Late sequelae to cancer treatment of the pelvic organs are common. Gastrointestinal symptoms including chronic diarrhoea, faecal urgency, and faecal incontinence are some of the most disabling with a negative impact on quality of life. By investigating and treating the gastrointestinal symptoms in specialised late adverse effects clinics more than half of the patients can be helped. The treatment is individually tailored depending on the patients' main symptoms and underlying pathophysiology performed in collaboration between gastroenterologists, surgeons, oncologists, dieticians, and specialised nurses, as argued in this review.

Minimally Invasive vs Open Surgery for Thoracolumbar Fractures Treatment: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials and Prospective Studies.
Spine (Phila Pa 1976)
January 2025
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Hotel Dieu de France Hospital, Beirut, LEBANON.
Study Design: Meta-Analysis.
Objective: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to pool the available data comparing MIS to open surgery for thoracolumbar fractures and provide a more comprehensive assessment on this topic.
Background: There remains a debate over whether minimally invasive surgery (MIS) or open fixation provides superior outcomes for patients with thoracolumbar fractures.
Retroperitoneal Soft Tissue Sarcoma and Kidney Autotransplantation: A Case Report.
Clin Case Rep

Department of Surgical Oncology, Erasmus MC Cancer Institute Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam The Netherlands.
Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are rare malignancies, with retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma (RPS) constituting 10%-15% of all STSs. RPS often presents late due to minimal early symptoms, typically requiring complete en-bloc resection for optimal survival outcomes. Achieving radical resection can be challenging due to the tumor's proximity to vital organs.

Introduction: Sepsis is an uncontrolled systemic response to infection that leads to life-threatening organ dysfunction. The in-hospital mortality rate remains significantly high in septic shock patients with malignancies. This study investigates whether early and high-volume administration of sodium bicarbonate during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) can reduce 28-day mortality, increase shock reversal rates, and shorten the duration of CRRT, mechanical ventilation, and intensive care unit (ICU) stays.

Department of Neurosurgery, University Hospital Cruces, Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain.
Background: Delayed radiation-induced complications after stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for arteriovenous malformations (AVM) have scarcely been described in the literature, and their incidence, pathophysiology, and treatment remain unclear. Additionally, the literature regarding these complications is confusing. The authors present a well-documented case report describing these late complications, adding evidence to the possible common pathophysiological mechanism underlying them, and illustrating an effective treatment modality when they occur.

Department of Translational Medicine, University of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate anatomical and functional outcomes of the Smaller-Incision New Generation Implantable Miniature Telescope (SING IMT™) in patients with bilateral advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Methods: This non-comparative retrospective single-surgeon interventional case series included patients with bilateral late-stage AMD who underwent cataract surgery and SING IMT™ implantation at the Sant'Anna University Hospital, University of Ferrara, Italy. The main outcome measures included corrected distance (CDVA) and near visual acuity (CNVA), endothelial cell loss (ECL), and incidence of complications.
