Its association with systemic sclerosis, a connective tissue disorder, remains rare and poorly understood, presenting unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted, analysing 34 documented cases of pneumatosis intestinalis associated with systemic sclerosis, examining demographic profiles, clinical features, diagnostic findings, and outcomes of various management strategies.Results: Pneumatosis intestinalis in systemic sclerosis predominantly occurs in older female patients and is associated with gastrointestinal dysmotility and microvascular damage. Symptoms range from asymptomatic presentations to severe abdominal pain with obstructive symptoms, with the latter increasing the likelihood of surgical intervention. Non-operative management, encompassing antibiotic therapy, oxygen supplementation, and dietary modifications, was associated with favourable outcomes and the lowest mortality. In contrast, surgical intervention, often necessitated by suspected ischemia or perforation, was associated with significantly higher morbidity and mortality.Conclusion: Pneumatosis intestinalis in systemic sclerosis is a complex clinical entity demanding a nuanced, multi-disciplinary approach to management. Non-operative management should remain the cornerstone of treatment for clinically stable presentations, with surgery reserved for those with clear indications. The absence of standardised guidelines underscores the need for further research to refine diagnostic criteria and therapeutic protocols, ultimately improving long-term outcomes in this complex intersection of gastrointestinal and systemic disease.","PeriodicalId":8158,"journal":{"name":"ANZ Journal of Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143122031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Victoria, Australia was heavily affected. Hospitals deferred non-urgent operations and preserved health resources to manage people with COVID-19. Elective orthopaedic surgery was directly impacted. This study investigated changes to orthopaedic procedures and the elective surgery waitlist during the COVID-19 at a large regional health service in Victoria.Methods: Data were acquired from University Hospital Geelong, a publicly funded regional health service in Victoria, Australia. Orthopaedic surgeries and waitlist numbers were collated for financial years ending (FYE) 2020-2023. Procedures were displayed as total, planned and unplanned (i.e., trauma).Results: From FYE 2020 to 2023 there was 8244 orthopaedic surgery cases with 8850 procedures. Planned joint replacements of knee, hip and shoulder decreased collectively by 19% in FYE 2022 and increased by 66% in FYE 2023. Waiting lists rose from 247 in FYE 2020 and peaked at 786 in FYE 2022, before falling to 390 in FYE 2023. The number of fractured neck of femur procedures were consistent each year (average 152/year), while ankle and wrist fractures declined by 55% and 43% during FYE 2022 and increased in FYE 2023 by 106% and 159% respectively.Conclusion: Changes to planned orthopaedic procedures and waitlists in a regional centre were evident throughout the pandemic. These results can help to inform strategies to optimize the provision of orthopaedic surgery during future major disruptive events.","PeriodicalId":8158,"journal":{"name":"ANZ Journal of Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143078443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An additional three articles were retrieved from review of full article reference lists. 13 articles were excluded, leaving 10 articles meeting the inclusion criteria. The technique demonstrated success across all quadrants of the breast. Eight studies documented successful axillary dissection completed via a single incision. Four studies compared the single-incision approach to the conventional two-incision technique. There was no difference in complication rates. The single-incision technique was associated with higher patient satisfaction and reduced post-operative axillary pain.Conclusion: Single-incision breast conservation surgery and sentinel lymph node biopsy is surgically safe and can be feasible for tumours in all quadrants of the breast and is associated with improvement in cosmesis, pain and patient satisfaction. Further studies are required to confirm its long-term oncological safety.","PeriodicalId":8158,"journal":{"name":"ANZ Journal of Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143073601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Acute and chronic complications following radical cystectomy can be a significant cause of morbidity. We compared the rates of urological complications following these two procedures at our tertiary referral centre.Methods: Patients who underwent radical