Successful laparoscopic cholecystectomy at 32 weeks of pregnancy - A case report.

Introduction And Importance: During gestation, laparoscopic procedures, if needed, are generally considered most ideal within the second trimester. There are less reports of successful laparoscopic procedures in the third trimester of pregnancy due to performance hesitancy with concerns of preterm labor and/or other complications. While it is rare for laparoscopic cholecystectomy to be performed within the third trimester, it should not be delayed if needed, and excellent outcomes can be achieved with proper port placement and procedure.

Breast Hematoma: An Under-Recognized and Under-Reported Female-Specific Traumatic Injury and Its Clinical Significance.

Female-specific traumatic injury patterns have not been well researched and are potentially not well documented. Our aim was to examine the prevalence of breast hematomas (BHs) after blunt chest trauma, and to evaluate if there were risk factors associated with BH requiring intervention. A retrospective review from 2013 to 2018 was performed, identifying female patients ≥18 years sustaining blunt chest trauma.
