Objectives: The goal of this study was to quantify left ventricular (LV) function with automated 3-dimensional volume segmentation by 64-slice computed tomography (CT) in patients undergoing totally endoscopic coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Methods: We used 64-multidetector CT coronary angiography to examine 63 patients with >70% coronary stenosis who were undergoing totally endoscopic CABG for single-vessel disease (left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending coronary artery) or multivessel disease with the da Vinci robotic surgical device (arrested heart approach). CT measurements were compared with cineventriculography results in 20 patients.
Results: The intraobserver variability values for the end-systolic volume (ESV) and the end-diastolic volume (EDV) were excellent (7.2% and 5.2%, respectively). Bland-Altman plots showed good upper and lower limits of agreement (ESV, +9% and -3.3%, respectively; EDV, +17% and -5.9%). Intraobserver variability for the LV ejection fraction (LVEF) was 4.8% with narrow limits of agreement (+7.8%, -2.2%). The mean postprocessing time was 6.5 minutes. Mean values (+/-SD) were 62.7% +/- 12% (range, 23%-86%) for LVEF, 98.4 mL +/- 29 mL for EDV, and 38.3 mL +/- 23 mL for ESV. The LVEF obtained via CT was moderately but significantly correlated with the invasive cineventriculogram (r = 0.51; P = .02; limits of agreement, +18.7% and -18.4%).
Conclusion: . Through the use of automated LV volume segmentation, 64-slice CT permits fast quantification of LV function in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing totally endoscopic CABG grafting, enabling a comprehensive evaluation of coronary arteries and bypass grafts.

Purpose: While surgeons agree that perioperative field blocks should be performed for open inguinal hernia surgery, there lacks consensus in the minimally invasive context. Prior small-scale randomized trials study pain scores only up to 24 h postoperatively. Thus, we sought to investigate the analgesic benefits of a bupivacaine transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block in the first 4 postoperative days.

Background: Hand-sewn Kono-S anastomosis is safe and associated with a reduction in post-operative recurrence (POR) in Crohn's disease (CD). The study aims to investigate the advantages of stapled Kono-S in Crohn's patients with intestinal anastomosis.
Methods: Crohn's patients undergoing intestinal anastomosis were reviewed via a prospectively maintained database.
Prediction of post-insertion infections related to totally implantable subcutaneous venous access ports in tumor patients using a nomogram.

Totally implantable subcutaneous venous access ports (TISVAPs) are essential for long-term central venous chemotherapy, delivering medication directly into the central veins of patients. While they play a critical role in reducing patient discomfort, TISVAPs pose a notable risk of post-insertion infections-particularly concerning for oncology patients with compromised immune systems due to aggressive treatment regimens. Our research addresses this issue by developing a predictive nomogram to estimate the risk of TISVAP-associated infections.
