Chylothorax is a rare complication occurring after cardio-thoracic surgical procedures. This condition presents challenges for diagnosis and treatment. Operative ductal ligation is the method of choice for relapsing or refractory cases, and it can be performed through the aid of IGC injection for the identification of chylous leakage. Our report presents the use of ICG…
Laparoscopic urological surgery has become a cornerstone in the management of diverse urological pathologies, offering substantial advantages over traditional open approaches. These benefits include minimized incisions, reduced tissue trauma, decreased intraoperative blood loss, lower postoperative pain, shorter hospital stays, superior cosmesis, and accelerated recovery. Despite these advantages, laparoscopic surgery carries inherent risks, with major vascular…
Background: Despite advances in surgical techniques and perioperative care, pancreatic resections such as pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and distal pancreatectomy (DP) remain high-risk procedures. Postoperative complications significantly impact morbidity, mortality, and patient quality of life. Methods: This narrative review summarizes recent literature on major complications following pancreatic surgery, including postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), delayed gastric emptying (DGE),…
Background/Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of preoperative inflammatory biomarkers—C-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR)—in predicting early postoperative complications (within 30 days) in patients undergoing percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). Methods: Data from 184 patients who underwent PEG placement at our institution between January 2021 and May 2022…
