Caring for kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) requires specialized knowledge in areas as varied as nephrology, immunology, pharmacology, endocrinology, infectious disease, and cardiology. In this context of increasing c...

Opioid-free Anaesthesia (OFA) for craniotomy is a method employed increasingly for intraoperative and postoperative pain management with reduced opioid side-effects. Standard opioid regimens, although best for analgesia,...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains the dominant histologic subtype of primary liver cancer and a major cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Its epidemiology continues to evolve, with metabolic dysfunction-associated ...

Background: While the S-enantiomer of Ketamine (S-Ketamine) is described to be more potent than the racemic form (Ra-Ketamine), with a shorter half-life and almost no side effects, both forms have never been compared in ...

ObjectivesWith the continuous increase in surgical volume in China and the relative shortage of anesthesiologists, anesthesia nurses (ANs) play an increasingly critical role in perioperative care, particularly in the Pos...

BackgroundSurgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP) is an essential part of perioperative care, yet adherence to recommended practices varies across surgical categories. Differences in antibiotic choice and duration between ...

Background and aimCardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with a high rate of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs). Mechanical power (MP) represents energy per breath multiplied by re...

Abstract Background Adrenaline is an emergency medication used in critical situations. However data on its early adverse events after intravenous injection are limited. Therefore, the goal of this study is to describe th...

Hip fractures in the elderly represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. A considerable proportion of these patients are on antiplatelet medications, such as aspirin (Ecospirin) and clopidogrel (Clopitab), ...

Background: Unanticipated difficult airways are an important cause of perioperative morbidity. No single bedside airway assessment test reliably predicts difficult intubation; therefore, combining simple predictors may i...

Abstract Background Safe anesthesia is fundamental to safe surgery and depends on facility readiness, team behaviors, and consistent adherence to safety standards such as the World Health Organization (WHO) Surgical Safe...

Aims: Preoperative education is routinely integrated into enhanced recovery pathways for hip and knee arthroplasty, yet its independent effect on early outcomes remains uncertain. This study examined whether completion o...

BackgroundHip fractures in older adults are costly and often fatal. Cognitive impairment (CI) complicates pain assessment, raises delirium risk, and hinders early mobilization and rehabilitation. This review synthesizes ...

Volume 11 (2025) of SICOT-J showcases high-quality global orthopaedic research spanning spine, trauma, arthroplasty, sports, and perioperative care. Through impactful original studies, reviews, and editorials, the volume...

BackgroundTraditional perioperative metrics such as complication rates and length of stay (LOS) are fragmented and fail to capture the “ideal” recovery trajectory. “Textbook outcome” (TO) has emerged as a composi...

Aim: This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of cemented versus cementless femoral stems in patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty for femoral neck fractures.Material and Methods: This study incl...

Abstract Background Intertrochanteric femoral fractures are common in the elderly population and are associated with substantial mortality. While fracture reduction quality is known to influence mechanical outcomes, its ...

Abstract Background Delayed ambulation recovery following major abdominal surgery presents a significant prognostic challenge, contributes to increased morbidity, mortality, and prolonged hospital stay. Despite recommend...

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the most aggressive malignancies, with overall survival outcomes that have improved only modestly in recent years. Careful preoperative evaluation is essential for d...

Patients undergoing major surgical operations are under risk of developing acute renal failure postoperatively. Risk factors for developing postoperative renal failure may be classified as: patient risk factors and surgi...
