To study innate immune pathways in patients undergoing hepatopancreaticobiliary surgery to understand mechanisms leading to enhanced inflammatory responses and identifying biomarkers of adverse clinical consequences. ⋯ These data demonstrate the mechanism for IL-6 overproduction in patients who develop postoperative SIRS and identify markers that predict patients at risk of SIRS 5 days before the onset of clinical signs.

Comparative Study
Oncologic Outcomes of Single-incision Laparoscopic Surgery Compared With Conventional Laparoscopy for Colon Cancer.
The aim of this study is to document perioperative results and mid-term oncologic outcomes of single-incision laparoscopic (SIL) colectomy compared to conventional laparoscopic (CL) colectomy. ⋯ SIL colectomy for colon cancer shows probably higher, but an acceptable complication rate and can provide resection and oncologic outcomes equal to those of CL colectomy.
