Background: The selection of the cannulation site for elective aortic surgery is mostly an individual choice based on the surgeon's experience and the surgical strategy. We evaluated the long-term outcomes of right common carotid artery (CCA) cannulation using a side graft to establish unilateral selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (uSACP).
Methods: We reviewed the records of 343 patients who underwent elective ascending aortic or aortic arch surgery between 2013 and 2020.

Background: This study investigates the incidence and risk factors for urinary retention during and after labor in women receiving programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB) analgesia and evaluates the optimal bladder management strategy.
Methods: This prospective observational study assessed urinary retention during voiding attempts every two to three hours during labor and postpartum, among women with labor epidural analgesia using PIEB. Urinary retention was defined as a post-void residual volume >150 mL, determined by catheterization after spontaneous voiding.

Iatrogenic urethral-rectal perforation represents a rare but severe complication arising from medical interventions, notably highlighted in the context of Foley catheter insertion. This case report outlines the presentation, diagnosis, management, and outcomes of a 71-year-old male patient who experienced iatrogenic rectal perforation during the routine insertion of a Foley catheter, against the backdrop of several predisposing factors, such as atrial fibrillation, valvular disease, benign prostatic hyperplasia, urethral stenosis, and colorectal cancer with liver metastasis. The inadvertent creation of a rectourethral fistula during the procedure led to an urgent multidisciplinary approach involving surgery and postoperative management, including fecal and urine diversion and antibiotic therapy.
