Newest firstBackground Cholecystolithiasis is the most common disease of the gallbladder. Both acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis (AOSC) and gallstone ileus are critical clinical conditions requiring urgent intervention. However, their synchronous occurrence, particularly in elderly patients, presents a significant therapeutic challenge. In such scenarios, an optimal treatment strategy is essential to ensure patient sa…
Open article record in new tab ↗ObjectivesFeline osteoarthritis (OA) is a common, degenerative joint condition that is an important cause of chronic pain in cats. Cannabinoids have shown potential in reducing pain and inflammation in OA, but research in cats is limited. This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of a cannabidiol (CBD)/cannabidiol acid (CBDA) paste would in cats with OA. We hypothesised that CBD/CBDA paste would reduce pa…
Biliary complications after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLTx) have a high incidence with inherent risks. Given the rise of obesity and subsequent bariatric surgery, there are new challenges for management, particularly in the setting of bypass anatomy, which is not well described. Trans-gastric remnant endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (TG-ERCP) is a novel technique that could evolve into a prim…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Over the past 20 years, one-stage laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) combined with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has gained wide acceptance for the management of cholecystocholedocholithiasis (CCL). Despite this, the two-stage endo-laparoscopic approach, consisting of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) followed by LC, remains the most commonly used strategy. This st…
Introduction and importance Cocaine, the second most abused drug in Morocco after cannabis, has been associated with multiple cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and digestive complications. Colonic perforation following cocaine abuse is relatively lesser-known and requires attention as abuse rates are increasing, and existing evidence is scarce. Only a few cases have been reported in medical literature. Case presen…
Open article record in new tab ↗The aim of this study was to evaluate the perioperative analgesic and sedative effects of oral CBD in cats undergoing ovariohysterectomy. Twenty-two cats were assigned to receive either oral cannabidiol oil (2 mg/kg, CBD group, n = 12) or placebo oil (0.1 mL/kg, Placebo group, n = 10) 60 min before the premedication. The anesthetic protocol included dexmedetomidine/meperidine, propofol, and isoflurane. Intravenous…
Open article record in new tab ↗Common bile duct (CBD) exploration and T-tube drainage are the main surgical methods for the removal of bile duct stones (BDSs), which can now be completed by laparoscopy. However, the feasibility and safety of primary closure of the CBD (PCCBD) in laparoscopic CBD exploration (LCBDE) without biliary drainage are still uncertain. From January 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022, patients who were diagnosed with BDSs and und…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has deeply affected medical practice, and changes in healthcare activities were needed to minimize the overload and avoid healthcare systems collapse. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the pandemic on surgical procedures in Brazil. Materials and MethodsWe conducted a descriptive study of the number of hospitalizations for surgical procedures in Brazil from 2016 to…
Open article record in new tab ↗Structured AbstractO_ST_ABSObjectivesC_ST_ABSWe sought to assess the rate of unplanned hospital visits among patients undergoing ambulatory surgery. Summary Background DataThe majority of surgeries performed in the United States now take place in outpatient settings. Post-discharge hospital visit rates have been shown to vary widely, suggesting variation in surgical or discharge care quality. Complicating efforts…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background/aims The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the clinical and demographical characteristics of gallstone disease in Korea, based on 30 years of surgically treated patients at a single institute. Methods In total, 7,949 gallstone patients who underwent surgery between 1981 and 2010 were analyzed. Patients were divided into six time periods: period I (1981 to 1985, n=831), period II (1986 to 1…
