- Abstract
Laparotomy incisions provide easy and rapid access to the peritoneal cavity in case of emergency surgery. Incisional hernia (IH) is a late manifestation of the failure of abdominal wall closure and represents frequent complication of any abdominal incision: IHs can cause pain and discomfort to the patients but also clinical serious sequelae like bowel obstruction, incarceration, strangulation, and necessity of reoperation. Previous guidelines and indications in the literature consider elective settings and evidence about laparotomy closure in emergency settings is lacking. This paper aims to present the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) project called ECLAPTE (Effective Closure of LAParoTomy in Emergency): the final manuscript includes guidelines on the closure of emergency laparotomy., (© 2023.

- Abstract
Background: The objectives of the study were to investigate the organizational characteristics of acute care facilities worldwide in preventing and managing infections in surgery; assess participants' perception regarding infection prevention and control (IPC) measures, antibiotic prescribing practices, and source control; describe awareness about the global burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and IPC measures; and determine the role of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 pandemic on said awareness., Methods: A cross-sectional web-based survey was conducted contacting 1432 health care workers (HCWs) belonging to a mailing list provided by the Global Alliance for Infections in Surgery. The self-administered questionnaire was developed by a multidisciplinary team. The survey was open from May 22, 2021, and June 22, 2021. Three reminders were sent, after 7, 14, and 21 days., Results: Three hundred four respondents from 72 countries returned a questionnaire, with an overall response rate of 21.2%. Respectively, 90.4% and 68.8% of participants stated their hospital had a multidisciplinary IPC team or a multidisciplinary antimicrobial stewardship team. Local protocols for antimicrobial therapy of surgical infections and protocols for surgical antibiotic prophylaxis were present in 76.6% and 90.8% of hospitals, respectively. In 23.4% and 24.0% of hospitals no surveillance systems for surgical site infections and no monitoring systems of used antimicrobials were implemented. Patient and family involvement in IPC management was considered to be slightly or not important in their hospital by the majority of respondents (65.1%). Awareness of the global burden of AMR among HCWs was considered very important or important by 54.6% of participants. The COVID-19 pandemic was considered by 80.3% of respondents as a very important or important factor in raising HCWs awareness of the IPC programs in their hospital. Based on the survey results, the authors developed 15 statements for several questions regarding the prevention and management of infections in surgery. The statements may be the starting point for designing future evidence-based recommendations., Conclusion: Adequacy of prevention and management of infections in acute care facilities depends on HCWs behaviours and on the organizational characteristics of acute health care facilities to support best practices and promote behavioural change. Patient involvement in the implementation of IPC is still little considered. A debate on how operationalising a fundamental change to IPC, from being solely the HCWs responsibility to one that involves a collaborative relationship between HCWs and patients, should be opened., (© 2022.

