Introduction: Traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI) is frequently observed in polytrauma patients.
Research Question: What is the optimal strategy to manage tSCI in the setting of polytrauma?
Material And Methods: This narrative review focuses on: 1) extraspinal damage control surgery and resuscitation, 2) the perioperative protection of the injured spine during emergency surgery, 3) imaging and timing of spinal surgery in polytrauma, 4) early interventions for skin, bowel and bladder, and 5) the multidisciplinary approach to tSCI polytrauma patients.
Results: Damage control resuscitation (DCR) and damage control surgery (DCS), aim to prevent/correct post-traumatic physiological derangements to minimize bleeding until definitive hemostasis is achieved.
Article Synopsis
- - The quality of medical data analysis relies on effective collection and organization methods, and a Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG) can improve this in emergency surgery by enhancing information connections while addressing limitations of traditional Knowledge Graphs.
- - The authors created the Emergency Surgery DKG using the cyb.ai protocol from the Cosmos network, utilizing relevant publications to build a comprehensive resource for emergency surgical knowledge.
- - The DKG aims to enhance understanding among healthcare providers about medical and surgical relationships, ensuring accessibility for users globally, while emphasizing the importance of user feedback and adherence to ethical guidelines for its continued development and impact.
Acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC) and acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) are significant complications of gallstone disease. This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of current management practices for ACC and ABP. The Tokyo Guidelines (TG) and World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) guidelines recommend early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ELC) as the treatment of choice for ACC.

- * A thorough literature review led to the selection of 287 studies, which informed the development of 39 key statements addressing surgical indications, timing, and techniques for SSRF.
- * The consensus document serves to clarify best practices in managing rib fractures, helping clinicians make informed decisions about the surgical treatment process.
Article Synopsis
- The use of percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) for treating acute cholecystitis (AC) has increased due to an aging population and supportive guidelines, prompting a need for clearer management protocols.
- An international consensus was developed through a two-round Delphi survey with 27 questions, and participants aimed for a minimum 70% agreement on the management of PCs.
- Out of these, six key recommendations were established, including the timing of PC implementation and the need for cholangiography before PC removal, highlighting the necessity for comprehensive guidelines on PC management in AC patients.
