Objective: To evaluate the use of terlipressin for intraoperative bleeding reduction in functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS).
Methods: This prospective, randomized, single-center, single-blinded cohort study included 74 cases of FESS performed under general anesthesia (GA). The patients were randomized into two groups: WT (without terlipressin, n = 39) and T (with 200 μg terlipressin, n = 35). Bleeding intensity (BI) was assessed using a 6-point scale. Heart rate (HR), mean blood pressure (MBP), perfusion index (PI), and BI were recorded at 10, 30, and 60 min after surgery. A BI score ≥2 qualified as significant.
Results: The T group had significantly higher MBP compared with the WT group, but HR values did not differ significantly. PI and BI scores were significantly reduced in the T group compared with the WT group. The risk of significant bleeding in the treatment group was 35.5 times lower (odds ratio [OR], 0.028; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.006-0.138) at 30 min and 7.1 times lower (OR, 0.140; 95% CI, 0.049-0.402) at 60 min. The prognostic model for significant bleeding at 60 min showed that only terlipressin played a significant role in bleeding control (p < 0.05). The model predicted a 13.9-fold decrease in significant bleeding risk in the T group.
Conclusion: Low doses (200 μg) of terlipressin reduced intraoperative bleeding without decreasing blood pressure during FESS under GA.

Safety and clinical efficacy of modified tracer fixation technique in orthopedic robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty for Kümmell's disease.

The rising incidence of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) has increased the demand for precise treatments like robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), especially for conditions like Kümmell's disease that require high surgical accuracy. However, the traditional tracer fixation method has certain limitations. This study aimed to compare the safety and clinical efficacy of a modified tracer fixation technique with the traditional fixation method in robot-assisted percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for Kümmell's disease.

Background: Textbook outcome (TO) has been utilized to assess the quality of surgical care. This study aimed to define TO rates for minimally invasive gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) resections in a bi-institutional cohort.
Methods: Patients with gastric GIST (≤ 5 cm) who underwent laparoscopic or robotic resection (January 2014 to January 2024) were retrospectively identified from two GIST centers.
Ureteral access sheath or percutaneous nephrostomy during flexible ureteroscopy: which is better?

Urology Department, Benha University, Benha, Qalubia, Egypt.
Studies in literature discussed the drawbacks of the ureteral access sheath use in flexible ureteroscopy and in the same time mentioned the benefits of ureteral access sheath in decreasing the incidence of urosepsis and better stone free rate. In the current study we aim to compare between percutaneous nephrostomy tube (PCN) insertion before flexible ureteroscopy and conventional ureteral access sheath (UAS) flexible ureteroscopy in terms of safety, efficacy and perioperative outcomes. In all, 100 Patients aged 20 to 67 years with upper ureteric stones and mild hydronephrosis or renal pelvic stones less than 20 mm with mild hydronephrosis were randomized into 2 groups; patients undergoing PCN insertion before flexible ureteroscopy, and patients undergoing the conventional UAS flexible ureteroscopy.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the perioperative outcomes and complications associated with the use of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in deceased donor kidney transplantation (KTX), with a particular focus on bleeding events.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 157 kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) who underwent KTX at Charité Berlin, Department for Urology, between February 2014 and December 2017. Patients were divided into two groups: patients with ASA in their preoperative medication (Group A, n = 59) and patients without ASA use (Group B, n = 98).

Study Design: Retrospective study.
Objective: To assess the feasibility and outcome of rapid recovery protocol (RRP) in severe adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients with Cobb angle ≥90 degrees underwent single-staged posterior spinal fusion (PSF).
Summary Of Background Data: Corrective surgeries in severe AIS patients entail a higher risk of prolonged operation, excessive bleeding, extended hospital stay, and higher complication rates compared with non-severe AIS patients.
