Abstract
BACKGROUND The suspension of the penis is provided by two ligaments: fundiform and suspensory. These ligaments are sectioned during some augmentative surgical procedures. The structure, the relations and the variability of these ligaments have been demonstrated. The penile neurovascular bundle and its relationships have also been emphasized. A clear knowledge of these details should ensure a reduction of the risk of surgical injury during augmentation procedures. RESULTS We dissected the ligaments providing the suspension of the penis in 7 formalized corpses. We identified, for each of the ligaments, the origin, the insertion and the relations. The dissection pieces were photographed and the images obtained were discussed upon. We described the variability of the anatomical distribution and highlighted the relations with the vascular and nervous structures for each of these ligaments. The anatomical variability of the fascia and the relations with the base of the penis were also emphasized. For the suspensory ligament, we identified three groups of fibers through which it is attached to the penile body. CONCLUSIONS The dissections were conducted in layers, corresponding to the operative steps for the penile augmentation procedures. We believe that our study highlights the anatomical basis necessary to safely perform these surgeries. The study contributes to the description of the anatomical variability of the ligaments and logically presents details that contribute to preventing most surgical incidents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. METHODS This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low-middle-income countries. RESULTS In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of 'single-use' consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low-middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. CONCLUSION This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high- and low-middle-income countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Since its outbreak in early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has diverted resources from non-urgent and elective procedures, leading to diagnosis and treatment delays, with an increased number of neoplasms at advanced stages worldwide. The aims of this study were to quantify the reduction in surgical activity for indeterminate thyroid nodules during the COVID-19 pandemic; and to evaluate whether delays in surgery led to an increased occurrence of aggressive tumours. METHODS In this retrospective, international, cross-sectional study, centres were invited to participate in June 22, 2022; each centre joining the study was asked to provide data from medical records on all surgical thyroidectomies consecutively performed from Jan 1, 2019, to Dec 31, 2021. Patients with indeterminate thyroid nodules were divided into three groups according to when they underwent surgery: from Jan 1, 2019, to Feb 29, 2020 (global prepandemic phase), from March 1, 2020, to May 31, 2021 (pandemic escalation phase), and from June 1 to Dec 31, 2021 (pandemic decrease phase). The main outcomes were, for each phase, the number of surgeries for indeterminate thyroid nodules, and in patients with a postoperative diagnosis of thyroid cancers, the occurrence of tumours larger than 10 mm, extrathyroidal extension, lymph node metastases, vascular invasion, distant metastases, and tumours at high risk of structural disease recurrence. Univariate analysis was used to compare the probability of aggressive thyroid features between the first and third study phases. The study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT05178186. FINDINGS Data from 157 centres (n=49 countries) on 87 467 patients who underwent surgery for benign and malignant thyroid disease were collected, of whom 22 974 patients (18 052 [78·6%] female patients and 4922 [21·4%] male patients) received surgery for indeterminate thyroid nodules. We observed a significant reduction in surgery for indeterminate thyroid nodules during the pandemic escalation phase (median monthly surgeries per centre, 1·4 [IQR 0·6-3·4]) compared with the prepandemic phase (2·0 [0·9-3·7]; p<0·0001) and pandemic decrease phase (2·3 [1·0-5·0]; p<0·0001). Compared with the prepandemic phase, in the pandemic decrease phase we observed an increased occurrence of thyroid tumours larger than 10 mm (2554 [69·0%] of 3704 vs 1515 [71·5%] of 2119; OR 1·1 [95% CI 1·0-1·3]; p=0·042), lymph node metastases (343 [9·3%] vs 264 [12·5%]; OR 1·4 [1·2-1·7]; p=0·0001), and tumours at high risk of structural disease recurrence (203 [5·7%] of 3584 vs 155 [7·7%] of 2006; OR 1·4 [1·1-1·7]; p=0·0039). INTERPRETATION Our study suggests that the reduction in surgical activity for indeterminate thyroid nodules during the COVID-19 pandemic period could have led to an increased occurrence of aggressive thyroid tumours. However, other compelling hypotheses, including increased selection of patients with aggressive malignancies during this period, should be considered. We suggest that surgery for indeterminate thyroid nodules should no longer be postponed even in future instances of pandemic escalation. FUNDING None.

