Rectovaginal fistula: Risk factors for failure after graciloplasty—A bicentric retrospective European study of 61 patients
No full textBACKGROUND: Graciloplasty (GP) is indicated in case of recurrent rectovaginal fistula (RVF) after failure of previous local treatments. The aim of this study was to assess risk factors for GP failure performed for RVF.METHODS: Retrospective study based on a prospective database of GP, coming from two expert centers.RESULTS: 61 patients undergoing a first GP for RVF (n=51) or ileal-vaginal fistula after ileal-pouch-anal-anastomosis (IPAA) (n=10), with a mean age of 42 years (range, 24-72) were analyzed. After a mean follow-up of 56 ± 48 months (range, 1-183), failure of GP (considered as persistent stoma and/or clinical RVF) was noted in 24/61 patients (39%). Failure rate was 43% (13/30) in case of Crohn's disease, 38% (3/8) in case of ileal-vaginal fistula after IPAA for ulcerative colitis, 30% in case of obstetrical RVF (3/10), 33% in case of post radiotherapy RVF (1/3), and 40% for other causes (4/10) (NS). Two risk factors for failure of GP were found on univariate analysis: 1) absence of postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP): only 3/24 (13%) patients with failure of GP received PAP versus 18/37 (49%) patients with success of GP (p=0.0053); 2) postoperative perineal infection: 11/23 (48%) with failure of GP failure developed postoperative perineal infection versus only 4/37 (10%) patients with success of GP (p=0.0021).CONCLUSIONS: Failure of Graciloplasty for rectovaginal fistula is observed in approximately 40% of the patients whatever the aetiology of the fistula. Reduced failure rate was associated with systematic postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis
Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography could reduce the risk of anastomotic leakage in rectal cancer surgery: a systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials
No full textAim: Several papers have shown that use of indocyanine green (ICG) decreases incidence of anastomotic leakage (AL) during colonic surgery, but no clear evidence has been found for rectal cancer surgery. Therefore, with this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) we aimed to assess if ICG could also reduce risk of AL in rectal cancer surgery.
Method: PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL and Cochrane databases were searched for RCTs assessing the effect of intraoperative ICG on the incidence of AL of the colorectal anastomosis. Pooled relative risk (RR) and pooled risk difference (RD) were obtained using models with random effects. Risk of bias was evaluated with the Rob2 tool and the quality of evidence was assessed using the GRADE Pro tool.
Results: Four RCTs were included for analysis, with a total of 1510 patients (743 controls and 767 ICG patients). The rate of AL was 9% in the ICG group (69/767) and 13.9% (103/743) in the control group (p = 0.003, RR -0.5, 95% CI -0.827 to -0.172, heterogeneity test 0%, p = 0.460). The RD in terms of incidence of AL was significantly decreased by 4.51% (p = 0.031, 95% CI -0.086 to -0.004, heterogeneity test 28%, p = 0.182) when using ICG.
Conclusion: Our meta-analysis suggested that use of ICG during rectal cancer surgery could reduce the rate of AL
Laparoscopic subtotal colectomy with double-end ileosigmoidostomy in right iliac fossa facilitates second-stage surgery in patients with inflammatory bowel disease
No full textBACKGROUND:
There is no consensus about the most appropriate management of rectal stump in laparoscopic subtotal colectomy (STC) performed for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The objective is to report our experience of laparoscopic STC with double-end ileosigmoidostomy in the right iliac fossa for IBD.
METHODS:
All patients undergoing laparoscopic STC and double-end ileosigmoidostomy in the right iliac fossa for IBD in 2 European expert centres were included.
