Hip Instability in Children With Spinal Muscular Atrophy: A Retrospective Study.

Purpose: Hip subluxation and dislocation are known problems for children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Medical complexity of these children typically results in absence of monitoring and intervention for pathologic hips. Patterns of hip migration and acetabular morphology in SMA have not been described.

Effect of split posterior tibialis tendon transfer on foot progression angle in children with cerebral palsy.

Objectives: A common orthopedic issue for patients with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) is hindfoot varus deformity. One method of treatment is the split posterior tibialis tendon transfer (SPOTT). There is limited literature on the effect of SPOTT on foot progression angle (FPA) in children with CP who have equinovarus deformities.

Same-day discharge robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy: feasibility, safety and patient experience.

Objectives: To report a single centre's experience of the feasibility, safety and patient acceptability of same-day discharge robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP).

Subjects/patients And Methods: Between June 2015 and December 2021, a total of 180 pre-selected consecutive patients underwent RALP with the intention to discharge on the same day as surgery. Cases were performed by two surgeons.

The impact of baseline F-FDG PET-CT on the management and outcome of patients with gastric cancer: a systematic review.

Objective: CT and staging laparoscopy are routinely used to stage patients with gastric cancer, however the role of F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) combined with CT (PET-CT) is uncertain. This systematic review synthesised the evidence regarding the impact of baseline PET-CT staging on treatment decisions and patient outcomes.

Methods: Systematic database searches were performed without date restriction.

Jaundice and a testicular lump: a rare cause of malignant biliary obstruction.

Biliary obstruction from metastatic deposits in the pancreas is rare. We present a case of primary testicular lymphoma (PTL) with pancreatic metastasis. A 56-year-old man presented to the general surgical department with signs and symptoms of obstructive jaundice.
