- * Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is another condition characterized by excessive trabeculation in the left ventricle, commonly found in about 5% of the population and usually benign, but can sometimes cause heart function problems or lead to blood clots.

Introduction: As the number of elderly patients requiring surgical intervention rises, it is believed that frailty syndrome has a greater impact on perioperative course than on chronological age. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of various imaging features for frailty assessment in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy.
Methods: The study included all patients that qualified for emergency surgery with preoperative CT scans between 2016 and 2020 in the Second Department of General Surgery.
Background: Thyroidectomy carries a risk of two crucial complications - recurrent nerve palsy and hypocalcaemia. The aim of the study was to assess the safety of thyroidectomy performed by general surgery residents.
Methods: Data of 515 patients, who underwent total thyroidectomy between the years 2015 and 2019, were prospectively collected.
