Abstract Background Preoperative screening for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) aims to preserve surgical safety for both patients and surgical teams. This rapid review provides an evaluation of current evidence with input from clinical experts to produce guidance for screening for active COVID‐19 in a low prevalence setting. Methods An initial search of PubMed (until 6 May 2020) was combined with targeted searches of both PubMed and Google Scholar until 1 July 2020. Findings were streamlined...

This study aimed to evaluate the clinical features and outcomes of patients who experienced PA bleeding after pancreaticoduodenectomy. In patients with suspected PA, urgent angiography should be considered immediately for diagnosis and treatment. The stent‐graft placement can be performed first if it is technically feasible in PA bleeding. However, TAE is also a safe and effective treatment in patient intact portal flow, as well as those who do not have disrupted collateral pathways because of...

We investigated the use of Denosumab in the treatment of primary giant cell tumour of bone. Denosumab has been an increasingly utilized treatment option in managing giant cell tumour of bone. However, much is still unknown about its current indications, long‐term effects and the potential risk for rapid relapse and sarcomatous transformation. In this manuscript, we highlight the clinical, radiological and pathological outcomes following treatment with Denosumab and of concern we noted a trend towards...

Background: Electrical stimulation (ES) of several gastrointestinal (GI) segments is a promising therapeutic option for multilocular GI dysmotility, but conventional surgical access by laparotomy involves a high degree of tissue trauma. We evaluated a minimally invasive surgical approach using a robotic surgical system to perform electromyographic (EMG) recordings and ES of several porcine GI segments, comparing these data to an open surgical approach by laparotomy. Materials and Methods: In 5 acute...

Abstract Background A diversion loop provides an alternative pathway for food intake from the bucco‐gingival sulcus into the thoracic esophagus. Therefore, the bolus does not pass via pharynx where choking may occur in case of severe dysphagia. The data about outcomes and complications of the diversionary procedure are short and they refer to small cohort with brief follow‐up. Methods This retrospective study analyzed data of 48 patients, mean aged 34.3 years (range, 22–58 years), undergoing...
