Cost-effectiveness of the Perioperative Pain Management Bundle a registry-based study.

Introduction: The Perioperative Pain Management Bundle was introduced in 10 Serbian PAIN OUT network hospitals to improve the quality of postoperative pain management. The Bundle consists of 4 elements: informing patients about postoperative pain treatment options; administering a full daily dose of 1-2 non-opioid analgesics; administering regional blocks and/or surgical wound infiltration; and assessing pain after surgery. In this study, we aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of the Bundle during the initial 24 h after surgery.

Severe Hemoperitoneum due to Ovarian Bleeding after Transvaginal Oocyte Retrieval with Surgical Management: A Retrospective Analysis and Comprehensive Review of the Literature.

: Severe hemoperitoneum of ovarian bleeding origin is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of transvaginal oocyte retrieval (TVOR) procedure. The study aimed to present a case series of surgically managed patients from our clinic with hemoperitoneum caused by ovarian bleeding after TVOR, as well as to perform a comprehensive literature review in order to summarize and analyze all published cases with this condition and their management. : The data of 2939 patients, who underwent TVOR procedures for IVF/ICSI (in vitro fertilization, intracytoplasmic sperm injection) in our clinic between 2010 and 2021 were reviewed.

Accuracy of IOTA Simple Rules, IOTA ADNEX Model, RMI, and Subjective Assessment for Preoperative Adnexal Mass Evaluation: The Experience of a Tertiary Care Referral Hospital.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of IOTA Simple Rules (SR), IOTA ADNEX model, Risk of Malignancy Index (RMI), and subjective assessment (SA) which is used for adnexal mass assessment in our institution.

Design: This is a prospective observational study.

Participants/materials, Setting, Methods: We included patients with at least one adnexal mass who needed elective surgical evaluation based on clinical and laboratory findings.

Cesarean myomectomy in modern obstetrics: More light and fewer shadows.

The study aim was to evaluate management of myomas during cesarean section, the pro and cons and the outcomes of cesarean myomectomy. Moreover, we tried to investigate the long-term outcomes of cesarean myomectomy. The authors conducted a literature review using scientific databases, focusing on the benefits and outcomes of cesarean myomectomy and the recent trends regarding this topic, and identified relevant articles, related references and other papers citing them.

Epidural anesthesia can block the negative effects of prostaglandin mediators during prostate surgery.

Introduction: Inflammation plays a key role in the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is an important inflammation factor found in enlarged prostatic tissue that can be the main cause of inflammatory pain. The aim of this study was to investigate whether epidural anesthesia can block the negative effects of prostaglandin mediators during prostate surgery.

Introduction of new Tumor Marker Age Score in clinical practice: Validity evaluation for differentiation benign from malignant adnexal masses.

Objective: The aim of the study was to examine several tumor markers and their correlation with pathohistological findings in patients with adnexal masses.

Methods: Study involved 139 patients, 84 of them with benign, 47 with malignant and 8 with borderline adnexal tumor. Levels of CA 125, CA 19-9, CEA and CA 15-3 were obtained preoperatively and assessed regarding the specific pathohistological diagnose and the patient's age.

Evaluation of the risk malignancy index diagnostic value in patients with adnexal masses.

Background/aim: Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancies. Risk of malignancy index (RMI) is recommended in assessment of patients with adnexal masses. The aim of this study was to verify the effectiveness of the RMI in the discrimination between benign lesions and malignant adnexal masses in clinical practice.

Preoperative preparation of pregnant women.

All the elective surgeries are to be avoided during pregnancy and pregnant women should undergo only emergency surgical interventions. Pregnancy is associated with different physiological changes in the organism, which should be taken into account in preparative preparation of the pregnant women. Expanded body fluid volume leads to dilutional anemia, however other hematological disorders may be present as well.

Preoperative evaluation of patients with history of allergy.

The prevalence of allergic reactions in general opulation shows a constant rise. It has been estimated that up to 40% of surgical patients have a positive history of some kind of allergy. These patients represent a challenge during perioperative evaluation, since they can be exposed to a large variety of drugs and substances during surgery and anesthesia.

Preoperative assessment of patients with end stage renal failure.

Patients with end stage renal failure (ESRF) present a number of challenges to the anesthesiologist. They may be chronically ill and debilitated and have the potential for multisystem organ dysfunction. Patients with primary renal disease are likely younger and have good cardiopulmonary reserve.

Topical glycopirrolate for the management of hyperhidrosis in herpetic neuralgia.

Herpes zoster is a relapse of varicella. In certain cases, long-term pain and hyperhidrosis have been noted. Appearance of herpes zoster during pregnancy is infrequent.
