Article Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed to describe the relationship between the number of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) resected and the rate of postoperative complications and to determine a threshold level, if any, for which the risk of postoperative complications outweighs the benefit of resection of metastatic disease.

Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database from 2019 to 2021. Patients were divided into three major groups: one to two, three to four, and more than five CRLM.

Results: A total of 5124 patients had CRLM. Compared to patients with one to two and three to four CRLM, patients with 5+ resections were at increased risk of any complication (1655 [50% for one to two CRLM versus 697 [65%] for three to four CRLM versus 437 [76%] for 5+ LM; P = 0.001), surgical complications (1305 [40%] versus 556 [52%] versus 349 [60%]; P = 0.001), and medical complications (350 [10%] versus 141 [13%] versus 88 [16%]; P = 0.001).

Conclusions: Our data demonstrate a significant increase in any surgical complications with three to four tumors resected and a significant increase in any surgical and medical complications and length of stay >5 ds with five or more tumors resected.

Introduction: Differentiating acute tubular necrosis (ATN) from rejection in pediatric kidney transplant (KT) recipients remains challenging and necessitates invasive biopsy. Doppler ultrasound-derived resistive index (RI) is a noninvasive modality to assess graft status, but its diagnostic utility in children is unclear. This study evaluates RI's ability to distinguish ATN and rejection in KT.

Unlabelled: Aortic dissection is a life-threatening cardiovascular emergency, particularly Stanford type A, which typically necessitates urgent surgical intervention. Despite advances in surgical techniques and perioperative care, preoperative bleeding and coagulopathy remain significant challenges. Tranexamic acid, an antifibrinolytic agent, is widely used to minimize perioperative bleeding in cardiovascular surgeries; however, its role in the non-surgical, preoperative stabilization of aortic dissection has not been well established.

Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of internal fixation of locking compression plate and Cannulated Screw in treatment of elderly femoral neck fractures.

Methods: 175 patients with femoral neck fractures admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to December 2022 were enrolled in the study. 93 cases in the control group were treated with Cannulated Screw internal fixation, and 82 cases in the observation group were treated with locking plate internal fixation.

We describe a case of a 64-year-old obese woman with a history of severe acute cholecystitis and choledocholithias who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our clinic after endoscopic treatment by sphincterotomy and stent insertion. On the first operative day, a significant bile leakage of 400 ml appeared in the drainage. An immediate surgical revision was performed, starting by laparoscopy with conversion to open surgery.

Introduction: Dumping syndrome (DS) and postprandial hypoglycemia (PPH) are challenging complications encountered after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Surgical revision is often the next therapeutic step when pharmacological and dietary treatments fail to control DS and PPH. Endoscopic argon plasma coagulation (APC) is a less invasive alternative that reduces the diameter of the gastrojejunal anastomosis (GJA).