cystectomy and urinary diversion either alone or as part of pelvic exenteration between June 2017 and April 2024 at our hospital were included. Short and long-term post-operative urological complications were collected, and data for patients who underwent PE were collected prospectively as part of a larger database.Results: One hundred eleven patients underwent cystectomy: 44 as part of pelvic exenteration (PE), 67 cystectomy alone. Post-operative urological complications occurred in 45% of patients undergoing PE and 42% undergoing cystectomy alone (P = 0.703). Urosepsis was the most frequent complication in both cohorts, occurring in 27% and 24% of patients who underwent PE and cystectomy alone respectively. Return to theatre was required in 9% of PE patients and 7% of non-PE patients. ASA status was predictive of complication development in the non-PE cohort, no factors analysed were predictive in the PE cohort.Conclusions: In this cohort, the rate of urological complications and return to the theatre following radical cystectomy and urinary diversion were comparable among those undergoing PE and cystectomy alone. No individual factor was identified that was predictive of post-operative complications.","PeriodicalId":8158,"journal":{"name":"ANZ Journal of Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143073603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study was to determine IDRF subtypes that independently predict postoperative complications.Methods: We searched the New Zealand Children's Cancer Registry for all cases of neuroblastoma treated at a single paediatric oncology centre between January 2007 and February 2021 and determined the IDRF status on pre-operative imaging at diagnosis and after neoadjuvant therapy. Surgical complications (Clavien-Dindo grade) were correlated with total number of IDRFs (pre- and post-chemotherapy) and three subsets: vascular encasement (VE), invasive (I), and extensive (E).Results: Of 101 patients, 73 underwent surgical resection, and 32 (44%) had a surgical complication. Of the 54 IDRF-positive tumours, all were treated by neoadjuvant therapy and in 17, all IDRFs resolved. Complications correlated with the number of post-neoadjuvant therapy VE-IDRFs at OR 1.2 (95% CI 1.0-1.4, P = 0.02) and extensive IDRFs at OR 1.7 (95% CI 1.1-1.9, P = 0.02). Pre-neoadjuvant IDRF status was not independently associated with complications when controlling for post-neoadjuvant IDRF status. The total number of VE-IDRF reduced from 181 pre-neoadjuvant therapy to 86 post, with tumour encasing the aorta and/or vena cava being the most common.Conclusions: The vascular encasement and extensive subtypes of IDRF may be more useful prognostic indicators of surgical complications than the total number of IDRFs. This may have implications for reporting IDRF status on preoperative imaging and surgical planning but needs validation in larger cohort studies.","PeriodicalId":8158,"journal":{"name":"ANZ Journal of Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143063320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Computer-assisted hip surgery uses standing and relaxed-seated radiographs as a surrogate marker of pelvic tilt in all seated positions. However, the flexed-seated position is a high-risk position for dislocation, and the standing and relaxed-seated radiographs may not reflect this risk. This study aims to determine whether adding a flexed-seated radiograph affects stability assessment in 3D modelling of THR.Methods: Ninety patients with osteoarthritis underwent computer-assisted THR and received standing, relaxed-seated, and flexed-seated radiographs. Sacral slope (SS) was measured and analysed using Pearson correlation. Key measures were degree of tilt between positions, as well as correlations between dynamic hip movements.Results: Of the examined patients, 96.7% anteriorly tilted their pelvis moving from relaxed-seated to flexed-seated, and 50% of patients anteriorly tilted by >10° SS. There was a moderate correlation between standing SS and flexed-seated SS (r = 0.33, P ≤ 0.1). There was a strong correlation between relaxed-seated SS and flexed-seated SS (r = 0.77, P ≤ 0.001); however, there was a wide variance of flexed-seated SS for any given relaxed-seated or standing SS.Conclusion: The flexed-seated position poses a higher risk of anterior impingement in 96.7% of patients compared to the relaxed seated-position. The flexed-seated position cannot be predicted by existing radiographs, making it a valuable marker in surgical planning to mitigate the risk of hip instability.","PeriodicalId":8158,"journal":{"name":"ANZ Journal of Surgery","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143063317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
