Purpose: To explore the perspectives of children with CP, their parents or carers, and health professionals on factors affecting expectations and perceptions of surgical outcomes for lower limb orthopaedic surgery.
Materials And Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 healthcare professionals, 10 children and young people with CP, and 8 parents. Interview data were analysed by content analysis supported by the Framework Approach using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF-CY).
Results: A comprehensive list of 10 factors including facilitators, barriers, motivational and demotivational factors were identified and categorized into two overreaching themes (Environmental and Personal factors): interdisciplinary collaboration, communication and information resources, holistic care, and shared goal setting are reported as environment facilitators of outcomes expectations. In contrast, reported barriers include lack of time and resources and divergent expectations. Personal motivators include family encouragement, patient's self-determination, and previous experiences, whereas personal demotivators include fear of a new environment.
Conclusion: The recognition of potential factors influencing expectations and perceptions of surgical outcomes could assist clinical reasoning when planning surgical interventions for ambulant children with CP. If these factors are integrated into the healthcare practice, it will most likely enhance the positive stakeholders' experiences postoperatively.IMPLICATION FOR REHABILITATIONUnderstanding relevant stakeholders' experiences offer a positive contribution to holistic and person-centred approaches in healthcare.People with cerebral palsy and their caregivers require adequate information on surgery and post-surgical rehabilitation regime in order to reach informed decisions.Previous experiences can influence surgical expectations and subsequent perceptions of the outcome.

Early Reinitiation of Obesity Pharmacotherapy Post Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy in Youth: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Obes Surg

Division of Upper Gastrointestinal and General Surgery, Department of Surgery, Keck Medical Center of University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA.
Background: Bariatric surgery is the most effective intervention for severe pediatric obesity, but a subset of youth experience suboptimal weight loss and/or recurrent weight gain. Early re-initiation of obesity pharmacotherapy postoperatively may improve outcomes, though this has not been evaluated in pediatric populations.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study at a tertiary care children's hospital evaluated the safety and efficacy of reintroducing obesity pharmacotherapy within six weeks after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).

Department of Colorectal Surgery, Heliopolis Hospital, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
Purpose: Locally advanced colorectal tumors frequently invade adjacent organs, particularly the urinary bladder in the sigmoid colon and upper rectum, complicating multivisceral resections. This study compared postoperative outcomes of partial cystectomy (PC) and total cystectomy (TC) in patients with locally advanced colorectal cancer.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, Central Register of Clinical Trials, and Web of Science for studies published up to November 2024.

Purpose: Perioperative respiratory adverse event (PRAE) is one of the most common complications in pediatric anesthesia. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of perioperative pharmacological interventions to prevent the development of PRAE in children undergoing noncardiac surgery.
Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and ClinicalTrials.
Presurgical anxiety and acute postsurgical pain predict worse chronic pain profiles after total knee/hip arthroplasty.

Introduction: Total joint arthroplasties generally achieve good outcomes, but chronic pain and disability are a significant burden after these interventions. Acknowledging relevant risk factors can inform preventive strategies. This study aimed to identify chronic pain profiles 6 months after arthroplasty using the ICD-11 (International Classification of Diseases) classification and to find pre and postsurgical predictors of these profiles.

Introduction: There is a lack of clinical evidence supporting the decision-making process between high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and unicomparmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in gray zone indication, such as moderate medial osteoarthritis with moderate varus alignment. This study compared the outcomes between HTO and UKA in such cases and assessed the risk factor for not maintaining clinical improvements.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 65 opening-wedge HTOs and 55 UKAs with moderate medial osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade ≥ 3 and Ahlback grade < 3) and moderate varus alignment (5°< Hip-Knee-Ankle angle < 10°) over 3 years follow-up.