Abstract
Choledochal cysts (CCs) are rare occurrences presenting as dilatations of biliary structures, which can present as single or multiple dilatations and can appear as both intra- and extrahepatic anomalies. The most widespread classification of CCs is the Todani classification, but there have been numerous reports of cysts that do not fall into any of the types described. We present such a case—a male patient 36 years of age who underwent preoperative CT, MRCP, and ERCP, which mistakenly indicated a type II Todani CC, and intraoperatively was found to be located at the confluence of the hepatic ducts and encompassed the origin of the common bile duct. Complete resection of the cyst and the proximal segment of the common bile duct was performed, and reconstruction was carried out by Roux-en-Y double-tutorized hepaticojejunostomy. Considering the risk of malignant transformation, the frequent preoperative misdiagnosis, as well as the technically challenging surgery required in such cases, we advocate for a revision of the classification and raise awareness of the need for guidelines regarding the proper short-term and long-term management of this disease to ensure adequate quality of life and disease-free survival for patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of the highly morbid and potentially lethal gangrenous cholecystitis was reportedly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of the ChoCO-W study was to compare the clinical findings and outcomes of acute cholecystitis in patients who had COVID-19 disease with those who did not. METHODS Data were prospectively collected over 6 months (October 1, 2020, to April 30, 2021) with 1-month follow-up. In October 2020, Delta variant of SARS CoV-2 was isolated for the first time. Demographic and clinical data were analyzed and reported according to the STROBE guidelines. Baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients who had COVID-19 were compared with those who did not. RESULTS A total of 2893 patients, from 42 countries, 218 centers, involved, with a median age of 61.3 (SD: 17.39) years were prospectively enrolled in this study; 1481 (51%) patients were males. One hundred and eighty (6.9%) patients were COVID-19 positive, while 2412 (93.1%) were negative. Concomitant preexisting diseases including cardiovascular diseases (p < 0.0001), diabetes (p < 0.0001), and severe chronic obstructive airway disease (p = 0.005) were significantly more frequent in the COVID-19 group. Markers of sepsis severity including ARDS (p < 0.0001), PIPAS score (p < 0.0001), WSES sepsis score (p < 0.0001), qSOFA (p < 0.0001), and Tokyo classification of severity of acute cholecystitis (p < 0.0001) were significantly higher in the COVID-19 group. The COVID-19 group had significantly higher postoperative complications (32.2% compared with 11.7%, p < 0.0001), longer mean hospital stay (13.21 compared with 6.51 days, p < 0.0001), and mortality rate (13.4% compared with 1.7%, p < 0.0001). The incidence of gangrenous cholecystitis was doubled in the COVID-19 group (40.7% compared with 22.3%). The mean wall thickness of the gallbladder was significantly higher in the COVID-19 group [6.32 (SD: 2.44) mm compared with 5.4 (SD: 3.45) mm; p < 0.0001]. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of gangrenous cholecystitis is higher in COVID patients compared with non-COVID patients admitted to the emergency department with acute cholecystitis. Gangrenous cholecystitis in COVID patients is associated with high-grade Clavien-Dindo postoperative complications, longer hospital stay and higher mortality rate. The open cholecystectomy rate is higher in COVID compared with non -COVID patients. It is recommended to delay the surgical treatment in COVID patients, when it is possible, to decrease morbidity and mortality rates. COVID-19 infection and gangrenous cholecystistis are not absolute contraindications to perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy, in a case by case evaluation, in expert hands.

Abstract
Organ preservation and functional resections are the mainstays of most surgical sub-specialties at the present time. This is even more evident in endocrine surgery, where the product of secretion of these petit organs is of paramount importance. Partial adrenalectomy and cortical sparing techniques have evolved to actually compete with total adrenalectomy, the historical gold standard treatment. Much refined imaging techniques can readily identify smaller adrenal lesions that can be addressed surgically or percutaneously given the indication. The trend towards partial adrenalectomy is straightforward in bilateral disease where steroid replacement can be avoided while for unilateral disease, normal hormonal levels can be obtained. The reviewed publications offer deep insight into the advancement of partial or cortical sparing adrenal procedures from pioneering work to large cohort studies.

Abstract
Elements that comprise the inferior hypogastric plexus are difficult to expose, intricate, and highly variable and can easily be damaged during local surgical procedures. We aimed to highlight, through dissection, the origin, formation, and distribution of the hypogastric nervous structures and follow them in the female pelvis. We performed detailed dissections on 7 female formalin-fixed cadavers, focusing on structures surrounding the pelvic organs. For each hemipelvis, we removed the peritoneum from the pelvic floor, and after we identified the hypogastric nerves, we continued our dissection towards the inferior hypogastric plexuses, following the branches of the latter. Laterorectally, the hypogastric nerves form the inferior hypogastric plexus, a variable structure - nervous lamina, neuronal network (more frequently), or sometimes a combination of them. We identified three components of the inferior hypogastric plexus. The anterior bundle travels towards the base of the urinary bladder, the middle part innervates the uterus and the vagina, and the posterior segment provides the innervation of the rectum. The plexus can be identified after removing the pelvic peritoneum and the subperitoneal adipose tissue. Intraoperatively, the structures can be preserved by using an immediately-subperitoneal dissection plane. The variable branches are relatively well-organized around the pelvic vessels, supplying the urinary bladder, the genital organs, and the rectum. The ureter is surrounded by some branches, especially in its last segment, and it also receives innervation directly from the hypogastric nerve. Close to the viscera, the nerves enter neurovascular plexuses, making the intraoperative separation of the nerves and the vessels virtually impossible.

