Safety of perioperative intravenous lidocaine in liver surgery - A pilot study.

Background And Aims: Perioperative lidocaine infusion has many interesting properties such as analgesic effects in the context of enhanced recovery after surgery. However, its use is limited in liver surgery due to its hepatic metabolism.

Material And Methods: This prospective, monocentric study was conducted from 2020 to 2021.

Influence of Hemorrhagic Complications of Pancreatoduodenectomy in Patients with Cancer on Short- and Long-Term Mortality.

Background: With a mortality rate of up to 30%, post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) remains a serious complication after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for cancer. Little is known about the long-term survival of patients after PPH. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the impact of PPH on long-term survival after PD.

Is laparoscopic bariatric surgery as safe and effective before and after age 60? Results from a propensity-score analysis.

Background: Patients over 60 years old undergoing bariatric surgery is still increasing.

Objectives: First, to assess the impact of age (>60 years) on the 90-day morbidity and mortality of both laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), and second, to determine the effectiveness of surgical weight loss and resolution of obesity-related comorbidities for patients 60 years of age and older over a 2-year period.

Setting: Bicentric study from University Hospital of Caen and Memorial Hospital of Saint Lô, France.

Development of the "OS-SEV90 Score" to Predict Severe Postoperative Complications at 90 Days Following Bariatric Surgery.

Background: Bariatric surgery may be associated with severe postoperative complications (SPC). Factors associated with the risk of SPC have not been fully investigated.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify preoperative risk factors of SPC within 90 days and to develop a risk prediction model based on these factors.

Investigation of Serratia marcescens surgical site infection outbreak associated with peroperative ultrasonography probe.

Early postoperative infections due to Serratia marcescens have been reported by both clinicians and microbiologists in our teaching hospital. Here, we present an interlinked clinical, epidemiological, environmental and genomic investigation of this outbreak due to a T-shaped intraoperative probe contaminated by S. marcescens used during peroperative ultrasonography in laparoscopic liver resection.
