Study Objective: To determine perioperative complication rates at primary and repeat endometrial ablations.
Design: Prospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).
Setting: Tertiary care teaching hospital.
Patients: Seventy-five women who underwent a repeat ablation and 800 who had a primary ablation by the same surgeon (GAV) between 1990 and 2000 for a diagnosis of menorrhagia and/or dysmenorrhea.
Interventions: Hysteroscopic ablation involving coagulation or resection of endometrium, and second ablation after failure of the first.
Measurements And Main Results: Serious perioperative complications were uterine perforation, hemorrhage, excess fluid absorption, and genital tract burns. They occurred in 9.3% of repeat ablations compared with 2.05% of primary ablations (p = 0.006).
Conclusion: Repeat endometrial ablation has a significantly higher rate of perioperative complications than primary ablation.

Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Sacrohysteropexy with Autologous Fascia Lata.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Autologous fascia lata has been increasingly utilised in pelvic floor reconstructive surgeries such as sacrocolpopexy and sacrohysteropexy. This case highlights sacrohysteropexy with autologous fascia lata as a promising option for women with advanced uterovaginal prolapse who wish to preserve their uterus and avoid synthetic mesh.
Methods: We report the case of a 65-year-old woman with stage 3 pelvic organ prolapse following one forceps and one spontaneous vaginal delivery.

Excessive consumption of nicotine and alcohol has been proven to effect the organ system. Both stimulants are consumed in the population to a not insignificant extent. The question therefore arises as to what effect the consumption of nicotine and alcohol has on the complication rates and to what extent this should be reduced or stopped before performing a joint arthroplasty? A literature search was carried out to answer these questions.

Objective: Early detection of surgical complications allows for timely therapy and proactive risk mitigation. Machine learning (ML) can be leveraged to identify and predict patient risks for postoperative complications. We developed and validated the effectiveness of predicting postoperative complications using a novel surgical Variational Autoencoder (surgVAE) that uncovers intrinsic patterns via cross-task and cross-cohort presentation learning.

BACKGROUND Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt surgery is a widely used procedure for managing hydrocephalus; however, postoperative infections remain a serious complication, increasing morbidity and mortality. Known risk factors include prior surgeries, steroid use, and concurrent procedures. However, the role of liver cirrhosis, a condition that compromises immune function and predisposes patients to infections, has not been fully investigated in the context of neurosurgery.

Background: Lung transplantation is a viable lifesaving option for patients with diffuse pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). We present a case of diffuse pulmonary AVMs associated with juvenile polyposis and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (JP-HHT) that was successfully managed by lung transplantation.
Case Presentation: A 19-year-old woman developed severe hypoxemia due to pulmonary AVMs diagnosed at 4 years of age.
