Outcomes of laparoscopic surgery for pT3/pT4 colorectal cancer in young vs. old patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic surgery for locally advanced lesions is feasible, but old patients present an increased risk of conversion and postoperative morbidity and mortality, which may alter long-term outcomes determining an apparent decrease in survival.

Which is the best pancreatic anastomosis?
Authors: Fiorentini G, Tamburrino D, Belfiori G, Crippa S, Partelli S, Falconi M
Abstract
Post-operative pancreatic fistula is responsible for most of the complications following pancreaticoduodenectomy and several surgical techniques and strategies to prevent it have been suggested. None of these was ever proved to be the safest. Aim of this review is to present existing evidences on the best pancreatic anastomosis.

Preoperative vitamin D levels do not relate with the risk of hypocalcemia following total thyroidectomy. A cohort study.
CONCLUSIONS: In our cohort of patients, preoperative vitamin D levels were not associated with a higher risk of hypocalcemia following total thyroidectomy. Postoperative PTH appears to be the most sensible item to predict the risk of postoperative symptomatic hypocalcemia.

Standard stapled transanal rectal resection vs stapled transanal rectal resection with only one high volume stapler in the prevention of complications in old patient: our experience.
CONCLUSIONS: The STARR technique performed with a single stapler CPH34HV is safe, faster and less expensive than the STARR performed by a double PPH01. Besidas, with the parachute technique, it is possible to resect asymmetric prolapses.

External hemorrhoidal thrombosis in the elderly patients: conservative and surgical management.
CONCLUSIONS: The surgical treatment for EHT in elderly is safe and effective, but not the most common choice for fear of complications. Medical treatment or immediate incision of thrombus can be preferred and well accepted by elderly even if followed by a higher rate of recurrences.

Therapeutic effects of anterolateral thigh flap transfer in repairing oral and maxillofacial defects after ablative surgery of neoplasms.
CONCLUSIONS: The results showed that anterolateral thigh flap transfer has similar therapeutic effects to those of forearm flap transfer in repairing oral and maxillofacial defects after ablative surgery of neoplasms and improving food intake and quality of life. But Anterolateral thigh flap transfer can reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, so this treatment should be popularized.

A study on the impacts of preoperative maximum detrusor pressure on minimally invasive surgery effect on patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
CONCLUSIONS: The results indicated that as the preoperative Pdet.max was increased, the symptoms of the patients receiving minimally invasive surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia were ameliorated more significantly, and the patients had higher quality of life. The preoperative Pdet.max can judge the treatment effect of minimally invasive surgery on the patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia and help to guide the patients' prognosis. The greater the preoperative Pdet.max is, the better the treatment effect of the patients after the surgery will be, and the higher the quality of life will be.

Ablation treatments in unresectable pancreatic cancer.
Authors: Paiella S, De Pastena M, Romeo F, D'onofrio M, Fontana M, Pea A, De Marchi G, Crinò SF, Bassi C, Salvia R
Abstract
Ablation treatments have been increasingly applied as an alternative treatment for unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). The goal of LAPC therapy is surgical resection with negative margins (R0); however, that can be achieved only in a minority of patients and only following neoadjuvant treatment. Ablation might be useful for those patients with unresectable LAPC that do not progress towards metastatic stage and do not experience a true downstaging. Indeed, some LAP...

Pancreatoduodenectomy with artery-first approach.
Authors: Mora-Oliver I, Garcés-Albir M, Dorcaratto D, Muñoz-Forner E, Izquierdo Moreno A, Carbonell-Aliaga MP, Sabater L
Abstract
"Artery-first approach" encompasses different aspects for the surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer. It is a surgical technique or set of techniques which share in common the dissection of the main arterial vasculature involved in pancreatic cancer, before any irreversible surgical step is performed. On the other hand it represents the need for a meticulous dissection of the arterial planes and clearing of the retropancreatic tissue between the superior mesenteric artery, th...
