Article Abstract
Perioperative management of antithrombotic agents may affect bleeding and lead to thromboembolic complications, but there is no consensus on optimal protocol in head and neck surgery. To explore the effect of antithrombotic agents on postoperative bleeding. We compared clinical characteristics, type of surgery, antithrombotic agents, continued use of medication or not, and frequency of postoperative bleeding among patients who were receiving antithrombotic therapy at the time of their decision to undergo surgery for head and neck malignancies, from 2008 to 2022. A total of 168 patients were included. There was no significant difference in the incidence of intraoperative blood loss or postoperative bleeding between the group that underwent surgery while on antithrombotic therapy and those that underwent surgery after antithrombotic therapy was discontinued. In particular, there was no increase in bleeding complications with antiplatelet agents, regardless of the type or number of agents used. Surgery for head and neck malignancies with continued antiplatelet therapy may not increase bleeding complications, regardless of the type of antiplatelet therapy and even when multiple agents are taken.

Comparison of short- and long-term outcomes between transcatheter and surgical aortic valve replacement for bicuspid aortic valve stenosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Int J Surg
September 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, The Affiliated Hospital, Southwest Medical University, Metabolic Vascular Diseases Key Laboratory of Sichuan Province, Key Laboratory of Cardiovascular Remodeling and Dysfunction, Luzhou, Sichuan, PR China.
Objective: This meta-analysis aimed to compare the perioperative safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) versus surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) stenosis.
Methods: We systematically analyzed studies from PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and CNKI comparing TAVR and SAVR in BAV stenosis. Outcomes included postoperative mortality, complications, all-cause survival, and freedom from stroke.
Dual-arterial occlusion of the celiac trunk and superior mesenteric artery for laparoscopic enucleation of deep-seated or broad-based pancreatic head tumors: a prospective, single-arm pilot study.

Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, Zhejiang The Second Affiliated Hospital, University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.
Background: Enucleation has the advantages of preserving function and avoiding pancreaticoduodenectomy for benign and low-grade malignant neoplasms in the pancreatic head. However, laparoscopic enucleation (LEn) of pancreatic head tumors remains challenging in terms of bleeding control and duct integrity preservation because of the complicated blood supply to the pancreatic head and the adjacent relationships of lesions with the main pancreatic duct (MPD), especially for deep-seated or broad-based lesions. Here, we developed a novel dual-arterial occlusion technique to facilitate LEn of pancreatic head tumors and evaluated its feasibility and safety.

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.

Background: Revision hip arthroplasty is associated with significant blood loss and a subsequent need for blood transfusion. Intraoperative cell salvage (ICS) is a method of recovering a patient's blood for autologous transfusion. This potentially reduces the need for allogenic blood transfusion (ABT), thus avoiding associated risk and expense.

Background: The treatment of critically ill patients in intensive care units is becoming increasingly complex. For example, organ transplants are regularly carried out, the recipients are seriously ill, and the postoperative course can be complicated. This is why organ replacement and hemadsorption procedures are becoming increasingly important.
