Early outcomes of open anterior versus posterior components separation with transversus abdominis release for large median incisional hernias: a retrospective stepwise analysis.

Background: Complex incisional hernia is still a debatable topic, with increasing incidence and an increased local and systemic postoperative morbidity and mortality. The size of the defect is a risk factor for both difficult closure and 30-day readmission due to complications. The main option for closure such defect is a mesh augmented component separation technique.

Airway Ultrasound for Anesthesia and in Intensive Care Patients-A Narrative Review of the Literature.

Ultrasound is an everyday diagnostic tool. In anesthesia and intensive care, it has a role as an adjuvant for many procedures, including the evaluation of the airway. Ultrasound airway evaluation can help predict a difficult airway, visualize the proper positioning of an intubation cannula, or evaluate the airway post-intubation.

Cardio Protective Effects of Lipid Emulsion against Ropivacaine-Induced Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity-An Experimental Study.

Inadvertent intravascular injection of local anesthetics (LA) during regional anesthesia causes Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST). Theories of lipid rescue in the case of LAST proved that the administration of lipids in LAST has beneficial effects. One possible mechanism of action is based on the lipophilic properties of LA which allow plasma-free LA to be bound by the molecules of Lipid Emulsion (LE).

Clinical-Pathological Correlations in the Acute Surgical Abdomen in the Pre and Post-Pandemic Period Covid-19.

In the case of patients admitted with acute abdomen at the emergency department, interstitial pulmonary pathology (Covid-19 infections) represents a significant operative risk for the patients. The rate of postoperative complications is high with increased morbidity and mortality, a real challenge for the medical staff and surgical/intensive care unit teams. In emergency settings, patients were examined with targeted clinical and paraclinical parameters that assure a fast diagnosis to optimize a rapid medical and surgical treatment.

Prognosis Evaluation for Patients with Abdominal Trauma Using Usual Biological Parameters.

Unlabelled: Abdominal injuries are responsible for approximately 20% of all post-traumatic deaths, 45-50% of which occurring in the first 60 minutes. Currently there are several prediction scores for the evolution of these patients, which take into account degrees of anatomical lesion, clinical signs and imaging and paraclinical explorations.

Aim: The aim of the study was to develop a scoring system to predict mortality in patients with abdominal trauma by using the usual biological parameters.

Anterior Transabdominal Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy, without Ligatures, for a Symptomatic Right Adrenal Myelolipoma with Intratumoral Hemorrhage.

Myelolipomas represent 3-7% fromthe primary tumors of the adrenal gland. Most often they are incidental findings. In most cases are asymptomatic, rarely they present symptoms (pain, abdominal discomfort, hematuria or signs of internal hemorrhage).

Histological and immunohistochemical study on sentinel lymph node in colorectal cancer - values and limitations.

Colorectal cancer is currently one of the most common malignancies in both men and women. Surgical resection remains the essential element in the local control of the disease but the development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic tools can enhance the results of radical surgery. The indication for adjuvant treatment majorly depends on a correct pathological assessment of the surgical specimen - a correct pTNM staging.

A nonfunctional neuroendocrine tumor of the pancreas - a case report.

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) represent about 1-5% of the pancreatic tumors, having an annual incidence of about 1/100 000, with difficult positive and differential diagnostic, especially in nonfunctioning tumors. We present a case of large dimensions (10/8 cm) pancreatic tail NET developed in a 65-year-old woman, incidentally discovered while she was examined for a strangled inguinal hernia. The patient had no specific tumor signs and the imagistic examination did not reveal any metastases.
