The purpose of this paper is to review the available literature on postoperative tetanus following abdominal surgery, including its incidence, risk factors, clinical features, management, and outcomes. A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Lilacs, and Google Scholar databases was conducted using relevant keywords (“Tetanus,” “abdominal surgery,” “Postoperative”), and a total of 1.182 articles were identified for review, with 11 being selected. The incidence of postoperative tetanus following abdominal surgery is very low, with only a few case reports published in the literature. Most cases occurred in patients with risk factors such as chronic alcoholism, diabetes, and malnutrition. The clinical presentation of postoperative tetanus can be variable, ranging from mild symptoms such as muscle stiffness and spasm to severe features such as respiratory failure and cardiac arrest. The diagnosis of postoperative tetanus is primarily clinical and is based on characteristic symptoms and signs. Treatment involves prompt administration of tetanus immunoglobulin, wound debridement, and supportive care. In conclusion, postoperative tetanus following abdominal surgery is a rare but severe complication that requires immediate recognition and management. Clinicians should be aware of the risk factors for tetanus and take appropriate preventive measures, such as preoperative vaccination, in high-risk patients.","PeriodicalId":326011,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Surgery Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133289191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study is to review prior research, summarise the current knowledge and controversies related to seasonal variability of acute cholecystitis and to examine whether acute cholecystitis has a seasonal pattern. Material and methods: Studies analysing the seasonal variation of acute cholecystitis were identified from PubMed, Cochrane library and Google Scholar from 1990 to July 2021 with key words. The search was restricted to articles published in English. The references of the identified papers for further relevant publications were also reviewed. Result: Twelve studies were conducted between the period from 1990 to 2021 from 9 countries around the world (Saudi Arabia, England, Pakistan, Iran, USA, Taiwan and Germany) were reviewed. Acute cholecystitis predominantly peaks during summer season in the revised literature from the studied countries apart from Germany. Cholecystitis occurred more frequently in females in England, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran and Taiwan. Few studies analysed the association of acute cholecystitis and age; in England and Taiwan it was more common among older patients. Conclusion: Acute cholecystitis is more common in the summer months. Resource allocation towards the summer months to target seasonal peaks in acute cholecystitis should be considered.","PeriodicalId":326011,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Surgery Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132903181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Use of VTE risk assessment to guide pharmacological prophylaxis could mitigate this danger. However, currently there is no accepted management of VTE risk in these, usually fit, ambulatory patients. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed our use of Worcester score (VTE risk assessment tool) in all patients who underwent endovenous thermal ablation using the bipolar radiofrequency device (radiofrequency induced thermal therapy, RFITT) from January 2013 to December 2018. All cases were performed by a single Vascular consultant at a single NHS trust. Patient demographics, treatment parameters and VTE prophylaxis method were retrospectively analysed from a prospectively collected database. Results: 481 patients who underwent RF ablation between 2013 and 2018 were assessed. There were no clinical or duplex detected DVTs. 436 patients (90.6%) had a Worcester score of ‘0’ and were not given any additional pharmaco-prophylaxis. 42 patients (8.8%) had positive scores and were treated with extended anticoagulation. Of the 42 patients, 18 (40%) scored 1 and were given 7 days of additional prophylaxis and 24 (60%) scored 2 or more and were treated for two or more weeks. Conclusions: VTE is a life-threatening complication of ambulatory endovenous treatment. The current state of pharmacological thromboprophylaxis practice is highly variable and subjective. A selective VTE prevention strategy which involves risk-assessing all patients for VTE and managing those at increased risk with additional anticoagulant prophylaxis extended into the post-procedure period is a safe and effective strategy based on our experience.","PeriodicalId":326011,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Surgery Research and Practice","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124436678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