Abstract
The pre-lacrimal recess approach is modernly used for lesions of the anterior maxillary wall and for reaching paramedian cranial base regions. In this computed-tomography study, we assessed the pre-lacrimal recess types as well as the angles between the anterior and medial maxillary walls and between the anterior maxillary wall and the lateral margin of the nasolacrimal canal to show the feasibility of the pre-lacrimal recess approach in reaching lesions of the infratemporal and pterygopalatine fossae, using 30 computed-tomography studies (60 sides). A type I pre-lacrimal recess was identified in 22 cases (35%), type II was identified in 31 cases (53.30%), and type III in 7 cases (11.66%). We found that angle 1 (the angle between the anterior maxillary wall and the medial maxillary wall) had a mean value of 80.8° (minimum 75.5°, maximum 85.8°), while angle 2 (the angle between the anterior maxillary wall and the lateral margin of the nasolacrimal canal) had a mean value of 59.1° (minimum 57.6°, maximum 60.1°). We consider the pre-lacrimal recess approach a very good option for the anterior maxillary wall, the alveolar recess, and in reaching the infratemporal fossa and lateral part of the pterygopalatine fossa. In cases where direct visualization of the medial part of the pterygopalatine fossa is needed, the pre-lacrimal recess approach could not be the perfect option.

Abstract
Despite concerns regarding oncologic safety, laparoscopic surgery for colon cancer has been proven in several trials in the lasts decades to be superior to open surgery. In addition, the benefits of laparoscopic surgery can be offered to other patients with malignant disease. The aim of the present study was to compare the quality of oncologic resection for non-metastatic, resectable colon cancer between laparoscopic and open surgery in terms of specimen margins and retrieved lymph nodes in a medium volume center in Romania. A total of 219 patients underwent surgery for non-metastatic colon cancer between January 2017 and December 2020. Of these, 52 underwent laparoscopic resection, while 167 had open surgery. None of the patients in the laparoscopic group had positive circumferential margins (P=0.035) while 12 (7.19%) patients in the open group (OG) had positive margins. A total of three patients in the laparoscopic group (5.77%) and seven patients (4.19%) in the OG had invaded axial margins. While the number of retrieved lymph nodes was not correlated with the type of procedure [laparoscopic group 16.12 (14±6.56), OG 17.31 (15±8.42), P=0.448], the lymph node ratio was significantly higher in the OG (P=0.003). Given the results of the present study, it is safe to conclude that laparoscopic surgery is not inferior to open surgery for non-metastatic colon cancer in a medium volume center.

Abstract
Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy in situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a technically and physically demanding procedure for surgeons and there is still a lack of consensus regarding the best technical approach in such cases. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate port placement, the dominant hand of the surgeon, preoperative imaging, morbidity, and mortality. Methods: We searched MEDLINE, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library for studies of patients with SIT that underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Of 387 identified records, 101 met our inclusion criteria, all of them case reports or case series of maximum of 6 patients. Results: Out of the 121 patients included in the analysis, 94 were operated on using a “mirrored American” technique, 12 using the “Mirrored French”, 9 employed single-port techniques, and 6 described novel port placements. Even though most surgeries were conducted by a right-handed surgeon (93 cases), surgeries performed by the seven left-handed surgeons yielded shorter intervention times (p = 0.024). Preoperative imaging (CT, MRI, MRCP, ERCP) also correlated with a lower duration of surgery (p = 0.038. Length of stay was associated with the type of disease, but not with other studied endpoints. Morbidity was less than 1%, and conversion rates and mortality were nil. Conclusions: Cholecystectomy in SIT is a safe but challenging procedure and surgeons should prepare in advance for the unfamiliar aspects of completing such a task. While preoperative imaging and a left-handed surgeon are beneficial in terms of surgery length, when these are not available surgeons should focus on achieving the most comfortable setting based on their experience and tailor their approach to the patient at hand. Further studies are needed in order to properly describe and evaluate intraoperative findings as well as surgeon-dependent factors that could improve future recommendations.

Abstract
The best way to start a paper like this is with a citation from W. Edwards Deming: Without data, you're just another person with an opinion. In the era of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) every surgical procedure has to be backed up by solid statistical data to offer our patients the best treatment. But is EBM always the path to truth? We decided to analyze the literature for achalasia and see if the guidelines and the data are reliable enough to justify a certain attitude. Practically, we engaged in this endeavor not because we do not trust the statements of the guidelines, but to see if a surgeon can find by themselves the proper attitude in this disease. Achalasia is a motility disorder of the esophagus characterized by deficient relaxation of the inferior esophageal sphincter that results in dysphagia. There are several methods of treatment, with various statements in the guidelines. Currently, every treatment should be sustained by data and statistics, evidence-based medicine being mandatory when a method is preferred over another. This article reviews several studies and also the available guidelines in search for an answer to the question which procedure is the best.

