Introduction: major abdomino-pelvic surgery includes a series of procedures that carry a high percentage of postoperative complications. Our objective is to identify the factors related to post-surgical complications, classified according to Clavien-Dindo classification, with special attention to nutritional factors in patients who undergo major abdomino-pelvic surgery.
Material And Method: retrospective observational study between July 2012 and December 2013. A total of 255 patients undergoing major abdomino-pelvic surgery (colorectal, gastric, obesity or total cystectomy) were selected on a scheduled basis. Four types of variables were collected: sociodemographic, baseline, diagnostic and outcome variables, including perioperative complications that were classified in 5 grades according to the Clavien-Dindo scale, and for the analysis of results, two groups of patients were separated: The group with complications grade 0 and I and group 2 with complications III to V. The statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS version 22.0.
Results: patients had a mean age of 65 years. Twenty patients (7.8%) returned in the first 30 days after surgery and 8 patients (3.1%) died. 152 cases (59.6%) were classified in group 1 and 103 cases (40.4%) in group 2. When analyzing both groups, we found significant differences in the operative variables: type of surgery and laparoscopic or open approach. Regarding the physiological and nutritional parameters, we observed significant differences in the following factors: preoperative BMI, preoperative albumin, preoperative hemoglobin and day of onset of postoperative tolerance.
Conclusion: in our study we have identified modifiable factors, such as hemoglobin and preoperative albumin, BMI and early onset of oral tolerance, related to postoperative morbidity. Preoperative nutritional status is related to postoperative complications in major abdomino-pelvic surgery.

Objectives: Evaluate the utility of a joint model when analysing a patient-reported endpoint as part of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in which censoring occurs when patients die during follow-up.
Study Design And Setting: The present study comprises two parts as follows: first we reanalyzed data from a previously published RCT comparing two fluid regimens in the first 24 hours of major abdomino-pelvic surgery ('Restrictive versus Liberal Fluid Therapy for Major Abdominal Surgery [RELIEF]' trial). In this trial, patient-reported disability was measured at multiple timepoints before and after surgery.

Here we present two cases of post-operative obstructive renal failure following major abdomino-pelvic sarcoma surgery. In both cases, prophylactic ureteric stents were inserted to aid the identification and protection of the ureters during resection of these complex retroperitoneal masses. In case one, obstructive renal failure occurred following ureteric stent removal on day 0 post-operatively.

Article Synopsis
- - This study investigated whether the reasons for oocyte reception (OR) or embryo reception (ER) affect reproductive and obstetric outcomes at a tertiary fertility center, reviewing 584 cycles from 194 patients and analyzing 27 relevant studies from various databases.
- - The major reasons for OR/ER were categorized into three groups: failure of autologous assisted reproductive technology, premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), and genetic disease carrier status.
- - Results showed no significant differences in pregnancy rates, miscarriage rates, and obstetric outcomes among the groups, consistent with existing literature, although some studies noted poorer outcomes for patients with POI from chemotherapy or radiation treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in children and can lead to severe complications, particularly due to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria known as ESKAPE, which pose challenges for treatment.
- A study conducted on 508 children in South-East Gabon found a high prevalence of UTIs (59%), primarily caused by E. coli and K. pneumoniae, with various resistance profiles complicating treatment options.
- The research indicated that certain resistant strains, like DTR and CRE-E. coli, were linked to specific symptoms, highlighting the importance of understanding the antibiotic sensitivity of ESKAPE uropathogens for effective management of pediatric UTIs.
