Objective: Nationwide register data provide unique opportunities for real-world assessment of complications from different surgical methods. This study aimed to assess incidence of, and predictors for, post-operative complications and to evaluate 90-day mortality following different surgical procedures and thermal ablation for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Material And Methods: All patients undergoing surgical treatment and thermal ablation for RCC in Sweden during 2015-2019 were identified from the National Swedish Kidney Cancer Register. Frequencies and types of post-operative complications were analysed. Logistic regression models were used to identify predictors for 90-day major (Clavien-Dindo grades III-V) complications, including death.
Results: The overall complication rate was 24% (1295/5505), of which 495 (8.7%) were major complications. Most complications occurred following open surgery, of which bleeding and infection were the most common. Twice as many complications were observed in patients undergoing open surgery compared to minimally invasive surgery (20% vs. 10%, P < 0.001). Statistically significant predictors for major complications irrespective of surgical category and technique were American society of anesthiologists (ASA) score, tumour diameter and serum creatinine. Separating radical and partial nephrectomy, surgical technique remained a significant risk factor for major complications. Most complications occurred within the first 20 days. The overall 90-day readmission rate was 6.2%, and 30- and 90-day mortality rates were 0.47% and 1.5%, respectively.
Conclusions: In conclusion, bleeding and infection were the most common major complications after RCC surgery. Twice as many patients undergoing open surgery suffer a major post-operative complication as compared to patients subjected to minimally invasive surgery. General predictors for major complications were ASA score, tumour size, kidney function and surgical technique.

The triglyceride to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio has been consistently linked with the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Nevertheless, there is a paucity of studies focusing on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or experiencing bleeding events. The study encompassed 17,643 ACS participants who underwent PCI.

Antibody-mediated protection against pathogens is crucial to a healthy life. However, the recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has shown that pre-existing comorbid conditions including kidney disease account for compromised humoral immunity to infections. Individuals with kidney disease are not only susceptible to infections but also exhibit poor vaccine-induced antibody response.

Background: The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a tool to assess preoperative nutritional status that can be calculated simply based on height, weight, and serum albumin. This study assesses the utility of GNRI in predicting postoperative complications in patients undergoing major head and neck cancer (HNC) surgery.

laparoscopy has emerged as a pivotal tool for the management of acute abdominal pathologies. It provides diagnostic and therapeutic advantages, enabling surgeons to evaluate and address diverse acute abdominal conditions using minimally invasive techniques. The aim of this consensus was to obtain evidence-based guidance for surgeons regarding the utilization of laparoscopy in emergency medical settings, and has been divided into trauma and non-trauma emergencies.

Despite the variety of proposed solutions, anastomotic leakage is still a critical complication after colorectal surgery, which causes increased clinical mortality and morbidity. By enhancing microcirculation in the colonic mucosa, the use of Iloprost (Ilo) has shown promising results for the healing of anastomosis. The purpose of this study is to examine the performance of Ilo-impregnated Polycaprolactone:Gelatin electrospun membranes (PCL/Gel/Ilo) on anastomosis repair and intra-abdominal adhesion behavior in the Rat colon.
