Severe Complications of Uterine Dehiscence Post-Lower Segment Cesarean Section: A Case Report Emphasizing the Importance of Timely Diagnosis and Intervention.

BACKGROUND Uterine dehiscence, an infrequent event often mistaken for uterine rupture, is rarely linked to post-cesarean section procedures and can result in severe complications, notably puerperal sepsis. In this report, we present a case that exemplifies the onset of puerperal sepsis and the emergence of intra-abdominal abscesses attributed to uterine dehiscence following a lower segment cesarean section (LSCS). CASE REPORT Our patient, a 28-year-old woman in her third pregnancy, underwent LSCS 1 week earlier.

Diagnostic Accuracy and Safety Between two Needle Sizes in Percutaneous Trans-Thoracic Biopsy for the Evaluation of Pulmonary Lesions.

Background: Percutaneous trans-thoracic lung biopsy has a crucial role in diagnosing lung lesions including lung cancer. However, there is no clear guideline regarding the needle size in percutaneous trans-thoracic lung biopsy. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and complication rate between two needle sizes for percutaneous trans-thoracic lung biopsy.

Cone-beam computed tomography-assisted percutaneous gastrostomy tube insertion in children with challenging anatomy.

Background: Percutaneous radiological gastrostomy tube insertion is a common procedure in children. An approach using ultrasound and fluoroscopy may not be feasible in patients with challenging anatomy; therefore, advanced techniques or other imaging modalities may be required.

Objective: To describe our experience using cone-beam computed tomography (CT)-assisted percutaneous gastrostomy insertion in pediatric patients with challenging anatomy.

Biliary complications and efficacy after ablation of peribiliary tumors using irreversible electroporation (IRE) or radiofrequency ablation (RFA).

Objective: To evaluate the biliary complication rates and efficacy of peribiliary tumor ablation using irreversible electroporation (IRE) or radiofrequency ablation (RFA).

Material And Methods: This is a retrospective study of 42 consecutive patients with 44 peribiliary tumors (≤5 mm distance between the tumor margin and the primary or secondary bile duct). Data were collected between January 2014 and September 2020 from patients who underwent percutaneous liver ablation using IRE ( = 13) or RFA ( = 31).
