There are presented results of surgical treatment of 347 patients with colorectal cancer. Based on the retrospective analysis a comparative study of results of surgical treatment for colorectal cancer using laparoscopic technologies and “open” access was carried out. Predictive factors that correlate with the risk of postoperative complications with laparoscopic and “open” access at the surgical stage of treatment for colorectal cancer were determined.

This study presents 738 length-weight relationships for 242 species found in Turkish seas. All length-weight relationships presented were collected from a total of 33 studies. These studies were all performed in Turkish coastal waters between 1997 and 2013. For all studies, the median of a value was calculated as 0.014 and the median of b value was calculated as 3.016.

Introduction: Perioperative strategies have been changing due to the COVID-19 pandemic to prevent the risk of postoperative complications and transmission of infection. This study was aimed to assess the outcome of gastrointestinal surgery and the risk of transmission by implementing COVID-19 testing criteria and surgical strategy. Method: This was a retrospective descriptive study conducted at the department of surgery at Patan Hospital, Nepal, during COVID-19 lock-down from 24 march to 15 June 2020. All patients who underwent gastrointestinal (GI) surgery were included. High-risk patients (as defined by the Hospital Incident Command System, HICS) were tested for COVID-19 preoperatively. Surgery was performed in COVID operating room with full protective gear. Low-risk patients were not tested for COVID-19 preoperatively and performed surgery in non-COVID OR. Data from patient’s case-sheets were analyzed descriptively for age, gender, comorbidities, hospital stay, RT-PCR results, surgeries, and postoperative complications. Result: There were total 44 GI surgeries performed; 31(70.5%) were emergency, 5(11.3%) semi-emergency and 8(18.2%) oncology. There were 11(25%) patients tested for COVID-19 preoperatively and were negative. Nine HCWs tested for COVID-19 randomly were negative. Severe postoperative complications developed in 3 patients, with one mortality. Conclusion: Among GI surgeries, there was no increase in postoperative complications and transmission of COVID-19 to the patients or HCWs following the implementation of standard testing criteria and surgical strategy.

Abstract Background: Surgical devices are commonly used during breast-conservative surgery (BCS) to provide better hemostasis. Ultrasonic shear has recently gained momentum as an effective tool for intraoperative bleeding reduction. This comparative study was designed to determine the efficacy of Harmonic focus in reducing postoperative complications of BCS following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CTH), in comparison to the conventional method using monopolar diathermy.Methods: We conducted a prospective, non-randomized, comparative, study on patients scheduled to undergo BCS with axillary dissection or sentinel lymph node biopsy after neoadjuvant CTH. Patients were recruited consecutively throughout the study period and were divided in an equal manner to undergo either monopolar electrocautery or Harmonic focus®.Results: Patients in the Harmonic Focus group had significantly shorter operative time than the monopolar electrocautery group (101.32 ± 27.3 versus 139.3 ± 31.9 minutes, respectively; p <0.001). Besides, the blood loss was significantly lower in the Harmonic Focus group (117.14 ± 35.6 versus 187 ± 49.8mL, respectively; p <0.001). Postoperatively, patients in the Harmonic Focus group had a significantly lower volume of chest wall drain (p <0.001) and shorter rime till drain removal (p <0.001). Likewise, patients in the Harmonic Focus group had a significantly lower volume of axillary drain and shorter rime till drain removal than monopolar electrocautery (p <0.001). The incidence of postoperative complications was comparable between both groups (p =0.128). Conclusions: In conclusion, the current study confirms the superiority of Harmonic Focus, compared to monopolar electrocautery, amongst patients receiving neoadjuvant CTH before BCS.