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.

Abstract
Anastomotic fistulae are the most common and dreaded postoperative complications of pancreaticoduodenectomy. Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) and slow recovery of bowel function are contributing causes for postoperative pancreatic fistula (PoPF) that should be taken into consideration. The present study evaluates data from 17 consecutive cases that underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma with pancreaticojejunal anastomosis and circular stapled mechanical gastrojejunal anastomosis instead of the standard terminolateral technique. Three patients developed Grade A DGE (one also developed grade B PoPF) and one patient required reinsertion of the nasogastric tube due to Grade B PoPF. Overall, the incidence of DGE was 23.5%. Three patients developed Grade B pancreatic fistulae that were successfully managed conservatively. Twelve patients resumed early bowel movement within 4 days, two reinterventions were required for postoperative bleeding. Mean hospital stay was 11.5 days. Patients with DGE had a mean hospital stay of 14.5 days. No gastrojejunostomy leak was encountered. Mortality was nil. Therefore we consider the posterior circular stapled gastrojejunostomy a simple, reproducible, safe technical alternative for avoiding DGE and consequently help lower the risk of PoPF, increased costs associated with prolonged hospital stay and an improved postoperative quality of life.

Abstract
Takotsubo syndrome is a rare cause of systolic dysfunction and can be found as a clinical manifestation of pheochromocytoma. We present a case of rapid onset of systolic dysfunction with cardiogenic shock, which developed after the surgical excision of an adrenal gland tumor in a 60-year-old male. Coronary angiography excluded coronary artery disease. The echocardiography and ventriculography images suggested Takotsubo cardiomyopathy pattern. Following 2 weeks of inotropic and vasopressor therapy, the left ventricular function gradually improved, until complete resolution.

Abstract
Background: Acute cholangitis is a systemic disease caused by acute inflammation and infection of the biliary tree and carries significant morbidity and mortality rates. The most common cause of acute cholangitis is choledocholithiasis, which can lead to an increased death rate in severe forms and in the absence of appropriate treatment. The clinical Charcot's triad is outdated due to low sensitivity and has been replaced with the criteria established by the Tokyo guidelines. The criteria of diagnosis are based on the presence of systemic inflammation, cholestasis and/or jaundice and biliary obstruction documented by imaging studies. Depending on the severity of the disease, treatment varies from antibiotic therapy to emergency endoscopic biliary drainage. In severe cases the first-line treatment is achieved by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Method: To evaluate the effectiveness of urgent ERCP treatment in patients with acute cholangitis, a retrospective data analysis was performed of 185 patients that underwent endoscopic interventions between 2018 and September 2020, 74 patients of which have been identified with different grades of acute cholangitis. Results: The studied group consisted of 42 women (56.7%) and 32 men (43.3%), with a mean age of 62.2 (38-93) years. Obstructive choledocholithiasis was as the main cause of cholangitis (44 patients, 59.5%), with varying degrees of severity - grade I (41, 55.4%), grade II (22 patients, 29.7%) and grade III (11 patients, 14.8%). For cases with grade II and III of severity (33 patients, 44.5%), the endoscopic intervention took place in the first 12-24 hours after admission. Patients that had endoscopic dezobstruction in the first 12-24 hours had normal blood tests in 4.7 days (mean) and 5.8 days (mean) of hospital stay while patients that had dezobstruction more than 24 hours after admission had normal blood tests in 6.3 days (mean) and 7.6 days of hospital stay. Mortality was 5.4%, all 4 patients having grade III severity cholangitis. Conclusion: Patients that benefited from endoscopic biliary drainage in the first 24 hours after admission had a faster recovery, decreased duration of antibiotic therapy, decreased duration of hospital stay, lower morbidity and mortality rate compared to those that suffered the intervention more than 24 hours after admission.

Abstract
Surgical clip migration in the common bile duct with consecutive stone formation is a rare occurrence after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, less than 100 cases being reported so far. We report a case of a 55-year-old woman with obstructive jaundice due to bile duct stone formed around a migrated surgical clip 9 years after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The patient presented with pain in the upper abdomen and jaundice. Abdominal ultrasound diagnosed dilation of the common bile duct and intrahepatic bile ducts. The diagnosis was confirmed by computed tomography which revealed a metal clip in the distal part of the common bile duct. The patient was managed successfully by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and the surgical clip was retrieved using the Dormia basket. The exact mechanism of clip migration is not fully understood but may be explained by local inflammation and ineffective clipping. Although a rare occurrence, clip migration should not be excluded when considering the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with obstructive jaundice or cholangitis after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Minimally invasive management by ERCP is the procedure of choice for migrated clips related complications but surgical common bile duct exploration may be necessary.

