Abstract
INTRODUCTION Synchronous robotic colorectal and liver resection for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is gaining popularity. This case series describes our initial institutional experience. METHODS A retrospective study of synchronous robotic colorectal and liver resections for metastatic colorectal cancer (March 2020 to December 2021). RESULTS Eight patients underwent synchronous robotic resections. The median age was 59 (45-72), and the median body mass index was 29 (20-33). Seven received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and five rectal cancers received neoadjuvant radiotherapy. One patient had a low anterior resection with major hepatectomy, two had low anterior resection with minor hepatectomy, and one had abdominoperineal resection with major hepatectomy. One patient had a left colectomy with minor hepatectomy, and two had right colectomies with minor hepatectomy. We used five robotic 8/12 mm ports in all cases. Extraction incisions were Pfannenstiel in four patients, colostomy site in two patients, one perineal incision, and one supra-umbilical incision. The median estimated blood loss was 200 mL (25-500), and the median operative time was 448 min (374-576). There were no intra-operative complications or conversions. Five patients had the liver resection first, and two of six anastomoses were performed before the liver resection. The Median length of stay was 4 days (3-14). There were two post-operative complications, prolonged ileus and DVT, with a Clavien-Dindo complication grade of I and II, respectively. There were no readmissions or reoperations. All colorectal and liver resection margins were negative. CONCLUSIONS Synchronous robotic colorectal and liver resection can be performed effectively utilizing one port configuration with acceptable short-term outcomes and quality of oncologic resection.

Abstract
Background: As the population ages emergency surgeries among the elderly population, including colonic resections, is also increasing. Data regarding the short- and long-term outcomes in this population is scarce. Methods: A retrospective study was performed to investigate mortality and mortality risk factors associated with emergent colectomies in older compared to younger patients in a single university affiliated tertiary hospital. Patients with metastatic disease, colectomy due to trauma or index colectomy within 30 days prior to emergent surgery were excluded. Results: Operative outcomes compared among age groups, included 30-day mortality, mortality risk-factors and long-term survival. 613 eligible patients were included in the cohort. Mean age was 69.4 years, 45.1% were female. Patients were divided into four age groups: 18–59, 60–69, 70–79 and ≥80-years. Thirty-day mortality rates were 3.2%, 11%, 29.3% and 37.8%, respectively and 22% for the entire cohort. Risk-factors for perioperative death in the younger group were related to severity of ASA score and WBC count. In groups 60–69, 70–79, main risk-factors were ADL dependency and ASA score. In the ≥80 group, risk-factors affecting perioperative mortality, included ASA score, pre-operative albumin, creatinine, WBC levels, cancer etiology, ADL dependency, and dementia. Long-term survival differed significantly between age groups. Conclusion: Perioperative mortality with emergency colectomy increases with patients’ age. Patients older than eighty-years undergoing urgent colectomies have extremely high mortality rates, leading to a huge burden on medical services. Evaluating risk-factors for mortality and pre-operative discussion with patients and families is important. Screening the elderly population for colonic pathologies can result in early diagnosis potentially leading to elective surgeries with decreased mortality.

