Heridas por asta de toro, análisis de 138 casos.

Objective: Bull-horn injuries (BHI) are unique and there is reduced published literature about it. We present an analysis of a 11-year BHI case series.

Method: Study of 138 cases developed during a 11-year period with hospitalization admission greater than 24 hours with diagnosis of BHI/contusion.

Inguinal abscess as presentation of a right colon cancer. A systematic review.

Perforation in colorectal cancer is an uncommon condition, and neoplastic invasion of the abdominal wall with local infection is even rarer. Our objective is to present the case of an 84-year-old male with right colon cancer that manifested as an inguinal abscess, and also to perform a systematic review of the literature in PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science. A total of 59 cases in retrospective studies were found.

Readmission rates after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: are they affected by ERCP prior to surgery?

Aim: the aim of this study was to assess the reasons for and the time of hospital readmissions after cholecystectomy, according to whether an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed.

Method: all patients that underwent cholecystectomy at the Service of Digestive Diseases and General Surgery of the Hospital Universitario de Guadalajara between January 2011 and December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who underwent cholecystectomy and were readmitted to any hospital service within 90 days of surgery were included.

The Cost of Postoperative Complications and Economic Validation of the Comprehensive Complication Index: Prospective Study.

Objective: To validate the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) via an assessment of its relation to postoperative costs.

Background: The CCI summarizes all the postoperative complications graded by the Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) on a numerical scale. Its relation to hospital costs has not been validated to date.

Clinical Validation of the Comprehensive Complication Index as a Measure of Postoperative Morbidity at a Surgical Department: A Prospective Study.

Objective: Using clinical outcomes, to validate the comprehensive complication index (CCI) as a measure of postoperative morbidity in all patients undergoing surgery at a general surgery department.

Background: The Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) is the most widely used system to assess postoperative morbidity. The CCI is a numerical scale based on the CDC.

Elevated parathyroid hormone levels after successful parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism: a clinical review.

Introduction: Surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is traditionally deemed to be successful if serum calcium levels return to normal 6 months after parathyroidectomy. Regular monitoring of serum calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the follow-up of patients after parathyroidectomy for PHPT has drawn attention to the presence of a normocalcemic group of patients with elevated PTH (NCePTH) during the post-operative period. The etiological factors and mechanisms underlying this condition, its consequences, and the possibility of treatment are the object of this study.
