Risk of Bowel Obstruction After Hysterectomy for Benign Indication According to Surgical Method in Denmark, 1984-2013.

Study Objective: To estimate the risk of bowel obstruction (BO) after hysterectomy for benign indications depending on the surgical method (abdominal, vaginal, or laparoscopic) and identify risk factors for adhesive BO.

Design: A national registry-based cohort.

Setting: Danish hospitals during the period 1984-2013.

An autologous blood-derived patch as a hemostatic agent: evidence from thromboelastography experiments and a porcine liver punch biopsy model.

Perioperative bleeding is a common complication in surgeries that increases morbidity, risk of mortality, and leads to increased socioeconomic costs. In this study we investigated a blood-derived autologous combined leukocyte, platelet, and fibrin patch as a new means of activating coagulation and maintaining hemostasis in a surgical setting. We evaluated the effects of an extract derived from the patch on the clotting of human blood in vitro, using thromboelastography (TEG).

Long-Term Health Consequences After Ovarian Removal at Benign Hysterectomy : A Nationwide Cohort Study.

Background: More evidence is needed to substantiate current recommendations about removing ovaries during hysterectomy for benign conditions.

Objective: To compare long-term outcomes in women with and without bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) during hysterectomy for benign conditions.

Design: Emulated target trial using data from a population-based cohort.

Ovarian removal and subsequent breast cancer prognosis: a nationwide cohort study.

Purpose: To evaluate whether previous ovarian removal concomitant with benign hysterectomy improves prognosis in a cohort of women with breast cancer.

Methods: In this nationwide register-based cohort study, risk of recurrence and mortality were examined in 4563 women with invasive breast cancer and previous bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) concomitant with benign hysterectomy, during 1977-2018. Comparing with benign hysterectomy alone, hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were evaluated by Cox-proportional hazards regression models.

Autologous Blood-Derived Patches Used as Anti-adhesives in a Rat Uterine Horn Damage Model.

Background: Intra-abdominal adhesions are frequent side effects of surgery, associated with risks of serious complications such as abdominal pain, infertility, and small bowel obstruction. This study investigated a new autologous blood-based approach to adhesion prophylaxis.

Materials And Method: Two autologous blood-derived patches (whole-blood-derived, n = 20, and plasma-derived, n = 20) were evaluated as anti-adhesives.
