RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Bile duct injuries (BDI) are the most feared complications that can occur after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). BDI have a high variability and complexity, several classifications being developed along the years in order to correctly assess and divide BDI. The EAES ATOM classification encompasses all the important details of a BDI: A (for anatomy), To (for time of), and M (for mechanism) but have not gained universal acceptance yet. Our study intents to analyze the cases of BDI treated in our institution with a focus on the clinical utility of the ATOM classification. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study, on a 10-year period (2011-2020), including patients diagnosed with BDI after LC, with their definitive treatment performed in our tertiary center. All injuries were retrospectively classified using the Strasberg, Hannover, and ATOM classifications. RESULTS: We included in our study 100 patients; 15% of the BDI occurred in our center. No classification system was used in 73% of patients; 23% of the BDI were classified by the Strasberg system, 3% were classified by the Bismuth classification, 1% being classified by the ATOM classification. After retrospectively assessing all BDI, we observed that especially the Strasberg classification, as well as Hannover, over-simplifies the characteristics of the injury, many types of BDI according to ATOM being included in the same Strasberg or Hannover category. Most main bile duct injuries underwent a bilio-digestive anastomosis (60%), as a definitive treatment. An important percentage of cases (31%) underwent a primary treatment in the hospital of origin, reintervention with definitive treatment being done in our department. CONCLUSION: The ATOM classification is the best suited for accurately describing the complexity of a BDI, serving as a template for discussing the correct management for each lesion. Efforts should be made toward increasing the use of this classification in day-to-day clinical practice.

PURPOSE: Emergency pancreaticoduodenectomy (EPD) is an uncommon surgical procedure; usually, it is performed in traumatic cases, with non-traumatic indications being very rare. Our review aimed to offer a comprehensive descriptive overview of the characteristics of EPD in non-traumatic settings. METHODS: Our study is a review of individual participant data. PubMed, Cochrane, Google Scholar and Embase databases were searched. The last search was conducted in March 2022; studies that reported EPD for non-traumatic indications were included in the analysis. RESULTS: Twenty-six articles were identified, twenty-five providing individual participant data; 17 articles (68%) were case reports. One article was a large retrospective study on the NSQIP (American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement) database, which enrolled 409 patients that underwent EPD for malignant causes. From the other studies, we extracted individual participant data for a total of 66 patients. The patients were divided in subgroups, based on the indication for surgery: malignant causes (39.39%), uncontrollable bleeding (19.69%), iatrogenic injuries (30.3%), perforations (4.54%), or ischemic causes (6.06%). The postoperative morbidity was higher for the perforation subgroup. Postoperative pancreatic fistula is the most common complication reported (21.21%); higher rates were reported in the malignant and bleeding subgroups, with no special mention of this complication in the NSQIP database study. Mortality rate was 10.3% in the NSQIP database and higher, 19.69% in the 66-patient cohort; the highest mortality rates were registered in the perforation and ischemic subgroup. CONCLUSION: EPD is a complex surgical intervention, with important associated morbidity and mortality rates, higher than that in elective settings, although it can be a life-saving procedure in selected cases and should be performed only in high-experience centres.

INTRODUCTION: Adult Morgagni hernias are rare congenital diaphragmatic hernias, which can present with an array of symptoms based on the size and the contents of it. This article focuses primarily on the laparoscopic repair with transfascial suturing. METHODS: A number of five patients over the course of 10 years were admitted in our clinic, one of them being admitted with emergency symptoms. Four of the patients were treated laparoscopically, one of them requiring conversion to open approach. RESULTS: The median age was 53 (range 44-71), 80% of the patients being females. Four of the patients received laparoscopic treatment with transfascial suturing, the fifth being converted, but respecting the same technique. The median surgery duration was 110 min, with a median blood loss of 30 ml. Removal of the sac was attempted in two cases. Median hospitalization stay was 3 days, with a median follow-up of 21 months, with no postoperative complications reported. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic repair with transfascial suturing provides an feasible and efficient repair, compared to the other laparoscopic techniques. Although no postoperative complications were reported, the removal of the sac still remains an controversial issue.

