Article Synopsis
- Pneumomediastinum, often occurring silently post-trauma, complicates diagnoses especially when paired with other conditions like pneumothorax and pneumoperitoneum, largely due to the Macklin effect where air escapes from ruptured alveoli.
- An 18-year-old male involved in a car crash was found with severe pneumothorax and subcutaneous emphysema but showed no signs of significant esophageal or bronchial injury upon further evaluation.
- Despite alarming initial imaging, the patient's treatment was conservative, allowing for a gradual healing process and eventual discharge without complications, illustrating the need for careful assessment in trauma management.
Purpose: To compare the indicators, postoperative pneumoretroperitoneum-related complications, and postoperative recovery of laparoscopic preperitoneal inguinal hernia repair under different CO2 pneumoperitoneum pressures.
Methods: The total of 187 adult patients with primary inguinal hernia who successfully underwent transabdominal preperitoneal prosthesis (TAPP) from September 2021 to September 2023 in the Department of General Surgery, Haimen People's Hospital affiliated to Nantong University, were collected. These patients were randomly divided into low abdominal pressure group (group A: pneumoperitoneum pressure = 8 mmHg), sub-low abdominal pressure group (group B: pneumoperitoneum pressure = 10 mmHg), moderate abdominal pressure group (group C: pneumoperitoneum pressure = 12 mmHg), and standard pressure group (group D: pneumoperitoneum pressure = 14 mmHg), with 40 patients each.

Article Synopsis
- Aim: The study investigates how cystatin C levels change in patients after laparoscopic and retroperitoneoscopic procedures involving retroperitoneal organs.
- Methods: It involved 162 patients with renal cysts who were categorized based on procedure duration and gas levels, using flow cytometry to measure cystatin C in serum and urine.
- Results: Elevated cystatin C levels were observed after laparoscopic procedures with higher gas pressures; levels returned to normal by day 3, highlighting gas pressure and procedure duration as key risk factors for kidney injury.
