Bile Leaks After Biliary Surgery
Bile LeakAnastomotic Leak Biliary1 moreThe objective of our study is to identify the factors influencing the occurrence of a biliary leak after performing surgery leading to the creation of a biliary anastomosis to any segment of the digestive tract.
Incidence of Acute Urine Retention: Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Early, Mid or Late Urinary...
Rectal CancerRetention4 moreDESIGN: Randomized, open-label and parallel clinical trial, assigned to early, mid, or late withdrawal of urinary catheter with a 1: 1: 1 allocation ratio. POPULATION: Patients undergoing anterior rectal resection, low rectal resection, or abdominoperineal amputation for any reason. OBJECTIVES: The main objective is to compare the incidence of acute urine retention after removal of the urinary catheter in the postoperative period of rectal resection. Secondary objectives are: Incidence of urinary tract infection after urinary catheter removal. Incidence of specific postoperative complications (Surgical wound infection, Respiratory infection, Anastomotic dehiscence, ileus). Incidence of postoperative complications assessed according to the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) scale. DESCRIPTION OF THE INTERVENTION: In all patients, a Rectal Resection (anterior rectal resection, posterior pelvic exenteration or abdominoperineal amputation) will be performed. In group 1A, the urinary catheter will be removed on the 1st postoperative day. In group 1B patients, the urinary catheter will be removed on the 3rd postoperative day. In group 1C patients, the urinary catheter will be removed on the 5th postoperative day. All patients will have a urine culture taken at the time of withdrawal.
Human Albumin and Anastomotic Leakage After Gastric Cancer Surgery
Gastric CancerAnastomotic LeakWe investigate whether the intravenously administered human albumin is beneficial to prevent anastomotic leakage after gastric cancer surgery.
Predictors of Intestinal Anastomosis Leakage, Application of New Predictors and New Scores
Anastomotic LeakAim of the work This study aims at; Early detection of disruption and leakage of intestinal anastomotic sites whether small or large intestine by using biochemical markers as predictors and indicators of leakage with application of scoring scale to assess presence or absence of leakage.

The Diagnostic Dilemma of Anastomotic Leak in Esophagogastric Surgery
Anastomotic LeakTo study the diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of various modalities used for the assessment of anastomotic leak in esophagogastric surgery and to identify the most sensitive technique. Secondarily, to propose a clinical algorithm to guide clinicians in the diagnosis of anastomotic leaks esophagogastric surgeries.
Microbiota Implementation to Reduce Anastomotic Colorectal Leaks (MIRACLe)

Drainage Fluid Biomarkers and Anastomotic Leakage in Colorectal Surgery. A Monocentric Prospective...
Anastomotic LeakageAnastomotic leakage (AL) is one of the most feared intra-abdominal septic complications (IASC) after colorectal surgery. It is defined as the leak of intestinal content due to an anastomotic dehiscence. Incidence ranges from 2% to 20%. AL is usually associated to systemic inflammatory response, even if in some cases the presentation may be subclinical. Therefore, AL is suspected in patients with a strong inflammatory response and can be confirmed by imaging with contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan or water-soluble contrast studies. Nevertheless, imaging has varying sensitivity and specificity and is usually performed once the patient has a clinical evidence, thus potentially delaying the correct timing for surgery. Despite several studies about this topic and the plenty of known risk factors as mentioned above, AL is still not easy to predict. Different tools other than imaging have been studied in order to make diagnosis of AL at an early stage, as the measurement of some biomarkers of inflammation in serum and in drainage fluid. Biomarkers as white cell blood count (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), cytokines (e.g. TNFa, IL-6, IL-1b), markers of ischemia (e.g. lactate) and procalcitonin (PCT) have been used for an early detection of AL and other intra-abdominal septic complications. The primary aim of our study was to assess the role of drainage fluid CRP and lactate-dehydrogenase (LDH) in the early detection of anastomotic leakage.