RESULTS:
From 1999 to 2017, laparoscopic STC and double-end ileosigmoidostomy in right iliac fossa was performed in 213 consecutive patients, including 74 patients in an emergency setting (35%). Conversion to laparotomy was necessary in 9 patients (4%). One patient died postoperatively (0.5%). Postoperative morbidity occurred in 53 patients (25%) after STC, and was major in 18 patients (8%). A second stage was performed in 199 patients (94%), with a mean delay of 4.7 ± 6 months (range 1.4-77). The second stage was an ileorectal anastomosis (n = 50/199; 25%), performed by an elective open incision in the right iliac fossa in 68% of cases; an ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) (n = 139; 70%) successfully performed by laparoscopy in 96% of cases; or an abdominoperineal excision with end ileostomy (n = 10; 5%) successfully performed by laparoscopy in 8 cases. After this second stage, postoperative morbidity occurred in 53 patients (27%), and was major in 15 patients (8%). After a mean follow-up of 3.7 ± 3 years (range 0.1-15), stoma rate (end ileostomy and diverting stoma not closed) was 17%, and small bowel obstruction and incisional hernia occurred in 10 (5%) and 25 (12%) patients, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS:
Laparoscopic STC and double-end ileosigmoidostomy in right iliac fossa is safe, feasible, and facilitates the second stage for intestinal continuity by either elective incision or laparoscopy in 100% of ileorectal anastomoses and by laparoscopy in 96% of IPAA

The question of empire today
No full textY.C. Zarka, tomando como referencia la política exterior de Estados Unidos, presenta una reflexión en perspectiva histórica, política y filosófica sobre la idea contemporánea de imperio. Los modelos del imperio romano y del imperio colonial han sido abandonados. El imperialismo contemporáneo impone su hegemonía por las vías económica y cultural. Partiendo de la dialéctica imperio-imperialismo, desde los conceptos de soberanía y democracia, el autor muestra las contradicciones internas y externas de lo que denomina repúblicas imperiales. Desde la primera perspectiva, la hegemonía imperial puede ser interpretada al mismo tiempo como la expresión y la crisis de la soberanía. Desde la segunda, la contradicción se encuentra en la justificación de una política internacional intervencionista en nombre de las ideas de libertad, república y democracia.Y.C. Zarka, has taking the foreign policy of the United States as a reference, presenting a reflection on the contemporary idea of empire in historical, political and philosophical perspective. The models of the Roman Empire and the colonial empire have been left behind. The contemporary imperialism enforces its hegemony by economy and culture. Due the empire-imperialism dialectic, the author shows the internal and external contradictions of what he names "imperial republics". For instance: the imperial hegemony can be interpreted as expression and crisis of the idea sovereignty; the interventionist international policy is justified on behalf of freedom, republic and democracy ideas.Publicad
Presentazione dell’edizione italiana di storia della Sicilia da Odisseo ai giorni nostri di Jean-Yves Frétigné
No full textPublished for the first time in 2009, for the Fayard types, and re-edited in 2018 in a "pocket" format, this History of Sicily by Jean-Yves Frétigné, with the subtitle from Odysseus to the present day, presented to the French public as an easy consultation, a "Compagnon de voyage" destined to have an excellent editorial success with over 8,000 copies sold.The Italian translation presented here does not have the presumption of concurring with the monumental works of the history of Sicily which constitute an essential reference by the same Author, as the rich bibliography in the appendix to the volume clearly testifies. Rather, it intends to offer, in just over 400 pages, the “external” look on Sicily of a French historian, as Finley, Mack Smith, Duggan or Norwich have done in the past

Yves Bergeron : Une carrière dévolue à comprendre les forêts naturelles et à influencer l’aménagement forestier. Yves Bergeron: A career devoted to understanding natural forests and influencing forest management.
No full textL’article présente une rétrospective de la carrière de Yves Bergeron en faisant le lien avec l’évolution des concepts en écologie forestière et le développement des nouvelles approches en aménagement forestier. Il est construit autour de plusieurs encarts présentant les contributions les plus importantes. Celles-ci sont le développement du cadre écologique comme base de décision pour l’aménagement forestier; la reconstitution historique des feux dans les milieux boréaux; la dynamique forestière après les perturbations naturelles; le développement de l’aménagement écosystémique des milieux forestiers; les enjeux liés à la productivité et aux forêts anciennes et finalement l’impact des changements climatiques. On conclut sur la conviction qu’une transition assistée s’appuyant sur notre connaissance des mécanismes naturels demeure possible bien que le temps presse.The presentation of the authors' names and (or) special characters in the title of the pdf file of the accepted manuscript may differ slightly from what is displayed on the item page.
