The average age was 5.74 ± 7.27 months for AH. Our AH cases were seen in males and on the right side. AH is seen in 97.3% of males according to a review of 69 articles. The average age was 16.78 ± 30.46 months. One hundred sixty-five of the AH cases were on the right (88.7%). The main symptoms were swelling or redness in the inguinal region, pain, fever, and vomiting, along with patients presenting septic or with stercoral fistula.Conclusion: If the appendix is normal and easily reduced, high ligation is sufficient. In cases where reduction is difficult and/or the appendix is inflamed, appendectomy and hospitalization should be performed.","PeriodicalId":8071,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Surgical Treatment and Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11473321/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142456657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Total 1-day perioperative completion (TODPC) involves conducting preoperative evaluations, performing the operation, and facilitating discharge within a single day. This study aimed to evaluate the safety of TODPC in reducing perioperative contact by utilizing online and telephone appointment systems for inguinal hernia (IH) repairs.Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed data from patients who underwent IH repairs. The study was divided into 2 periods relative to the COVID-19 pandemic: 18 months pre-pandemic (Group 1, September 2018-February 2020) and 18 months post-pandemic onset (Group 2, March 2020-August 2021). We compared the frequency of TODPC, daycare surgeries (which require hospital visits for preoperative evaluations and admission on the day of surgery), preoperative contacts, hernia types, incarcerations, organ resections, and instances of COVID-19 transmission among medical staff and patients.Results: The study included 5,728 participants, comprising 4,614 pediatric and 1,114 adult patients. The rate of TODPC implementation was higher in Group 2 than in Group 1 (91.0% vs. 75.0%, P < 0.001). The incidence of organ resections was low and did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. Throughout the study, there were no reported nosocomial COVID-19 infections among patients, parents, caregivers, or medical staff.Conclusion: TODPC for IH repair was a safe strategy for minimizing the need for organ resections and reducing the risk of mass COVID-19 infections during the pandemic period from March 2020 to August 2021.","PeriodicalId":8071,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Surgical Treatment and Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11473318/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142456659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently available pain-recovery treatments have patient safety concerns. This led to a noninferiority study of Welpass (Genewel Co., Ltd.) vs. On-Q PainBuster (B. Braun), each used alongside a traditional method of continuous local anesthetic administration, in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.Methods: In this single-center prospective randomized clinical trial, patients were assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the treatment group (Welpass) and the control group (On-Q PainBuster), with ketorolac administered as needed after surgery according to the protocol. To assess efficacy, the total amount of ketorolac used up to 72 hours postoperatively was measured. Additionally, ketorolac usage and numerical rating scales (NRS) were recorded at 6, 24, 48, and 72 hours after operation.Results: The total amounts of ketorolac used in the 72 hours postoperatively were 188.0 ± 84.6 mg in the treatment group and 198.7 ± 50.0 mg in the control group. The efficacy of the treatment group was noninferior to that of the control group, since the lower limit (-29.9 mg) of the confidence interval for the difference with the control group was greater than the prespecified noninferiority margin (-35.0 mg). Furthermore, when the NRS was evaluated after bariatric surgery, there was no significant difference in scores between the 2 groups at each time point (P > 0.05).Conclusion: We found no difference in effect on pain between the 2 groups, supporting the use of Welpass in clinical practice for pain management in patients undergoing bariatric surgery.","PeriodicalId":8071,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Surgical Treatment and Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11473320/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142456654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The patients were divided into the AR/LAR (n = 846) and RHC (n = 366) groups. The optimal WT was determined using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and validated using logistic regression models. The adenoma and advanced neoplasia detection rates (ADR/ANDR) were evaluated based on the optimal WT.Results: The optimal WT was 7 and 6 minutes in the AR/LAR and RHC groups, respectively. In multivariate analysis, WT ≥7 and ≥6 minutes in the AR/LAR (odds ratio [OR], 2.38; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.75-3.24; P < 0.001) and RHC (OR, 2.64; 95% CI, 1.59-4.39; P = 0.001) groups, respectively, were significant factors for adenoma detection. In the AR/LAR group, ADR was 41.5% for WT ≥7 minutes compared to 21.9% for WT <7 minutes (P < 0.001). In the RHC group, ADR for WT ≥6 minutes was 33.9% compared to 15.8% for WT <6 minutes (P < 0.001). The ANDR also significantly improved with longer WTs in both groups.Conclusion: This study suggests that a minimum WT of 7 and 6 minutes for AR/LAR and RHC patients, respectively, during the initial surveillance colonoscopy after CRC resection is optimal for maintaining a satisfactory ADR and ANDR. These findings highlight the importance of tailoring colonoscopic procedures according to the type of surgical resection.","PeriodicalId":8071,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Surgical Treatment and Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11473322/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142456658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Febrile neutropenia (FN) is the most important clinical adverse event in patients with cancer receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy.

We aimed to compare the incidence of FN between the pre-coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) era vs. the post-COVID-19 era.Methods: We retrospectively enrolled patients with breast cancer who received an adriamycin and cyclophosphamide (AC) regimen containing adjuvant chemotherapy at Jeju National University Hospital. We compared the incidence of FN between the pre- and post-COVID-19 period and analyzed characteristics of the event and other clinical risk factors.Results: In total, 149 patients were enrolled, including 94 who received AC chemotherapy in the pre-COVID-19 era and 55 who received it in the post-COVID-19 era. Sixteen patients (10.7%) experienced FN. Fourteen (14.9%) and 2 events (3.6%) occurred in pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 eras, respectively. The post-COVID-19 era was the only risk factor for FN (P = 0.032).Conclusion: We found an association between FN occurrence and the COVID-19 outbreak, providing indirect evidence of the importance of non-pharmacological measures to reduce FN risk in patients with breast cancer.

In this study, we aimed to determine the relationship between SO and immediate postoperative complications.Methods: From January 2005 to December 2019, the medical records of patients who underwent PD for periampullary cancer were retrospectively reviewed. Skeletal muscle index (SMI) and visceral fat area (VFA) were calculated from preoperative computed tomography images. Patients with high VFA were classified as obese, while those with low SMI were classified as sarcopenic. Patients were divided into 4 groups: normal group, sarcopenia only group, obesity only group, and SO group. Postoperative outcomes were compared between groups, and factors affecting postoperative complications were analyzed by multivariate analysis.Results: Normal group (n = 176), sarcopenia only group (n = 130), obesity only group (n = 207), and SO group (n = 117) were analyzed retrospectively.
