Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) became the most performed surgical intervention for treating population with morbid obesity. However, revisional surgery after SG has been increasingly performed due to weight loss failure. We describe the results of a single surgeon’s experience with conversion of SG to one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) in patients with previous SG and weight loss failure. The aim of the study is to analyze the short- and mid-term results of conversion of SG to OAGB for failure of weight loss.

PURPOSE:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the rate of intraoperative and postoperative complications in a large series of patients affected by neuromuscular scoliosis.
METHODS:
It was a monocentric retrospective study. In this study have been considered complications those events that significantly affected the course of treatment, such as getting the hospital stay longer, or requiring a subsequent surgical procedure, or corrupting the final result of the treatment.
RESULTS:

Objective: To compare the outcomes of robotic radical nephrectomy (RRN) to those of laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (LRN) for large renal masses. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of RRN and LRN cases performed for large (≥ cT2) renal masses from 2004 to 2017 and collected in the multi-institutional international database (ROSULA: RObotic SUrgery for LArge renal masses). Peri-operative, functional, and oncologic outcomes were compared between each approach.

Investiganting if some factors associated with lenght of the second stage of labour are the same among women withn or without epidural analgesia.

The follow-up of celiac disease (CD) is challenging due to the scarcity of published data and the lack of standardized evidence-based protocols. The worldwide frequency and methods of CD follow-up appear to be heavily influenced by expert opinions of the individual physicians who assess children with CD. The aim of this review was to summarize the available studies on CD follow-up in children.

Background & Aims: The ANSWER study reported that long-term albumin administration in patients with cirrhosis and uncomplicated ascites improves survival. During treatment, serum albumin increased within a month and remained stable thereafter. In this post hoc analysis, we aimed to determine whether on-treatment serum albumin levels could guide therapy.
