INTRODUCTION: Preperitoneal pelvic packing for early pelvic haemorrhage control reduces mortality. Bleeding noted with pelvis fractures is predominantly due to associated venous complex injuries. More studies are advocating for angiography as first-line therapy for haemodynamic instability in pelvic fractures; however, these facilities are not in abundance in middle- and low-income countries. We hypothesized that PPP improves outcomes under these circumstances. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of data from the patients charts over a period of 16 years from 01 January, 2005 to 31 December, 2020...

The burn wound healing process can be protracted due to various factors, including burn depth, infection and hypergranulation. Hypergranulation impedes epithelialisation macroscopically by preventing cellular migration across the wound bed and microscopically through cell-to-cell signal interferences. Debridement, which is the act of removing necrotic tissue, hypergranulation, slough and foreign debris from the wound in order to expose the underlying viable bed, can be achieved using various techniques. This aids with wound bed preparation to facilitate and expedite healing...

BACKGROUND: Feeding jejunostomy (JT) tubes are often utilized as an adjunct to optimize nutrition for successful esophagectomy; however, their utility has come into question. The aim of this study was to evaluate utilization and outcomes associated with JTs in a nationwide cohort of patients undergoing esophagectomy. METHODS: The NSQIP database was queried for patients who underwent elective esophagectomy. JT utilization was assessed between 2010 and 2019. Post-operative outcomes were compared between those with and without a JT on patients with esophagectomy-specific outcomes (2016-2019), with results validated using a propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis based on key clinicopathologic factors, including tumor stage...

BACKGROUND: Whole pancreas transplantation provides durable glycemic control and can improve survival rate; however, it can carry an increased risk of surgical complications. One devastating complication is a duodenal leak at the site of enteroenteric anastomosis. The gastroduodenal artery (GDA) supplies blood to the donor duodenum and pancreas but is commonly ligated during procurement. Since we have not had expressive changes in pancreatic back table surgical techniques in the recent decades, we hypothesized whether back table GDA reconstruction, improving perfusion of the donor duodenum and head of the pancreas, could lead to fewer surgical complications in simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplants...
