Congenital factor VII deficiency is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder and surgery in patients with factor VII deficiency has been reported to be endangered by intraoperative or postoperative bleeding, unless a replacement therapy is used. In this paper, we report a successful prophylaxis with single and low dose rFVIIa (12.5 microg kg(-1)) in a 22-year-old homozygote factor VII deficient patient who underwent laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. Minimally invasive surgeries, such as laparoscopic surgery, could be safely performed in patients with congenital factor VII using single and low dose rFVIIa combined with vigilant clinical observation and laboratory examination.

Congenital factor VII (FVII) deficiency is a rare coagulation disorder that increases the risk of bleeding complications during surgery. Although laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is the most common metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS), it is rarely performed in patients with congenital coagulation disorders such as FVII deficiency, due to the high risk of intraoperative and postoperative bleeding. We report the case of a 57-year-old female with class II obesity (BMI 37.

Background: Congenital factor VII (FVII) deficiency is a genetic disorder characterized by decreased FVII activity, which sometimes leads to fatal bleeding. Numerous variants have been found in FVII deficiency, but mutations vary among patients. Each mutation deserves further exploration for each patient at risk of bleeding.

Bleeding assessment tools (BATs) are used by trained medical personnel for screening bleeding disorders on a one-to-one basis with patients; hence, they are time-consuming and limited in use for large-population screening. The aims of the study were to develop, validate, and demonstrate a Thai BAT mobile application (mBAT) for self-screening of bleeding disorders. mBAT was developed and validated using the paper-based Thai version of pediatric bleeding questionnaire (TPBQ).

Background And Aims: Postoperative recurrence requiring medical treatment intensification or redo-surgery is common after ileocolic resection (ICR) for Crohn's disease (CD). This study aimed to identify a subgroup of CD patients for whom ICR could achieve durable remission.
Methods: This retrospective follow-up study analyzed 592 CD patients who underwent ICR (2013-2015) in a nationwide prospective cohort.