Abstract
AIM Perianal Paget's disease (PAPD) is a rare disorder with a predisposition to anal and colorectal malignancies and an unclear prognosis. Our previous 25-year series demonstrated a non-aggressive nature. This study aims to describe our updated institutional experience. METHODS This is a retrospective review of all patients diagnosed with primary PAPD from 1991 to 2021. A prospectively maintained institutional database was searched which included demographics, clinical and pathological manifestations, treatment methods, recurrence, oncological outcome and mortality. RESULTS Thirty patients were diagnosed with PAPD. Fifteen were women (50%); the average age at diagnosis was 71 ± 10.7 years, and the average lesion size was 3.7 ± 2.6 cm. At diagnosis, 12 (40%) were harbouring invasive anal adenocarcinoma. Eight (27%) developed adenocarcinomas concurrent with PAPD recurrence at a mean interval of 9 ± 4.4 years (range 1.9-14.8). The Kaplan-Meier curve estimated overall survival of 93%, 86%, 82%, 65% and 56% at 1, 3, 5, 10 and 15 years, respectively. Median survival was 16 years. Six (20%) had disease-related mortality. Initially, nine (30%) were treated with abdominoperineal resection (APR), 15 (50%) underwent local resection, three (10%) were treated with radiotherapy, two (7%) received only topical therapy and one (3%) chose observation. Fifteen (50%) experienced recurrence of PAPD, two after undergoing APR. Five (17%) had persistent disease until death. Only 10 (33%) did not experience PAPD recurrence, seven of whom underwent APR. The mean follow-up time was 9.2 ± 6.2 years. CONCLUSIONS Perianal Paget's disease is an aggressive entity with high rates of synchronous anal adenocarcinoma at diagnosis and development of metachronous adenocarcinoma later in life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal transplant patients presenting with diverticulitis remain a clinical challenge for health care professionals. Secondary to immunosuppression, renal transplant recipients are often considered for early operative intervention due to concerns for an unreliable physical exam and feared morbidity and mortality associated with non-operative management. METHODS This study aimed to evaluate trends in management of renal transplant patients with diverticulitis at a quaternary referral center. RESULTS One hundred ninety-one renal transplant patients admitted to the hospital with diverticulitis were identified. Of this cohort, 71 (37%) underwent surgical resection, of which 20 (28%) were performed emergently. The overall 30-day operative mortality was 8% (6/71), of which there was a significant difference between emergent (25%, 5/20) and elective (2%, 1/51) groups (P = .006). Patients who underwent elective surgery were more likely to receive a minimally invasive approach (51%) and were significantly more likely to undergo stoma reversal (P = .006). DISCUSSION Our study shows that not all renal transplants with diverticulitis will require operative intervention and many can be safely treated non-operatively. Elective resection and surgical management should be considered on an individual basis. Patients treated with elective resection were more likely to undergo a minimally invasive approach and restoration of intestinal continuity.

Abstract
Purpose: Rectal polyps with low-grade dysplasia (LGD) can be removed by local excision surgery (LE). It is unclear whether these lesions pose a higher risk for recurrence and cancer development and might warrant an early repeat rectal endoscopy. This study aims to assess the rectal cancer rate following local excision of LGD rectal lesions. Methods: A retrospective multicenter study including all patients that underwent LE for rectal polyps over a period of 11 years was conducted. Demographic, clinical, and surgical data of patients with LGD werecollected and analyzed. Results: Out of 274 patients that underwent LE of rectal lesions, 81 (30%) had a pathology of LGD. The mean patient age was 65 ± 11 years, and 52 (64%) were male. The mean distance from the anal verge was 7.2 ± 4.3 cm, and the average lesion was 3.2 ± 1.8 cm. Full thickness resection was achieved in 68 patients (84%), and four (5%) had involved margins for LGD. Nine patients (11%) had local recurrence and developed rectal cancer in an average time interval of 19.3 ± 14.5 months, with seven of them (78%) diagnosed less than two years after the initial LE. Seven of the nine patients were treated with another local excision, whilst one had a low anterior resection, and one was treated with radiation. The mean follow-up time was 25.3 ± 22.4 months. Conclusions: Locally resected rectal polyps with LGD may carry a significant risk of recurring and developing cancer within two years. This data suggests patients should have a closer surveillance protocol in place.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Achieving laparoscopic competency is challenging. Common laparoscopic simulators usually fall short in achieving true simulation. OBJECTIVES To present a live porcine model laparoscopic skills laboratory for training general surgery residents. METHODS An in vivo porcine laparoscopic model course was developed to simulate seven different laparoscopic procedures and seven laparoscopic skills for trainees under the tutelage of laparoscopic specialists. RESULTS A total of 98 surgical trainees from 19 training programs underwent a full-day course from September 2017 to July 2020. Each program consisted of four trainees and two faculty members. In total, 175 laparoscopic procedures were performed. Trainees reported that the course improved their ability to perform in the operating room. CONCLUSIONS Using a laparoscopic porcine model in a guided didactic course performing complete common laparoscopic procedures in simulated operating room surroundings was beneficial for surgical trainees. The porcine model mimics human abdominal anatomy and allows trainees to increase their comfort level in performing such procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Following an intestinal anastomotic leak, stoma creation may be the safest approach. However, this method may be challenging and cause significant morbidity. In selected cases, a T drain approach can be beneficial and a stoma can be avoided. OBJECTIVES To present one group's experience with a T drain approach for anastomotic leaks. METHODS Data on patients who underwent emergent re-laparotomy following gastrointestinal anastomotic leaks were retrieved retrospectively and assessed with a new intra-operative leak severity score. RESULTS Of 1684 gastrointestinal surgeries performed from 2014 to 2018, 41 (2.4%) cases of anastomotic leaks were taken for re-laparotomy. Cases included different sites and etiologies. Twelve patients were treated with a T-tube drain inserted through the leak site, 18 had a stoma taken out, 6 re-anastomosis, 4 were treated with an Endosponge, and one primary repair with a proximal ileostomy was conducted. T drain approach was successful in 11 of 12 patients (92%) with full recovery. One patient did not improve and underwent reoperation with resection and re-anastomosis. A severity score of anastomotic integrity is provided to help surgeons in decision making. CONCLUSIONS A T drain approach can be an optimal solution in selected cases following an intestinal anastomotic leak. When the leak is limited, the remaining anastomosis is intact and the abdominal environment allows it, a T drain can be used and a stoma can be avoided.

