Aim
Several methods for assessing anastomotic integrity have been proposed, but the best is yet to be defined. The aim of this study was to compare the different methods to assess the integrity of colorectal anastomosis prior to ileostomy reversal.
Method
A retrospective cohort analysis on patients between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2020 with a defunctioning stoma for middle and low rectal...
Background
The aim of this study was to investigate 8‐mm robotic trocar site hernia (TSH) rate over the short and long term, providing aids to manage the related fascial wounds.
Methods
A retrospective analysis of 320 patients undergoing robotic surgery was conducted. The primary outcome was 8‐mm TSH rate with a minimum follow‐up of 12 months. The secondary outcome was the rate of haematomas and...
Background
This study aimed to assess clinical results in terms of intraoperative outcomes, recovery and recurrence of our robotic technique for the treatment of patients affected by simultaneous inguinal and umbilical hernia, providing technical details to facilitate multiquadrant surgery in robotic hernia repair.
Methods
Data from patients affected by simultaneous primary inguinal and umbilical...
