Endovascular treatment of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms is associated with decreased morbidity and mortality when compared to the open surgical approach, yet, there are several fundamental obstacles to our ability to offer these endovascular techniques to many patients with ruptured aneurysms. This article will focus on the technical aspects of endovascular aneurysm repair for rupture aneurysms, with particular attention on developing a standardized multidisciplinary approach that will address some practical issues, such as the need for preoperative computed tomography, choice of anesthesia, percutaneous access versus surgical exposure of the femoral arteries, use of aortic occlusion balloons, bifurcated versus aorto-uniiliac stent grafts, adjunctive procedures, diagnosis and treatment of abdominal compartment syndrome, and conversion to open surgical repair.

Background: Liver malignancies present substantial challenges to surgeons due to the extensive hepatic resections required, frequently resulting in posthepatectomy liver failure. Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) was designed to increase the resectable liver volume, yet it is associated with significant mortality and morbidity rates. Recently, minimally invasive techniques have been incorporated into ALPPS, with the potential to improve the procedure's safety profile whilst maintaining efficacy.

Background And Objectives: Recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown promise in medical image interpretation, yet their utility in surgical contexts remains unexplored. This study evaluates six MLLMs' performance in interpreting diverse imaging modalities for laryngeal cancer surgery.
Methods: We analyzed 169 images (X-rays, CT scans, laryngoscopy, and pathology findings) from 50 patients using six state-of-the-art MLLMs.

Background: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for the management of lateral epicondylitis (LE) have been characterized by substantial variability in reported outcomes. The source of this heterogeneity is uncertain.
Purpose: To determine the effect of estimated platelet concentration on the efficacy of PRP for the management of LE.
Aims: With the recently validated tool for estimating chronic pain after colorectal cancer surgery, the aims of this study were to calculate the prevalence and to identify predictive risk factors for chronic pain after colorectal cancer treatment.
Method: Clinical data from colorectal cancer patients treated between 2001 and 2014 were obtained from the Danish Colorectal Cancer Group database. In 2016, all survivors were invited to participate in a national cross-sectional questionnaire study on long-term functional outcomes, including the chronic pain questionnaire.
