An unusual case of acute intestinal obstruction following a PPH stapled haemorrhoidectomy is reported: the complication was due to an almost complete interruption of the rectal lumen tightened by a purse-string suture anchored by staples. The stricture was dilated and the suture released thus restoring intestinal continuity. Surgeons should be aware that such troublesome complication may occur and can be treated successfully by a transanal approach.

Goal-oriented preoperative biliary drainage is more precise and conducive to seize the opportunity for pancreaticoduodenectomy.
World J Surg Oncol
December 2024
Department of General Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China.
Background: Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) for selected patients with severe juandice has been shown to improve clinical conditions for pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and reduce the risk of post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH). However, the determination of an optimal end-point for PBD remains unclear. The aim of this research is to introduce the concept of goal-oriented biliary drainage, which may serve as a reasonable target and identify the optimal surgery time window.

HEOA Group, West China School of Public Health and West China Fourth Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (ACSCs) refer to hospital encounters that could potentially be prevented with improved primary care. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) as one of the typical ACSCs, and its hospitalization is considered potentially preventable through the quality primary care. However, the literature on factors influencing Potentially Preventable Hospitalization (PPH) has rarely been conducted from the patient perspective, especially in China.

Department of General Surgery, Fujian Medical University Union Hospital, Fuzhou, Fujian, People's Republic of China.
Background: Clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF) is a common postoperative complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and is associated with severe complications. Drainage is an effective method to treat POPF and prevent POPF-related complications. However, controversy still exists about whether different drainage methods reduce the incidence or the severity of POPF after PD.

Department of Anesthesiology, Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital, School of Medicine, Tongji University, Shanghai, 200092, China.
Background: Post-partum hemorrhage (PPH) is a leading cause of maternal death worldwide. However, the effect of blood transfusion in patients undergoing cesarean section remains unclear.
Materials And Methods: The analysis was based on the retrospective evaluation of the pre- and post-operative data for 1231 patients who underwent a cesarean section at our hospital between January 2016 and June 2020.
Background: Obstructed labour, a sequel of prolonged labour, remains a significant contributor to maternal and perinatal deaths in low- and middle-income countries.
Objective: We evaluated the modified World Health Organization (WHO) Labour Care Guide (LCG) in detecting prolonged and or obstructed labour, and other delivery outcomes compared with a traditional partograph at publicly-funded maternity centers of rural Mbarara district and City, Southwestern Uganda.
Methods: Since November 2023, we deployed the LCG for use in monitoring labour by trained healthcare providers across all maternity centers in Mbarara district/City.
