Aberrant anatomy in the context of the critical view of safety.

Background: The protective impact of the Critical View of Safety (CVS) approach on the vasculo-biliary injuries during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) depends largely upon the understanding of the normal and variant anatomy. Structures exposed during the acquisition of the CVS can deviate from the typical dual configuration of the cystic duct and artery (gallbladder pedicle) representing either a third (supernumerary) or atypical in course (heterotopic) element. The aim of this study was to determine the identity and the frequency of these anatomical elements and to propose anatomic schemata that can guide the achievement of CVS by surgeons.

Soft tissue tumor imaging in adults: European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology-Guidelines 2024: imaging immediately after neoadjuvant therapy in soft tissue sarcoma, soft tissue tumor surveillance, and the role of interventional radiology.

Objectives: An update of the first European Society of Musculoskeletal Radiology (ESSR) consensus on soft tissue tumor imaging in 2015 became necessary due to technical advancements, further insights into specific entities, and the revised WHO classification (2020) and AJCC staging system (2017). The third part of the revised guidelines covers algorithms and techniques beyond initial imaging: (1) Imaging after neoadjuvant therapy in soft tissue sarcoma, (2) sarcoma surveillance, and (3) special aspects, including surveillance of non-malignant entities and the role of interventional radiology.

Materials And Methods: A validated Delphi method based on peer-reviewed literature was used to derive consensus among a panel of 46 specialized musculoskeletal radiologists from 12 European countries.

Accuracy of the Norwegian trauma protocol. An observational population study from South-Western Norway.

Background: The Norwegian trauma plan was established in 2007 and renewed in 2017 defining national trauma team activation (TTA) criteria. Norwegian studies validating the performance of previous TTA protocols have found overtriage and undertriage to be out of line with the quality indicators set in the national trauma plan, but studies have not yet been published validating the new TTA protocol.

Material And Method: This was a registry study of a prospectively maintained database in the period from 01/01/2018 to 12/31/2020.

Standards for Quality Improvement Registries on Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: A Delphi Consensus Report From VASCUNET and International Consortium of Vascular Registries.

Objective: Outcome registries in vascular surgery are increasingly used to drive quality improvement by vascular societies. The VASCUNET collaboration, within the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS), and the International Consortium of Vascular Registries (ICVR) developed a set of variables for quality improvement registries on abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair as a registry standard.

Methods: Representatives from international vascular registries within VASCUNET, ICVR, and other nations with established registries were invited to provide the variables.

The Descriptive and Disproportionality Assessment of EudraVigilance Database Reports on Capecitabine Induced Cardiotoxicity.

Unlabelled: Capecitabine (CAP) is one of the most commonly prescribed fluoropyrimidines in oncology, especially in the treatment of colon cancer. Cardiac toxicity is a severe and potentially lethal adverse drug reaction (ADR) against fluoropyrimidines. Cardiac ADRs, such as myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure (HF), arrhythmias, and a number of cardiomyopathies, are reported for these molecules.

The C/C Genotype of rs1231760 in Is a Risk Factor for the Progression of -Positive Atrophic Gastritis by Increasing Expression.

Background: Chronic gastritis caused by () infection can progress to gastric cancer through atrophic gastritis (AG). The risk of gastric cancer increases with the progression of AG. Therefore, investigating the risk factors for the progression of AG is important.

Gender Disparity in Surgical Research: An Analysis of Authorship in Randomized Controlled Trials.

Introduction: Despite increasing female representation in medical fields, women remain underrepresented in high-impact authorship positions. This study examines gender disparities in authorship of randomized controlled trials in general surgery journals over the past 20 y.

Methods: Utilizing PubMed and the Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate, 2023), we identified 8810 randomized controlled trials from 117 surgery journals, filtering down to 5694 studies for final analysis.

Back to my future: life after surgery for tertiary hyperparathyroidism.

Purposes: Evaluate the changes in quality of life (QoL) in patients affected by tertiary hyperparathyroidism (THPT) after surgical treatment using the Parathyroidectomy Assessment of Symptoms (PAS) and Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaires.

Methods: Single centre longitudinal retrospective, single-institution analysis of 34 patients with THPT and submitted to parathyroidectomy between 2015 and 2021. The PAS and SF-36 questionnaires were administered before surgery and 24 months after discharge.

CRITICAL VIEW OF SAFETY: A PROSPECTIVE SURGICAL AND PHOTOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS IN LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY - DOES IT HELP TO PREVENT IATROGENIC LESIONS?

Background: The incidence of biliary duct injuries remains higher in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in comparison to open surgery. The Critical View of Safety (CVS) was introduced by Strasberg as a strategy for reducing this catastrophic complication. AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate how often an adequate CVS is achieved during LC, the determining factors for its success, and the associated surgical outcomes.

Pharmaceutical Interventions for the Management of Hemorrhagic Shock in Hepatic Surgery: An Experimental Swine Model Outcome.

Introduction During abdominal trauma or major hepatic surgery, the liver can be subjected to hypoxic conditions due to hemorrhage, leading to various degrees of ischemic injury to hepatocytes. Hemorrhagic shock, a critical and life-threatening condition, often complicates hepatic surgery due to massive blood loss, resulting in inadequate tissue perfusion and oxygenation. The challenge in managing hemorrhagic shock in hepatic surgery is heightened by the liver's unique blood supply and its crucial role in coagulation.

Imaging of Body Composition.

Body composition is now recognized to have a major impact on health and disease. Imaging enables its analysis in an objective and quantitative way through diverse techniques such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonography. This review article first surveys the methodological aspects underpinning the use of these modalities to assess body composition, highlighting their strengths and limitations as well as the set of parameters that they measure and their clinical relevance.

Medial collateral ligament section during unicompartmental knee arthroplasty managed by direct repair and fascia lata augmentation autograft: a case report and surgical technique.

Background: The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is crucial for ensuring implant stability after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Intraoperative MCL lesions can cause valgus instability, affecting function and implant longevity, and thereby negatively impacting the patient's outcome. Every surgeon who performs UKA may encounter this complication in their daily practice.

Frailty and health-related life quality in long-term follow up of intensive care patients above 65 years old: Protocol for a Norwegian prospective, observational multicenter study.

Background: Frailty is strongly correlated with mortality in intensive care unit patients, yet routine screening among intensive care patients is rarely performed. The aim of this study is to assess frailty and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients before intensive care admission and to compare this with outcomes after 3 and 12-months. The Clinical Frailty Scale and EQ-5D-5L will be used to assess frailty and HRQoL, respectively.