BACKGROUND: Bile duct injury following cholecystectomy remains a severe complication with major implications for the patient outcome. AIM: To assess the outcome of surgical treatment and study the risk factor infuencing biliary reconstruction in patients with bile duct injuries following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODS: Between January 2005 and December 2010, 43 patients with bile duct injuries following laparoscopic cholecystectomy were treated to our center. According to Strasberg classification, the types of injuries were as follows: type A in 7 patients (16.28%), type D in 4 (9.3%), type E1 in 9 (20.93%), type E2 in 11 (25.58%), type E3 in 10 (23.25%),and type E4 in 2 (4.65%) patients respectively. Management after referral included endoscopic sphincterotomy in patients with minor lesions (Strasberg type A) and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy in 36 patients with major duct injuries(Strasberg type D and E). 55.55% of patients with major bile duct injuries have endoscopic or surgical attempts of repair sprior to referral. In case of biliary peritonitis or acute cholangitis, the reconstruction was preceded by prolonged external biliary drainage. RESULTS: All minor lesions were successfully treated endoscopically,with outstanding long term results. For patients with major duct injuries, the postoperative mortality and morbidity rate were 5.55% and 25%, respectively. After a median follow-up period of 34.1 (range, 12-68) months, 30 patients(88.23%) remain in good general condition (using McDonald classification) and 4 patients (11.77%) developed a late anastomotic stricture. Multivariate analyses have identified postoperative biliary leak (p=0.012) as an independent predictor factor for the occurrence of late anastomotic stricture. CONCLUSIONS: Minor bile duct injuries can be successfully treated endoscopically if proper abdominal drainage is maintained. Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy is feasible and safe with contained morbidity and durable results even when previous surgery has failed. Postoperative biliary leak is a significant predictor for poor long term outcome.

INTRODUCTION: During 1993-2008 period, in the Surgical Clinic III were conducted several retrospective studies, in order to identify risk factors for complications after cephalic duodenopancreatectomy(DP). As a result of these studies, a preoperative protocol was developed for preparation of patients proposed for DPC, as well as a number of intraoperative technical changes in order to improve postoperative morbidity and mortality. Implementation of the protocol was gradually and inomogenic done in our service. METHODS: The study is prospective, conducted in 2009-2012, ina group of 180 patients and aims to evaluate immediate results after DPC for periampular malignancy, looking to analyze the effects of implementation of the protocol mentioned above.We analyzed the rates of complications (pancreatic fistula,blunt pancreatitis, bleeding from the pancreatic blunt, delayed gastric emptiness), and the factors that might influence their occurrence. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: of the 180 patients, 10 (5.5%) developed pancreatic fistula and 24 (13.3%) had delayed gastric emptiness. Among the factors that have been significant associated with these complications we mention: the pancreatico-jejunalanastomosis and gastro-jejunal transmesocolic assembly. With the implementation of the protocol, the risk factors previously identified in retrospective studies performed in our service(elevated transaminases, experienced surgical team, etc.) have lost significance, but they have not disappeared entirely, due to fact that the conduit proposed was not entirely followed. We believe that the homogeneous application of a perioperative guide, together with a standardized surgical technique, will lead to improve immediate results after DP.

