Anterior nutcracker syndrome (ANCS) and May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) are part of a rare group of vascular compression syndromes where extrinsic compression of arteries or veins results in non-specific clinical presentation posing diagnostic and management challenges. We present the case of a female patient in her early 40s with a 3 year history of left flank and pelvic pain, left leg swelling and microscopic haematuria attributed to a rare combination of ANCS and MTS. Compression of the left common iliac vein (MTS) was managed with left common iliac stenting and compression of the left renal vein (LRV; ANCS) was managed surgically with a novel modified technique of LRV transposition using an autologous gonadal vein graft with subsequent resolution of all symptoms. To our knowledge, this is the fourth case presenting the coexistence of the two syndromes in the literature and the first presenting the modified treatment approach.

Objectives: Differences in inflammatory responses between men and women may contribute to sex disparities in cardiac surgery outcomes. We investigated how sex differences influence systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery.
Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing cardiac surgery from 2018 to 2020 was performed.

Compartment syndrome is an orthopaedic emergency with moderate-to-severe sequela (pain, muscle contracture, nerve damage, infection, rhabdomyolysis, renal failure, etc.) if inadequately treated and can be difficult to diagnose in a timely fashion. Further complicating timely diagnosis are atypical presentations resulting in compartment syndrome.

Purpose: Retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) present a surgical challenge due to their complex anatomical relationships to organs and vascular structures. In this limited case series, we reconstructed the tumour beds of four cases of RPS and their ex vivo specimens.
Methods: Four patients underwent surgical resection of their retroperitoneal sarcoma at our centre in 2023-2024.

Background: Acute Stanford type A aortic dissection is a severe emergency condition that, if left untreated, is associated with a high mortality rate. The extent of surgical repair may impact the outcomes of these patients.
Method: Patients operated for acute type A aortic dissection from a multicentre European registry were included.

Background: Zinner syndrome is a rare congenital malformation of the male genitourinary system, characterized by a triad: seminal vesicle cyst, unilateral renal agenesis, and ipsilateral ejaculatory duct obstruction. The etiology of this uncommon disease remains largely elusive; however, genetic mutations may contribute to its development. In this report, we present a case of symptomatic Zinner syndrome that was surgically treated, alongside an investigation into the potential genetic basis of the syndrome via whole exome sequencing.
