A review of 345 surgical procedures performed on the digestive tract with the use of automatic suturing devices is presented. The morbidity due to hemmorrhage, fistula formation and obstruction as well as the reoperation and mortality rates are discussed and compared with those reported in the literature for the same procedures using standard anastomotic and suturing techniques. This study confirms the safety of these stapling instruments in a wide variety of gastrointestinal procedures in which their use resulted in a considerable saving of operative time.

Background: The outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) depends on several factors, including the quality of the distal anastomoses to the coronary arteries. Early graft failure may be caused by, e.g.

3D photogrammetry is a cost-effective, non-invasive imaging modality that does not require the use of ionizing radiation or sedation. Therefore, it is specifically valuable in pediatrics and is used to support the diagnosis and longitudinal study of craniofacial developmental pathologies such as craniosynostosis - the premature fusion of one or more cranial sutures resulting in local cranial growth restrictions and cranial malformations. Analysis of 3D photogrammetry requires the identification of craniofacial landmarks to segment the head surface and compute metrics to quantify anomalies.

Background: Air leakage during pulmonary resection is a major complication in thoracic surgery. It frequently occurs at sites of adhesion dissection, due to lung manipulation, and along the staple lines of automatic suturing devices, particularly in cases of pulmonary fragility such as those of emphysema and interstitial pneumonia. Persistent postoperative air leakage prolongs chest tube indwelling and extends hospitalization time.

A man in his 60s, who had undergone surgery for rectal cancer, liver metastases, and lung metastasis, had a past history of myocardial infarction and ventricular fibrillation with reduced cardiac functions. He was referred to our department because of a pulmonary nodule shadow in the S2 right upper lobe and a bronchial cast shadow along the B2 bronchus. Robot-assisted thoracoscopic right S2 segmentectomy was performed and intraoperative bronchoscopy revealed a polyp-like tumor within B2a.

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.
