Lameness is often diagnosed in cattle with left displacement of the abomasum (LDA). Laterality of lying has an effect on the etiology of LDA, and lame cows prefer to lie on the affected limb. The objective of this study was to investigate the possible association between laterality of claw lesion and presence of LDA. The medical records of 252 cattle presented with a diagnosis of LDA and subjected to a diagnostic examination of claw lesions over a period of 11 years (2009–2019), were analyzed retrospectively. Data were evaluated for presence and localization of claw lesion, concentrations of inflammatory markers, and abomasal rolling as therapy. At least one claw lesion was diagnosed in 46.4% of cattle. There was no association between laterality of claw lesion and LDA. Presence of claw lesion or oral drench and/or analgesic treatment did not have an effect on occurrence of relapse. A high number of cattle was diagnosed with both LDA and claw lesions. Focus should lie on preventing painful claw lesions in the dry and the early post-partum period. The high recurrence rate after abomasal rolling suggests that abomasal rolling should only be considered as a therapy for temporary relief, and surgical procedures should be discussed with farmers.

There is currently no consensus on the etiopathogenetic nature of endometriosis. The causes of aggressive, progressive, infiltrative growth of endometrioid tissue also remain unclear. An important problem remains the high recurrence rate of endometriosis, despite the availability of modern drug and surgical methods of treatment. The study of the central signaling pathways and the search for new key molecules is of paramount importance for a better understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease, and is also an important step in the development of new strategies for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of endometriosis.

Introduction: Chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR) has been associated with poor long-term survival. Suboptimal midterm results have been a growing concern in the surgical community. In recent years, our approach to repair those valves has evolved to a standardized technique using complete, rigid and small annuloplasty rings. This study aims to compare this systematic approach with our prior experience from 1996 –2001 where recurrent MR rate was high. Methods: 129 patients underwent repair for pure ischemic mitral valve regurgitation between 2002 and 2005 at our institution. Of these patients, 99 had clinical and echographic follow-up. These patients were compared to the 1996 –2001 cohort of 73 patients. Results: Preoperatively, 84% of patients were in NYHA class III or IV, 17% had moderate MR, 83% had moderate-severe to severe MR. Sixteen were redo operations, mostly of previous CABG. All patients except one were treated with a complete rigid ring (Annuloflo 46.5%, Physioring 34.9%, Etlogix 13.9%, others 3.8%). Ring size was: 24 (0.8%); 26 (55.8%); 28 (38%); or 30 (4.5%). Mortality was 8.5% at 30 days, 14.7% at 1 year and 17.8% at 2 years. Immediate postoperative regurgitation was absent or trace in all patients. Freedom from reoperation was 97%. Mean postoperative NYHA class was 1.15 at a mean follow-up of 28 months. Recurrent moderate mitral regurgitation (2+) was 15.34%, severe mitral regurgitation (3+ to 4+) was 13.4% at a mean follow-up of 16 months. In the 73 patients from the period 1996 –2001 at the same echo follow-up time, the moderate and severe recurrence were: 37% and 21%. The decrease in the recurrence rate was highly significant (p=0.001). Conclusion: A more standardized approach to ischemic mitral valve repair has improved the high recurrence rate previously reported by our group. Long-term follow-up is necessary to confirm these findings.

Abstract: Emergency surgery is performed to avoid further complications of the disease or to save the patient's life. Albeit, there are lack of data in various health centers in Indonesia regarding the evaluation of emergency surgical patients, This study was aimed to obtain the profile of patients undergoing emergency surgical procedures in the Emergency Department of Surgery at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado from January to September 2019. This was a retrospective and descriptive study using patients’ medical records. The results showed that there were 540 patients in this study. Most of the patients were adult age group (18-59 years) as many as 343 patients (63.5%), males 366 patients (67.8%), and non-traumatic cases 436 patients (80.4%). The most common cases of trauma was epidural hemorrhage as many as 23 patients (4.3%) meanwhile the most common non-traumatic cases was chronic kidney disease as many as 122 patients (22.6%). According to the type of surgery, CDL insertion and laparotomy were performed on 131 patients each (24.3%). In conclusion, most patients undergoing emergency surgical procedures were 18-59 years old, males, and non-traumatic cases.Keywords: emergency surgery, traumatic cases, non-traumatic cases Abstrak: Bedah emergensi dilakukan dalam keadaan sangat darurat untuk menghindari komplikasi lanjut dari proses penyakit atau untuk menyelamatkan jiwa pasien.

Chordomas rare low grade slow-growing malignant tumors with an incidence rate of 1 in 100000 individuals.32% of chordomas occur in the clivus. Diagnosing Clival chordomas could be challenging due to their rare prevalence, insidious onset, and tendency to involve anywhere throughout the craniospinal column. Treating these tumors can also present as a challenge due to their proximity to vital structures and high recurrence rate. We present a case of massive recurrent Clival chordoma in a 27-year-old patient and discuss the anesthetic considerations in such cases.

Pneumothorax is the collection of air in the pleural space. Pneumothorax can be spontaneous, traumatic or iatrogenic. Primary spontaneous pneumothorax mostly occurs in healthy individuals without an apparent cause, probably due to the rupture of subpleural emphysematous bullae located on the apex of the lung. It usually occurs in tall and healthy males younger than 40 years old. Primary spontaneous pneumothorax has a recurrence rate of 20-30% after the first attack, 50% after the second attack, and 80% after the third attack. Surgery is presented as a treatment option to reduce the high recurrence rate after the second attack. It has been reported that recurrence is between 10 and 20% in patients who undergo bullectomy or wedge resection with endoscopic steps alone. Therefore, various pleural pleurodesis methods are applied in addition to bulla resection in order to reduce the recurrence rate after surgery. In mechanical pleurodesis, adhesion between visceral and parietal pleura is achieved by mechanical abrasion of the parietal pleura or by total or partial removal of the parietal pleura. In chemical pleurodesis, the visceral pleura is adhered to the parietal pleura by creating irritation in the pleura with chemical agents. In cases where pleurodesis was added, the recurrence rate was reported to be between 1.7 and 2.8%. Whether the pleurectomy, pleural mechanical or chemical abrasion methods performed with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is superior for preventing recurrence is still a matter of debate. In this article, we aimed to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of pleurodesis methods in the surgical treatment of primary spontaneous pneumothorax in the light of the literature.

Background: Keloid is a benign growth of connective tissue. There are several risk factors that play a role in keloid growth. Excision surgery is one of the modalities in the treatment of keloids. However, excision surgery alone has a recurrence rate of 45-100%.Case: Male, 37 years old, with complaints arising from a keloid lesions in the left earlobe since three years ago with a history of previous injuries. The lesions is then operated on but always grows back postoperatively. The number of surgeries that have been carried out three times with further treatment in the form of corticosteroid injection. However, keloid still recurrence. Finally it was decided to undergo treatment with surgery followed by radiotherapy within a period of no more than 24 hours postoperatively. Follow-up after six months gave good results without recurrence.Discussion: Keloid has a high recurrence rate after excision surgery. Surgery followed by radiotherapy has a low recurrence rate compared to surgery or surgery followed by administration of corticosteroid injections. Radiotherapy as adjuvant therapy for postoperative keloid excision has the role of sterilizing the connective tissue stem cell active fibroblasts and acute inflammatory cells that grow in the early postoperative period. A study states that administration of postoperative radiation with electrons in keloids in the earlobe at a dose of 15 Gy in three fractions gives a low recurrence rate and a low risk of side effects in the surrounding soft tissue.
