Article Abstract
Patients with connective tissue disease (CTD) present unique surgical, perioperative, operative, and postoperative challenges related to the often underlying severe pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dysfunction. The International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation-supported consensus document on lung transplantation in patients with CTD standardization addresses the surgical challenges and relevant cardiac involvement in the perioperative, operative, and postoperative management in patients with CTD.

Patient-reported outcomes after lobectomy vs. segmentectomy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer.

Department of Thoracic Surgery, National Cancer Center/National Clinical Research Center for Cancer/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, 100021, China.
Background: Surgical resection is the cornerstone for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with lobectomy historically standard. Evolving techniques have spurred debate comparing lobectomy and segmentectomy. This study analyzed early postoperative patient-reported symptoms and functional status in patients with early NSCLC undergoing either procedure.

Background: One-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) has gained popularity as a bariatric operation due to its shorter operation time and lower perioperative complication rates, compared with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). However, OAGB is associated with short and long-term complications. Notably, in some reports a subset of patients developed liver dysfunction after OAGB, in some cases causing death or requiring liver transplantation.

Department of General and Visceral Surgery, University Hospital Brandenburg an der Havel, Brandenburg an der Havel, Germany.
Background: Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis (PAP) prior to laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery is still under debate due to a lack of high evidence. Thus, the study at hand aimed to find out whether this medication lowers the rate of postoperative complications or not.
Methods: In 2020, a retrospective analysis took place at Helios Hospital Berlin Buch, Germany.

Sodium-glucose Cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors are oral antidiabetic drugs that were developed for the treatment of patients with diabetes mellitus and are now also approved for treating chronic heart failure and chronic kidney disease. By inhibiting SGLT‑2 in the proximal renal tubule, urinary excretion of glucose is increased. Large randomized trials have demonstrated improved glycemic control, reduced cardiovascular events and lower mortality but also an increased risk of urogenital infections and dehydration.

Background: Appendicectomy is a well-established surgical procedure used for managing of acute appendicitis. In open appendicectomy, McBurney's point is the surgical landmark for locating the appendix, and it is common practice to make an incision there. However, in this study, we identified the root of the appendix via computed tomography, made an incision around that sites, and performed the appendicectomy through this incision.
