Retrospective multi-center study of robotic-assisted cholecystectomy: after-hours surgery and business-hours surgery outcomes
AbstractThe effect of robotic-assisted cholecystectomy (RAC), when performed after hours, on perioperative outcomes has not been evaluated against outcomes achieved during normal business hours. Subjects 18 –80 years old who underwent da Vinci robotic-assisted cholecystectomy from August 2018 to February 2021 were included. Baseline and 30-day perioperative outcomes were retrospectively and consecutively collected and analyzed. Inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW) was performed to balance patient characteristics between groups. A weighted comparative analysis was followed. Outcomes from 505 patients (after hou...

Clinical experience of late presentation and major limb complication of Snake bite: A case report and review
Key Clinical MessageSnakebite is a significant global public health concern. Venomous snake bites can lead to various life-threatening clinical conditions that affect different bodily systems. These include the nervous system (neurotoxicity), musculoskeletal system (myotoxicity), cardiovascular system (cardiotoxicity), and blood clotting mechanisms (haemotoxicity). Here, we report a 5-year-old boy who was bitten by a snake and presented to the Emergency department with complaints of significant infection, necrosis, and gangrene affecting the three fingers of his right hand. After clinical evaluation and investigations, the...
