BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic gastrectomy is more frequently associated with postoperative pancreatic fistula than is open gastrectomy. We assumed that compression of the pancreas with various devices to obtain a proper operative view is associated with the higher incidence of PF in LG and that the extent of the compression differs depending on the anatomical position of the pancreas. The present study aimed to elucidate the correlation between the anatomical position of the pancreas and PF after LG for gastric cancer...

BACKGROUND: Pancreas-sparing distal duodenectomy (PSDD) is a favorable option for distal duodenal neoplasms, and its procedure, including the extent of lymphadenectomy, should be modified according to the malignancy of the tumor. However, there are no coherent reports on the details of this procedure or long-term outcomes after each resection. METHODS: This study included 24 patients who underwent PSDD at our institution between January 2009 and October 2020. Patients were divided into two groups according to the tumor progression: nine with (Lv-II) and fifteen without (Lv-I) mesopancreas dissection...

BACKGROUND: Advances in trauma care in high-income countries have significantly reduced late deaths following trauma, challenging the classical trimodal pattern of trauma-associated mortality. While studies from low and middle-income countries have demonstrated that the trimodal pattern is still occurring in many regions, there is a lack of data from sub-Saharan Africa evaluating the temporal epidemiology of trauma deaths. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the trauma registry at Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe, Malawi, including all injured patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) from 2009 to 2021...

BACKGROUND: In early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the receipt of recommended care is critical for long-term survival. Unfortunately, not all patients decide to undergo therapy. We sought to identify factors associated with the decision to decline recommended intervention among patients with early-stage HCC. METHODS: The National Cancer Database was queried for patients diagnosed with clinical stages I and II HCC (2004-2017). Cohorts were created based on the receipt or decline of recommended interventions-hepatectomy, liver transplantation, and ablation...

BACKGROUND: Deaths related to pregnancy and childbirth are extremely high in low-resource countries such as Uganda. Maternal mortality in low- and middle-income countries is related to delays in seeking, reaching, and receiving adequate health care. This study aimed to investigate the in-hospital delays to surgical care for women in labor arriving to Soroti Regional Referral Hospital (SRRH). METHODS: From January 2017 to August 2020, we collected data on obstetric surgical patients in labor using a locally developed, context-specific obstetrics surgical registry...

BACKGROUND: In 2021, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti resulting in a surge of orthopaedic trauma requiring immediate surgical treatment. Safe and efficient operative management of orthopaedic trauma injuries requires intraoperative fluoroscopy through C-arm machines. The Haitian Health Network (HHN) received a philanthropic donation of three C-arm machines and considered an analytical tool may guide efficacious placement of those machines. The study objective was to develop and apply a clinical needs and hospital readiness measuring tool relevant to C-arm machines, which may guide decision-makers, such as HHN, in response to an emergency situation with a surge in need for orthopaedic treatment...

BACKGROUND: Clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) occurs in 15-20% of patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and reintervention in the setting of Grade C POPF remains associated with a mortality rate of up to 25%. In patients at high risk of POPF, PD with external wirsungostomy (EW) could be a safe alternative that avoids pancreatico-enteric anastomosis while preserving the remnant pancreas. METHODS: Of the 155 consecutive patients who underwent PD from November 2015 to December 2020, 10 patients were managed using an EW, all with a fistula risk score (FRS) ≥ 7 and BMI ≥30 kg/m2 , and/or major associated abdominal surgery...
