The most common mechanism of trauma was motor vehicle collision (69.2%). No patient showed direct CT evidence of MA (0%); all exhibited only nonspecific findings such as free fluid, solid-organ injury, or mesenteric hematoma (100%). Intraoperative involvement included jejunal (30.8%), ileal (38.5%), colonic (15.4%), and multisegmental (15.4%) regions. Segmental resection with primary anastomosis was performed in 69.2% of patients, stoma formation in 15.4%, and damage-control surgery (diagnostic laparotomy + packing) in 15.4%. The mean ICU stay was 3.1 days, and total hospital stay was 11.2 days. Postoperative complications occurred in 30.7% and resolved with conservative treatment.

Maintaining a low threshold for early surgical exploration in the presence of hemodynamic instability, peritonitis, or a high index of clinical suspicion is essential to preserve bowel viability and reduce morbidity and mortality. Our study demonstrates that jejunal-ileal predominance, frequent use of resection with primary anastomosis, and the impact of associated multiple injuries are the major determinants of outcomes. Sustaining clinical vigilance and prompt surgical decision-making remain key to improving patient survival. Our findings emphasize that mesenteric avulsion remains largely a clinical and intraoperative diagnosis, and early surgical exploration should not be delayed based on negative or nonspecific CT findings.</p>","PeriodicalId":23391,"journal":{"name":"Updates in Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147618986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surgical approaches vary based on disease stage, ranging from cholecystectomy to extended liver resection and lymphadenectomy, with or without biliary resection. This study presents our experience of robotic surgery for GBC with and without biliary resection/reconstruction.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A retrospective analysis was conducted on 38 patients who underwent robotic resection for GBC between February 2016 and November 2024. Beyond the standard partial segment 4B/5 resection and portal lymphadenectomy, the cohort was divided into two groups: common bile duct (CBD) resection and non-CBD resection group. Data are presented as median (mean ± SD).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The median age was 68 years (68 ± 11.49), with 71% women. Nineteen patients (50%) were diagnosed incidentally and required subsequent liver resection. Bile duct resection and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy were performed in 9 patients (23.7%), due to positive cystic duct margins. No conversions to open surgery occurred. Operative time was longer in the CBD resection group (470 vs. 219 min), which also had higher rates of vascular resection (33% vs. 3%), lymphovascular invasion (67% vs. 28%), and node-positive disease (67% vs. 24%), though the latter was not statistically significant. No differences were found in lymph node retrieval [6 (6.21 ± 4.58)], R0 resection rates (95%) or postoperative morbidity.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The higher rates of lymphovascular invasion, vascular resections, and node-positive disease in the CBD resection group likely reflect more advanced disease.
