Many surgeons routinely place intraperitoneal drains after elective colorectal surgery. However, enhanced recovery surgery guidelines recommend against their routine use owing to a lack of clear clinical benefit. This study aimed describe international variation in drain placement and the safety this practice.COMPASS (COMPlicAted intra-abdominal collectionS Surgery) was prospective, international, cohort which enrolled consecutive adults undergoing (February March 2020). The primary outcome...

<h3>Introduction and objectives</h3> Unexplained haemoptysis is a red-flag symptom prompting CT imaging to exclude lung cancer. Patients with normal scans often undergo bronchoscopy despite evidence suggesting the yield minimal.<sup>1</sup> We sought determine if thorax was sufficient diagnosis of thoracic malignancy. <h3>Methods</h3> retrospectively analysed patients referred our fast-track service between 2008–2016 identified 834 presenting haemoptysis, including 370 from previous...
Abstract Introduction Accurate manoeuvring of the Sylvian fissure borders to provide an optimal operating corridor is vital for minimising retraction. The anatomy can pose technical challenges impacting overall success procedure. Yaşargil previously proposed a classification distinguishing four anatomical variants correlating with surgical difficulty. We aim utilise open-source Human Connectome Project MRI data set computational based on morphology. Method MR images 2226 hemispheres were...
Abstract Introduction Studies have shown that men are more likely to sustain head injuries (HI) due a higher likelihood of participation in high-risk behaviours. However, the COVID-19 lockdown caused substantial alterations daily routines Welsh population. We aimed describe demographical changes HI patients by this large-scale restriction public social activity. Method A retrospective review our neurosurgical referral database was performed between 1/1/19 31/12/20 extract patient...
Abstract We aim to evaluate whether intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sampling during ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt insertion can predict future infection or guide its management, as there is currently no evidence for this. 83 paediatric patients undergoing VP between February 2013 and July 2019 were retrospectively identified. Patient demographics, presence of pre-operative extra ventricular drain (EVD), CSF results, intra-operative results All followed up a minimum 6 months...
