Review Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Laparoscopy versus open surgery for advanced and resectable gastric cancer: a meta-analysis.
There are few studies in the literature comparing laparoscopic versus open Gastrectomy, predominantly for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Most of the available studies and meta-analysis compare both approaches in the early gastric cancer. The meta-analysis, here presented, compares the clinical outcomes between these two procedures for AGC. ⋯ Laparoscopic total and partial gastrectomy for AGC is associated with a longer operative time but lower blood loss and shorter postoperative hospital stay. Moreover there were similar outcomes between both approaches in terms of number of dissected lymph nodes and long-term follow-up (survival).

Review Case Reports
[Delayed intestinal obstruction due to a seatbelt].
During blunt abdominal trauma the small bowel and/or its mesentery may be injured; if abdominal trauma occurs after compression by an incorrectly-applied seat belt, underlying viscera may be crushed between the vertebral and the seat belt; ischemia or infarction of the intestinal wall, and delayed fibrosis and stenosis may occur. We present a patient, operated on two months after blunt abdominal trauma, with small bowel obstruction secondary to post-traumatic intestinal fibrosis. Assuming that this condition is rarely suspected, a delayed diagnosis and treatment of these patients may occur.
