Background Hartmann's procedure (HP) is used in surgical emergencies such as colonic perforation and colonic obstruction. “Temporary” colostomy performed during HP is not always reversed in part due to potential morbidity and mortality associated with reversal. There are several contributing factors for patients requiring a permanent colostomy following HP. Therefore, there is still some discussion about which technique to use. The aim of this study was to evaluate perioperative variables of patients undergoing Hartmann's reversal using a laparoscopic and open approach. Methods The multicenter retrospective cohort study was done between January 2009 and December 2019 at 14 institutions globally. Patients who underwent Hartmann's reversal laparoscopic (LS) and open (OS) approaches were evaluated and compared. Sociodemographic, preoperative, intraoperative variables, and surgical outcomes were analyzed. The main outcomes evaluated were 30‐day mortality, length of stay, complications, and postoperative outcomes. Results Five hundred and two patients (264 in the LS and 238 in the OS group) were included. The most prevalent sex was male in 53.7%, the most common indication was complicated diverticular disease in 69.9%, and 85% were American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) II‐III. Intraoperative complications were noted in 5.3% and 3.4% in the LS and OS groups, respectively. Small bowel injuries were the most common intraoperative injury in 8.3%, with a higher incidence in the OS group compared with the LS group (12.2% vs. 4.9%, p < 0.5). Inadvertent injuries were more common in the small bowel (3%) in the LS group. A total of 17.2% in the OS versus 13.3% in the LS group required intensive care unit (ICU) admission ( p = 0.2). The most frequent postoperative complication was ileus (12.6% in OS vs. 9.8% in LS group, p = 0.4)). Reintervention was required mainly in the OS group (15.5% vs. 5.3% in LS group, p < 0.5); mortality rate was 1%. Conclusions Laparoscopic Hartmann's reversal is safe and feasible, associated with superior clinical outcomes compared with open surgery.
Resumen En el campo de la medicina las redes sociales han ganado poco a poco terreno y hoy en día juegan un rol importante en el aprendizaje y la enseñanza de conocimientos que se pueden trasmitir de inmediato y de forma masiva. El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar la experiencia colombiana en el uso de las redes sociales para crear aprendizaje quirúrgico significativo, con liderazgo y tutoría global. Se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo retrospectivo desde la creación de nuestras redes sociales en Twitter, 22 de febrero al 22 de agosto de 2019, evaluando las siguientes variables: número de tweets académicos, número de seguidores, impresiones, visitas y menciones. Desde la creación de nuestra red social Twitter @Cirbosque para realizar educación virtual quirúrgica a través de redes sociales con el fin de generar un aprendizaje significativo en nuestros seguidores, en solo seis meses del proyecto, seguimos a 62 cuentas, hemos realizado hasta la fecha 5.025 tweets académicos, con un crecimiento del 77,1% mensual, con 2.203 seguidores, con un crecimiento del 426 seguidores mensual, 1.090.000 impresiones, con un crecimiento del 56% mensual, 13.500 mil visitas, con un crecimiento del 28,9% mensual y 2.028 menciones, con un crecimiento del 88,3% mensual. Aunque la evidencia aún es insuficiente para garantizar que la educación que se hace a través de redes sociales y de @Cirbosque sea eficiente, el impacto que ha tenido esta iniciativa en Twitter es apreciada por muchos cirujanos a nivel mundial incluyendo a grandes maestros referentes en cada uno de los temas que se han tratado, de la misma forma, la cantidad de participantes en las diversas discusiones planteadas día a día y con un incremento en todos los indicadores de impacto según Twitter Analytics, se puede deducir que el mensaje educativo está teniendo un efecto positivo y está llegando a miles de personas a nivel mundial.
Since November 2019, the COVID-19 Pandemic produced by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Severe Coronavirus 2 (hereafter COVID-19) has caused approximately seven million deaths globally. Several studies have been conducted using technological tools to prevent infection, to prevent spread, to detect, to vaccinate, and to treat patients with COVID-19. This work focuses on identifying and analyzing machine learning (ML) algorithms used for detection (prediction and diagnosis), monitoring (treatment, hospitalization), and control (vaccination, medical prescription) of COVID-19 and its variants. This study is based on PRISMA methodology and combined bibliometric analysis through VOSviewer with a sample of 925 articles between 2019 and 2022 derived in the prioritization of 32 papers for analysis. Finally, this paper discusses the study’s findings, which are directions for applying ML to address COVID-19 and its variants.
Las lesiones de la vía biliar y las reconstrucciones biliodigestivas son un reto quirúrgico para el cirujano, además de una situación que exige su máxima habilidad y conocimiento. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con una reconstrucción biliodigestiva por una lesión de vía biliar abierta la cual fue fallida. Se decide llevar a reconstrucción biliodigestiva por laparoscopia, con preservación del páncreas, en un asa con hepatoyeyunostomía y gastroyeyunostomía. Este caso ilustra la posibilidad del manejo con cirugía mínimamente invasiva incluso en los casos más graves; sin embargo, se requiere alta experticia al momento de abordarlo.
