Article Synopsis
  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the preferred method for treating acute cholecystitis, but percutaneous cholecystostomy is often used for high-risk surgical patients as a temporary solution or definitive treatment.
  • A review of existing literature, particularly focusing on a study by Spaniolas et al., was conducted to determine the best timing for laparoscopic cholecystectomy after cholecystostomy, but findings were inconclusive due to variability in study thresholds and limitations in the Spaniolas study.
  • The conclusion emphasizes that timing the laparoscopic procedure for when it is least technically challenging can help reduce complications and need for additional surgeries, although solid scientific backing is still lacking.

Background: Mesh salvage using negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in cases of mesh infection following hernia repair has emerged as an alternative to early mesh removal. However, the factors related to the success or failure of mesh salvage with NPWT remain unclear.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 61 patients with mesh infections after hernia repair treated with NPWT between 2018 and 2024.

Introduction: This retrospective study and review aim to investigate diffuse adult gliomas in the motor cortex (primary motor area, M1, and secondary motor area, M2, which includes the supplementary motor area and premotor cortex). It explores the relationships between the histologic and molecular profiles of the lesions, their location, and the type of resection performed, and correlates them with patients' outcomes post-surgery.

Material And Methods: An Institutional retrospective review was conducted on a consecutive series of 200 selected patients with histologically confirmed Glioblastomas (GBM) treated surgically between September 2018 and February 2022.