- Abstract
Intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) are common surgical emergencies and have been reported as major contributors to non-trauma deaths in hospitals worldwide. The cornerstones of effective treatment of IAIs include early recognition, adequate source control, appropriate antimicrobial therapy, and prompt physiologic stabilization using a critical care environment, combined with an optimal surgical approach. Together, the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES), the Global Alliance for Infections in Surgery (GAIS), the Surgical Infection Society-Europe (SIS-E), the World Surgical Infection Society (WSIS), and the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) have jointly completed an international multi-society document in order to facilitate clinical management of patients with IAIs worldwide building evidence-based clinical pathways for the most common IAIs. An extensive non-systematic review was conducted using the PubMed and MEDLINE databases, limited to the English language. The resulting information was shared by an international task force from 46 countries with different clinical backgrounds. The aim of the document is to promote global standards of care in IAIs providing guidance to clinicians by describing reasonable approaches to the management of IAIs., (© 2021. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Background and Aims: Acute appendicitis (AA) is among the most common causes of acute abdominal pain. Diagnosis of AA is still challenging and some controversies on its management are still present among different settings and practice patterns worldwide. In July 2015, the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) organized in Jerusalem the first consensus conference on the diagnosis and treatment of AA in adult patients with the intention of producing evidence-based guidelines. An updated consensus conference took place in Nijemegen in June 2019 and the guidelines have now been updated in order to provide evidence-based statements and recommendations in keeping with varying clinical practice: use of clinical scores and imaging in diagnosing AA, indications and timing for surgery, use of non-operative management and antibiotics, laparoscopy and surgical techniques, intra-operative scoring, and peri-operative antibiotic therapy., Methods: This executive manuscript summarizes the WSES guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of AA. Literature search has been updated up to 2019 and statements and recommendations have been developed according to the GRADE methodology. The statements were voted, eventually modified, and finally approved by the participants to the consensus conference and by the board of co-authors, using a Delphi methodology for voting whenever there was controversy on a statement or a recommendation. Several tables highlighting the research topics and questions, search syntaxes, and the statements and the WSES evidence-based recommendations are provided. Finally, two different practical clinical algorithms are provided in the form of a flow chart for both adults and pediatric (< 16 years old) patients., Conclusions: The 2020 WSES guidelines on AA aim to provide updated evidence-based statements and recommendations on each of the following topics: (1) diagnosis, (2) non-operative management for uncomplicated AA, (3) timing of appendectomy and in-hospital delay, (4) surgical treatment, (5) intra-operative grading of AA, (6) ,management of perforated AA with phlegmon or abscess, and (7) peri-operative antibiotic therapy.

- Abstract
Background: Timing and adequacy of peritoneal source control are the most important pillars in the management of patients with acute peritonitis. Therefore, early prognostic evaluation of acute peritonitis is paramount to assess the severity and establish a prompt and appropriate treatment. The objectives of this study were to identify clinical and laboratory predictors for in-hospital mortality in patients with acute peritonitis and to develop a warning score system, based on easily recognizable and assessable variables, globally accepted., Methods: This worldwide multicentre observational study included 153 surgical departments across 56 countries over a 4-month study period between February 1, 2018, and May 31, 2018., Results: A total of 3137 patients were included, with 1815 (57.9%) men and 1322 (42.1%) women, with a median age of 47 years (interquartile range [IQR] 28-66). The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 8.9%, with a median length of stay of 6 days (IQR 4-10). Using multivariable logistic regression, independent variables associated with in-hospital mortality were identified: age > 80 years, malignancy, severe cardiovascular disease, severe chronic kidney disease, respiratory rate ≥ 22 breaths/min, systolic blood pressure < 100 mmHg, AVPU responsiveness scale (voice and unresponsive), blood oxygen saturation level (SpO
2 ) < 90% in air, platelet count < 50,000 cells/mm3, and lactate > 4 mmol/l. These variables were used to create the PIPAS Severity Score, a bedside early warning score for patients with acute peritonitis. The overall mortality was 2.9% for patients who had scores of 0-1, 22.7% for those who had scores of 2-3, 46.8% for those who had scores of 4-5, and 86.7% for those who have scores of 7-8., Conclusions: The simple PIPAS Severity Score can be used on a global level and can help clinicians to identify patients at high risk for treatment failure and mortality., Competing Interests: Competing interestsThe authors declare that they have no competing interests.- Published

