BackgroundAdenomyosis occurs when tissue from the inner lining of the endometrium grows into the muscle wall of the myometrium. Previous studies have suggested that High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) combined with medications may improve treatment outcomes for adenomyosis; however, the comparative efficacy of different medication combinations remains unclear. This network meta-analysis aime…

Rare spinal tumors may present with nonspecific symptoms. This case demonstrates that early recognition and complete surgical excision of spinal tanycytic ependymoma can lead to complete neurological recovery.

Since the introduction of the Da Vinci robotic system, robot-assisted colon resection has gained popularity because of its the potential technical advantages.

There is a stark gap in how often hospitals screen older adults for postoperative delirium, with verified geriatric surgery programs screening nearly every patient while non-accredited programs screen just half, according to new findings published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons.

When doctors discover that one of the heart’s major arteries is completely blocked, it often sounds like very bad news. Coronary arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle, and a blockage can reduce blood flow and damage the heart. For many years, doctors believed that heart muscle located beyond a long-term blockage was often […] The post Hidden Heart ‘Detours’ May Show Which Patients…

An investigator at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has received international recognition for innovative imaging research that may help physicians identify patients at increased risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) before they undergo surgery for kidney tumors.

BackgroundLiposomal bupivacaine (LB) provides prolonged postoperative analgesia. This study aimed to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of erector spinae plane block (ESPB) using LB in patients undergoing spinal surgery.MethodsA total of 64 patients undergoing elective spinal surgery were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive ESPB with 0.44% liposomal bupivacaine (LB group) or 0.4% ropivacaine…

In medical bed safety, the biggest risks are not always found in the biggest components. Sometimes they start with a side rail that bends slightly, a latch that wears over time, a small gap that is difficult to judge by eye, or a bed that behaves differently when moved over a threshold. These details may look minor during initial inspection, but they can directly affect patient safety during real…
