Abstract
Introduction The Kerecis™ Omega3 Wound matrix is a decellularized skin matrix derived from fish skin and represents an innovative concept to achieve wound healing. The aim of this study was to report the cumulative experience of three centers for vascular surgery regarding use of the Omega3 Wound matrix in selected patients with complicated wounds. Material and methods In this study 23 patients with 25 vascular and/or diabetes mellitus-associated complicated wounds and partially exposed bony segments were treated with the Omega3 Wound matrix in three vascular centers. In several patients, conventional wound treatment with vacuum therapy had previously been carried out sometimes over several weeks without durable success. Following initial debridement in the operating room, the matrix was applied and covered with a silicone mesh. In the further course, wound treatment was conducted on an outpatient setting if possible. Results In total 25 wounds were treated with localization at the level of the thigh (n = 2), the distal calf (n = 7), the forefoot (n = 14) and the hand (n = 2). The time to heal varied between 9 and 41 weeks and between 3 and 26 wound matrices were applied per wound. Interestingly, a reduction of analgesics intake was noted when the treatment with the Omega3 Wound matrix was initiated. Conclusion The novel Omega3 Wound matrix in this study represented an effective treatment option in 25 complicated wounds. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the impact of the wound matrix on stimulation of granulation tissue and re-epithelialization as well as the potential antinociceptive and analgetic effects.

Abstract
Background: There are not many publications on the long-term results of surgical treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) comparing open repair (OR) and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Method: Using a propensity score (PS), we matched cohorts which were eligible for both types of treatment and underwent an elective surgical procedure for infrarenal AAA between 2002 and 2008. The endpoint of the study was long-term survival without re-intervention. Results: From a total of 442 patients treated from 2002 to 2008, we identified 140 patients of whom 72 received a tube graft and 68 were treated by EVAR. Median observation time was 5 years (0.04-10.3). Mortality was zero in the EVAR group and 1 % in the OR group, with cumulative survival after 5 and 10 years being 82 (79 %) in the OR group and 80 (58 %) in the EVAR group. Three patients (4 %) out of 72 with open surgery and 23 patients (34 %) from the EVAR group had to undergo a repeat surgery. Conclusion: Both procedures are safe methods to eliminate aneurysms. However, the high rate of re-interventions or conversions in the EVAR group has to be considered in the selection of treatment.

Abstract
Background: In critical limb ischaemia (CLI), a pedal vein graft bypass offers good long-term results regarding function and limb salvage. However, some cases require bypasses to branches of pedal arteries based on angiographic findings. Methods: In a retrospective database we analysed all patients who received a vein graft bypass to branches of pedal arteries for treatment of critical limb ischaemia. Results: From January 1998 to June 2014 we performed bypasses to branches of pedal arteries in 72 patients (59 men and 13 women) out of a total of 534 patients who underwent pedal bypass surgery. The proximal bypass anastomosis was above the knee in 30 cases and below the knee in 42 patients. In 6 cases the bypass connection was made to the lateral tarsal artery, in 15 cases it was made to the lateral and in 24 cases to the medial plantar artery. In 27 patients a direct connection was made to the plantar bifurcation. All reconstructions were completely autologous. The limb salvage rate after 5 and 10 years was 82 %. Conclusion: A bypass to branches of pedal arteries is a procedure recommendable for limb salvage in cases of critical ischaemia where arteries with a larger diameter are no longer available.

Abstract
AIM Patients were analyzed who underwent treatment of liver metastases from pancreatic cancer. METHODS Selection criteria were the possibility of R0 resection of the primary and/or the liver metastases, no other sites of metastases, and the presentation of liver metastases. A comparison of treatment by surgery versus chemotherapy regarding overall survival and disease-free interval was performed. RESULTS Between 1996 and 2008, a total number of 23 patients were retrospectively identified from a prospective database of 193 cases of pancreatic cancer. In 14 cases, liver metastases were found simultaneously, and in 9 cases metachronously, fulfilling the abovementioned selection criteria. Of these, 13 patients underwent surgery and 10 were treated by gemcitabine. There were no differences in survival in patients with synchronous liver metastases of pancreatic cancer treated by resection of the primary combined with partial hepatectomy versus treatment by gemcitabine (8 vs. 11 months). In patients with metachronous liver metastases, the median survival was increased after liver resection compared to patients who were treated with gemcitabine (31 vs. 11 months). CONCLUSIONS Simultaneous resection of pancreatic cancer and liver metastases cannot be recommended. Resection of metachronous liver metastases of pancreatic cancer seems to improve survival in highly selected patients.

