Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

The development and the employment of new technologies have given several and great contributions to improving the quality of care in the field of general and gastrointestinal surgery, either in a diagnostic or operative manner. As the metamorphosis from conventional to minimally invasive surgery has changed the methods of performing surgery, the knowledge of molecular genetics, neuroendocrine, and immune mechanisms of diseases has also modified the therapeutic strategies for treating cancers toward an ever more patient-tailored treatment. The ever-growing interest in advanced surgical technologies requires us to always keep up with novelties. The aim of this Special Issue is to collect original papers about innovations in gastrointestinal surgery, either in the diagnostic or operative fields of research. We are soliciting original articles, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, short communications, technical notes and opinion articles.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Background: The literature discussed colorectal surgery using a robotic platform, which is mainly the previous da Vinci Si system. The role of the da Vinci Xi surgical system remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the benefits and feasibility of using the robot-assisted method in colorectal surgery. Methods: We retrospectively collected 418 patients undergoing minimally invasive colorectal surgery between March 2020 and December 2021, in a single center. Patients were divided into robotic and laparoscopic groups. Primary outcomes were conversion rates to open surgery, complications, and length of stay (LOS). Secondary outcomes were post-operation functional outcomes. Results: A total of 218 patients received colectomy, while 200 patients received rectum resection. No differences were found in the conversion rate in both groups. A lower complication rate (colectomy: 7.5% vs. 23.2%, p = 0.01, rectum resection: 14.1% vs. 28.7%, p = 0.038) and shorter LOS (5 vs. 8 days, p < 0.001) was found in the robotic group. The robotic approach was associated with good functional outcomes in tolerated solid food and the termination of urinary drainage. Conclusions: The new da Vinci Xi system is safe and feasible both for colonic and rectal surgery, with reduced complications. Shorter LOS and reliable short-term outcomes may reflect both better functional recovery and surgical quality when compared to laparoscopic surgery. Full article

Purpose: The aim of this study is to establish whether implement ation of the ERAS protocol has a beneficial effect postoperatively after ileostomy reversal. Introduction: Loop ileostomy is commonly performed during anterior rectal resection with total mesorectal excision to protect the newly created anastomosis. Ileostomy reversal is performed after rectal anastomoses are completely healed and can be associated with complications. The use of the ERAS protocol in elective colorectal surgery has been shown to significantly reduce the complication rate and length of hospital stay without an increased readmission rate. Methods: After PROSPERO registration (CRD42023449551), a systematic review of the following databases was carried out: MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus. This meta-analysis involved studies up to December 2023 without language restrictions. A random effects model meta-analysis was performed to assess complications, readmissions, and length of stay (LOS) in ileostomy reversal patients with and without ERAS protocol implementation. Results: Six articles were analyzed, and each study reported on the elements of the ERAS protocol. There was no significant difference between the ERAS and non-ERAS groups in terms of complications rate (OR = 0.98; 95%CI: 0.64–1.52; I2 = 0%). Postoperative ileus was the most prevalent adverse event in both groups. The readmission rate did not differ significantly between the groups (OR = 1.77; 95%CI: 0.85–3.50, I2 = 0%). In comparison to the control group, the LOS in the ERAS group was noticeably shorter (MD = −1.94; 95%CI: −3.38–−0.49; I2 = 77%). Conclusions: Following the ERAS protocol can result in a shorter LOS and does not increase complications or readmission rates in patients undergoing ileostomy reversal. Thus, the ERAS protocol is recommended for clinical implementation. Full article
