Colon cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic left hemicolectomy were categorized into two groups, C-shaped group and Medial-to-lateral group.

A correct localization of the hypersecretory gland by neck ultrasound and 99mTc-sestamibi (MIBI) scintigraphy are not sufficiently sensitive in some cases. In recent years, CT-4D, 18F-Fluorocholine PET/CT, and radio-guided parathyroidectomy have come into common use. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of 18F-Fluorocholine PET/CT after prior negative or discordant first-line imaging in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism undergoing parathyroid surgery. Monocentric observational study on patients affected by pHPT undergoing surgery from July 2009 to April 2024 at the Division of General Surgery, Cattinara Teaching Hospital of Trieste. Preoperative, intra-operative, and follow-up data were collected. The imaging methods used were neck ultrasound, 99mTc-sestamibi (MIBI) scintigraphy, and 18F-Fluorocholine PET/CT (since 2018). 172 patients were included. As first radiologic examination, neck ultrasound (US) was performed in 140 cases and 99mTc-sestamibi (MIBI) scintigraphy in 162. Ultrasound and/or scintigraphy imaging were sufficient for the identification of the gland in 127 patients (73.8%), while in 45 patients (26.2%), the localization was defined with other techniques. Particularly, three patients with negative or discordant first-line imaging underwent neck 4D-CT scan who was useful for parathyroid localization all cases (100%). Only one patient received a neck magnetic resonance (MRI) and resulted positive for preoperative localization. Starting in 2018, 29 out of 45 patients underwent 18F-FCH PET/CT yielding a positive result in 29 patients (100%). In other 16 cases (before the introduction of PET/CT in our preoperative imaging study), the preoperative localization was inconclusive and bilateral neck exploration (BNE) was necessary. The sample was homogeneous in terms of age, anthropometric characteristics, and preoperative biochemical parameters. Male/female ratio was 1:5.1. In the intra-operative site, in the cases of exclusive PET/CT positivity, in 28 cases (96.5%), a diagnostic agreement was confirmed, and the gland was macroscopically smaller or normal in size. The combination of ultrasound and MIBI scintigraphy remains the preferred imaging approach for preoperative studies of pHPT. If secondary imaging is required, 18F -FCH PET/CT stands out as the most advantageous option due to its ability to provide anatomical and functional specificity. FCH PET/CT resulted an effective imaging modality with the highest sensitivity of the available imaging techniques for localizing the hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland. Therefore, this method can be recommended in patients showing negative or inconclusive results in the conventional diagnostic imaging.</p>","PeriodicalId":23391,"journal":{"name":"Updates in Surgery","volume":" ","pages":"389-399"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11961514/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143012141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The traditional approach to develop these models involves the use of regression analysis. Machine learning algorithms are gaining in popularity as an alternative approach for prediction and classification problems. They can detect non-linear relationships between independent and dependent variables and incorporate many of them. In our work, we aimed to investigate the potential role of machine learning versus classical logistic regression for the preoperative risk assessment in proctological surgery. We used clinical data from a nationwide audit: the database consisted of 1510 patients affected by Goligher's grade III hemorrhoidal disease who underwent elective surgery. We collected anthropometric, clinical, and surgical data and we considered ten predictors to evaluate model-predictive performance. The clinical outcome was the complication rate evaluated at 30-day follow-up. Logistic regression and three machine learning techniques (Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine, Extreme Gradient Boosting) were compared in terms of area under the curve, balanced accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. In our setting, machine learning and logistic regression models reached an equivalent predictive performance. Regarding the relative importance of the input features, all models agreed in identifying the most important factor. Combining and comparing statistical analysis and machine learning approaches in clinical field should be a common ambition, focused on improving and expanding interdisciplinary cooperation.</p>","PeriodicalId":23391,"journal":{"name":"Updates in Surgery","volume":" ","pages":"333-341"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11961508/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143042394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This investigation seeks to amplify the findings of a similar nationwide survey performed in 2014 by offering an updated assessment of IONM practices among Italian surgical institutions, reflecting a decade of advancements and transformations in clinical approaches. A comprehensive nationwide survey was implemented targeting Italian endocrine surgeons to assess the prevalence, utilization patterns, attitudes and perceptions surrounding IONM in the context of thyroid and parathyroid surgical procedures. Structured questionnaires were administered to seventy endocrine surgery centers, and the resulting data were evaluated employing both quantitative and qualitative analysis methods. The survey disclosed that 67.14% of the participants confirmed the routine deployment of IONM across all cervical surgical procedures, particularly in high-risk contexts. Relative to the findings from 2014, a marked rise in the implementation of IONM has been recorded; however, variability persists, especially between continuous and intermittent monitoring strategies. Surgeons recognized improved surgical safety, decreased complication frequencies, and educational advantages as significant key drivers for the incorporation of IONM. Nonetheless, issues, such as false-positive and false-negative results, along with the lack of standardized protocols, remain barriers to its uniform application. During the past ten years, IONM has been thoroughly adopted by Italian endocrine surgeons as a result of its critical contribution to the improvement of surgical outcomes and the provision of educational resources. However, the results highlight the imperative for further standardization of protocols, the advancement of training programs, and the resolution of reimbursement obstacles to ensure equitable and consistent application of IONM across Italian centers, ultimately optimizing patient care.</p>","PeriodicalId":23391,"journal":{"name":"Updates in Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143765153","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}
