ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Enhanced recovery after bariatric surgery (ERABS) protocols consist of a combination of several preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative methods for the management of the surgical patient. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the ERABS protocol on length of hospital stay (LOS) and postoperative complications. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective study of patients who underwent elective Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) between 2015 and 2018. From 2015 to 2017, patients received traditional management (pre-ERABS group). Those who underwent surgery during 2018 were managed with our ERABS protocol (ERABS group). The primary outcome was LOS. Secondary outcomes were readmission rate and 30-day postoperative complications. RESULTS: A total of 200 patients who received RYGB and SG between 2015 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed; we included 120 patients in the pre-ERABS group and 80 in the ERABS group. The median LOS was four days [2-49] in the pre-ERABS group, as compared with two days [1-26] in the ERABS group (p < .0001). No significant differences were found in postoperative complication rates, readmissions, and mortality. CONCLUSION: Implementation of the ERABS protocol is related to a better postoperative recovery and allows an early discharge without increasing postoperative complications, readmissions or mortality.

INTRODUCCIÓN: La ecografía de reevaluación, o de «second-look» (ESL), es útil para caracterizar lesiones de nueva aparición identificadas durante el estudio mediante resonancia magnética (RM). También puede ayudar a optimizar el tratamiento quirúrgico, ya que permite realizar biopsias y obtener un resultado anatomopatológico de las lesiones. El objetivo de este estudio es determinar la utilidad de la ESL para la identificación y la caracterización de lesiones detectadas incidentalmente por RM, así como la repercusión posterior en el manejo quirúrgico. MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo en el que se incluyen mujeres diagnosticadas de cáncer de mama a las que se les realiza ESL tras RM, entre 2013 y 2015. Se recogieron datos epidemiológicos, del tumor primario, características de las lesiones identificadas por RM y posteriormente por ESL, procedimientos quirúrgicos y resultados anatomopatológicos. RESULTADOS: Se identificaron 168 lesiones nuevas mediante RM en 110 pacientes. De ellas, 123 (73,2%) fueron objetivadas posteriormente en la ESL. De acuerdo con el sistema BI-RADS, 88 (71,6%) lesiones se caracterizaron como BI-RADS3 y 24 (19,5%) como BI-RADS4. El resultado de la biopsia tras ESL fue de malignidad en 17 lesiones, lo cual conlleva un cambio de actitud quirúrgica en 15 pacientes. CONCLUSIONES: La ESL puede ser útil para optimizar el tratamiento quirúrgico de las pacientes con cáncer de mama en las que se detecta una nueva lesión mediante RM, permitiendo caracterizar, localizar dicha lesión y realizar biopsias para obtener un resultado anatomopatológico que nos ayude a decidir si es necesaria su exéresis
INTRODUCTION: Second-look ultrasound (SLU) is useful to characterise new lesions identified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). SLU may also help to optimise surgical treatment since it allows the performance of biopsies and histopathological analysis of the lesions. The aim of this study was to determine the utility of SLU to identify and characterise lesions initially detected by MRI, as well as its subsequent influence on surgical management. MATERIAL AND METHOD: We performed an observational retrospective study that included women diagnosed with breast cancer who underwent SLU after MRI between 2013 and 2015. We collected data on epidemiological factors, the primary tumour, the characteristics of the lesions identified by MRI and subsequently by SLU, surgical procedures, and histopathological results. RESULTS: A total of 168 new lesions were identified by MRI in 110 patients. Of these, 123 (73.2%) were subsequently identified in SLU. Using the BI-RADS system, 88 (71.6%) lesions were classified as BI-RADS3 and 24 (19.5%) as BI-RADS4. The result of biopsy after SLU was malignancy in 17 lesions, leading to a change of surgical management in 15 patients. CONCLUSIONS: SLU can be useful to optimise the surgical treatment of patients with breast cancer and detection of a new lesion by MRI. SLU allows these lesions to be characterised and localised and biopsies to be taken. This in turn allows histopathological analysis, which helps to determine the need for extirpation of the lesion

A 54-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency department with a 2-week history of alimentary vomiting. She had undergone laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding 6 years earlier. CT revealed a mesenteroaxial gastric volvulus and ischemia on the gastric wall. Emergent diagnostic laparoscopy was performed, and severe peritonitis and gastric necrosis caused by volvulation was found. After band removal, a fundal perforation was noted, but a viable lesser curvature enabled laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy to be performed. The postoperative course was uneventful. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding is considered a safe and effective method for the surgical treatment of obesity, but it is associated with a number of complications, such as pouch dilatation and band slippage. Although infrequent, ischemic complications are life-threatening conditions that require urgent surgery. This is the first report of this unusual complication managed laparoscopically.

El tumor de células granulares de la mama es una neoplasia infrecuente y generalmente benigna derivada de las células de Schwann. Presentamos el caso de una mujer con tumor de células granulares de la mama, así como una revisión de los casos descritos en la literatura médica española durante los últimos 20 años. Debido a que clínica y radiológicamente pueden presentarse de forma muy diversa, y simular un carcinoma de mama, el tumor de células granulares debe incluirse en el diagnóstico diferencial de los tumores de la mama por las implicaciones terapéuticas que conlleva (AU)
Granular cell tumours of the breast are an uncommon and generally benign neoplasm, which arise from Schwann cells. We present the case of a woman with a granular cell tumour of the breast and provide a review of cases published in the Spanish medical literature during the last 20 years. Clinically and radiologically these tumours often show diverse presentation and can simulate other lesions like breast carcinoma. Consequently, to provide appropriate treatment, granular cell tumours of the breast must be included in the differential diagnosis of breast neoplasms (AU)

BACKGROUNDS/AIMS: Mirizzi syndrome (MS) is an uncommon complication of cholelithiasis. The aim of this study is to evaluate our 15-year experience in this challenging entity and to propose a new classification for this disease. METHODS: A retrospective study including patients diagnosed with Mirizzi syndrome and undergoing surgical procedures for Mirizzi syndrome between January 2000 and October 2015 was conducted. Data collected included clinical, surgical procedure, postoperative morbidity. Patients were evaluated according to the Csendes classification and the proposed system, in which patients were divided into three types and three subtypes. RESULTS: 28 patients were included for analysis. They accounted as the 0.5% of a total of 4853 cholecystectomies performed in the study period. There were 21 women and 7 men. Initial laparotomic approach was performed in 12 patients and in 16 patients laparoscopic procedures were attempted. The procedure was completed in only 6 patients, 5 presenting type I and 1 type II Mirizzi syndrome. Mean postoperative stay was 15±9 days. Postoperative morbidity rate was 28%. Postoperative mortality was none. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic surgery for Mirizzi syndrome has been shown succesful only in early stages. A novel classification is proposed, based on the types of common bile duct injuries and in the presence cholecystoenteric fistula.

Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is a radiological finding representing the presence of gas in the bowell, independently of the cause or location. We present the case of a 55-year-old man who was admitted presenting two-week history of intense vomiting. The patient was previously diagnosed with superior mesenteric artery syndrome and celiac disease. Plain x-ray and TC showed gastric and intestinal pneumatosis with important retropneumoperitoneum. Due to clinical stability the patient was managed conservatively, with a favorable outcome.
