The aim of this study was to compare total and subtotal abdominal hysterectomy for benign indications, with regard to urinary incontinence, postoperative complications, quality of life (SF-36), constipation, prolapse, satisfaction with sexual life, and pelvic pain at 1-year postoperative. Eighty women chose total and 105 women chose subtotal abdominal hysterectomy. No significant differences were found between the 2 operation methods in any of the outcome measures at 12 months. Fourteen women (15%) from the subtotal abdominal hysterectomy group experienced vaginal bleeding and three women had their cervix removed.

Calciphylaxis is a rare and serious disorder almost exclusively seen in patients on dialysis or those with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) not on dialysis and is associated with very high mortality. We present the case of a 50-year-old male with a background of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) compliant with dialysis, parathyroid adenoma, secondary hyperparathyroidism, and high body mass index (BMI). Whilst receiving 31 doses of intravenous sodium thiosulphate (STS) over an 11-week period, the patient underwent surgical debridement of multiple painful ulcerative lesions in his lower abdomen and left thigh and then subsequently a subtotal parathyroidectomy at 70 days from admission.

Schwannomas commonly occur in the head and neck region but are rarely seen in the gastrointestinal tract; the stomach and small intestine are the most commonly involved sites. These tumors are usually misdiagnosed as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) before histopathological confirmation due to radiological similarity. GI schwannomas show positivity for S100 protein and vimentin but are negative for CD 117 and CD 34, which helps in differentiating the tumor from GISTs.
