Effectiveness of Intraoperative Ketorolac in Outpatient Breast Surgery: A Double-blinded Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: The use of nonnarcotic analgesics, such as ketorolac, has been shown to reduce postoperative pain and opioid consumption. This double-blinded randomized trial is designed to assess the efficacy of intraoperative ketorolac in reducing postoperative narcotic use in outpatient breast reconstruction and reduction procedures.

Methods: This study is a prospective double-blinded randomized controlled trial.

Laparoscopic adrenalectomy of pheochromocytoma following management of severe aortic stenosis with transcatheter aortic valve replacement under monitored anesthesia care sedation: a case report.

Background: Management of a patient with an active pheochromocytoma and severe aortic stenosis remains controversial. Adrenalectomy for a pheochromocytoma poses a high risk for stroke, hypertensive emergency, and mortality, compounded by the cardiovascular instability of severe aortic stenosis. In this case report, successful management of an active pheochromocytoma with concomitant severe aortic stenosis was accomplished by performing transcatheter aortic valve replacement under monitored anesthesia care prior to laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
