Pain related to percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is multifactorial and poorly elucidated. However, understanding the pathophysiology of pain can enable a practical approach to pain management, which can be tailored to each patient. A number of potential mechanisms underlie pain perception in PCNL, and these mechanisms can be leveraged at various points on the perioperative care pathway.

Background: The role of repeat transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) for the management of nonmuscle invasive bladder carcinoma is debated, especially when initial resections include detrusor muscle. This study compares immediate second resection (additional deep biopsies in the same session) with standard restage TURBT performed 2-6 weeks post-initial TURBT to determine adequacy in detrusor muscle sampling and compare the disease rate at restage TURBT in both groups.

Material And Methods: A randomized trial was conducted at a tertiary care hospital, including patients aged ≥18 years undergoing TURBT with complete primary tumor resection.

The peri-operative management of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in earlier stage disease has seen significant advances in recent years with the incorporation of immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapy. However, many unanswered questions and challenges remain, including the application of clinical trial data to routine clinical practice. Recognising the unique demographic profile of Asian patients with NSCLC and heterogeneous healthcare systems, the Asian Thoracic Oncology Research Group (ATORG) convened a consensus meeting in Singapore on 26 April 2024 to discuss relevant issues spanning diagnostic testing to post-neoadjuvant treatment considerations and future directions.

Pleural extension of pseudomyxoma peritonei is rare, and treatment demands multidisciplinary care. Perioperative management during cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy challenges anesthesiology and surgical teams in unique ways. Hemodynamic, arrhythmogenic, ventilatory, fluid balance, acid-base, and nephroprotection issues are important considerations.