Abstract
Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is currently considered the gold standard for adrenal tumors up to 6 cm, and although with far less morbidity than the open alternative, when it comes to its complications we should not look away. The case concerns a 51-year old obese male that underwent left laparoscopic adrenalectomy for incidentaloma and developed pancreatic tail fistula. Without an evident pancreatic lesion during surgery and an uneventful early postoperative course the patient was discharged only to return 4 days later with respiratory symptoms and mild abdominal discomfort in the left upper quadrant. The CT scan diagnosed a left subphrenic fluid collection and left basal pneumonia, thus the patient underwent laparoscopic reintervention for drainage of the pancreatic fluid collection and received conventional antibiotherapy for pneumonia. The patient was discharged in good condition with the drainage tube in situ. The drainage tube was extracted 14 days later.

Abstract
Background: Post-surgical hypoparathyroidism (PoSH) is a common long-term complication after thyroid surgery. The reported median (range) incidence rates of temporary and permanent PoSH was 27% (19 - 38%) and 1% (0 - 3%) respectively. Material and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the files of 552 patients who underwent thyroidectomy in our surgery department between 2015- 2017 with the aim to assess the prevalence of PoSH and to identify patient and disease related factors associated with postoperative hypocalcemia. Results: 171 (30.97%) patients developed PoSH, 88.37% transient, 11.63% permanent. The median (IQR) duration of postoperative hypocalcemia was 60 (67.5) days. Preoperative biological parameters were similar in PoSH and the control group, except median (IQR) serum magnesium level that was significantly higher in PoSH group [2.04 (0.17) vs. 1.89 (0.28) mg/dl, p=0.005]. In the subgroup of patients with thyroid carcinoma the surgery duration was longer in PoSH patients compared to the control group [135 (60) vs. 110 (43) minutes, p=0.020]. In patients with PoSH, median post-operative serum calcium was significantly higher in patients with reported difficult surgery [8.2 (0.2) vs. 7.9 (0.6) mg/dl, p=0.043] and the mean serum calcium decrease was higher in patients with cervical neck dissection and lymphadenectomy (1.94 +-0.59 vs. 1.68 +-0.56 mg/dl, p=0.033). Conclusions: Our data show a high prevalence of PoSH that is likely to increase given the rising number of thyroid surgeries being performed. Further research is needed in order to better define this condition, to establish appropriate treatment and preventive measures.

Abstract
Since its first description in 1992, laparoscopic adrenalectomy has become the standard of treatment for most benign and low grade small adrenal tumors but due to the low incidence of adrenal disease, it remains a rarely performed intervention outside referral or excellence centers. Although laparoscopic surgery had a positive impact on complications of adrenalectomy, surgical risk should be thoroughly assessed when it comes to secreting or large tumors. This is a retrospective analysis of laparoscopic adrenalectomies performed in the first 4 years of practice 2007-2010 - the early experience including the learning curve of the senior surgeon, and our late experience from 2016 to 2019. All interventions were performed by a single team led by a senior surgeon with extensive experience in advanced laparoscopic surgery, using the lateral transperitoneal approach. In total, 82 cases were included, out of 153 laparoscopic adrenalectomies performed between 2007 and 2019. Only one conversion was recorded during the early experience and two laparoscopic reinterventions were needed for hemostasis and drainage. Non-secreting adenoma was the most frequent indication for surgery (26 cases) followed by Cushing's Syndrome (22 cases) while adrenocortical carcinoma was diagnosed in 3 cases. Significant differences were found between the two periods regarding operative time and length of postoperative hospital stay (p 0.001). With growing experience in laparoscopic transperitoneal adrenalectomy, less complications and shorter operative time and postoperative hospital stay are to be expected.

Abstract
The current concept of complete resection of thyroid parenchyma shifted the practice from subtotal thyroidectomy to total thyroidectomy for a wide range of benign and malignant thyroid affliction and brought the tubercle of Zuckerkandl once again into attention. This embryological remnant has been shown to have a constant relationship with the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the superior parathyroid gland and may be used as a landmark for safe dissection. In order to assess if the presence of the tubercle of Zukerkandl has an impact on the most important complications of thyroid surgery, we have prospectively studied 128 patients diagnosed with nodular goiter who underwent total thyroidectomy. Grade 0 or the absence of the tubercle of Zuckerkandl, according to Pellizo et al, was noted in 42 cases (32.8%). During surgery, we identified 38 grade 1 tubercles (29.7%), 31 grade 2 tubercles (24.2%) and 16 grade 3 tubercles (12.5%). Out of 11 bilateral tubercles, 4 were measured as grade 3.Of all 47 patients with grade 2 and 3 tubercles, 18 (38.3%) developed transient postoperative hypocalcemia (p 0.0001, r=0.47) and 10 (21.3%) transient postoperative nerve palsy (p=0.004, r=0.25). All patients fully recovered during follow-up. The tubercle of Zuckerkandl, when present and of significant macroscopic size is associated with increased rates of transient postoperative hypocalcemia and recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy.

