Sector resection of the breast is the standard surgical treatment of benign breast disease, but often it has unsatisfactory outcomes. The aim of the study was a comparative analysis of the effectiveness of surgical treatment of patients with benign breast diseases after sector resection and after modification of the procedure. Classical sector resection was performed on 45 women, 106 - underwent operations with using of plastic surgery elements. The effectiveness of treatment was defined by the presence of complications in the early postoperative period; the quality of life was studied using questionnaires--The Short Form Medical Study (SF-36) and The Breast Evaluation Questionnaire (BEQ)--before surgery and after 3 and 12 months after surgery. After sector resection was 44% of the complications in the early postoperative period, after the developed techniques - 17%. 3 months after the operation quality of life and aesthetic satisfaction of breast in patients of both groups decreased. 1 year after sector resection the rates of satisfaction of breast aesthetic appearance were significantly lower than the preoperative level. In patients after modified operations at 1 year was observed a significant improvement in well-being and satisfaction of aesthetic appearance of breast. The method of sector resection has a greater number of complications; it leads to deterioration of the aesthetic appearance of the breast in 1 year after surgery. Surgery techniques with elements of mammaplasty have fewer complications and improve quality of life after surgery.

Background: Facial artery musculomucosal (FAMM) flaps are used for reconstruction of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC). This study evaluates the oncologic safety of the FAMM flaps for OCSCC reconstruction, given the need to preserve the facial artery and vein during elective neck dissection.
Design & Methods: Retrospective single surgeon case series of all patients undergoing FAMM flap reconstruction for OCSCC from 2016 through 2023.

Despite being uncommon, postoperative vasospasm (PoVS) present notably high morbidity and mortality rates. Our aim was to identify prognostic factors associated with this condition and introduce a scoring system to improve subsequent clinical and radiological surveillance strategies. We conducted a retrospective analysis of our institutional database covering patients aged over 18 who underwent craniotomic or transsphenoidal surgery for elective tumor removal at the Neurosurgical Unit of our institution between January 2016 and August 2023.

Background: During the Covid-19 pandemic cancer surgery was severely affected due to relocation of healthcare resources and the resulting restructuring of cancer pathways. Although this potentially affected rapidly progressing malignancies like pancreatic cancer the most, little is known about long-term outcomes following pancreatectomy.
Materials And Methods: Survival data from two pancreatic surgery centres in the UK was analysed with patients being compared across pre-pandemic (C19-) and intra-pandemic (C19+) groups.

Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy is a standard therapeutic option for resected pancreatic cancer. However, the risk factors for incompletion of adjuvant chemotherapy remain unclear.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 72 patients who underwent radical pancreatectomy and received S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer.

Aim: Sufficient liver function is crucial in extracellular matrix growth, hemostasis, and wound healing. Repeated abdominal surgery is a known risk factor for the development of wound complications. This study aimed to evaluate this high-risk constellation in patients undergoing associated liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) and repeated liver resections (RLR) in comparison to single liver resection (SLR).
