The existing literature remains scarce due to its rarity; therefore, there is no consensus regarding diagnostic criteria, malignant potential, treatment of choice, and follow-up. The authors report their case series to analyze the heterogeneous features of this poorly understood neoplasm. A retrospective, monocentric cohort study of all patients who underwent surgery diagnosed with STUMP at the Garibaldi-Nesima Hospital in Catania from February 2018 to August 2021 was conducted. Each patient’s age at diagnosis, symptoms, surgical treatment, tumor features, postoperative management, and follow-up were recorded. Nine STUMP cases were included. All patients reported menometrorrhagia and pelvic pain. In all women, the tumor lesion was single and intramural, and the mean diameter was 7.5 cm. Four women underwent laparotomic conservative surgery. The mean postoperative follow-up time was 36 months, and recurrences were observed in two patients. In conclusion, STUMP cases should be systematically discussed by tumor boards, pathologists with good expertise in gynecological diseases should examine the histological samples, and close surveillance is mandatory because of the possibility of recurrence or metastasis.","PeriodicalId":93623,"journal":{"name":"Surgeries","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48838483","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 purpose of this study was to evaluate the rates of RTW following hip arthroscopy, the time required to RTW, and factors correlated with successful RTW. A retrospective review was performed of patients who underwent hip arthroscopy for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) from 2018–2021. Data were collected regarding pre-injury employment, work activity level, workers’ compensation (WC) status, ability to return to work, the pre- and postoperative pain visual analog score (VAS), and the Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS). Overall, 76 patients (90.5%) returned to their pre-surgical occupation at an average of 9.3 weeks (range: 0.14–56 weeks) postoperatively. Of those who returned, 62 patients (81.6%) returned to full work duties. The NAHSs improved significantly from the preoperative period to follow-up at 1 year (64.7 vs. 83.7, p < 0.001). A linear regression found elevated BMI to be associated with an increased time to return (β = 0.757, p = 0.012). On average, patients with WC status returned to work 9 weeks later than non-WC patients, though this difference did not reach statistical significance (18.4 vs. 9.9 weeks, p = 0.130). There is a high rate of return to full work duties at an average of 9.3 weeks following hip arthroscopy for FAIS.","PeriodicalId":93623,"journal":{"name":"Surgeries","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48503428","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}

Post-radiation intestinal angiosarcoma is a special type of secondary angiosarcoma, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. We present a case of radiation-induced small bowel angiosarcoma in an 88-year-old female patient who was admitted to our department for abdominal pain and signs of intestinal obstruction. Her clinical history included previous radiotherapy treatments after a hysterectomy for uterine fibroids, excision of the vaginal stump for squamous cell carcinoma, and the surgical removal of a left-leg cutaneous angiosarcoma. She underwent emergency surgery, and features of peritoneal carcinomatosis were detected. A histological examination showed the presence of a small intestinal angiosarcoma. At the histochemical analysis, MYC amplification was detected, suggesting that her small bowel angiosarcoma was related to past radiation treatments.","PeriodicalId":93623,"journal":{"name":"Surgeries","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44533814","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}

Our aim for this review is to identify the effects of exercise on all aspects of health regarding the most recent and randomized studies. A total of 120 articles were reviewed through PubMed. As a result of the research, 11 studies that met the inclusion criteria were included. A quality analysis and a risk of bias assessment of the trials included in this systematic review were performed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scoring and classification system. Narrative syntheses were given for this systematic review. The articles’ intervention description, outcomes, and results are given in detail in the Results Section. Most exercise interventions were carried out in the post-op stage in bariatric surgery patients. Only two studies were conducted before the scheduled procedure. Overall, aerobic training (AT) and resistance training (RT) combined exercise programs effectively improved clinical parameters, including cardiac function, lower extremity function, muscle strength and endurance, cardiovascular parameters, and functionality. Exercise training caused no additional effects on inflammation and endothelial dysfunction biomarkers. In the literature, no research identifies the effects of only AT on bariatric surgery patients. Therefore, this aspect should be considered when interpreting all the studies’ results. In conclusion, there is a need for research to examine only AT in bariatric surgery patients and for general exercise training studies, including better randomization and quality.","PeriodicalId":93623,"journal":{"name":"Surgeries","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43268117","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}

