Perioperative factors associated with persistent postsurgical pain after hysterectomy, cesarean section, prostatectomy, and donor nephrectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Persistent postsurgical pain (PPSP) is a common and often disabling postoperative morbidity, but many questions remain about factors associated with PPSP. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to identify preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative factors associated with PPSP after gynecological surgeries, namely, hysterectomy and cesarean section, and urological surgeries, namely, prostatectomy and donor nephrectomy. Overall, 18 gynecological surgery studies, 4 prostatectomy studies, and 2 donor nephrectomy studies met the review criteria, providing data that could be meta-analyzed.

Evaluation of Mannheim's Peritonitis Index in Prediction of Mortality in Patients with Non-traumatic Hollow Viscus Perforation Peritonitis.

Background: Hollow viscus perforation peritonitis is one of the commonest surgical emergencies with high mortality and morbidity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Mannheim's peritonitis index in prediction of mortality in these patients.

Methods: This is a retrospective, observational cohort study in these patients managed in a single-center from January 1, 2013 to December 30, 2019.
