RESUMEN
AIM: The aim was to determine the accuracy of C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin and neutrophils in the early detection (fourth postoperative day) of anastomotic leakage (AL) after colorectal surgery. METHODS: We conducted a multicentre, prospective study that included a consecutive series of patients who underwent colorectal resection with anastomosis without ostomy (September 2015 to December 2017). CRP, procalcitonin and neutrophil values on the fourth postoperative day after colorectal resection along with the postoperative outcome (60-day AL, morbidity and mortality) were prospectively included in an online, anonymous database. RESULTS: The analysis ultimately included 2501 cases. The overall morbidity and mortality was 30.1% and 1.6%, respectively, and the AL rate was 8.6%. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve values (95% CI) for detecting AL were 0.84 (0.81-0.87), 0.75 (0.72-0.79) and 0.70 (0.66-0.74) for CRP, procalcitonin and neutrophils, respectively. The best cut-off level for CRP was 119 mg/l, resulting in 70% sensitivity, 81% specificity and 97% negative predictive value. After laparoscopic resection, the accuracy for CRP and procalcitonin was increased, compared with open resection. The combination of two or three of these biomarkers did not significantly increase their accuracy. CONCLUSION: On the fourth postoperative day, CRP was the most reliable marker for excluding AL. Its high negative predictive value, especially after laparoscopic resection, allows for safe hospital discharge on the fourth postoperative day. The routine use of procalcitonin or neutrophil counts does not seem to increase the diagnostic accuracy.

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) are a heterogeneous group and constitute 1.3% of all pancreatic tumors. Approximately 10% of these occur in the context of hereditary syndromes, such as VHL disease. CASE REPORT: We report a case of a female patient of 37 years diagnosed VHL and intervened on several occasions by cerebral hemangioblastoma and renal carcinomas. During its follow-up she was diagnosed 2 gastrinomas functioning under 2 cm were enucleated. Later developed new PNET and underwent a total duodenopancreatectomy without pyloric preservation. DISCUSSION: The management of PNET in VHL is difficult due to the association of multiple tumors in different organs and the morbidity and mortality associated with the surgery of the pancreas. Management must be individualized for each patient, based on the ability to produce hormones and present symptoms, the size and location, and in the context of other tumors that usually present in these patients.

Acute colonic volvulus accounts for 10% of all intestinal obstructions being the transverse colon volvulus an exceptional localization (2-4%). Late diagnosis is made as there are no pathognomonic clinical or radiological findings for this pathology. We present the case of an 81 year-old male with acute transverse colon volvulus that involved the gastric antrum causing irreversible ischemia. Subtotal gastrectomy, subtotal colectomy and reconstruction with Y en Roux gastrojejunostomy and ileosigmoid anastomosis was performed given the good overall status of the patient. Decompressive colonoscopy is not advised given the high probability of ischemic lesions in these cases; surgical exploration is mandatory in these circumstances. Surgical detortion with or without colopexia carries important recurrence rates. Treatment of choice includes colectomy with or without primary anastomosis. There are no reports on gastric ischemic necrosis in the setting of a transverse colon volvulus making this case unusual and unique.

INTRODUCTION: The good results obtained with the implementation of ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy programs have led to the expansion of the initial inclusion criteria. The main objective was to evaluate the results and the degree of satisfaction of the patients included in a program of laparoscopic cholecystectomy without admission, with expanded criteria. METHODS: Observational study of a cohort of 260 patients undergoing ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy between April 2013 and March 2016 in a third level hospital. We classified the patients into 2groups based on compliance with the initial inclusion criteria of the outpatient program. Group I (restrictive criteria) includes 164 patients, while in group ii (expanded criteria) we counted 96 patients. We compared the surgical time, the rate of failures in ambulatory surgery, rate of conversion, reinterventions and mortality and the satisfaction index. RESULTS: The overall success rate of ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy was 92.8%. The most frequent cause of unexpected income was for medical reasons. There was no statistically significant difference between the 2groups for total surgery time, the rate of conversion to open surgery and the number of major postoperative complications Do not demostrate differences in surgical time, nor in the number of perioperative complications (major complications 1,2%), or the number of failures in ambulatory surgery, nor the number of readmissions between both groups. There was no death. 88.5% of patients completed the survey, finding no differences between both groups in the patient satisfaction index. The overall score of the process was significantly better in group ii(P=.023). CONCLUSIONS: Ambulatory laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe procedure with a good acceptance by patients with expanded criteria who were included in the surgery without admission program.

