Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of prophylactic drainage after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, as there are mixed opinions regarding its benefits and risks.
- A total of 232 patients were analyzed, with findings indicating that surgical time was significantly longer in the drainage group compared to the non-drainage group, but no major complications differed notably between the two.
- The conclusion suggests that prophylactic drainage did not enhance patient outcomes and emphasizes the importance of personalized care in surgical practices.
Background: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an acute inflammatory disease of the peripheral nervous system, rarely following Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection. The authors aimed to review all cases in the English literature of GBS that occurred after primary VZV infection to investigate the clinical features, diagnostic workup, treatment, and outcome of patients with GBS following VZV.
Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Embase are systematically searched from their inception to 9 May 2022 to collect all cases of GBS following varicella-zoster infection.
