Survival of a hemodynamically unstable pediatric liver trauma patient with aortic balloon occlusion catheter during air transport: A case report.

Background: The utility of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in children remains unclear.

Case Presentation: An 11-year-old patient with liver trauma with massive extravasation was transported to a local hospital, where an emergency trauma surgery was unavailable. Following the placement of REBOA as a bridge to hemostasis, she was transferred to our hospital by a firefighting helicopter with balloon occlusion.

Intraoperative techniques to prevent deep incisional or organ-space surgical site infection after emergency surgery for nonappendiceal perforation peritonitis: a prospective two-center observational study.

Purpose: The rate of surgical site infection (SSI) after surgery for secondary peritonitis is very high. This study investigated the relationship between intraoperative procedures of emergency surgery for nonappendiceal perforation peritonitis and deep incisional or organ-space SSI.

Methods: This prospective, two-center observational study included patients aged ≥ 20 years who underwent emergency surgery for perforation peritonitis between April 2017 and March 2020.

Is damage control surgery useful in the treatment of colorectal perforation? A single-center case-control study.

Unlabelled: Colorectal perforation with systemic peritonitis requires prompt surgical attention, and damage control surgery (DCS) is performed in patients with severe injuries. This study aimed to retrospectively investigate the efficacy of DCS in patients with colonic perforation.

Materials And Methods: From January 2013 to December 2019, 131 patients with colorectal perforation underwent emergency surgery at our hospital.

Life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding from splenic artery pseudoaneurysm due to gastric ulcer penetration treated by surgical hemostasis with resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta: A case report.

We report the case of a patient for whom surgical hemostasis of gastrointestinal bleeding due to a splenic artery pseudoaneurysm, which developed due to gastric ulcer penetration, was achieved with resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta without ischemia of organs including the spleen.

Prediction of early acute kidney injury after trauma using prehospital systolic blood pressure and lactate levels: A prospective validation study.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) after trauma is a major complication independently associated with a prolonged hospital stay and increased mortality. We previously reported that the prehospital systolic blood pressure (SBP) and early hospital arterial lactate level, along with specific cut-off values, show good performance in the early prediction of AKI using AUC-ROC [1]. The purpose of this study was to prospectively validate whether or not these parameters are predictive of newly occurring AKI after trauma.

Prehospital Blood Pressure and Lactate are Early Predictors of Acute Kidney Injury After Trauma.

Background: The purpose of this study is to report the prevalence of acute kidney injury (AKI) after trauma in our center, describe the risk factors associated with AKI, and determine whether these risk factors help avoid AKI.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data which were prospectively collected from a single center trauma registry from January 2017 to December 2018. Patients who were <16 years of age, patients with burns, and patients with chronic kidney disease were excluded from the present study.

Is open abdominal management useful in nontrauma emergency surgery for older adults? A single-center retrospective study.

Purpose: Open abdominal management (OAM) is being adopted increasingly frequently in nontrauma patients. This study assessed the effectiveness of OAM in nontrauma older adults.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all adults who underwent nontrauma emergency laparotomy requiring postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) management between September 2012 and August 2017 at our hospital.

Surgical intervention for blunt bowel and mesenteric injury: indications and time intervals.

Purpose: Decision making in management of blunt bowel and mesenteric injury (BBMI) is difficult. This study aimed to identify indicators for laparotomy and appropriate time intervals to surgery.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our hospital's trauma registry to identify patients with a diagnosis of BBMI from February 2011 to July 2017.

Short- and long-term outcomes after pancreaticoduodenectomy following total gastorectomy: Report of case series and literature review.

Purpose: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) following gastrectomy (TG) should be considered challenging even currently although its procedure and clinical value have been being standardized. Short- and long-term outcomes as well as standard reconstruction method following these procedures remain unclear. In order to clarify these issues, we reviewed worldwide English literature and 4 of our own cases of PD for patients with previous TG.

Pancreaticoduodenectomy following total gastrectomy: a case report and literature review.

We present a case of afferent loop syndrome (ALS) occurring after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) in a patient who had previously undergone total gastrectomy (TG), and review the English-language literature concerning reconstruction procedures following PD in patients who had undergone TG. The patient was a 69-year-old man who had undergone TG reconstruction by a Roux-en-Y method at age 58 years. The patient underwent PD for pancreas head adenocarcinoma.
