Article Synopsis
- Standard treatment for resectable peritoneal metastases (PM) involves cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), but recurrence rates are high, prompting consideration for repeat procedures in some patients.
- A study analyzed 132 repeat CRS/HIPEC surgeries between 1994 and 2024, finding that most patients had multiple procedures with similar complications and recovery times, and no 90-day postoperative mortality was recorded.
- Results indicated that while overall survival and recurrence-free survival varied, the procedure offers comparable outcomes for both initial and repeat surgeries, with improved survival observed, particularly for patients with peritoneal pseudomyxoma (
Article Synopsis
- Global uncertainties have led Western nations to undertake evacuations, exemplified by France's Operation SAGITTAIRE in Sudan during a civil war in April 2023, which involved a sophisticated multi-modal evacuation of over 1,000 individuals from 84 nationalities.
- The operation involved special forces and medical teams, functioning around the clock for 96 hours without fatalities, executing various surgical procedures and utilizing the Joint Medical Surgical Center in Djibouti as a key medical facility.
- The findings from the operation stress the necessity of a robust health support system for such military interventions, advocating for a comprehensive approach in Non-combatant Evacuation Operations as part of French military doctrine.
