99 surgical procedures of thoracic part of esophagus resections were performed between 1985 and 1995. All thoracotomies were right-sided and alimentary canal continuity were substituted with a stomach (or with a small intestine or a colon in only a few cases) transposed inside a thorax cavity. Almost all cases there were planoepitheliale cancers. The sex index (men to women) was 6:1. The main reason of perioperative mortality were pulmonary complications (almost 90%): a respiratory insufficiency, an atelectasias, infections, and a broncho-pleural leakage. The nutrition state, stapler-using, anastomosis leak, and wound-healing way had no influence on mortality rate. Other mortality reasons there were a pleural hemorrhage, a mediastinitis as a result of esophago-gastric anastomosis disruption, a heart infarct, and a thrombo-embolic complications.

Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists in the Peri-Operative Period.
Br J Hosp Med (Lond)

Birmingham School of Anaesthesia, West Midlands, UK.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are emerging as an important class of drugs in the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. There are rising concerns of pulmonary aspiration with these medications due to drug-induced gastroparesis. While definitive association is uncertain, it is essential to be prudent and manage these patients as per the current evidence and recommendations.

To optimize the efficacy of analgesia for patients receiving laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, peri-operative pain neuroscience education (PNE) as a pain-specific cognitive therapy was incorporated into multi-modal analgesia. A randomized controlled trial was conducted to compare conventional analgesia (group CA) and the addition of pain neuroscience education into it (group PNE) in patients receiving laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Characteristics of peri-operative pain was evaluated with Douleur Neuropathique 4 questionnaire (DN-4), central sensitization inventory (CSI), pain catastrophizing scale (PCS) post-operatively and pressure pain threshold.

Liver ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) injury remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality following liver transplantation and resection. CD4+ T cells have been shown to play a key role in murine models; however, there is currently a lack of data that support their role in human patients. Data on clinical outcomes and complications were documented prospectively in 28 patients undergoing first elective liver transplant surgery.

Purpose: Spine surgery, particularly deformity correction, is associated with a high risk of peri-operative or post-operative complications, and these complications can lead to catastrophic consequences. This case report will present the etiology and treatment process of the peri-operative cardiac arrest during scoliosis correction surgery.
Method: In this report, we present a case of cardiac arrest during posterior correction surgery in a 17-year-old female patient with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Management of post-operative anaemia in patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer: a qualitative focus group-based study.

Somerset NHS Foundation Trust, Yeovil, UK.
Background: Optimal management of anaemia following surgery for colorectal cancer remains unclear. Peri-operative anaemia is common in patients undergoing resectional surgery for colorectal cancer. A significant amount of research has been conducted into the management of pre-operative anaemia; however, little work has investigated post-operative anaemia.
