The treatment of lithiasis in patients with biliodigestive bypass can be controversial. The combination of percutaneous access together with cholangioscopy is an alternative to surgical treatment for the management of this pathology. In recent years, the appearance of smaller and more flexible fiber-optic cholangioscopes as well as the possibility to perform lithotripsy have changed the treatment of this pathology, providing good results. After our experience, we believe that cholangioscopy assisted by a percutaneous approach is a safe technique, with few complications and early recovery for patients in whom it is not possible to perform endoscopic management.

Background: The world population is aging, with octogenarians expected to reach over 400 million by 2050. Acute cholecystitis is a serious complication in the elderly. Age is not a contraindication for emergency cholecystectomy, an option that can both save lives and preserve quality of life.
Methods: The present study aimed to compare open and laparoscopic surgical approaches. Over six months, 38 emergency surgery units enrolled all consecutive octogenarians with acute cholecystitis undergoing cholecystectomy. Postoperative outcomes were compared after propensity score matching analysis.
Results: The study included 212 patients (84 years [81-86], 47.2% women). The open approach was used in 32.1% of patients, and the laparoscopic approach in 67.9%. After propensity score matching, a decrease in hospital stays (open, 8 days [6-13]; laparoscopic, 5 days [4-8]; P < .001), 30-day morbidity (open, 48.5%; laparoscopic, 26.5%; P = .01), and 30-day mortality (open, 13.2%, laparoscopic, 1.5%; P = .02) was found. Among the specific postoperative complications, a decrease in septicemia (open, 14.7%; laparoscopic, 0%; P = .001) was observed.
Conclusions: Laparoscopic approach was used in two out of three octogenarians. After propensity score matching, octogenarians undergoing laparoscopic approach had shorter length of hospital stay, fewer 30-day postoperative complications, fewer episodes of septicemia, and less 30-day mortality than octogenarians undergoing open approach. These findings suggest that the laparoscopic approach may be the preferred choice for octogenarians with acute cholecystitis undergoing cholecystectomy.

Traumatic abdominal wall hernia (TAWH) is a protrusion of contents through a defect in the abdominal wall as a consequence of a blunt injury. The objective of this review was to describe demographic and clinical aspects of this rare pathology, identifying the optimal moment for surgical intervention, evaluating the need to use mesh, and analyzing the effectiveness of surgical treatment. Thus, a systematic review using PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases was carried out between January 2004 and March 2024. Computed tomography is the gold-standard imaging test for diagnosis. Open surgery is generally the preferred approach, particularly in emergencies. Acute TAWH can be treated by primary suture or mesh repair, depending on local conditions, while late cases usually require mesh.