UNLABELLED: BACKGROUNDS/AIM: Despite advances in medical treatment, a large number of patients with inflammatory bowel disease(IBD) require surgery. We aim to evaluate the efficacy and outcome of surgical interventions in patients with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We retrospectively analysed the medical records from 221 patients admitted to our institution between 2009-2012 with the diagnosis of IBD. Out of these patients, 55 (24.88 %) were diagnosed with Crohn's disease,while the remaining 166 patients (75.11%) had ulcerative colitis. RESULTS: Seventeen of 55 patients with Crohn's disease (30.91%)required surgical management before or during this period. Nine with disease proximal to the transverse colon underwent segmental resections (enteral or colonic) with primary anastomosis, without morbidity. The other 8 patients, with disease distal to the transverse colon, underwent segmental colonic resections (two with primary anastomosis, three with stoma formation) or major colonic resection- subtotal colectomy with ileostomy (1 case) and total proctocolectomy with ileostomy(2 cases). Sixteen of 166 patients with ulcerative colitis(9.64%) required surgery before or during this period. The surgical procedure used included total proctocolectomy with definitive ileostomy (3 cases) and total colectomy with ileostomy(13 cases). 7 of the 13 patients had restorative surgery after total colectomy, 1 remaining with definitive ileostomy due to short vascular pedicle and 5 patients refused restorative surgery. Median daily stool frequency after reconstructive surgery was 7(range 3-12). CONCLUSION: For patients with Crohn's disease proximal to the transverse colon, limited resection with primary anastomosis is safe. Major colonic resection (subtotal colectomy or proctocolectomy)is indicated if the disease is located distal to the transverse colon and primary anastomosis should be avoided. Due to unsatisfactory quality of live after reconstructive surgery(stool frequency remains high), total proctocolectomy with end-ileostomy remains a viable alternative for patients with ulcerative colitis.

UNLABELLED: Cholecystectomy is one of the most performed surgical interventions in general surgery. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was associated with an increasing occurrence of biliary ducts lesions. The aim of this study is to draw the attention towards the permanent risk of these kind of complications, the curative difficulties and identifying the best therapeutic solution in order to obtain favorable results on long term. METHOD: There were retrospectively and prospectively analysed all the cases with diagnosis of iatrogenic biliary ducts lesion hospitalized and operated during 1987-2008 in the Surgical Clinic No 3 Cluj Napoca. RESULTS: The yearly distribution showed an increasing number of biliary lesions operated in the Surgical Clinic No 3 Cluj-Napoca. 81% of the iatrogenic lesions in our study occurred postlaparoscopic cholecystectomy, and 19% secondary to an open cholecystectomy. One hundred thirty-six patients had major biliary lesions (D, E classes according to Strasberg Soper) and 47 patients had minor lesions (A-C classes). The medium hospitalization range was 17 days. Eighty - three patients (45.3%) needed one, two or three surgical interventions before the complete cure of the lesions. The most frequent complication was plague suppuration (12.5%). The cardio-renal-pulmonary complications were present in 8.7% of the patients and the intra-abdominal abscess in 3.8% of the patients. The anastomotic fistula was present in 11% of the operated patients and 6% global mortality. CONCLUSIONS: The iatrogenic lesions of the biliary ducts are characterized by a complicated evolution, with series of interventions and progressive evolution to biliary stenosis. Delaying the final biliary treatment and the high number of interventions performed before patients were referred to hepato-biliary specialised centres lead to an increasing morbidity and hospitalization costs.

AIM: Multi-organ resection for colorectal malignancy is a topic of interest nowadays as it raises the issue of benefits versus increased morbidity. This study aims to identify factors that may influence the development of postoperative complications and death following multivisceral resection. METHODS: The study included 107 patients hospitalized in the Surgical Clinic III of Cluj-Napoca, who underwent multivisceral resections for colorectal cancer pathology. This is a retrospective study covering the period between 2006 and 2010. This study compares the morbidity and mortality following multi-organ resections for locally advanced colorectal cancer, with results in patients with uncomplicated colorectal resections. The study also highlights the impact that certain factors have on the development of postoperative complications. RESULTS: This study shows a higher incidence of death and postoperative complications in the case of multiorgan resections. The differences were found to be statistically significant as follows: postoperative complications: 26% after multiorgan resection and 14% after uncomplicated resection respectively (p = 0.001); postoperative death: 11% after multi-organ resection and 3% after uncomplicated resection respectively (p < 0.001). The factors that have influenced in a negative way the postoperative evolution of the patients were: diabetes, personal history of malignant disease, associated heart disease, major abdominal surgery prior enrolling, the number of resected organs and increased intraoperative blood loss (over 500 ml). CONCLUSION: In cases of locally advanced colorectal neoplasm, multiorgan resection should become the standard indication, as it offers patients their only chance of survival, comparable to that obtained in less advanced stages of the disease. This indication is underlined by the high resecability rate (R0) accomplished in our service. Preoperative compensation of the associated pathologies, the surgery performed by experienced teams, as well as providing an adequate intensive care are required to reduce the postoperative risks.