- Abstract
Background: Acute appendicitis (AA) is the most common surgical disease, and appendectomy is the treatment of choice in the majority of cases. A correct diagnosis is key for decreasing the negative appendectomy rate. The management can become difficult in case of complicated appendicitis. The aim of this study is to describe the worldwide clinical and diagnostic work-up and management of AA in surgical departments., Methods: This prospective multicenter observational study was performed in 116 worldwide surgical departments from 44 countries over a 6-month period (April 1, 2016-September 30, 2016). All consecutive patients admitted to surgical departments with a clinical diagnosis of AA were included in the study., Results: A total of 4282 patients were enrolled in the POSAW study, 1928 (45%) women and 2354 (55%) men, with a median age of 29 years. Nine hundred and seven (21.2%) patients underwent an abdominal CT scan, 1856 (43.3%) patients an US, and 285 (6.7%) patients both CT scan and US. A total of 4097 (95.7%) patients underwent surgery; 1809 (42.2%) underwent open appendectomy and 2215 (51.7%) had laparoscopic appendectomy. One hundred eighty-five (4.3%) patients were managed conservatively. Major complications occurred in 199 patients (4.6%). The overall mortality rate was 0.28%., Conclusions: The results of the present study confirm the clinical value of imaging techniques and prognostic scores. Appendectomy remains the most effective treatment of acute appendicitis. Mortality rate is low., Competing Interests: The data was completely anonymized, and no patient or hospital information was collected in the database. The study protocol was approved by the board of the WSES, and the study was conducted under its supervision. The board of the WSES grants the proper ethical conduct of the study.The authors declare that they have no competing interests.Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.

- Abstract
Background: In 2011, the European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & Healthcare of the Council of Europe launched a 3-year collaborative project to address the organ shortage and improve access to transplant health services in Council of Europe member states in the Black Sea area (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Georgia, Moldova, Romania, Turkey, Ukraine, and the Russian Federation) through the development of safe and ethical donation and transplantation programs., Objective: Support the development of donation and transplantation programs through close interstate cooperation between national health organizations and relevant stakeholders., Methodology: Several work packages (WP) were established: WP1, project coordination (European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & Healthcare); WP2, development and implementation of an effective legislative and financial framework (Czech Republic and France); WP3, establishment of National Transplant Authorities (Italy and Portugal); and WP4, clinical practices (DTI Foundation). Data collection, surveys, and expert visits allowed for the collection of first-hand information from each participant country at national, regional, and hospital levels., Results: Data analysis showed the positive impact of the project represented by a tendency to increase the total donation rates (per million people) in the participant countries (2011 vs 2013): Azerbaijan, +7.3; Armenia, -0.7; Georgia, +3.3; Bulgaria, +0.9; Moldova, +2.5; Ukraine:, +0.8; Romania, +2.3; and Turkey, +2.7., Conclusions: Increases in total donation rates are the result of a number of initiatives in the Black Sea area, including the stepwise implementation of legislative, organizational and institutional country-specific recommendations tailored by the CoE, efforts of the respective Ministries of Health in each country and synergism with other European projects in the region. These countries should invest further in implementing the recommendations that emerged from this project to improve their organ donation and transplantation programs and progress toward self-sufficiency., (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
Nonspecific ulcerative colitis is disease with complicated and not fully studied etiology and pathogenesis, and treatment of its complications is very difficult. Especially complicated is disease course with repetitive bleeding, toxic megacolon and perforation. We present a quite rare case of complication with multiple, especially repetitive perforations of transverse colon. After 13 days from the performance of subtotal colectomy, the patient underwent to the relaparotomy because of secondary perforation of sygmoid colon 2-3 cm lower from its cult and iliac intestine 0.2-0.3 cm distance from nearby ileostoma. The full eventration took place on the 6th day and was performed repetitive laparotomy. On the 8th day patient was released from artificial ventilation of lungs and on the 66th day from hospitalization patient was discharged from the hospital with satisfactory status. Such kind of serious course of the treatment process was determined by the late hospitalization and developed serious complications. Situation mentioned above more impressively underlines the value of the positive result of presented case.

Diaphragmatic agenesis is the most extreme and rare form of congenital diaphragmatic maldevelopment and therefore diagnosis of it are only few in literature, especially in children. It may be unilateral or bilateral. Frequently, diaphragmatic agenesis is accompanied with diaphragmatic hernia, when through a congenital defect of the diaphragm liver, intestine and other viscera herniate into the chest. Diagnostics typically are made early in infancy and is generally associated with other genetic anomalies, especially aneuploidy syndromes. It is associated with a high mortality, if not treated in infancy. However, according to published literature only a few patients have survived till adulthood. In this report, we describe the case of a 63 years old male patient who admitted in a hospital with small bowel intussusception because of strangulated intestinal obstruction and peritonitis. While surgical operation and revision of abdominal cavity, partial right-sided agenesis of the diaphragm was revealed. Two operations were performed on a patient; one because of strangulated intestinal obstruction and accompanied peritonitis and the second, because of stitch insufficiency after 5 days from the first surgical operation. Taking into account the heavy overall status of the patient, diaphragm plastic was not performed and its performance postponed for future.

