Article Synopsis
- - Iatrogenic urinary tract injury (IUTI) is a serious complication that can arise from emergency digestive surgery, leading to increased health risks and long-term quality of life issues for patients.
- - The incidence of IUTIs varies from 0.3% to 1.5%, highlighting the need for clear strategies for prevention and management, especially given the high number of these surgeries done globally.
- - The World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) has developed guidelines based on extensive literature review and expert consultations, focusing on effective prevention measures, detection methods, and management strategies—including antibiotic use—pertaining to IUTIs in emergency settings.
Article Synopsis
- Caecal volvulus is a rare but serious cause of intestinal blockage that can occur after retroperitoneal surgery, leading to high risks of complications and death.
- An 80-year-old woman experienced this condition following an elective surgery for cancer and developed an intestinal obstruction.
- She underwent an emergency surgical procedure to address the caecal volvulus and reconnect her intestines.
Purpose: The aims of this paper were to evaluate the clinical features of patients with primary duodenal adenocarcinoma and to address the prognostic relevance of different surgical and pathological variables after potentially curative pancreaticoduodenectomy.
Methods: Patients with primary duodenal adenocarcinoma observed from 2000 through 2009 were identified from a single-institution electronic database. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors associated with survival.
Background: Reinforcement of inguinal hernia repair with prosthetic mesh is standard practice but can cause considerable pain and stiffness around the groin and affect physical functioning. This has led to various types of mesh being engineered, with a growing interest in lighter-weight mesh. Minimally invasive approaches have also significantly reduced postoperative recovery from inguinal hernia repair.