Amyand's hernia is a rare form of inguinal hernia, where the appendix is included in the hernia sac. We present the emergency case of an 81-year-old patient with right inguinal pseudo-tumor, accompanied by marked local pain, nausea, low grade fever and bowel disorders. Emergency surgery is indicated due to a suspected incarcerated inguinal hernia with imminent strangulation. The intraoperatory findings reveal the presence of a periappendicular abscess as the cause of gangrenous appendicitis, perforated in the right indirect inguinal hernia sac. The practice includes the evacuation of the abscess, appendectomy and surgical cure of the inguinal hernia--Bassini's procedure, Douglas drainage and subcutaneous drainage. The postoperative outcome was favorable, the patient being discharged on the fifth postoperative day. Postoperative checks performed at 3 and 9 months have not revealed the presence of a hernia recurrence.

INTRODUCTION: Colon cancer represents a major health problem in the world. The outcome of newly diagnosed cases predominantly relies on stage as defined by the UICC-TNM and American Joint Committee on Cancer classifications. AIMS: The aim of this retrospective study was to identify the additional prognostic factors for patients with colon cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the incidence and significance of 8 clinical and pathological factors in 225 patients treated over a 2-year period in Surgery Clinic No. III, Cluj-Napoca. In order to avoid selection bias, all cases with a prior diagnostic of colon cancer and intervention for recurrence or metastasis, as well as cases lacking more than 20% of necessary datawere excluded. The candidate variables were analyzed using the Cox Proportional Hazards Model in order to select those who influence the outcome. RESULTS: The overall 5-year survival rate was 42%. Patients treated with resection of the primary tumor had a survival rate of 50%, ranging from 82% in patients with stage I malignancy to 11% in the presence of metastatic disease. 21% of all patients underwent emergency operation for obstruction or perforation but this did not significantly influence survival (p = 0.1). TheTNM stage of the tumor (HR = 1.2-8.4), grade of tumor differentiation (HR = 2.1) and perineural invasion (HR = 1.8) were independent negative prognostic factors. Venous invasion and status of resection margins were found to influence the outcome on univariate analysis, but were discarded when integrated in the multivariate model. The number of lymph nodes analyzed (p = 0.9) and the tumor location (p = 0.3) did not significantly affect the outcome of patients. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the prognosis of newly diagnosed cases of colon cancer is influenced by the TNM stage, the degree of tumor differentiation and the presence of perineural invasion.

PURPOSE: To identify the risk and prognosis factors and their predictive value for anastomotic leakage after colorectal resections following cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 1743 consecutive patients who underwent colic resections or rectal resections for colo-rectal cancer between 1996-2005 in Surgical Clinic no. 3 (Cluj-Napoca, Romania) were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS: A total of 54 (3.09 percent) anastomotic leaks were confirmed. Univariate analisys showed that the preoperative variables significantly associated with anastomotic leakage included weight loss, smoking, cardiovascular disease, lung disease, hypoproteinemia, diabetes, anemia, leukocitosis, presence of two or more underlying diseases. Use of alcohol, cerebrovascular disease, bowel preparation, mode of antibiotic prophylaxis, type of handsewn anastomosis, tumor location, tumor stage and tumor histology were nonsignificant variables. Hipoproteniemia (S - proteins < 60g/dl) and anemia (S Hb < 11) remained significant in logistic regression model. CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that a value of S-proteins lower than 60 g/l and s-Hb lower than 99 g/l can be consider as predictive marker for anastomotik leak deshiscence.