- Abstract
A traditional bypass pattern applied in hepatectomy (venous return in superior vena cava system) is frequently attended by blood congestion in cranial veins. The study objective is the maintenance of hemodynamic indices in normal physiological ranges via application of the new bypass scheme in the experimental model of the anhepatic period. 12 rabbits of Chinchilla breed were involved in the experiments, with weight ranging between 3,0-3,5 kg, which were divided into three groups (with 3 animals in each): I control group - hepatectomy under the condition of non-compulsory liver bypass with the return of the venous flow in brachiocephalic vein. II group - hepatectomy with the compulsory bypass, with an in-take of blood in the apparatus and injection in the brachiocephalic vein. III group - hepatectomy via non-traditional method of compulsory bypass in suprahepatic vena cava. The outcomes of the experiments indicated that blood congestion in cranial venous system occurred only in I and II groups, which was verified by the pressure rise (5,9+/-1,2 mmHg and 4,7+/-0,5 mmHg, respectively) and diminished blood flow rate (3,0+/-1,8 ml/min and 2,0+/-0,7 ml/min) in external jugular vein. These indices corresponded with the levels of 0,6+/-0,2 mm Hg and 9,0+/-2,5 ml/min respectively in the III group. Application of the artificial, compulsary bypass circuit has been established to be reasonable in anhepatic period, for achieving the blood return to the heart through portal vein and from the lower parts of the body. During blood return in suprahepatic portion of vena cava, the congestion in cranial venous system is prevented. Maintenance of the pressure and volume indices between normal physiological limits in venous system provides the opportunity of safe prolongation of the anhepatic period.

- Abstract
Clinical observations suggest that recipients of multiorgan transplants from the same donor can have disparate immunological reactions to each organ. We studied this phenomenon in 36 diabetic (streptozotocin-induced), bilaterally nephrectomized, immunosuppressed (cyclosporine, azathioprine, prednisone) pig recipients of simultaneous (same donor) pancreas (bladder drained) and kidney allografts by grading the histological intensity of rejection in biopsies of each organ at defined intervals posttransplant. Graft function was monitored by plasma glucose (PG) and urine amylase (UA) for the pancreas and serum creatinine (Cr) for the kidney. Interstitial rejection was graded as absent, mild, moderate, and severe in, respectively, 8%, 25%, 42%, and 25% of pancreas vs. 4%, 12%, 27%, and 57% of kidney biopsies at 1 week; and 0%, 43%, 29%, and 29% of pancreases vs. 10%, 0%, 30%, and 60% of kidneys at two weeks. Although the distribution of grades was similar in the two organs (P > 0.1), the grade of rejection for each pair at 1 week (n = 24) was discordant in 75% (42% differed by one and 33% by > or = 2 grades) and at 2 weeks (n = 7) in 57% (29% by 1 and 29% by > or = 2 grades). The inability to use the severity of interstitial rejection in one organ to predict the findings in the other is exemplified by the fact that for the two pancreases without interstitial rejection at one week, the corresponding kidney showed moderate or severe rejection, and for the 1 kidney without rejection the corresponding pancreas showed moderate rejection. Vascular rejection grades (absent, mild, moderate, severe) also showed a similar distribution for the pancreas (57%, 30%, 9%, 4%) vs. kidney (50%, 38%, 0%, 12%) at 1 week, and at 2 weeks (57%, 29%, 0%, and 14% for the pancreas vs. 78%, 11%, 0%, and 11 for the kidney) (P > or = 0.64). However, the grading of vascular rejection in organ pairs was dyssynchronous in 54% at 1 week (n = 22) and 29% at 2 weeks (n = 7). No vascular rejection in the pancreas with rejection in the kidney was seen in 5 pairs at 1 week (23%) and 0 at 2 weeks (0%), while no rejection in the kidney with rejection in the pancreas was seen in 5 pairs at 1 week (23%) and 2 pairs at 2 weeks (29%).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

