Safety and Efficacy of Mitoxantrone Hydrochloride Injection for Identification of Axillary Sentinel Lymph Nodes in Patients with Primary Breast Cancer
ConclusionWe have found that the MHI technique is still inferior to the combined radioactive directed technique and patent blue V dye in SLN identification. Yet, it may serve as a safe and reliable alternative in cases where the radioactive technique is unavailable. (Source: World Journal of Surgery)

Tracking the Trauma Epidemic in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
ConclusionsThe burden of trauma in KZN remains high. The unique feature of this burden is the excessively high rate of intentional trauma in the form of both blunt and penetrating mechanisms. Developing injury-prevention strategies to reduce the burden of interpersonal violence is more difficult than for unintentional trauma. (Source: World Journal of Surgery)

C-Reactive Protein as a Negative Predictive Marker for Anastomotic Leakage After Minimally Invasive Esophageal Surgery
ConclusionsCRP on postoperative day 5 can be used as a negative predictor for and can be used as a marker to raise suspicion of anastomotic leakage following esophagectomy for esophageal cancer. When CRP exceeds 120 mg/L on postoperative day 5, additional investigations should be considered. (Source: World Journal of Surgery)

Early Postoperative Results after Thymectomy for Thymic Cancer: A Single-Institution Experience
ConclusionsExtended resections are related to a higher incidence of PC, while VATS and RATS guarantee a lower incidence of PC and shorter postoperative stay even in patients that require extended resections. Symptomatic myasthenia patients might have a higher risk toward more severe complications. (Source: World Journal of Surgery)
