“…Crossed out portal filter, they could potentially reach every organ. Otherwise it is hypothesized lymphatic drainage of the oncospheres, inhalation of contaminated air and direct inoculation after trauma or bug's sting as alternative ways of infection and uncommon localization of the disease (4,5). One case reports a bee sting as possible responsible of transmission (6); inoculated eggs could find optimal pH condition in order to open the shell thanks to lactic acid and acid hydrolase of muscles production after trauma and inflammation (6).…”

“…It is well known the correlations between pharmacological strategies, such as in Crohn's disease, and the risk to develop rare tumors or complications such as bowel perforation. Bowel herniation also represents a risk factor of perforation (19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37). Multiple Organ Failure (MOF) represents the fatal evolution of the peritonitis (4).…”

“…(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22). The pitfalls of this disease are the doubtful diagnosis in its early stage in which it can be mimicking different digestive diseases, even functional, (23)(24)(25)(26)(27) and, subsequently, a possible evolution in severe peritonitis and sepsis (28)(29)(30)(31). As a consequence, although the appendectomy is considered a simple and safe procedure, a reliable diagnosis and a safe and correct surgical procedure are needed (32).…”

clinical practice gold standard in the activity of a general emergency unit with a variety of senior surgeons with different skills on the basic laparoscopy. Study designThe present institutional retrospective cohort study included patients who have been preoperatively evaluated in case of emergency and scheduled for appendectomy within 24 hours after recovery.The main goal is to evaluate if the laparoscopic appendectomy on the whole is an advantageous procedure in a team consisting in senior surgeon who are mostly dedicated at a different kind of surgery, having different skills in laparoscopic surgery, and if those different skills affect the results. We performed a review of available data of patients who underwent appendectomy during the period in which the data of the surgical procedures were registered in the institutional electronic database (Intranet). MethodsThe present retrospective study was carried out from January 2010 to June 2016 in the Unit of General and Emergency Surgery of the "Policlinico P. Giaccone" -University of Palermo (Italy) and concerned the appendectomies performed by 6 senior surgeons working at the Unit during the whole period of observation. The activity of the surgeons that turned up successively in the team, and those who came out was excluded from this study. We included the appendectomies carried out with the conventional three-port laparoscopic approach or the Mac Burney incision for the conventional open approach. The midline xiphoid-pubis incision and the umbilicuspubis laparotomy were excluded if carried out as firstchoice approach. On the contrary, these were taken into consideration if a standard (laparotomic/laparoscopic) technique was converted to an open technique through a wide abdominal access (s).The surgeons were classified with a generic descriptor-based grading (Table 1), related exclusively to general laparoscopic skills and accepted by mutual consent of all operators (11). It should be underlined that the three "skilled" surgeons attended, during their career, a formal course of laparoscopy, on the other hand (contrary) the surgeons classified as "level 3" did not. The severity of acute appendicitis was classified according to the Disease Severity Score described by Garst et al. (12), reported on the Table 2. The surgical procedures were the conventional laparotomic appendectomy performed through a Mac-Burney incision or the three-port laparoscopic approach. The conventional, laparotomic approach was performed with a 2-5 cm long Incision along a Langer line at the junction of lateral one-third and medial twothird of right anterior superior iliac spine and umbilicus. Then, the superficial abdominal fascia is incised. Once the lateral margin of the rectum abdomen muscle is visualized it is medially retracted and the deep fascia incised, or rectum muscle is incised along the direction of its fibers. Then, the external oblique muscle is also incised and transversalis fascia visualized. After this fascia and the peritoneum were incised, the appendix is localized an...