- Abstract
Clinically, the incidence of reversible renal allograft rejection episodes appears to be higher in recipients of simultaneous pancreas/kidney (SPK) than of kidney transplantation alone (KTA); conversely, the rate of irreversible pancreas allograft rejection appears to be higher in pancreas transplant alone (PTA) than SPK recipients. Clinical/histological correlation of graft rejection in these three groups has not been precise. Therefore, we studied the incidence and histological severity of the rejection process in a large animal (pig) model of SPK (n = 36), PTA (n = 31), and KTA (n = 36) allotransplantation. SPK and PTA recipients were made diabetic pretransplant by streptozotocin (150 mg/kg). Pancreas graft exocrine secretions were bladder-drained via a duodenocystostomy for urine amylase (UA) monitoring; endocrine function was monitored by plasma glucose (PG) levels. SPK and KTA recipients underwent native nephrectomy, and renal allograft function was monitored by serum creatinine (CR). Cyclosporine, azathioprine, and prednisone were given in tapering doses from the time of transplantation. Grafts were biopsied weekly to grade histologic severity of interstitial and vascular rejection on light microscopy (LM) and for intensity of T cell infiltration on immunofluorescence. Pancreas graft exocrine function (UA above pretransplant baseline), present in 62% of PTA and 68% of SPK recipients at one week, persisted in only 7% of PTA vs. 64% of SPK pigs at 2 weeks (P = 0.0004). Likewise, pancreas graft endocrine function (PG < 200 mg/dl off insulin) was sustained longer in SPK than PTA recipients (100% vs. 84% at 1 and 91% vs. 27% at 2 weeks; P = 0.0006). However, renal allograft functional survival (serum creatinine < 3.0 mg/dl) was not significantly different (P = 0.471) between SPK and KTA recipients (36% vs. 30% at 1 and 23% vs. 13% at 2 weeks). Graft functional parameters partially correlated with biopsy observations. Pancreas allograft biopsies showed a significantly (P = 0.03 at 1 and P = 0.05 at 2 weeks) lower incidence of moderate/severe interstitial rejection in SPK than PTA recipients (67% vs. 95% at 1 and 57% vs. 92% at 2 weeks); rejection was absent in 8% of SPK and in no PTA biopsies at 1 week. Vascular rejection was moderate/severe in significantly fewer (P = 0.0013 at 1 and P = 0.023 at 2 weeks) SPK than PTA pancreas grafts (13% vs. 37% at 1 and 14% vs. 38% at 2 weeks).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

- Abstract
We induced, as a precondition for a pancreas transplant, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in 67 Yorkshire Landrace pigs by administering streptozotocin. A dosage of 150 mg/kg body weight gave rise to a long-lasting diabetes mellitus that persisted with time (follow-up period: 26 weeks). Consecutive measurements of serum glucose and plasma insulin, before and up to 30 hours after administering streptozotocin, revealed triphasic behavior: initial hyperglycemia (1st to 3rd hour), pronounced hypoglycemia (12th to 18th hour), then hyperglycemia (22nd hour on). IVGTTs done 1 to 7 days after administering streptozotocin revealed a reduction of the K-value (glucose disappearance rate) from 0.3 (day 2) to 0.07 (day 4). Immunohistochemical studies revealed a complete loss of all beta-cells, concomitantly with a relative increase in glucagon- and somatostatin-positive cells. We also observed a complete loss of pp (pancreatic polypeptide)-positive cells. Diabetes induced by streptozotocin at 150 mg/kg body weight is complete and permanent; our mortality rate was 0%. Given the high morbidity rate after pancreatectomy, streptozotocin should be the method of choice for inducing diabetes mellitus in pigs.