Abstract
AIM Hartmann's procedure is the surgical treatment of choice for perforated acute diverticulitis. Hartmann's reversal (HR) that is performed at a later stage may be challenging. The optimal timing for HR is still a subject for controversy. The aim of this study is to assess whether the timing of HR affects surgical outcome. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective-cohort multi-center study was conducted, including all patients who underwent HR for acute diverticulitis from January 2004 to June 2015 in 5 medical centers. Patient data included demographics, surgical data and post-operative outcome. RESULTS One hundred and twenty-two patients were included in the database. Median time from Hartmann's procedure to reversal was 182.7 days, with the majority of patients (76 patients, 62.2%) operated 60 to 180 days from the Hartmann's procedure. Fifty-seven patients (46.7%) had post-operative complications, most commonly wound infections (27 patients, 22.1%). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and a propensity score match analysis (P=0.43) correlating between days to HR from the index procedure showed no specific cut-off point regarding post-operative complications (P=0.16), Major (Clavien-Dindo score of 3 or more) complications (P=0.19), Minor (Clavien Dindo 1-2) and no complications (P=0.14). Median length of stay was 10.9 days (range 3-90) and Pearson correlation failed to demonstrate a correlation between timing of surgical intervention and length of stay (P=0.4). CONCLUSION Hartmann's Reversal is a complex surgical procedure associated with high rates of complications. In our series, timing of surgery did not affect surgical complications rate or severity or the length of hospital stay.

Abstract
PURPOSE Colonoscopy is an endoscopic examination of the bowel. It requires insufflation of the large bowel lumen with gas which leads to intraabdominal hypertension (IAH). There is evidence suggesting that IAH positively correlates with intracranial pressure (ICP) and possibly with intraocular pressure (IOP). The aim of this study was to examine the effect of routine screening colonoscopy performed under sedation on the IOP in healthy individuals. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a prospective, single site, observational study. Healthy adults undergoing routine colonoscopy performed under sedation including propofol, fentanyl, and midazolam were recruited. Right eye IOP measurements were performed using Tonopen XL® in a left decubitus position at 5 time points during the procedure. Statistical analysis was performed using Student's t-test for paired samples. RESULTS Twenty-three Caucasians were recruited. There are 14 males (60%) with a mean age of 60.4 ± 10.4 years (range 36-74). Colonoscopy was conducted under sedation and completed in 22 subjects. Mean baseline IOP was 19.9 ± 4.7 mmHg, 15.8 ± 4.8 mmHg immediately after sedation, 13.5 ± 2.3 mmHg when the colonoscope had reached the cecum, 15.4 ± 5.0 mmHg 5 min after colonoscopy beginning, and 16.5 ± 5.5 mmHg when located in the rectum. The IOP reduction during the procedure was statistically significant (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Routine colonoscopy performed under sedation using propofol, fentanyl, and midazolam does not increase the IOP in healthy adults.

