Blind insertion of the Veress needle and/or the first trocar is one of the most frequent causes of laparoscopic surgery complications. Nevertheless, the closed technique is still more preferred than the open one. The Authors retrospectively analyzed 1006 consecutive laparoscopic procedures in which Hasson's technique was routinely utilized. The overall complication rate was 2.2%, but the vast majority of complications occurred during the learning curve (6% vs. 1.9%). The Authors conclude that after the first 50 cases the open technique is a quick and safe procedure.

Comparison of Outcomes of Deep Sclerectomy, Canaloplasty, and Viscocanaloplasty: A Multi-Centred Study.
J Glaucoma
January 2025
Ophthalmology Unit, University Hospital Maggiore della Carità, Novara, Italy.
Prcis: Deep sclerectomy (DS) and canaloplasty provide better intraocular pressure (IOP) control than viscocanalostomy. DS required less glaucoma medications but more interventions to reach target IOP.
Purpose: To compare real-world outcomes of three non-penetrating glaucoma surgery (NPGS) techniques.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of diet supplementation with a symbiotic (SY), bee pollen (BP), honey bee (HB), date palm pollen (DPP) and their mixture (MIX) on female rabbit productive and reproductive performances under desert hot climates. Seventy-two Californian does of 5 months age and average body weight of 3250 ± 78.2 g were randomly allotted into six groups, each of 12 does.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how different pain management techniques—intrathecal morphine (ITM), adductor canal block (ACB), and their combination—affect recovery after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA).
- It analyzed data from 1006 patients to assess pain levels, mobility times, and hospital stay lengths based on the type of analgesia received.
- Results showed that the combination of ITM and ACB led to better pain control, reduced opioid use, and faster mobilization compared to using either method alone.
Structured training pathway for robotic colorectal surgery: Short-term outcomes from five UK centres.
Colorectal Dis
November 2024
Champalimaud Foundation, Champalimaud Clinical Center, Lisbon, Portugal.
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the short-term outcomes of robotic colorectal surgery implemented through a structured, standardized training pathway in five colorectal centres in the United Kingdom.
Method: A multicentre retrospective observational study was conducted, involving 523 consecutive patients who underwent robotic colorectal resection between 2015 and 2019. All participating centres followed the European Academy of Robotic Colorectal Surgery training pathway.
Heroin or fentanyl: Prevalence of confirmed fentanyl in ED patients with suspected heroin overdose.
J Am Coll Emerg Physicians Open
August 2024
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Center for Research on Emerging Substances Poisoning, Overdose, and New Discoveries (RESPOND) NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst New York New York USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed emergency department patients with documented heroin overdoses to determine the presence of fentanyl and its analogs.
- Findings revealed that 88% of those who claimed to have used heroin had fentanyl or a fentanyl analog in their system, while only 27% actually had heroin detected.
- The results indicate a significant discrepancy between the opioids patients thought they were using and what was actually found, suggesting that clinicians should assume fentanyl involvement in all opioid overdoses.
