I was primed to sweat my way through a high-stakes procedure. But once the patient was sedated, a welcome warmth entered the room Read more in this series here I’ve had quite a few surgical procedures over the years but one always sticks in my mind. The 7am arrival to hospital, the injustice of being deprived a morning coffee in the name of “fasting”, the apprehension as I lay on the operating ta…

IntroductionThis study compared the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic cervical cerclage (LAC) and transvaginal cervical cerclage (TVC) in treating cervical insufficiency (CI) patients after hysteroscopic adhesiolysis for intrauterine adhesions (IUA).MethodsA total of 170 eligible patients (66 in the LAC group, 104 in the TVC group) admitted from Jan 2018 to Jan 2024 were retrospectively analyzed,…

ObjectiveCarrier-based local hydromorphone delivery using absorbable materials represents an innovative strategy; however, comparative studies on various carriers remain scarce. This study aims to evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of artificial dura mater versus gelatin sponge as carriers for hydromorphone in patients undergoing posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF).MethodsThis single…

Abstract Artificial intelligence has emerged as a promising approach for improving the detection and management of intraoperative bleeding during conventional and robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery, where delayed recognition of hemorrhage can lead to increased morbidity and procedural complexity. This review synthesizes current evidence on the use of artificial intelligence for intraoperative …

Abstract Background Rehabilitation models following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) vary internationally. The German healthcare system typically involves an initial hospital stay of 8–10 days, followed by a 3-week intensive rehabilitation program, which is delivered in either an inpatient or outpatient setting. Only a few studies have evaluated the outcomes of these two models on functional recover…

Abstract Background Left renal vein (LRV) stenting is used in selected patients with symptomatic Nutcracker syndrome (NCS). Stent migration is uncommon but may be serious, particularly in interventions performed primarily for symptom relief. We report intracardiac migration after combined treatment of NCS-associated pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) and use the event to discuss patient selection, …

Abstract Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a high-volume procedure with relatively short operative times, leaving limited margin for further reduction in mean duration. However, variability in operative performance, compounded by anatomical variation and differing degrees of inflammation, may substantially affect operative duration and operating room efficiency. The Maestro™ Platform is a bedside, …
