BackgroundPerioperative hypothermia is common during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes. Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) is a noninvasive ne...

Abstract Background The arthroscopic posterior transseptal approach (TSA) allows improved visualization of the posterior compartment of the knee joint. However, it can be associated with increased risks particularly rega...

IntroductionTumor complexity scoring supports preoperative planning for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN), but evidence in larger tumors is limited. We evaluated whether PADUA and RENAL nephrometry scores are ass...

Abstract Background Postoperative complications of mediastinal tumors significantly impact patients’ quality of life and long-term outcomes; however, a notable gap in the development of predictive tools for their occur...

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...

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 Cardiac catheterizations in horses are mainly performed in the right heart, as access to the left heart traditionally requires an arterial approach. Transseptal puncture (TSP) has been adapted for hor...

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), ...

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: Periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is technically demanding with an assumed steep learning curve. This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated how surgeon experience influences operative efficiency, perioperative...

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 ...

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...

Abstract Background Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) confers a markedly increased lifetime risk of breast and ovarian cancers. As no effective surveillance method for early detection of ovarian cancer has been...

Preservation of pelvic perfusion during endovascular repair of aortoiliac aneurysmal disease is clinically significant, especially in patients with contralateral internal iliac artery (IIA) occlusion. Although iliac bran...

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...

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the incidence and risk factors for acute renal failure (ARF) and also the associated hazard of death in recipients of cardiac transplants. MATERIAL and METHODS: We included 25 patientsin the st...

ABSTRACT Objective Subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy (SSO) with autogenous cortical plate grafting is a critical but technically demanding procedure in total hip arthroplasty for Crowe type IV developmental dysplasia ...

Introduction Osteoarthritis is a frequent degenerative joint disease, affecting older individuals in particular. When non-surgical treatment options are no longer effective or warranted, surgical options include single c...

Abstract Background Impacted upper ureteral stones pose a significant risk of ureteral injury and stricture formation during ureteroscopic procedures. The Flexible and Navigable Suction Ureteral Access Sheath (FANS) inte...

Abstract Background Management of upper urinary tract stones with moderate-to-severe hydronephrosis remains challenging due to altered renal anatomy and higher complication risks. Flexible negative-pressure ureteral shea...

Abstract Background This study compared the clinical performance of 7.5 F and 9 F digital flexible ureteroscopes in sheathless retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS), with a particular focus on how ureteroscope caliber i...

Abstract Objective To analyze the impact of portal vein resection (PVR) and hepatic artery resection (HAR) on the short-term and long-term outcomes of patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma after surgery. Methods A compr...

Background: Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder that presents challenges for total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to its effects on cardiovascular, metabolic, and immune systems. Prior studies associate hypothyroid...

Abstract Background Lung cancer surgery in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is frequently challenged by late-stage presentation, high comorbidity burden, and limited healthcare resources. Although video-assisted ...