Abstract
Rectal melanoma is a rare disease. There is much controversy concerning cause, incidence and treatment of the disease and the spreading of recurrence. In this article, we discuss actual aspects of diagnostic, therapy and prognosis on the basis of our series of seven patients as well as a literature review. The surgical therapy in the form of local tumour excision with a disease-free margin of up to 1-2 cm is the initial therapeutic modality of choice. Large tumours that obviously could not be removed in sano should be treated with a multimodal concept. Such tumours should be treated by a combination of neoadjuvant radiation and chemotherapy for down-staging with subsequent local excision (LE) or abdomino-perineal rectum extirpation (APR). An inguinal lymphadenectomy should only be performed if the lymph nodes are enlarged on clinical or radiological examination. The prognosis of rectal melanoma is markedly poor and is primarily related with the stage of disease. The 5-year survival rate is estimated at about 24% for patients with stage I tumours. Patients with stage II and III tumours have appreciably shorter survival times of 12 months on the average.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Conventional adrenalectomy still plays an important role, even in the era of minimally invasive endocrine surgery. It was the aim of our study to analyse the indications for conventional adrenalectomy in our own patients since the introduction of the minimally invasive technique in the year 1994 - laparoscopically and retroperitoneoscopically. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 1994 and September 2006, a total of 412 adrenalectomies were performed in 380 patients. Out of these, 106 operations (25.7 %) were carried out conventionally in 98 patients, and 306 operations (74.3 %) endoscopically in 282 patients. RESULTS Indications for conventional adrenalectomy were - as compared with the minimally invasive procedure - significantly more frequent adrenocortical carcinomas (ACC), especially in the context of multivisceral resections, as well as adrenal metastases (synchronous and metachronous). In contrast, adrenal Cushing's disease (including 19 patients with bilateral tumours), pheochromocytoma, incidentaloma and Conn's syndrome constituted a more frequent indication for minimally invasive adrenalectomy. Conventionally operated adrenal pathologies with on average 6.0 (range: 1.2-19.0) cm diameter were significantly larger than the endoscopically removed tumours with on average 3.3 (range: 0.2-9.2) cm diameter (p < 0.0001). The side localisation and the frequency of bilateral adrenal tumours did not differ significantly in the two groups. CONCLUSION Since the establishment of the minimally invasive technique in 1994, conventional adrenalectomy has been selected for 26 % of all resected adrenal pathologies at our clinic and, therefore, still plays an important role even in the era of laparoscopic surgery. The benefit of the laparoscopic procedure in the case of malignant pheochromocytoma, adrenocortical carcinoma, and isolated adrenal metastases at a locally confined stage is still unclear and requires prospective, randomised studies.

Abstract
Recurrent liver metastases of colorectal carcinoma are frequent. The repeat hepatectomy is superior to other therapeutic options. In about 20% of patients with recurrent liver metastases a complete resection (R0) is possible. The morbidity of repeat hepatectomy is similar to that of first hepatectomy. The 5-year survival rate after repeat hepatectomy ranges between 30 and 40%. Often in the follow-up additional operations become necessary for extrahepatic recurrencies. For determination of the optimal therapy an interdisciplinary approach must be chosen.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate mitochondrial electron transfer during rat liver reperfusion after cold storage and hypothermic machine perfusion. Livers from male Brown Norway rats were preserved (UW) for 10h either by cold storage (CS) or by hypothermic oxygenated perfusion extracorporal (HOPE). Transhepatic photometric analysis allowed determination of the redox status of mitochondrial cytochromes during preservation, rewarming and reperfusion. Mitochondrial electron chain carriers were inhibited at different sites with rotenone and cyanide in some experiments. reversed transcriptional polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed after reperfusion concerning transcription of TNFalpha, caspase 9, and c-jun kinase (JNK). Increased superoxide anion formation as well as transcription of TNFalpha, caspase 9, and JNK during reperfusion after cold storage (CS) were related with completely reduced cytochromes before and during reperfusion. In contrast, hypothermic oxygenated livers (HOPE) showed oxygenated cytochromes as well as decreased superoxide anion formation and no detectable transcription of TNFalpha, caspase 9, and JNK. A similar low level of superoxide anion formation was found when electron chain transfer of cold stored livers was inhibited during reperfusion with rotenone but not with cyanide. After hypothermic oxygenation (HOPE) inhibition of mitochondrial electron chain with rotenone showed no change in formation of superoxide anion formation whereas inhibition with cyanide showed increased superoxide anion formation. Thus mitochondrial cytochrome redox status is suggested to be related: (i) with the release of reactive oxygen substances as well as (ii) with the expressions of TNFalpha, caspase 9, and JNK during reperfusion and may thus be usable as predictive marker of liver grafts.
