Tertiary Survey in the Days of Modern Imaging: Assessing the Detection Rate of Clinically Significant Injuries on Tertiary Survey in a Level 2 Trauma Centre.

Aim: To determine the utility of tertiary survey (TS) in patients subjected to whole-body CT (WBCT) or selective CT (SCT) following trauma.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on trauma patients admitted to a level 2 trauma centre following the introduction of a standardised TS form in 2017. The initial imaging protocol (WBCT versus selective CT versus x-ray), subsequently requested imaging, standardised injury data, and length of stay (LOS) were recorded.

Pancreatic pseudocysts, although typically occurring in the peripancreatic tissues, can in up to 25% be extra-pancreatic (Rasch Management of pancreatic pseudocysts-a retrospective analysis.

A rare case of solitary gallbladder metastasis from an early cutaneous melanoma.