UNLABELLED: The aim of this study was to establish the efficiency, safety and feasibility of laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer by assessing the short-term outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this prospective clinical study, from 2008 to 2011, 60 patients with laparoscopic resection for rectal cancer were included, treated in "Prof. Dr. Octavian Fodor" Gastroenterology and Hepatology Institute, Department of Surgery and Surgery Clinic I, Cluj-Napoca. RESULTS: Surgical procedures included 38 abdominal-perineal resections, 21 anterior resections and 1 Hartmann procedure. Average blood loss was 250 ml (100-800 ml) and median length of postoperative hospital stay was 9 days (4-91 days). Blood loss was significantly higher in patients with low rectal cancer than those with upper rectal cancer (300 ml vs 200 ml, p=0.031). Conversion to open surgery was required in 8 patients (13.3%). Overall postoperative complications were 28.8%. Positive circumferential margins occurred in 1 patient (1.7%), while distal margins were negative in all patients. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic surgery is safe and feasible in selected patients with rectal cancer, with favorable shortterm results.

Few cases of intestinal obstruction complicating an appendiceal mucocele have been recorded. We report the case of a young woman who presented to the emergency room with diffusely abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and disruption of bowel movements. Her abdomen was mildly distended and tympanic. A flat film of the abdomen revealed dilated small bowel loops with air-fluid levels suggestive of small bowel obstruction. She also had leukocytosis. An emergency operation was performed under the diagnosis of intestinal obstruction. The intraoperatory findings showed a tumoral appendiceal mass permeated into the ileum in two distinct points, causing an enteral stenosis. We performed an appendectomy "en bloc" with two enteral loop resections of the permeated ileum followed by two T-T enteral anastomoses. The pathologic examination revealed appendiceal mucinous cystadenoma. Postoperative course was favorable, the patient being discharged on the seventh postoperative day. Postoperative checks performed at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months (including colonoscopy) have not showed pathological changes.

INTRODUCTION: Despite significant progress, the management of acute colonic obstruction still remains a challenging problem. The purpose of this study was represented by the evaluation of the clinical results of different techniques of resection for malignant colorectal (primary or staged) obstruction. METHODS: We performed a non-randomized clinical study. 590 patients with malignant colorectal occlusion who underwent surgery treatment an 3rd Surgical Clinic Cluj-Napoca between 1996-2005 were included. RESULTS: Patients with large bowel obstruction underwent one-stage primary resection with anastomosis in 267 cases or staged interventions in 323 cases. The groups were matched in: age, sex, comorbidities, tumor staging, serum preoperative levels of hemoglobin and proteins. The analysis of mortality and morbidity following surgical treatment for large bowel obstruction returned no significant difference among the two groups (p > 0.05). Moreover, the presented results showed a higher incidence of mortality (11.45% vs 9.33 %), morbidity (25.38% vs 14.6%) and increased hospitalization period (p = 0.029) among the patients that undergone seriate resections. CONCLUSIONS: One stage primary resections with anastomosis of the large bowel can be performed safely in case of emergency whenever patient comorbidities and local conditions do not stand as major restrictions.

Trichobezoar represents a mass of swallowed hair inside the stomach. Here we report a 17-year-old girl who presented in our department with symptoms of gastric ulcer. Ultrasound examination followed by upper endoscopy revealed a large trichobezoar in the stomach with simultaneous gastric perforation. Laparoscopy also revealed a penetration into the anterior abdominal wall accompanied by abscess at this level. We performed a laparoscopic gastrotomy with trichobezoar extraction and laparoscopic treatment of perforation and abdominal wall abscess. The postoperative evolution was normal and the patient was discharged on the fifth postoperative day. We show that laparoscopic approach may be safely used in the treatment of the large gastric complicated trichobezoar. Several laparoscopic approaches were described for the treatment of tricobezoar and its complications but as far as we know this is the first report of laparoscopic treatment of large tricobezoar and associate gastric perforation.

