Article Abstract
I.v. atracurium 0.3 mg kg-1 and suxamethonium 1.6 mg kg-1 plus infusion were compared for use in outpatient laparoscopy. Thirty patients were randomly assigned to receive one of the two blocking drugs. Both drugs proved suitable for use in outpatient laparoscopy, but atracurium may have advantages if the operation proceeds directly to laparotomy.

Efficacy of ursodeoxycholic acid in reducing the necessity of cholecystectomy due to pre-existing and subsequently formed gallstones in patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy.
BMC Surg
January 2025
Health Sciences Faculty, Gedik University, Istanbul, Turkey.
Background: In this study, we aimed to investigate whether ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) would reduce the necessity of cholecystectomy in patients diagnosed with asymptomatic gallstones after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and in patients diagnosed with asymptomatic gallstones before LSG.
Methods: Between July 2020 and November 2022, at least 2-year follow-ups of patients who underwent LSG for obesity were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with pre-existing asymptomatic gallstones during preoperative evaluation, those with UDCA treatment (group 1), and observation group (group 2).
Jejunal flap interposition after total gastrectomy in managing patients with familial adenomatous polyposis: A report on the experience of a single centre.

Introduction: Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) are characterised by the appearance of colorectal cancer if the disease is left to follow its natural course, which means they frequently undergo prophylactic colectomy at a young age. In these patients, duodenal cancer becomes the leading cause of death, which deems surveillance necessary. Gastric cancer, although rare, can also occur in these patients, and total gastrectomy is the usual treatment option.

Background: Endometrioma are endometriotic deposits within the ovary. Laparoscopic management of endometriomas is associated with shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, and decreased hospital costs compared with laparotomy. The previous version of this systematic review (2008), including randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of surgical interventions for endometrioma, concluded that laparoscopic cystectomy (excision) was preferable to drainage and ablation of endometrioma.

Amsterdam University Medical Center, location Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Objective: Adhesions between the uterus, bladder and anterior abdominal wall are associated with clinical sequelae, including chronic pelvic pain and dyspareunia, and can also yield complications during surgery. The transvaginal sonographic (TVS) sliding bladder sign is a minimally invasive diagnostic tool to evaluate the presence of vesicouterine adhesions. This study aimed to determine the predictive value and intra- and interobserver variation of the TVS sliding bladder sign in the assessment of vesicouterine adhesions.