Abstract
Over the last decade the General Surgery Residency Program in Israel has changed tremendously. Residency settings have changed significantly - Residents time and exposure to the surgical ward and especially the time spent in the operating theater have dropped dramatically. This situation has evolved, while concurrently, their range of responsibilities expanded. The Israeli General Surgery Residents Association (ISRA) was founded in 2017 by residents as part of the Israeli Surgical Association in order to maintain and improve surgical training and allow equal access to all residents. The elected member of the ISRA serves as a delegate on the Israeli Surgical Association Board of Directors. The current review outlines the history of general surgery residency, describes surgical residency programs from around the world with special attention to measures to improve training amid medical workforce changes. In addition, The Israeli General Surgery Residents Association (ISRA) and its work will be presented as an example for residents taking an active and influential part in establishing new horizons in surgical training.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hartmann's reversal is a challenging surgical procedure with significant postoperative morbidity rates. Various surgical methods have been suggested to lower the risk of postoperative complications. In this study, we aimed to compare the postoperative results between open and laparoscopic techniques for Hartmann's reversal. METHODS A retrospective study of all patients who underwent Hartmann's reversal in five centers in central Israel between January 2004 and June 2015 was conducted. Medical charts were reviewed, analyzing preoperative and operative parameters and short-term postoperative outcomes. RESULTS 260 patients were included in the study. 76 patients were operated laparoscopically with a conversion rate of 26.3% (20 patients). No differences were found between patients operated laparoscopically and those operated in an open technique regarding gender (p = 0.785), age (61.34 vs. 62.64, p = 0.521), body mass index (26.6 vs. 26.2, p = 0.948), Charlson index score (1.79 vs. 1.95, p = 0.667), and cause for Hartmann's procedure (neoplastic vs. non-neoplastic, p = 0.644). No differences were seen in average time from the Hartmann's procedure to reversal (204.89 vs. 213.60 days, p = 0.688) and in overall complication rate (46.4 vs. 46.5%, p = 1). The Clavien-Dindo score for distinguishing between minor (0-2 score, p = 1) and major complications (3-5 score, p = 0.675) failed to demonstrate an advantage to laparoscopy, as well as to average length of stay (10.91 days in the laparoscopic group vs. 11.72 days in the open group, p = 0.529). An analysis based on the intention-to-treat with laparoscopy, including converted cases in the laparoscopic group, showed similar results, including overall complication rate (48.6 vs. 45.6%, p = 0.68) and Clavien-Dindo score in both minor (p = 0.24) and major complications (p = 0.44). Length of stay (10.92 vs. 11.81 days, p = 0.45) was also similar between the two groups. CONCLUSION In this series, a laparoscopic approach to Hartmann's reversal did not offer any short-term advantage when compared to an open surgical approach.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hartmann's procedure is commonly practiced in emergent cases with the restoration of bowel continuity planned at a second stage. This study assessed the rate of restorations following Hartmann's procedure and evaluated factors affecting decision-making. METHODS Data on patient demographics, comorbidities, causes for Hartmann's procedure, reversal rate, and complications were collected in a multicenter retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent Hartmann's procedure in five medical centers. RESULTS Six hundred forty patients underwent Hartmann's procedure for diverticular disease (36.1%), obstructing malignancy (31.8%), benign obstruction (5%), and other reasons (23.1%). Overall, 260 (40.6%) patients underwent subsequent restoration of bowel continuity. One hundred twenty-one (46.5%) patients had post-reversal complications, with an average Clavien-Dindo score of 1.4 and a mortality rate of 0.77%. Decision to avoid reversal was mostly related to comorbidities (49.7%) and metastatic disease (21.6%). Factors associated with the decision to restore bowel continuity included male gender (P = 0.02), patient age (62.3 years in Hartmann's reversal patients vs 73.5 years in non-reversal patients; P < 0.0001), number of comorbidities (1.1 vs 1.58; P < 0.001), average Charlson score (1.93 vs 3.44; P < 0.001), and a neoplastic etiology (P < 0.0001). A sub-analysis excluding all patients who died in the 30 days following Hartmann's procedure showed similar factors associated with ostomy closure. CONCLUSION Many patients do not have restoration of bowel continuity after undergoing Hartmann's procedure. Hartmann's reversal is associated with a significant postoperative morbidity. Surgeons and patients should be aware of the possibility that the colostomy might become permanent.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Postoperative small bowel obstruction due to intussusception is a rare entity but can lead to severe morbidity and even mortality. We present a case of this rare complication produced by an unusual cause. CASE REPORT A 22year old male, who is a fruitarian, presented to the E.R on day 6 after laparotomy due to obstructing fetobezors that were removed via gastrotomy and enterotomy. In his readmission, he had severe, diffuse abdominal pain, distended abdomen and diffuse peritonitis. