Matrix lithiasis within the bladder is an extremely rare and diagnostically challenging condition, characterized by its atypical presentation and complex imaging appearance. We report the case of a 69-year-old woman with nonspecific urinary symptoms, including hematuria and abdominal pain. Initial ultrasonography revealed an echogenic lesion on the bladder wall, leading to further investigations using computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Unlabelled: At our institution, multimodal opiate-sparing pain management is the cornerstone of our enhanced recovery program for autologous breast reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to compare postoperative outcomes and pain control metrics following implementation of an enhanced recovery program with two different regional analgesia approaches.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study identified 145 women who underwent autologous breast reconstruction from 2015 to 2017.

Perioperative hypertension is a common occurrence in the neurosurgical population, where 60% to 90% of the patients require treatment for blood pressure (BP) control. Nicardipine and clevidipine have been commonly used in neurocritical settings. This retrospective, observational study assessed the effectivity of the administration of clevidipine after nicardipine treatment failure in neurosurgical patients.

Objective: The authors aimed to evaluate the incidence of myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS), its relationship with perioperative variables, and its prognostic implications for 30-day mortality in high-risk thoracic surgery patients.

Design: Observational study including cardiovascular high-risk patients undergoing routine postoperative troponin monitoring during the first 2 postoperative days. MINS was diagnosed based on at least 1 troponin I determination ≥0.

Despite advances in perioperative care, short-term and long-term postoperative complications are still experienced by many patients, which is of special relevance to the older adult population, considered to be high-risk surgical candidates because of less functional reserve and comorbidity burden. Through the implementation of prehabilitation programs, patients can be optimized to handle the physical and mental stress of surgery. Benefits have been described in a variety of surgical populations, but more studies targeting older surgical patients are needed.

Postoperative recovery is a complex process with several interrelated domains. Traditionally, the absence of negative physiological symptoms like nausea and pain, along with avoidance of major postoperative complications, has been the standard set by clinicians and hospitals for a satisfactory postoperative recovery. Nonetheless, evidence from recent studies reports these items to be the least important from the patient point of view.
