BACKGROUND: To evaluate the gastric volume and nature after drinking preoperative oral carbohydrates in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy via ultrasonography. METHODS: One hundred patients who had been scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were enrolled and randomized into the traditional fasting group (Control group, n  = 50) and the carbohydrate group (CHO group, n  = 50). Patients in the Control group fasted solids and drink from midnight, the day before surgery...

The principal benefit of employing percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for managing osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures lies in its capacity to facilitate early mobilization in elderly patients, thereby effectively avoiding the potential catastrophic complications associated with prolonged bedridden states. However, bone cement leakage, as the most common complication of PVP, may have fatal consequences. Here, we report a case involving an 85-year-old male patient with L1 vertebral compression fracture who underwent PVP at our hospital and was discharged on the same day of the surgical intervention...

INTRODUCTION: Given the rising prevalence of chronic liver disease (CLD), it is increasingly important to understand its impact on surgical outcomes. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of CLD on short-term outcomes in patients with colorectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases undergoing simultaneous surgery. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed patients with colorectal cancer and liver metastases who underwent simultaneous resection between January 2013 and June 2022...

Castleman disease is a rare heterogeneous lymphoproliferative disorder of unknown etiology. Unicentric Castleman disease (UCD) is more common. UCD can occur at any site where lymphatic tissue exists, most commonly in the mediastinum, neck, and abdominal cavity, etc. in the current study, we reported a 46-year-old woman, who has left low back pain and discomfort. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the kidneys showed the left renal pelvis was occupied, left hydronephrosis, and the left renal hilum and retroperitoneal lymph nodes were enlarged...

BACKGROUND: The influence of vertebral augmentation on adjacent intervertebral discs remains controversial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of bone cement distribution on adjacent disc degeneration after vertebral augmentation for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs). METHODS: Patients with single level OVCF and upper endplate injury who underwent vertebral augmentation were enrolled. The patients were divided into four groups: Group A: bone cement contacted both the cranial and the distal endplates; Group B: bone cement only contacted the cranial endplate; Group C: bone cement only contacted the distal endplate; and Group D: bone cement contacted neither the cranial nor the distal endplates...

BACKGROUND: Core decompression and allogenic non-vascularized bone grafting are used in the early stage of osteonecrosis of the femoral head for a period. Since the comparison of the core decompression and allogenic non-vascularized bone grafting are less reported, the purpose of our study was to investigate the difference of two procedures in patients with the osteonecrosis of the femoral head. METHODS: Between January 2018 and January 2019, 59 patients (64 hips) were divided into core decompression group and non-vascularized bone grafting group according to their procedures...

BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma is the most common and most aggressive primary brain tumor in adults. Despite multimodal treatment, the median survival time is 15-16 months and 5-year survival rate 5%-10%. The primary goal of this study was to identify prognostic factors for survival in an unselected population of patients operated for glioblastoma. The secondary goal was to explore changes in outcome and the clinical management of this patient group over time. METHODS: We identified 222 consecutive adults operated for glioblastoma between November 2012 and June 2016 at the Department of Neurosurgery, Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, serving a health care region in the western part of Sweden with 1...

Neurosurgical practitioners undergo extensive and prolonged training to acquire diverse technical proficiencies, while neurosurgical procedures necessitate a substantial amount of pre-, post-, and intraoperative clinical data acquisition, making decisions, attention, and convalescence. The past decade witnessed an appreciable escalation in the significance of artificial intelligence (AI) in neurosurgery. AI holds significant potential in neurosurgery as it supplements the abilities of neurosurgeons to offer optimal interventional and non-interventional care to patients by improving prognostic and diagnostic outcomes in clinical therapy and assisting neurosurgeons in making decisions while surgical interventions to enhance patient outcomes...

R Scott Eldredge, Lisa McMahon
INTRODUCTION: The minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (PE) is a painful procedure that can result in long-term hospitalization and opioid use. To mitigate the length of stay and opioid consumption, many different analgesia strategies have been implemented. The aim of this study is to review the use and patient outcomes of intercostal nerve cryoablation (INC) during PE repair reported in the literature. METHODS: An unfunded literature search using PubMed identifying articles discussing INC during PE repair from 1946 to 1 July 2023 was performed...

BACKGROUND: Surgically treated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries may be a waivable condition and allow return to full flight status, but waivers are based on expert opinion rather than recent published data. The purpose of this study was to evaluate return to flight after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in male military aircrews with ACL injuries and to identify factors that affect flight clearance. METHOD: A single-center retrospective review was conducted by the authors for all active-duty aircrew who underwent ACLR at an authorized military medical center from January 2010 to December 2019...

BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE: Tumors of the fourth ventricle account for 1%-5% of all intracranial neoplastic lesions and present with different configurations and anatomical challenges. Microsurgery represents the primary therapeutic strategy for the majority of fourth ventricular tumors, and adequate anatomical understanding and visualization are paramount to surgical planning and success. The authors present the case of a young patient with a complex fourth ventricular tumor, whose surgery was successfully planned using a novel mixed reality (MxR) system...

OBJECTIVE: Patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) tend to be young, tall, and thin, as do those with pectus excavatum (PE). Notably, the Haller index, which measures the severity of PE, tends also to be higher in patients with PSP, further suggesting a potential predisposing factor for the development of PSP in individuals with PE. This study aimed to share clinical experiences with case series of concomitant PSP and PE and to emphasize the importance of evaluating these two conditions together...