Abstract
Introduction Surgery for thyroid cancer carries a higher risk of morbidity given the region's complicated anatomy, the setting of malignancy and extent of the surgery. Aim To investigate the rate of complications related to the recurrent nerve and parathyroid glands lesions in patients with thyroid carcinoma that undergo thyroid surgery and lymph node dissection. Patients and Methods The data of 71 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy and 19 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy and central neck dissection with various associated neck dissection techniques were investigated using appropriate statistical tests. Results As expected, the rate of recurrent nerve injury observed in the neck dissection group was higher than in the total thyroidectomy group (15.7% vs. 2.8%, p=0.05). As for postoperative hypocalcemia, the rate observed in the neck dissection group, both for postoperative day 1 (p<0.0001) and day 30 (p=0.0003) was higher than in the total thyroidectomy group (68.4% vs. 19.7% postoperative day 1, 31.5% vs. 4.2% postoperative day 30). Conclusions The risk of morbidity concerning the recurrent nerve injury and postoperative hypoparathyroidism increases with the extent of surgery. Extensive surgery may achieve proper oncologic outcomes but increases the risk of postoperative morbidity and decreases quality of life. In deciding for extensive surgery, both patient and medical team need to understand these risks.

Abstract
Introduction: Complicated colon cancer most frequently presents as obstruction and needs emergency surgery. Most of these patients receive their diagnosis when presenting for complicated disease and by that time the disease is usually advanced. While concerned first with the survival of the patient, the curative intent of the resection following the principles of oncologic resection may come in second place. Materials and methods: We retrospectively analyzed 68 consecutive patients with complicated colon cancer that suffered emergency surgery between January 2017 and September 2018. The principles of oncologic resection were analyzed in terms of resection margins and retrieved lymph nodes and/or multivisceral resections in order to achieve clear margins. Intestinal obstruction was observed in 58 patients (85.3%), perforation was found in 8 patients (11.8%) while lower gastrointestinal bleeding complicated 2 cases (2.9%). Twenty-two patients had distant metastases at presentation, and overall 29 patients (42,6%) had stage IV disease. Clear circumferential margins were achieved in 55 cases while longitudinal margins were found to be invaded in 2 cases and the mean number of retrieved lymph nodes was greater than 13.7. The mean hospital stay was 13.9 days and the observed in hospital mortality was 19.1%. Results: The outcomes of surgery for complicated colon cancer in our department fall within the reported literature results. Conclusion: The principles of oncologic resection in terms of surgical margins and retrieved lymph nodescan be respected during emergency surgery and offer the intent of cure for these patients with advanced disease.

Abstract
Peritoneal encapsulation (PE) is a rare anatomic anomaly which occurs due to an accessory peritoneal sac covering the small bowel which can cause chronic recurrent abdominal pain and even small bowel obstruction, most often in children or patients with no previous surgical history. The diagnosis is usually made during surgery, but recently it has been suggested that mindful examination of the abdominal CT may be helpful in considering PE beforehand. We present the case of a 21-year old patient who was admitted due to intense abdominal pain, asymmetrical abdominal distension, air fluid levels on the abdominal X-ray, but no specific findings on the abdominal CT. He underwent emergency surgery and PE was found and the peritoneal sac was excised. The postoperative course was uneventful. Histopathologic examination of the specimen confirmed the diagnosis. PE is often misdiagnosed as abdominal cocoon or sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, but it is a pathology with a much lower rate of recurrence and postoperative complications, which can be treated successfully if the surgeon is aware of this pathology when making the differential diagnosis.

Abstract
Esophageal foreign bodies are a relatively frequent pathology which does not need any kind of treatment in up to 80% of cases. Ten to 20% of patients are treated endoscopically, while less than 1% need surgery either due to perforation or to treat complications. We address the case of a 50 year old male who presented with an impacted esophageal foreign body which had perforated the esophageal wall. Flexible endoscopy confirmed the diagnosis and identified a large fish bone that was stuck transversally in the distal cervical esophagus and could not be mobilized. Surgery was mandatory in this case, with the extraction of the bone and double-layer suture, which did not prevent the appearence of an esophageal leakage more than two weeks postoperatively, which was treated conservatively. Even if it is rarely employed in the treatment of gastrointestinal foreign bodies, surgical treatment is unavoidable in cases of irretrievable esophageal foreign bodies or esophageal perforation.

Abstract
Laparoscopic adrenalectomy became the gold standard for adrenal disease, from incidentaloma to cancer. Partial adrenalectomy is difficult to accept due to its technical difficulties as well as hemorrhagic risk and a consensus has not been reached. On the other hand, in selected cases of benign adrenal tumors, adrenalectomy may be futile, partial resections being perfectly justified and with lower hemorrhagic risks. For functioning tumors smaller than 3 cm with an anterior or lateral location, partial adrenalectomy may be indicated. The key points reside in adenoma identification, preservation of the remaining glandular parenchyma and its blood supply with dissection in the space between the adenoma and the normal parenchyma. Laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy is feasible and effective for the treatment of benign tumors. Although partial resections have clear-cut advantages over conventional adrenalectomy especially for bilateral tumors, it remains a difficult intervention.

