Aim: to study an adaptability of the Clavien-Dindo classification of complications for contact ureterolithotripsy.
Materials And Methods: A total of 506 patients with ureteric stones who were undergone 545 endoscopic interventions in the Urologic Department of "MONIKI" named after M.F. Vladimirsky were included in retrospective analysis.
Results: Complications of grade 1, II, IIIa and IIIb were noted in 39 (7.1%), 24 (4.3%), 15 (2.8%) and 14 cases (2,6%), respectively. Among the complications of grade IVa, an acute pyelonephritis was complicated by the septic shock. The complication of grade IVb developed in 1 case (0.2%). There were no complications of Grade V. The Clavien-Dindo classification allows to grade only postoperative complications and attempts to adapt it for the assessment of intraoperative complications can lead to the distortion of study results.
Conclusion: The uncontrolled use of the Clavien-Dindo classification in all areas of surgery can lead to a decrease in its accuracy, thereby reducing its value as fairly universal tool. In our opinion, a further work aimed to the development of strict criteria for the different grades of complications of the Clavien-Dindo classifications is needed. We believe it is possible and necessary to develop a single tool for the assessment of complications of typical interventions within a single surgical area.

Department of General Surgery, Horsens Regional Hospital, Horsens, Denmark.
Purpose: Parastomal hernia is a frequent complication after stoma construction, with increasing incidence over time. Surgical repair is reported with a high recurrence rate and the evidence on the topic is limited. We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the incidence of recurrence after parastomal hernia repair and assessed the risk factors and predictors for recurrence at the Regional Hernia Center at Horsens Regional Hospital, Denmark.

Background: Frail elderly patients have a higher risk of postoperative morbidity and mortality. Prehabilitation is a potential intervention for optimizing postoperative outcomes in frail patients. We studied the impact of a prehabilitation program on length of stay (LOS) in frail elderly patients undergoing elective surgery.

Transabdominal preperitoneal patch plasty (TAPP) versus total extraperitoneal patch plasty (TEP) are surgical techniques commonly used to treat inguinal hernia. However, studies indicate that both procedures may lead to significant complications, particularly gastrointestinal complications, some of which can be life-threatening. We statistically analyzed the complications caused by adult inguinal hernia patients admitted from 2018 to 2022.

Introduction: The short stature characteristic of patients with achondroplasia can negatively affect health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Lower limb lengthening reusing telescopic intramedullary nails (TIMNs) offers an alternative to external fixators, with the potential to enhance functionality, self-esteem, and HRQoL, while reducing complication risks, which this study aims to evaluate.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included nine patients with achondroplasia who underwent parallel transverse lengthening of femurs and/or tibias reusing a TIMN between 2015 and 2022.
Antibiotic treatment versus appendicectomy for acute appendicitis in adults: an individual patient data meta-analysis.

Department of Surgery, Amsterdam Gastroenterology Endocrinology Metabolism, Amsterdam UMC, Location AMC, University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Netherlands. Electronic address:
Background: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have found antibiotics to be a feasible and safe alternative to appendicectomy in adults with imaging-confirmed acute appendicitis. However, patient inclusion criteria and outcome definitions vary greatly between RCTs. We aimed to compare antibiotics with appendicectomy for the treatment of acute appendicitis using individual patient data and uniform outcome definitions.
