Prophylactic Treatment with Vedolizumab in the Prevention of Postoperative Recurrence (POR) in High-Risk Crohn’s Patients Open
About 50% of Crohn’s Disease (CD) patients undergo an intestinal resection during their lifetime. Although the patients experience a fairly long period of well-being after the intestinal resection, they presented a postoperative recurrence…

“Safety-rated Monitored Stop” Collaborative Operation Function for Industrial Robots: a Simple Model for Functional Analysis Purposes Open
Collaborative robot operations are standardized since, in consideration of the shared workspace, operators are exposed to possible contact with moving parts of robots. Collisions with humans can be extremely hazardous: for this reason, “sa…

End-stage renal disease is a risk factor for complex laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients waiting for renal transplantation Open
: Although several scores investigating the risk for complex LC have been proposed, none of them has focused on ESRD. This is the first series demonstrating that ESRD is an independent risk factor for technical complexity in LC. We develop…

Laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication: The effects of high-concentration supplemental perioperative oxygen on the inflammatory and immune response: A randomised controlled trial Open
This study demonstrated that perioperative HCO (80%), during LNF, can lead to a reduction in post-operative inflammatory response, and possibly, avoid post-operative immunosuppression.

Supplementary Material for: Septic Complications after Resection for Middle or Low Rectal Cancer: Role of Gut Barrier Function and Inflammatory Serum Markers Open
Background: The focus of this study was to understand the relationship between the failure of gut barrier function, inflammatory markers and septic complications after resection for extraperitoneal rectal cancer. Method…

Short- and Long-Term, 11–22 Years, Results after Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication in Obese versus Nonobese Patients Open
Background . Some studies suggest that obesity is associated with a poor outcome after Laparoscopic Nissen Fundoplication (LNF), whereas others have not replicated these findings. The effect of body mass index (BMI) on the short- and long-…

Effects of low and standard intra-abdominal pressure on systemic inflammation and immune response in laparoscopic adrenalectomy: A prospective randomised study Open
This study demonstrated that reducing the pressure of the pneumoperitoneum to 6-8 mmHg during LA reduced p.o. inflammatory response and averted p.o. immunosuppression.

An approach for modeling of a medical equipment for the estimation of leakage currents Open
In an operating theatre, electro medical equipment (EME) may fail and cause health hazards as the passing of a weak but hazardous current (leakage current) through the heart of the patient during surgical interventions.This occurs evidentl…

Gut barrier function and systemic endotoxemia after laparotomy or laparoscopic resection for colon cancer: A prospective randomized study Open
An increase in IP, and systemic endotoxemia were observed during the open and laparoscopic resection for colon cancer, without significant statistically difference between the two groups.

Reconstruction of Scrotal Sac and Penis with Biological Prosthesis and Vacuum Therapy Open
Fournier's gangrene is a rapidly progressing necrotizing fasciitis, involving perineal, perianal, or genital regions, and it constitutes a true surgical emergency. Surgical excision of all necrotic tissue is required, and multiple debridem…

Evaluation of microshock risk during a surgical procedure Open
During a surgical procedure, risk assessment is important in order to prevent undesired patient's ventricular fibrillation.Even weak currents flowing through the heart of a patient are potentially able to cause such a dangerous event.The h…