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed a large amount of fluid in the abdomen, distended small bowel loops, a small amount of free air around the stomach and a suspected ileo-ileal intussusception. The patient underwent emergent laparotomy which revealed an ileo-ileal intussusception with the sutured enterotomy site from the previous operation as the lead point. In addition, a minor dehiscence of the gastrotomy site was identified. A reduction of the intussusception was performed with resection of the enterotomy site and side to side anastomosis. The gastrotomy site was debrided and re-sutured. Recovery was uneventful. CONCLUSION Postoperative intussusception, although rare, is potentially a dangerous complication, often not involving the site of the primary operation. To our knowledge this is the first report of an intussusception with a sutured enterotomy site as the lead point. Clinicians should be aware of this entity when assessing a patient with abdominal pain and distention after surgery with enterotomy or resection of bowel.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous factors have been associated with the number of lymph nodes retrieved during laparoscopic colectomy. This study compared the impact of vascular pedicle ligation method on the number of retrieved lymph nodes in patients undergoing laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for cancer. Mesenteric root dissection with individualized vessel ligation was compared to en bloc vascular root stapling. METHODS Data were retrospectively collected from a database of patients' charts including operative and pathological reports. All patients that underwent laparoscopic colectomy in a single department were identified. Patients that underwent elective laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for cancer were further evaluated. The impact of the method used for ileo-colic vascular transection, age, gender, nodes status, T stage, BMI and the operating surgeon on the number of retrieved lymph nodes was studied. RESULTS Among 239 laparoscopic colectomies, 75 patients underwent elective laparoscopic right colectomy for cancer. Ileo-colic vascular transection was routinely performed at the level of the inferior border of the pancreas. In total, 34 patients underwent ileo-colic vascular root dissection with individualized vessel ligation and 41 underwent vascular root stapling. No difference was found in the mean number of retrieved lymph nodes between pedicle dissection and vascular root stapling (18.7 ± 5.9 vs. 19.6 ± 7.9, P = 0.396), and in the rate of patients who had 12 nodes or more (97.1 vs. 92.7 %, P = 0.401). BMI above 30 was associated with decreased number of retrieved nodes (P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS No difference was found in the number of retrieved lymph nodes between ileo-colic vascular root dissection with individual vessel ligation and vascular root stapling in patients undergoing laparoscopic right hemicolectomy for cancer. High BMI was associated with decreased number of retrieved nodes in both groups. A standard approach regarding the level of mesenteric root transection, regardless of the ligation approach, leads to adequate lymph node harvesting by different surgeons.

Abstract
Epiphrenic diverticulum of the esophagus is an uncommon finding. Small diverticula are usually asymptomatic in nature. Large diverticula may present with dysphagia, chest or upper abdominal discomfort, vomiting, irritating cough or halitosis. There are a few different surgical approaches to epiphrenic diverticulum resection. It can be performed with an abdominal or a thoracic approach and in an open or a laparoscopic manner. In this case report we present a 70 years old male patient with a giant epiphrenic diverticulum and dysphagia. The patient was operated upon via a laparoscopic abdominal approach with intra-operative endoscopic assistance and underwent a diverticulum resection. We present a review of the different kinds of esophageal diverticula, the mechanism of their formation, and the surgical considerations associated with choosing the appropriate surgical approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS In the present study we sought to define the outcome of patients with delay in diagnosis and treatment (>1 year) of well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma (WDTC) due to initial benign cytology (IBC). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective medical record review and analysis of survival outcomes. METHODS The records of 47 patients with delayed diagnosis of thyroid cancer were reviewed. In 38, surgery was performed for growing nodules and in nine due to malignant cytology during follow-up. Median time to delayed surgery was 52 months (range, 13-205 months). Multivariate analysis was performed to assess variables associated with outcome. RESULTS Most patients (32/47) underwent total thyroidectomy, whereas 15/47 had hemithyroidectomy. With a median follow-up of 96 months (range, 12-184 months), the 5-year disease-free survival of these patients was 96%. Multivariate analysis showed that the outcome of these patients was not statistically different than that of patients (n = 162) who underwent immediate surgery for similar disease. CONCLUSIONS We show that patients with delayed diagnosis and treatment for WDTC due to IBC have excellent outcome. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 4.
