In thoracoplasty for isolated funnel-shaped deformity of the chest in children, the main anesthesiologic complications which develop are the following: delayed restoration of muscular tonicity and adequate respiration and disorders in cardiac rhythm. At the postoperative period, the complications, are mainly caused by injury to parietal pleura at intervention. The pulmonary, cardiac, gastroenterologic and hemorrhagic complications were observed less often.

Backgroud: Hypoparathyroidism (hypoPT) is characterized by acute and chronic complications due to insufficient parathyroid hormone (PTH) production or action. Several management guidelines have been developed, but mostly based on evidence from Western countries. Data from Eastern countries have not been systematically compared with those from Western countries.

Background: Anterior column realignment (ACR), using a lateral lumbar or thoracic interbody fusion (LLIF) approach to release the anterior longitudinal ligament (ALL), is a powerful technique to increase segmental lordosis. We here report our experience with the use of expandible LLIF cages for ACR.
Methods: Retrospective, single-center observational cohort study including consecutive patients treated by LLIF using an expandible interbody implant.

We describe the case of a 72-year-old male suffering from Marfan syndrome, who, because of cardiac abnormalities correlated to the syndrome, received an orthotopic heart transplant four years ago. In 2024, he was diagnosed with right colon cancer. The decision to operate was difficult because of the elevated perioperative risk.

Article Synopsis
- Hemodynamic instability and inappropriate postoperative pain perception (IPPP) pose significant challenges in managing patients undergoing elective open lumbar aortic aneurysm repair under general anesthesia, with inadequate opioid use risking adverse events.
- In a study involving 75 patients, three types of postoperative analgesia were tested: thoracic epidural anesthesia with ropivacaine, thoracic epidural with bupivacaine, and intravenous metamizole/tramadol, with the impact on pain levels and hemodynamic stability measured.
- Results showed that nearly half of the patients still experienced IPPP despite preventive measures, and while no acute pain was reported in the ropivacaine group, this was associated with noticeable hemodynamic instability; however

Acromegaly and gigantism are rare diseases, usually caused by a growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma, recently renamed GH-secreting pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (GH-PitNET). The transsphenoidal approach is the mainstay of treatment, although a non-negligible number of patients require a multimodal approach with neo-adjuvant or adjuvant medical and radiation therapy. Understanding the clinical complexity of acromegaly and gigantism is essential to improve treatment safety and success.
