Abstract Background Ileus is common after elective colorectal surgery, and associated with increased adverse events prolonged hospital stay. The aim was to assess the role of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for reducing ileus surgery. Methods A prospective multicentre cohort study delivered by an international, student- trainee-led collaborative group. Adult patients undergoing resection between January April 2018 were included. primary outcome time gastrointestinal recovery,...
The primary aim of this single‐center, phase 1 exploratory study was to investigate the safety, feasibility, and impact on intrahepatic hemodynamics a fresh frozen plasma (FFP)–based perfusate in ex situ liver normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) preservation. Using an institutionally developed device, 21 livers (13 donations after brain death 8 circulatory death) were perfused for 3 hours minutes 7 52 successfully transplanted. Outcomes compared 1:4 ratio historical control patients matched...
Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) offers a safe alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA), but severe calcification is currently considered contraindication in stenting. This study aims describe the safety and effectiveness of TCAR with intravascular lithotripsy (IVL) patients traditionally prohibitive calcific disease.
Abstract Background Ileus is common after colorectal surgery and associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications. Identifying features normal bowel recovery the appropriateness for hospital discharge challenging. This study explored safety before return function. Methods A prospective, multicentre cohort was undertaken across international collaborative network. Adult patients undergoing elective resection between January April 2018 were included. The main outcome interest...
Abstract Standard electrochemotherapy (ECT) is effective in many tumour types but confined to the treatment of small superficial lesions. Variable electrode-geometry ECT (VEG-ECT) may overcome these limitations by using long freely-placeable electrodes. Patients with bulky or deep-seated soft-tissue malignancies not amenable resection participated a single-arm phase-2 study (ISRCTN.11667954) and received single course VEG-ECT intravenous bleomycin (15,000 IU/m 2 ) concomitant electric pulses...
The genetic architecture of bone and soft tissue sarcomas susceptibility is yet to be elucidated. We aimed comprehensively collect meta-analyze the current knowledge on in these rare tumors.We conducted a systematic review meta-analysis evidence association between DNA variation risk developing through searching PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus Web Science databases. To evaluate result credibility, summary was graded according Venice criteria false positive report probability (FPRP)...
The utilization of split liver grafts can increase access to transplantation (LT) for adult patients, particularly when are shared between 2 recipients. However, it is yet be determined whether (SLT) increases the risk biliary complications (BCs) compared with whole (WLT) in This retrospective study enrolled 1441 patients who underwent deceased donor LT at a single-site January 2004 and June 2018. Of those, 73 SLTs. Graft type SLT includes 27 right trisegment grafts, 16 left lobes, 30 lobes....
The objective is to describe a novel funnel technique for modifying an aortobiiliac cadaveric homograft so that longer length achieved and allows gradual transition in diameter inferior vena cava (IVC) reconstruction following oncologic resection. A 32-year-old man with history of mixed germ cell testicular cancer stage IIc retroperitoneal metastases, prior right orchiectomy, lymph node dissection (RPLND) was found have recurrence after first- second-line chemotherapy the left iliac...
The safety of laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) has been widely documented, but its challenging learning curve (LC) requires an insightful assessment to expand application. aim this study was evaluate LC LDN in a high-volume transplant center.Three hundred forty-three LDNs performed from 2001 2018 were evaluated. CUSUM analysis based on the operative time used assess number cases required reach mastery technique for both entire surgical team and 3 main surgeons considered separately....
Marfan syndrome was first described in 1896 and is now known to be an autosomal dominant disorder present 1 of every 5000 live births.

Chronic iliocaval long segment occlusions significantly impact quality of life and present several challenges. These challenges include the fact that intimal hyperplasia is more pronounced in venous system no current covered stents are approved for treatment chronic occlusions, as well difficulty establishing adequate inflow outflow. Since low flow, it naturally predisposed towards thrombogenicity, which an additional hurdle this clinical entity. When important vessels involved, decision to...
