Article Abstract
Purpose: Enhanced recovery programmes (ERPs) after surgery reduce postoperative complications and hospital stay. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) often present risk factors for postoperative complications. This accounts for reluctance to include them in ERPs. We compared outcome after right colectomy with an ERP in IBD and non-IBD patients.
Methods: In our GRACE colorectal surgery database comprising 508 patients, we analysed patients scheduled for right colectomy (n = 160). Adherence to the protocol, postoperative complications and length of hospital stay of IBD patients (n = 45) were compared with those of non-IBD patients (n = 115). Data (mean ± SD, median [IQR], count (%)) were compared by Student's t, Mann-Whitney U and chi-square tests when appropriate; p < 0.05 taken as statistically significant.
Results: IBD patients were significantly younger (38.9 ± 13.8 vs. 58.9 ± 18.5 years, p < 0.001) and had lower BMI (23.0 ± 5.0 vs. 25.1 ± 5.0 kg m, p < 0.01). Adherence to ERP was similar in the two groups. Resumption of eating on the day of the operation was less well tolerated (73.3% vs. 85.2%, p < 0.05) and postoperative pain (p < 0.001) was greater in IBD patients. The incidence of postoperative complications (13.3% vs. 17.3%) and the length of hospital stay (3 [3-4.5] vs. 3 [2-5] days) were comparable in IBD and non-IBD patients, respectively.
Conclusion: The management of IBD patients in an ERP is not only feasible but also indicated. These patients benefit as much from ERP as non-IBD patients.

Minimally Invasive vs Open Surgery for Thoracolumbar Fractures in Patients With Ankylosing Spinal Diseases: A Meta-Analysis.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
August 2025
From the Department of Orthopedic Surgery (Daher, Aoun, Sebaaly), Hotel Dieu de France Hospital, Beirut, LEBANON, the Department of Orthopedic Surgery (Daher, Diebo, Daniels), Brown University, Providence, RI, the Department of Orthopedic Surgery (Daher, Cottrill, Passias), Duke University, Durham,
Background: Surgical management of thoracolumbar fractures in patients with ankylosing spinal disorders such as ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis remains debated. Although several studies have compared minimally invasive surgery to open fixation of thoracolumbar fractures in this patient population, a meta-analysis compiling the literature on this topic is lacking.
Methods: Following the PRISMA guidelines, PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar (pages 1 to 20) were accessed and explored until October 2024.
Swelling Management in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review.
JBJS Rev
September 2025
Joondalup Health Campus, Joondalup, Australia.
Background: Postoperative swelling is a common complication after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), associated with pain, limited mobility, and delayed recovery. This study aimed to systematically review the literature on interventions that reduce postoperative swelling, categorized into preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases.
Methods: A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-compliant search of PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases was performed for clinical studies evaluating interventions to reduce swelling after primary TKA.
Comparative biocompatibility of hydrophilic vs. hydrophobic intraocular lenses following phacoemulsification in patients with uveitis.

Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Purpose: To evaluate and compare the biocompatibility of hydrophilic and hydrophobic intraocular lenses (IOLs) in patients with uveitis undergoing phacoemulsification, with particular focus on posterior capsule opacification (PCO), postoperative inflammation, and visual outcomes.
Methods: Patients with uveitis who underwent phacoemulsification with IOL implantation between 2015 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Propensity score matching (1:1) was performed to account for clinical and demographic variables, yielding 132 eyes (66 per group) for analysis.
Outcomes and complications among nonagenarians undergoing cardiac surgery: A scoping review.
PLoS One
September 2025
Department of Cardiac Surgery, Epworth Eastern Hospital, Box Hill, Victoria, Australia.
Introduction: This review was aimed at understanding the scope of evidence regarding outcomes and complications in nonagenarians (90-99 years of age) undergoing open cardiac surgery.
Methods: The review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Extension for Scoping Review Protocol guidelines. A search of three databases, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, identified articles pertaining to nonagenarians undergoing various open cardiac surgical procedures.
Evaluating the predictive accuracy of cognitive screeners BAMCOG and MoCA in identifying postoperative delirium risk in aortic valve replacement patients: A cohort study.

Postoperative delirium (POD) and postoperative encephalopathy (POE) are common complications in older adults undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR), yet the predictive accuracy of cognitive screening tools remains uncertain. In this prospective cohort study, 50 patients aged 65 years and older scheduled for AVR between January and October 2022 underwent preoperative assessment with the Brain Aging Monitor Cognitive Assessment (BAMCOG) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Postoperatively, POD was evaluated with the Delirium Observation Screening (DOS) scale and POE with electroencephalography (EEG).
