Use of Steatotic Donor Livers for Transplantation: Do They Affect Outcome?
ConclusionSteatosis was associated with older, more obese donors, but did not adversely affect the postoperative outcomes. Steatotic graft recipients had more renal impairment and longer ICU stay. MEAF score might be an accurate method for assessing the early graft function in conjunction with steatosis.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Surgical Practice)

Case report: First case of intracranial abscess treated with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Hong Kong
We report on a 53 year old male suffering from intracranial abscess due to intracranial spread of infection from necrotic tissue in nasopharynx. He was suffering from recurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma with chemoradiotherapy done. Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a new modality of adjunctive treatment available in recent two years in Hong Kong. This patient is the first intracranial abscess patient being treated with HBOT in Hong Kong. We notice a rapid improvement in his cognitive level as well as neurological deficit after a series of 20 HBOT treatment sessions. (Source: Surgical Practice)

Should open repair be the choice in ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm instead of endovascular aortic repair —Experience in a tertiary referral vascular centre
ConclusionProtocol-driven management with AOB involving a multidisciplinary team approach can improve survival and perioperative outcomes in RAAA. In those cases with unfavourable anatomy, open repair should be performed. For those class IIA RAAAs, the method of repair should depend on the anatomy, and whether to use AOB should be an individualised decision. In cases of class IIB RAAAs, routine use of AOB can improve survival. For classes IIC and III, we would offer open repair with mandatory use of AOB employing a damage control approach.
