AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to assess the perioperative complications and 30-day mortality rates associated with cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) using data from the 2012 British Association of Urological Surgeons nephrectomy dataset, marking the first public reporting of surgeon outcomes in the UK.
  • A total of 279 surgeries performed by 141 surgeons were analyzed, revealing a 30-day mortality rate of 1.79%, with intraoperative complications occurring in 11.9% and postoperative complications in 20.8% of cases.
  • Significant risk factors for adverse outcomes included larger tumor size (>10 cm), the number of metastatic sites, and worse WHO Performance Status (≥2), all linked to increased blood loss and complications during

Article Abstract

Objectives: To define the perioperative morbidity and 30-day mortality of cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN) using the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) nephrectomy dataset for 2012, the first year of public reporting of individual surgeon outcomes in the UK.

Patients And Methods: All nephrectomies recorded in the database in 2012 were analysed, and cytoreductive cases identified. Outcome measures were: blood loss of >1000 mL, transfusion requirement, intra- and postoperative complications assessed by Clavien-Dindo score, and 30-day mortality (including failure-to-rescue rate). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess predictors of adverse outcomes.

Results: In all, 279 cases were undertaken by 141 surgeons in 90 centres. World Health Organization (WHO) Performance Status (PS) was 0 or 1 in 72.4% (202 cases). Open nephrectomy was performed in 59% (163 cases), with the remainder laparoscopic. The conversion rate for laparoscopy was 14% (16 cases). In all, 40 patients underwent preoperative tyrosine-kinase inhibitor treatment. No significant differences in outcome were observed for this group. The 30-day mortality was 1.79%. Intraoperative complications occurred in 11.9% and postoperative complications in 20.8%. Complications of Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ III occurred in 8%. Blood loss of >1000 mL occurred in 15.4% of cases and 24.1% of patients required a perioperative transfusion. Tumour of >10 cm was an independent risk factor for blood loss of >1000 mL (P = 0.021) and intraoperative complications (P = 0.021). The number of metastatic sites was an independent predictor of blood loss of >1000 mL (P = 0.001) and transfusion requirement (P = 0.026) WHO PS of ≥2 was also independently associated with intraoperative complication risk (P = 0.021).

Conclusions: CN in contemporary UK practice appears to have excellent perioperative outcomes overall. Risk factors for adverse perioperative outcomes include tumours of >10 cm, number of metastatic sites and WHO PS of ≥2. The balance of risk and benefit for CN should be carefully considered for patients with poor PS or extensive metastases.

Objectives: Distal femur fractures (DFF) are frequently treated surgically with single traditional constructs (STC), such as with a lateral plate or intramedullary nail, although nail-plate combination constructs (NPCC) are gaining attention. The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes between NPCC and STC for surgical fixation of DFF to guide surgeon decision-making.

Methods: Data Sources: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis using PubMed, CINAHL, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Science Direct, and SPORTDiscus from database inception until January 10th, 2024.

Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, School of Medicine, Shanghai Children's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, No.355, Luding Road, Shanghai, 200062, China.

Objectives: The study aimed to assess the incidence of post-coblation tonsillectomy hemorrhage (PCTH) and identify associated risk factors in a pediatric Chinese population.

Methods: This prospective, multicenter cohort study, conducted over 17 months, included 8854 pediatric patients who underwent coblation tonsillectomy across 15 research centers in China. Patient data were collected through an Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system.

We report the case of a 78-year-old patient with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the right coronary artery, subsequently found to have a large subepicardial mass. The patient underwent a non-invasive multimodal diagnostic work-up including cardiac computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, which led to the diagnosis of subepicardial hematoma following coronary perforation during primary PCI. Due to clinical stability and absence of active bleeding sources, the patient was managed conservatively with gradual absorption of the mass and favorable prognostic outcome.

parasites have a complex life cycle that transitions between mosquito and mammalian hosts, and undergo continuous cellular remodeling to adapt to various drastic environments. Following hepatocyte invasion, the parasite discards superfluous organelles for intracellular replication, and the remnant organelles undergo extensive branching and mature into hepatic merozoites. Autophagy is a ubiquitous eukaryotic process that permits the recycling of intracellular components.

A New Hybrid Quantitative Evaluation Model for Axillary Junctional Hemorrhage in Swine.

In this study, we developed and validated a hybrid quantitative model for simulating upper extremity junctional hemorrhage in swine, aiming to advance the development of pre-hospital hemostatic products. Utilizing 12 healthy 8-month-old male Yorkshire swine, we demonstrated the feasibility of a swine axillary artery injury model for evaluating hemostatic efficacy. Animals were divided into three groups to undergo volume-controlled hemorrhage (VCH), mimicking Class I-III hemorrhagic shock by withdrawing blood at different rates.
