Abstract Aim The open abdomen (OA) is a surgical technique originally employed in critically traumatic patients, and later extended to other non-traumatic aetiologies, mostly peritonitis, vascular emergencies, or acute pancreatitis. Indications results of OA patients have not been rigorously described. study aimed analyse report indications, prognostic factors mortality, the outcomes with emphasis on peritonitis. Methods Single-center retrospective 94 from 2008 2021. decision perform relied...
Abstract Introduction The daily reevaluation of the need to continue with postoperative antibiotic treatment in intra-abdominal infection is one strategies reduce resistance our environment, since it avoids selection resistant bacterial strains. Thus, limiting duration useful deleterious effects antimicrobials on patient, avoiding adverse derived from them. Material and methods An observational, single-center retrospective study was proposed result not having strict guidelines for case...
Abstract Background Acute skin and soft tissue infections (ASSTIs) represent a common reason for attending emergency department (ED) hospitalization. We investigate characteristics of cohort ASSTIs-patients comparing patients managed with hospitalization versus outpatients. Methods Retrospective study all consecutive adults who consulted to an ED due ASSTIs. Setting: Hospital del Mar (Barcelona, Spain). Period: January 2018–December 2020. Sample size (320) was calculated detect 10%...
Abstract Purpose Although mortality and morbidity of severe acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC) are still a matter concern, the impact inadequate empirical antibiotic therapy has been poorly studied as risk factor. The objective was to assess adequacy on complication rates in ACC. Methods This observational retrospective cohort chart-based single-center study conducted between 2012 2016. A total 963 consecutive patients were included, pure ACC selected. General, clinical, postoperative,...
Abstract Background Acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC) is the second most frequent surgical condition in emergency departments. The recommended treatment early laparoscopic cholecystectomy; however, Tokyo Guidelines (TG) advocate for different initial treatments some subgroups of patients without a strong evidence that all will benefit from them. There no clear consensus literature about who unfit patient treatment. primary aim study to identify risk factors mortality ACC and compare them...
Abstract Background Prevention of incisional hernias with a prophylactic mesh in emergency surgery is controversial. The present study aimed to analyze the long-term results used for preventing hernia after midline laparotomies. Methods This was registered (NCT04578561) retrospective analysis patients who underwent an laparotomy between January 2009 and July 2010 follow-up period longer than 2 years. Long-term outcomes risk factors development received reinforcement (Group M) suture S) were...
SUMMARY The present study investigated the time of male sexual maturation during which hypothalamic inhibitory opioid activity can be detected. Normal prepubertal (Tanner stage G 1 (Ts‐G1) ( n =4)), early pubertal (Ts‐G2 =5)), (Ts‐G3 =4), and Ts‐G4 =2)) adult subjects (Ts‐G5 =4)) receives a rapid infusion selective opiate antagonist nalocone (NAL) (20 mg over 10 min). LH secretion was assessed by frequent (every min for 2 h) venous sampling before after administration blocker, as well...
A non-systematic review of the published scientific evidence has been carried out on duration empirical antibiotic treatment in surgical intra-abdominal infections (IIA) with effective focus control. Given progressive increase resistance, it is urgent to have strategies reduce pressure microbiota. The American guidelines made by Mazuski et al. 20171, as central axis recommendations control and a bibliographic search all articles that contained keywords Pubmed Google Scholar added. 21...
BACKGROUND Delaying initiation of tacrolimus after liver transplantation (LT) is a potential renal-sparing strategy. We assessed safety and efficacy delayed prolonged-release (PR-T) in de novo LT. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was single-center, single-arm, prospective, 12-month observational study hepatitis C virus-negative orthotopic LT patients. Immunosuppression included PR-T (initially 0.1 or 0.2 mg/kg/day) initiated on Day 3 post LT, basiliximab (20 mg) post-transplantation 0 4,...
ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Hernias, particularly groin hernias, are prevalent surgical pathologies worldwide, often necessitating surgery in cases of complications. This study investigates the safety and efficacy performing bilateral inguinal hernioplasty when one side faces complications, addressing lack consensus emergency hernia treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective, single-center spanning a duration 10 years was conducted, including adult patients who underwent for hernia....