UNLABELLED: The aim of this study was to evaluate the result of liver resection for benign hepatic lesion and to determine the risk factors for postoperative complication. Between January 2001 and December 2006 (6 years), a total of 50 patients with benign hepatic lesion underwent hepatic resection and were retrospectively reviewed. The sex ratio was M/F=31/19 with a mean age of 44 years (range 2-74). The diagnosis was: hydatid cyst in 24 patients (48%); hemangioma in 14 patients (28%), focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) in 6 (12%), hepatic adenoma in 3 cases (6%), and hepatoblastoma in 3 patients (6%). Fourty patients (80%) had symptoms prior to surgery (mainly abdominal pain). The abnormalities were located in 34 cases on the left liver (II-IV Couinaud segments) and in 16 cases on the right liver (V-VIII Couinaud segments). Twenty-nine patients (58%) underwent atypical resections, 4 underwent left hemihepatectomy (8%), 16 underwent left lobectomy (32%) and 1 patient was treated by segmentectomy (2%). Median operating time was 108 minutes (range 60-220) and the median blood lost was 310 ml range (30- 1500). The morbidity rate was 18% (9 patients). Independent risk factors associated with the development of postoperative complication were intraoperative blood lost more than 1200 ml (p=0,015; OR=1,7) and the operating time more than 150 minutes (p=0,048; OR=1,09). There was no mortality. The mean postoperative hospitalization was 7,86 days with the range 3-23 days. CONCLUSION: 1. Liver resections for benign hepatic lesion performed in specialized centers are safe and efficient, with low morbidity and mortality. 2. Postoperative morbidity was related to the intraoperative blood lost more than 1200 ml and to the operating time more than 150 minutes.

PURPOSE: We analyzed the clinical results of different techniques of resection for malignant colorectal (primary or staged) obstruction. METHODS: The subjects of this retrospective nonrandomized clinical study were 165 patients with malignant colorectal occlusion who underwent surgery treatment in our Department between 2002-2006. Patients with peritonitis or treated by means of permanent colostomy, palliative anastomosis, primary Hartman resection and rectal excision were excluded. RESULTS: Patients with large bowel obstruction caused by obstructive malignant colorectal lesions underwent either one-stage primary resection with anastomosis (77 patients) or staged interventions (88 patients). There were no differences in age, sex, comorbidities, tumor staging, serum preoperative levels of hemoglobin and proteins between the two groups of patients defined by the different surgical techniques. Regarding mortality and morbidity following surgical treatment for large bowel obstruction no significant difference among the two groups (p > 0.05) or the fistula rate (p = 0.435) was obtained. Moreover, results showed a higher incidence of mortality (11.8% vs 7.8%), morbidity (13.6 vs 10.4) and increased hospitalization period (p = 0.03) among the patients that undergone series resections. CONCLUSIONS: One stage primary resections with anastomosis of the large bowel can be performed safely in case of emergency whenever patient comorbidities and local conditions do not stand as major restrictions.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Case selection criteria for resection of liver metastasis after colorectal cancer are still incompletely elucidated and represent a subject of great interest recently. Our aim was to evaluate 2-year survival after resection and to identify the survival risk and prediction factors in those cases. METHODS: 63 patients diagnosed and undergoing liver resection for colorectal metastatic disease to the liver at the Surgical University Hospital No.3 (Cluj-Napoca, Romania) between 01.01.2002 and 31.12.2005 were included in the study. Exclusion criteria were: palliative treatment as well as surgical treatment performed in a different surgical centre. After the surgical treatment, patients were followed regularly using clinical assessment on a 3 monthly basis with abdominopelvic ultrasound or computerised tomography annually. The following variables were recorded: age, gender, coexisting medical diseases, blood tests results, tumour site, maximal tumour diameter after resection, duration of surgery, surgical procedure and the clinical outcome until last follow-up, including date of death where appropriate. RESULTS: 2-year post-operative survival was 65.1%. In univariate analysis: age (< 65 vs > = 65 years, p = 0.041), metastasis number (< 3 vs > = 3 tumors, p = 0.049), maximal tumor dimension (< 3 vs > = 3 cm, p = 0.047), glutamine-oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) preoperative level (< 42 vs > = 42 mg/dl, p = 0.018) were significant factors correlated to median survival time. However, non of the above mentioned factors presented independent prediction power in multivariate analysis (Cox regression, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our results support liver metastasis resection without prior case selection except for technically-operative criteria selection.