BACKGROUND: The main objective was to identify predictive factors associated with prosthesis infection and mesh explantation after abdominal wall hernia repair (AWHR). METHODS: This is a retrospective review of all patients who underwent AWHR from January 2004 to May 2014 at a tertiary center. Multivariate analysis identified predictors of mesh infection and explantation after AWHR. RESULTS: From 3,470 cases of AWHR, we reported 66 cases (1.9%) of mesh infection, and 48 repairs (72.7%) required mesh explantation. Steroid or immunosuppressive drugs use (odds ratio [OR] 2.22; confidence interval [CI] 1.16 to 3.95), urgent repair (OR 5.06; CI 2.21 to 8.60), and postoperative surgical site infection (OR 2.9; CI 1.55 to 4.10) were predictive of mesh infection. Predictors of mesh explantation were type of mesh (OR 3.13; CI 1.71 to 5.21), onlay position (OR 3.51; CI 1.23 to 6.12), and associated enterotomy in the same procedure (OR 5.17; CI 2.05 to 7.12). CONCLUSIONS: Immunosuppressive drugs use, urgent repair, and postoperative surgical site infection are predictive of mesh infection. Risk factors of prosthesis explantation are polytetrafluoroethylene mesh, onlay mesh position, and associated enterotomy in the same procedure.

Introducción: los tumores neuroendocrinos de páncreas (TNEP) son un grupo heterogéneo y constituyen el 1,3% de todos los tumores pancreáticos. Aproximadamente el 10% aparecen en el contexto de síndromes familiares como el Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL). Caso clínico: presentamos el caso de una paciente mujer de 37 años diagnosticada de VHL e intervenida en varias ocasiones por hemangioblastomas cerebrales y carcinomas renales. Durante su seguimiento se diagnostica de 2 gastrinomas funcionantes menores de 2 cm que se enuclearon. Posteriormente desarrolló nuevo TNEP y se le realizó una duodenopancreatectomía total sin preservación pilórica. Discusión: el manejo de los TNEP en el VHL es difícil debido a la asociación de múltiples tumores en diferentes órganos y a la morbi-mortalidad asociada a la cirugía del páncreas. Su tratamiento hay que individualizarlo en cada paciente, basándonos en su capacidad de producción de hormonas y, por tanto de dar sintomatología, en su tamaño y localización y, además debe ser contextualizado con el resto de tumores que suelen presentar estos pacientes (AU)

Introducción: Los buenos resultados obtenidos con la implementación de los programas de colecistectomía laparoscópica ambulatoria han llevado a la ampliación de los criterios iniciales de inclusión. Como objetivo principal planteamos evaluar los resultados y el grado de satisfacción de los pacientes incluidos en un programa de colecistectomía laparoscópica sin ingreso, con criterios expandidos. Métodos: Estudio observacional de una cohorte de 260 pacientes intervenidos de colecistectomía laparoscópica ambulatoria entre abril del 2013 y marzo del 2016 en un hospital de tercer nivel. Clasificamos a los pacientes en 2 grupos en función del cumplimiento de los criterios iniciales de inclusión del programa ambulatorio. El grupo I (criterios restrictivos) incluye a 164 pacientes, mientras que, en el grupo II, se incluyen 96 pacientes (criterios expandidos: no cumplían alguno de los criterios de selección). Comparamos el tiempo quirúrgico, la tasa de ingresos no deseados, tasa de conversión, reintervenciones, mortalidad y el índice de satisfacción. Resultados: El porcentaje global de éxito de la colecistectomía laparoscópica ambulatoria fue del 92,8%. La causa más frecuente de ingresos no esperados fue por causas médicas. No se objetivaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre los 2 grupos en la duración del procedimiento quirúrgico, en la tasa de conversión a cirugía abierta, ni en el número de complicaciones mayores posquirúrgicas. Cumplimentaron la encuesta el 88,5% de los pacientes, no encontrando diferencias entre los 2 grupos en el índice de satisfacción de los pacientes. La calificación global del proceso fue significativamente mejor en el grupo ii (p = 0,023). Conclusiones: La colecistectomía laparoscópica ambulatoria es un procedimiento seguro y con una buena aceptación por parte del grupo de pacientes con criterios expandidos que fueron incluidos en el programa de cirugía sin ingreso
