Article Abstract
Purpose: In our previous randomized controlled trial (RCT), comparing adenotonsillectomy (ATE) with adenopharyngoplasty (APP) in children with severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), there were no differences in respiratory sleep parameters or quality of life. The purpose of the present report was to evaluate postoperative morbidity from this RCT.
Methods: The study was a blinded RCT in 83 children (ATE = 47; APP = 36), 2-4 years of age, with an obstructive apnea-hypopnea index of ≥ 10. Pain was assessed from the first until the tenth day after surgery with a logbook that reported pain by child (FPS-R, Faces Pain Scale-Revised) and caregiver (visual analogue scale), analgesic use, return to normal diet, and weight change. Bleeding, infection, satisfaction with treatment, speech, and swallowing were assessed with a questionnaire and medical records 6 months after surgery.
Results: Sixty-four children (77%) returned the logbook and 65 (78%) answered the questionnaire. The median (interquartile range) day the children graded themselves as pain free (FPS-R = 0) was 7 (6-10) after ATE, compared with 9 (7 to > 10) after APP (p = 0.018). There were no other significant differences between the groups regarding any other pain-related outcomes, bleeding, infection, satisfaction, swallowing, or speech, but three children (11%) reported impaired speech after APP compared to none after ATE (p = 0.067).
Conclusion: The results regarding postoperative morbidity were in favor of ATE and the results from our previous report showed no advantages of APP. Therefore, APP should not be recommended in young, otherwise healthy children with OSA.

Background: This study compared short- and mid-term outcomes of hemihepatectomy (HH) and pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) in patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, focusing on surgical outcomes, body composition, and nutritional status.
Method: A retrospective review was conducted to assess short-term outcomes, including operative time, blood loss, complications, and mortality. Body composition and nutritional parameters were analyzed preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively.
Construction of a random survival forest model based on a machine learning algorithm to predict early recurrence after hepatectomy for adult hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background And Aims: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) exhibits a propensity for early recurrence following liver resection, resulting in a bleak prognosis. At present, majority of the predictive models for the early postoperative recurrence of HCC rely on the linear assumption of the Cox Proportional Hazard (CPH) model. However, the predictive efficacy of this model is constrained by the intricate nature of clinical data.

Background: Lung cancer remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with surgery being a primary treatment option for early-stage cases. Minimally invasive surgery has gained attention due to its potential benefits. Uniportal robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) is emerging as a viable option for treating lung cancer patients.

Purpose: Sulcus-deepening trochleoplasty (TP) effectively treats patellofemoral (PF) instability (PFI) caused by high-grade trochlear dysplasia (TD), but current evidence is based on small case series. We hypothesised, that TP would result in significant functional improvements and a low re-dislocation rate but would not accelerate the progression of PF cartilage deterioration.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all TP cases performed by a single surgeon between 2015 and 2021.

The benefits of permanent cardiac pacing have been widely demonstrated. However, the literature on complications remains inconsistent. We lack precise information about the frequency of complications and their predictive factors in our center.
