Fluorescent cholangiography in laparoscopic cholecystectomy: the initial Canadian experience.

Background: Bile duct injury remains a worrisome complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescent cholangiography (FC) is a new approach that facilitates real-time intraoperative identification of biliary anatomy. This technology is hoped to improve the safety of dissection within Calot's triangle.

Impact of the 2010 FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) World Cup on Pediatric Injury and Mortality in Cape Town, South Africa.

Objective: To examine how a mass-gathering event (the Federation Internationale de Football Association World Cup, 2010, South Africa) impacts trauma and mortality in the pediatric (≤ 18 years) population.

Study Design: We investigated pediatric emergency visits at Cape Town's 3 largest public trauma centers and 3 private hospital groups, as well as deaths investigated by the 3 city mortuaries. We compared the 31 days of World Cup with equivalent periods from 2007-2009, and with the 2 weeks before and after the event.
