Accuracy of Outsourced Radiology Reports in Emergency Surgical Care: Do They Provide a High-Quality, Cost-Effective Service?

Background Computed tomography (CT) scans play a crucial role in emergency surgical care, serving both diagnostic and prognostic functions. They significantly contribute to timely and effective patient care. This study aims to compare abdominal CT scan reports prepared by locally employed radiologists with those from outsourced radiology reporting services for patients presenting with acute surgical conditions.

Urinary Retention After GreenLight Laser Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate (GLL.PVP) Surgery for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): A 3-6 Month Retrospective Follow-Up Study.

Objective Our study was designed to evaluate the postoperative urinary retention (UR) and success rate of the GreenLight Laser (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA) photoselective vaporization of the prostate (GLL.PVP) procedure for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) patients, both with and without high-risk factors. Methodology We conducted a retrospective follow-up study of postoperative patients who underwent GLL.

Idiopathic Spontaneous Intraperitoneal Haemorrhage (ISIH): A Diagnostic Dilemma and Its Conservative Management.

Idiopathic spontaneous intraperitoneal haemorrhage (ISIH) is a rare cause of acute abdominal pain. It refers to haemoperitoneum resulting from the rupture of an intra-abdominal vessel without the preceding trauma or underlying pathology. Here, we present the case of a 17-year-old boy with acute abdominal pain.

Perianal Endometriosis: An Uncommon Site for a Common Problem.

Endometriosis is the presence of uterine glands and stroma outside of the uterus. It is highly prevalent in women of reproductive age. It is usually found in the pelvis, with most cases being found on the peritoneum, ovaries, or deep in the pelvis.

Insulinoma: an uncommon cause of delirium.

We present the case of an 83-year-old woman with recurrent episodes of delirium occurring overnight, associated with hypoglycaemia. Other causes for delirium were excluded. Laboratory findings were in keeping with endogenous insulin production.
