Combined procedures were defined as more than one technique used on the same patient. Charts...
Twenty-one children (12 females) underwent combined procedures. Preoperative median small bowel length was 20 cm (IQR: 15-35 cm); after lengthening, it was 35.5 cm (IQR: 30.75-50.50 cm) (P < 0.001). C...
Combined AGIR techniques are practical and safe in SBS treatment when tailored to meet patients' needs, combining lengthening, tailoring, and reducing transit time procedures. Therefore, combined AGIR...
The Senhance Surgical System allows for infrared eye tracking, haptic feedback, and an adjustable upright seat allowing for improved ergonomics. This systematic review was designed with the aim of rev...
Acute cholecystitis (AC) is an acute inflammatory process of the gallbladder that may be associated with potentially severe complications, such as empyema, gangrene, perforation of the gallbladder, an...
Automatic surgical skill assessment with artificial intelligence (AI) is more objective than manual video review-based skill assessment and can reduce human burden. Standardization of surgical field d...
To develop a deep learning model that can recognize the standardized surgical fields in laparoscopic sigmoid colon resection and to evaluate the feasibility of automatic surgical skill assessment base...
This retrospective diagnostic study used intraoperative videos of laparoscopic colorectal surgery submitted to the Japan Society for Endoscopic Surgery between August 2016 and November 2017. Data were...
Videos of surgery performed by expert surgeons with Endoscopic Surgical Skill Qualification System (ESSQS) scores higher than 75 were used to construct a deep learning model able to recognize a standa...
Videos with scores less than or greater than 2 SDs from the mean were defined as the low- and high-score groups, respectively. The correlation between AICS and ESSQS score and the screening performanc...
The sample included 650 intraoperative videos, 60 of which were used for model construction and 60 for validation. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient between the AICS and ESSQS score was 0.81. ...
The AICS from the developed model strongly correlated with the ESSQS score, demonstrating the model's feasibility for use as a method of automatic surgical skill assessment. The findings also suggest ...
Gastric cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in the gastrointestinal tract, and surgery is currently an important treatment for progressive gastric cancer. With the development of technology, ...
The concept introduced by protocols of enhanced recovery after surgery modifies perioperative traditional care in digestive surgery. The integration of these modern recommendations components during t...
To emphasize the most important points of a multimodal perioperative care protocol....
Careful analysis of each recommendation of both ERAS and ACERTO protocols, justifying their inclusion in the multimodal care recommended for digestive surgery patients....
Enhanced recovery programs (ERPs) such as ERAS and ACERTO protocols are a cornerstone in modern perioperative care. Nutritional therapy is fundamental in digestive surgery, and thus, both preoperative...
This position paper from the Brazilian College of Digestive Surgery strongly emphasizes that the implementation of ERPs in digestive surgery represents a paradigm shift in perioperative care, transcen...
The French Society of Digestive Surgery (Société Française de Chirurgie Digestive [SFCD]) has elaborated clinical practice guidelines for the management of the obese patient undergoing gastro-intestin...
The literature was analyzed according to the GRADE® (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) methodology divided into five chapters: preoperative management, modalities of t...
Synthesis of expert opinions and the application of the GRADE methodology produced 30 recommendations among which three were strong and nine were weak. The GRADE methodology could not be applied for 1...
These clinical practice guidelines can help surgeons optimize the peri-operative management of the obese patient undergoing gastro-intestinal surgery....
The use of routine data will be essential in future healthcare research. Therefore, harmonizing procedure codes is a first step to facilitate this approach as international research endeavour. An exam...
We included the existing surgical procedure coding systems of five European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom [UK]). In an iterative process, country specific codes were...
A total number of 153 SALT (Staphylococcus aureus Surgical Site Infection Multinational Epidemiology in Europe) codes from 10 specialties were assigned to 15,432 surgical procedures. Almost 4000 (26%)...
Mapping country-specific codes procedure codes onto to a limited number of coherent, internally and externally validated codes proofed feasible. The resultant SALT procedure code gives the opportunity...
The study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov under NCT03353532 on November 27...