However, their use in pediatric neurosurgery is comparatively unexplored. We designed a study to explore the use of an MR-based application for pediatric brain tumors. The primary aim is to determine if the use of MR provides the neurosurgical team with a better understanding of the visuospatial anatomy of neoplasms in pediatric craniums and to guide operative planning. Secondary aims include exploring its use as an educational tool for junior doctors and medical students. Methods: Three-dimensional anatomical models of selected pediatric brain tumors are created and uploaded to an MR application. The processed data is transferred into designated MR head-mounted devices. At the end of the trial, users are required to fill in an evaluation form. Results: A total of 30 participants took part in this study. Based on the collated feedback data, all of them agreed that the MR platform was useful as a tool in different aspects of understanding the selected pediatric brain tumors. Conclusions: This study demonstrates a proof of concept of the feasibility of MR platforms for a better understanding of pediatric brain tumors.

We sought to characterize differences and trends in bariatric surgery care and outcomes between 2020 and 2021. The Metabolic and Bariatric Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP) collects data from 902 centers in North America. The MBSAQIP database was evaluated, including patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) with two cohorts described: those receiving surgery in 2020 and those in 2021. Patient selection, operative techniques, and outcomes were compared using bivariate analysis. Multivariable modelling evaluated factors including operative year, independently associated with serious complications and mortality. We evaluated 349,209 patients, with 154,960 (44.4% undergoing bariatric surgery during 2020 compared to 194,249 (55.6%) in 2021.

Patients receiving bariatric surgery during 2021 were statistically younger with fewer comorbidities compared to 2020; however, differences were small and groups appeared clinically similar. Length of stay continued to decrease (1.4 ± 1.1 days 2020 vs. 1.3 ± 1.2 days 2021, p < 0.001), yet post-operative outcomes remained similar.

The usual therapies are treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) and painkillers, steroid injections, physiotherapy, and surgical treatment. This case report describes the effect of a single treatment with pulsed radiofrequency of the suprascapular nerve in a diabetic patient affected by this pathology, for whom steroid injections were contraindicated. Three weeks after the treatment, the reduction of pain and the improvement of ROM (range of movement) allowed the patient to start an adequate physiotherapy treatment, which was not feasible until that moment due to the severe pain despite NSAIDS therapy. The peculiarity of this work consists in the accurate measure of the impact of the analgesic treatment alone in improving the ROM and muscular activation in the patient. The patient was able to correctly perform physiotherapy only once the pain was reduced, after PRF (pulsed radio frequency) treatment. This study has two limitations: being a case report and not a prospective randomized study, and observing the kinematic and pain aspects for a limited period of time. Finally, the case report draws attention to the importance of cooperation between the various health figures involved in the treatment of patients suffering from adhesive capsules.","PeriodicalId":93623,"journal":{"name":"Surgeries","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46622696","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 metaverse is an emerging resource in healthcare, resulting from the integration of virtual and physical reality. It is particularly valuable in surgical operations, since it allows surgeons to perfectly visualize patients’ anatomy. Metaverse applications even include the pediatric field—in particular, the implementation of children and parents’ shared decision-making processes, as well as prenatal diagnosis and fetal surgery. This resource further represents a rising opportunity in pediatric urology: the development of 3D virtual models and robotic surgery will allow surgeons to explore surgical fields, perfectionating their own professional skills.

With a prevalence ratio of 2:1 towards males, in 95% of the cases, the osteomas are situated most commonly in the frontoethmoidal region. However, osteomas of the maxillary sinus account for less than 5% of cases. The management of symptomatic paranasal sinus osteomas is surgical and is decided based on tumor size and location, patient symptoms, and experience of the surgeon. The Caldwell–Luc procedure, lateral rhinotomy, or craniotomy as external standard procedures remain mandatory if endonasal endoscopic surgery fails. In most reported cases, large tumors are excised by an external approach or in conjunction with an endoscopic technique. Endoscopic treatment of such tumors is a huge challenge for the operator. We report on a 42-year-old male patient presenting with a giant calcified mass in the right maxillary sinus. In this case, an endonasal approach was the most appropriate management even with the large size of the tumor.