Abstract
We present a case report of a young nulliparous woman that presented with progressive ascites, night sweats and weight loss. Clinical and para-clinical findings were not suggestive of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) or other peritoneal conditions. A laparoscopy revealed important ascites and granulomatous peritoneal infiltration with normal genital anatomy. Tests for tuberculosis revealed primary peritoneal involvement in absence of pulmonary TB. This was a case of TB with primary and limited localization in the peritoneum. A strength of this report is that it has adequate illustration of the macroscopic and microscopic findings. In this brief report, we argue that the peritoneal localization of TB has been forgotten, but in countries with a high incidence of this condition, it should always be taken into consideration by doctors from all specialities when making differential diagnosis.

Abstract
Introduction Retrosternal goitre enlargement can cause compression of several mediastinal structures, especially the trachea and the superior vena cava. Retrosternal goitre as a cause of superior vena cava syndrome is a rare occurrence. We report the case of a middle aged man that underwent surgery for retrosternal goitre with compression of both innominate veins presenting as superior vena cava syndrome. Case Presentation A 50 year old man presented with a 2 year history of cyanosis of the upper limbs, head and neck, marked facial edema, plethora, dyspnea on exertion and choking sensation. Pemberton's sign was present. Computer tomography diagnosed retrosternal goitre at the level of the aortic arch, tracheal compression and important collateral circulation. Endocrine evaluation showed normal thyroid function (fT4 15.8 pmol/L) with low-normal TSH (0.5mU/L), normal calcitonin (<2 pg/mL). The patient underwent successful total thyroidectomy with cervical approach and his symptoms dramatically improved. The facial oedema persisted for the next 3 weeks. Discussion Less than 3% of superior vena cava syndromes are secondary to a variety of benign causes. Superior vena cava syndrome caused by slow growing retrosternal goitres is very rare and can be asymptomatic for a long period due to venous collateral development. Conclusion Superior vena cava syndrome secondary to retrosternal goitres, a very rare occurrence, is an indication for total thyroidectomy, with low postoperative morbidity and dramatic resolution of symptoms.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Small bowel obstruction represents up to 16% of surgical emergencies. Mortality and morbidity depend on early recognition, correct diagnosis and timely surgical management. The most frequent causes of small bowel obstruction are adhesions, malignant tumors, hernias and volvulus. Although laparoscopic surgery is not promoted for the management of small bowel obstruction, it may address many of the mentioned causes. In the same time, it represents a useful diagnostic tool that does not affect the integrity of the abdominal wall. MATERIALS AND METHODS The current study resumes the experience of a medium volume primary center. Between March 2010 and October 2015, 38 patients were diagnosed with small bowel obstruction and suffered laparoscopic interventions. In 7 cases conversion to open surgery was necessary. RESULTS Mortality was 0% and specific morbidity was 12%. The mean operating time was 87.2 minutes with wide variations depending on etiology and the mean postoperative hospital stay was 4.7 days. CONCLUSION The laparoscopic approach of small bowel disease is feasible and safe in selected cases and offers evident benefits regarding to the integrity of the abdominal wall, rapid return of bowel function and shorter hospital stay.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is probably one of the most frequent surgical procedure performed worldwide. Intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) is required more often than in open procedures due to the need to clarify the anatomy or to diagnose common bile duct (CBD) stones. AIM The present study analyzes the value of IOC performed on selective basis following preoperative and intraoperative criteria. Our experience covers 15 years of surgical activity in Elias Surgery Department and, as a result of a continuous scientific concern on the matter, we developed a set of criteria that are analyzed and discussed. MATERIAL AND METHOD We studied the patients subjected to LC in our department between January 2013 and December 2014. A group of 945 patients was analyzed; IOC was performed in 147 cases. All IOC were selective procedures. The criteria were divided in two groups: Preoperative criteria (clinical, lab tests and imaging findings); Intraoperative criteria (dilated biliary ducts and obscure biliary anatomy). RESULTS IOC was performed in 147 cases. We had a positive result, a finding that changed surgical management of the patient after IOC in over 50% of cases. The biliary tree anatomy was cleared in 100% of cases. IOC required a median period of time of 11 minutes. There were no complications caused by IOC. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative cholangiography, performed either routinely or selectively, represents an important tool in diagnosing unsuspected CBD stones during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Criteria for selective IOC may significantly reduce the number of useless cholangiograms and are to be considered in daily practice. The main predictive factors used for selective intraoperative cholangiography in our study were: history of jaundice, elevated values of ALP, GGTP, SGO, SGP, and CBD diameter.