Intraoperative strategies and techniques to achieve surgical radicality in pancreatic cancer
This article provides an overview of state-of-the-art surgical principles and techniques for achieving surgical radicality in localized pancreatic cancer, with a parti cular emphasis on artery-first approaches, the triangle operation, arterial and venous dissection techniques, including arterial divestment, and the significance of R0 resections with complete lymphadenectomy. By applying these techniques and principles of surgical radicality, surgeons are able to e nhance resectability, minimize complications, and potentially extend patient survival in the rapidly evolving field of multimodal pancreatic cancer management. ...

Comparative analysis of custom-made endograft simulation techniques: physical prototypes versus numerical simulations
ConclusionNumerical simulation with a rigid aorta may be a suitable substitute for traditional test implantation of a non-sterile prototype within a 3D aortic model. This may help reduce time for graft planning and fabrication. The FE analysis with a deformable aorta was able to predict peak-to-peak distances at the proximal seali ng ring more reliably. The effect on clinical outcomes and endoleak occurrence remains to be elucidated in future trials. (Source: European Surgery)

Role of digital infrared thermal imaging in surgical management of fistula-in-ano
This study aimed to assess the usefulness of digital infrared thermal imaging (DITI) for evaluating of fistula-in-ano. DITI monitors infra red radiation emanated by a surface, in this case the perianal skin. The scientific rationale is based on the inflammatory state caused by perianal fistulization. Because one of the pathological findings of inflammation is increased local temperature due to altered blood flow, we hypothesized that by using a contrast agent colder than the human body, the perianal fistula tract could be visualized by DITI cameras. A protocol and simple diagnostic algorithm for evaluation of perianal f...

Bariatrisch-metabolische Operationstechniken
ZusammenfassungBariatrisch-metabolische Operationen gelten als die effektivste Therapiem öglichkeit der morbiden Adipositas. In Langzeitstudien konnten sehr gute Erfolge bei der Reduktion des Übergewichts und bei der Behandlung Adipositas-assoziierter Komorbiditäten (u. a. arterielle Hypertonie, Diabetes mellitus Typ 2) gezeigt werden. Die bariatrischen Operationstechniken beruhen auf dem Wirkungsprinzip der Restriktion und Malabsorption. Die damit verbundenen metabolischen Effekte, die z. T. unabhängig vom Gewichtsverlust und der Kalorienreduktion schon früh postoperativ einsetzen, werden derzeit intensiv befors...

Acute mechanical intestinal obstruction due to lung cancer metastasis
ConclusionPatients presenting with small bowel metastasis from primary lung cancer often present with severe complications such as perforation, hemorrhage, or obstruction, since the diagnosis is delayed. Metastasis should be included in the differential diagnosis in patients presenting with acute mechanical bowel obstruction and the work-up should include CT of the thorax, abdomen, and pelvis to rule out primary tumor.

Quality assurance in surgery —a moral obligation
ConclusionDespite complex conditions inherent to medical quality-controlled documentation, it has been shown that a quality-controlled, audit-capable registry (qcRegistry) can be successfully implemented across all aspects of surgical practice in a tertiary care surgery department.
