Detailed brain imaging studies discover gliomas incidentally before clinical symptoms or signs show. These tumors represent an early stage in the natural history of gliomas. Left untreated, they are likely to progress to a symptomatic stage and transform to malignant gliomas. A greater extent of resection delays the onset of malignant transformation and prolongs patient survival. Because incidental gliomas are typically smaller and less likely to be in eloquent brain locations, there is a strong case for early surgical intervention to maximize resection and improve outcomes. This article discusses developments in the surgical management of low-grade gliomas.

Pathological complete response after chemotherapy in initially unresectable distal cholangiocarcinoma.

Surgical resection is the only curative treatment for cholangiocarcinoma, but it is often diagnosed at advanced stages, making surgical resection infeasible. Recently, the concept of conversion surgery has expanded the indications for surgical treatment, thanks to advancements in both perioperative management and chemotherapy. However, it remains unclear which patients benefit most from this treatment strategy.

Trends in the surgical management of proximal humerus fractures over the last 20 years from Australian registry databases.

Background: Proximal humerus fractures (PHF) are common with approximately 30% requiring surgical intervention. This ranges from open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) to shoulder arthroplasty (including hemiarthroplasty, total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA)). The aim of this study was to assess trends in operative interventions for PHF in an Australian population.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Autologous fascia lata has been increasingly utilised in pelvic floor reconstructive surgeries such as sacrocolpopexy and sacrohysteropexy. This case highlights sacrohysteropexy with autologous fascia lata as a promising option for women with advanced uterovaginal prolapse who wish to preserve their uterus and avoid synthetic mesh.
Methods: We report the case of a 65-year-old woman with stage 3 pelvic organ prolapse following one forceps and one spontaneous vaginal delivery.
Relationship between cumulative blood pressure exposure within the early brain injury time window and delayed cerebral ischemia and rebleeding in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage after aneurysm clipping: a retrospective study.

Delayed cerebral ischemia, one of the most common complications following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, was strongly related to poor patient outcomes. However, there are currently no clear guidelines to provide clinical guidance for post-craniotomy management. Our research aims to explore the association between cumulative blood pressure exposure during the early brain injury phase and the occurrence of delayed cerebral infarction and rebleeding following surgical aneurysm clipping.