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, previously classified as leiomyomas, leiomyosarcomas, leiomyoblastomas or schwannomas. They are now recognized as a distinct entity with origin in the mesodermal interstitial cell of Cajal, cells that express the c-KIT protein (tirozine kinase receptor). The definitive diagnosis is established by immunohistochemistry, more than 95% of GISTs being positive for CD117. Despite the major progress of chemotherapy, the treatment of choice is surgery, and it implies the complete resection of the tumor. The evolution of these tumors is unpredictable and the prognosis depends on localization, tumor size and mitotic index. Benign tumors have an excellent prognosis after surgery, with a 5 year survival of 90%, while malignant tumors resistant to radiotherapy and chemotherapy have a dismal prognosis even after surgical resection, with a median survival of 1 year. We studied a group of 15 patients diagnosed with TSGI in the Surgery Clinic of the Prof. Dr. Agrippa Ionescu Clinical Emergency Hospital, between 2003 and 2013, following the particularities of presentation, diagnosis and treatment, with focus on the prognostic factors according to available literature data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Achalasia, although a rare disease (an incidence of 1 100 000 individuals each year) is one of the common causes of motor dysphagia and is characterized by loss of peristalsis in the esophageal body and lack of relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter. AIM The aim of our study was to perform a clinical,therapeutic and evolution evaluation in patients diagnosed with achalasia and operated in our department between 1997 and 2013. MATERIAL AND METHODS We performed a retrospective study using the clinical charts, operatory protocols, imagistic and video database of the 17 patients with achalasia operated in our department. RESULTS We encountered an equal repartition in women and men and a predominance of urban provenience. Ages were between 24 and 86 years (with an average age of 51). There were two cases of recurrent achalasia at 2, respectively 5 years after the first operation. In all cases, Heller myotomy was used, with the addition of a Dor fundoplication in 12 cases and Toupet fundoplication in five cases, as an antireflux procedure. Mean operation time was 117.6 minutes.There were three iatrogenic perforations of the esophageal mucosa, all of them recognized and treated in the same operative time. No postoperative complications related to the Heller-Dor Heller-Toupet procedure were encountered.The follow-up was between 3 and 72 months. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic approach in the treatment of achalasia provides the advantages of minimally invasive surgery, but also and very important, a good visualization of the abdominal esophagus and gastroesophageal junction.Heller esocardiomyotomy is usually associated with anantireflux procedure. A Dor fundoplication is generally used,although the Toupet fundoplication may also be used with the same advantages. It is important to monitor these patients on a yearly basis, knowing the risk of dysplasia carcinoma in achalasia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The reported incidence rate of occult thyroid carcinoma in patients operated for benign thyroid pathology has been much higher than expected in the last years,especially for multinodular goitre, which raises the question about which should the proper surgical management for these cases be. AIM To assess the incidence rate of OTC in a single medium volume surgical center and to establish the correct indication for initial surgical management, as well as to identify the benign thyroid pathology most frequently associated with OTC. We also reviewed the relevant scientific literature on this topic. MATERIAL AND METHOD We conducted a retrospective study in the General Surgery Clinic of "Prof. dr. Agrippa Ionescu" Clinical Emergency Hospital, Bucharest, on a series of 145 patients who underwent surgical interventions for preoperatively diagnosed benign thyroid pathology over a ten year period, between 1st January 2002 - 31st December 2012. All cases of known thyroid cancer were excluded. RESULTS Incidence rate of occult thyroid carcinoma in our series was 6.9 % (10 out of 145 patients), 80 % of them being diagnosed with multinodular goitre and two cases (20 %) with Hashimoto's lymphocytic thyroiditis. 6.8 % of all patients with multinodular goitre were found to present occult carcinoma,but this association was without statistical significance(p 0.05). Incidence rate of occult cancer among patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis was proved to be as high as 28.6%,statistically significant (p=0.020). The mean size of postoperatively diagnosed occult microcarcinoma was 7 mm, ranging between 3 mm and 14 mm, 90% of them being smaller than 1cm. Histologically, papillary microcarcinoma was found in all cases. The mean age of the patients diagnosed with occult microcarcinoma was 47.8 years with majority of the female gender. The most frequent operation performed was total thyroidectomy (70.8%). Overall morbidity in our series was 6.9% with a 0.7 % mortality rate (1 case). CONCLUSIONS In our opinion, primary total thyroidectomy should be performed as the procedure of choice for the most part of preoperatively diagnosed benign thyroid pathology and particularly for multinodular goitre and Hashimoto thyroiditis,in order to radically resect all possible foci of aggressive thyroid microcarcinomas.Abbreviations and Acronyms: OTC (Occult Thyroid Carcinoma), PTMC (Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma); TT(Total Thyroidectomy), MNG (Multinodular Goitre), GD(Graves' disease), TNG (Toxic Nodular Goitre), FNAB(fine-needle aspiration biopsy).
