Background/aim: As the population ages, there are increasing findings of coincidental diseases such as abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and intra-abdominal, retroperitoneal malignancy. The aim of this study was to propose an optimal treatment procedure for these patients.
Patients And Methods: Over a twenty-year-period, surgery was performed on a total of 1,098 patients with AAA and 32 (2.9%) patients with AAA and intra-abdominal, retroperitoneal malignancy: 18 renal, 6 colorectal carcinomas, 3 carcinomas of the small intestine, 3 primary liver tumours, 1 stomach carcinoma and 1 teratoma. The median age of patients was 72.5 years, there were 20 men (62.5%) and 12 women (37.5%). A one-stage procedure was performed on 19 patients (59.4%), and a two-stage procedure on 13 (40.6%) patients.
Results: The average time of hospitalization was 12.4±6.9 days (median=11.0 days) for one-stage procedure, for a two-stage procedure 21.3±9.3 days (median=20.0 days), p=0.0045. Seven patients (21.9%) died within 30 days after the operation. All the deaths were in the group of one-stage procedures (p=0.0252). The 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival for patients following one-stage and twostage procedures was 61.0/56.3/51.5% and 89.0/79.9/53.0% respectively (p=0.1199).
Conclusion: Symptomatic disease must be resolved first. Two-stage procedures are the method of choice and offer better short-term results compared to one-stage procedures.

Anterior retroperitoneal approach in constructing thymokidney organs in swine for xenotransplantation.
Front Transplant

Columbia Center for Transplantation Immunology, Columbia University, New York, NY, United States.
Introduction: Thymokidneys (TK) have been constructed to transplant life-supporting kidney grafts containing donor thymic tissue to induce transplant tolerance. Historically, TKs were constructed by inserting pieces of thymus tissue under the kidney capsule using an intra-abdominal or posterior retroperitoneal (lateral/flank) approach. The intra-abdominal approach is technically easier but causes intra-abdominal adhesions and makes kidney procurement more challenging.

Article Synopsis
- - Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDL) is a rare and aggressive subtype typically found in the retroperitoneum, with challenging diagnostics, especially when it occurs in the mesentery as documented in very few cases.
- - A 76-year-old woman was discovered to have a large mesenteric mass incidentally while being treated for pneumonia, leading to surgery where a tumor adherent to the intestine was removed and identified as intermediate-grade DDL.
- - The case emphasizes the need to include mesenteric DDL in the differential diagnosis of large abdominal masses, highlighting that complete surgical resection is crucial for treatment, alongside regular follow-ups due to its aggressive nature.
Compact Arterial Monitoring Device Use in Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA): A Simple Validation Study in Swine.

Article Synopsis
- - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
- - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
- - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.
