Effects of deep neuromuscular block on surgical workspace conditions in laparoscopic bariatric surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Introduction: It has been hypothesized that routine use of deep neuromuscular block (dNMB) is advisable in laparoscopic bariatric surgery to optimize workspace conditions. dNMB seems to have advantages in laparoscopic procedures on non-obese patients as it improves surgical space conditions and reduces postoperative pain scores. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed at comparing the impact of deep vs.

Perioperative-, Recipient-, and Donor-Related Factors Affecting Delayed Graft Function in Kidney Transplantation.

Objectives: Delayed graft function is a frequent complication in deceased-donor kidney transplant, with an incidence ranging from 10% to 50% among different centers; it is also associated with lower graft survival. In this study, we aimed to identify risk factors for delayed graft function, particularly those associated with perioperative management (including cold ischemia time) and nonmodifiable recipient- and donor-related factors. The effects of delayed graft function on graft and patient outcomes were also evaluated.
