    Abstract Inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFPs), or Vanek's tumor, are one of the least common benign small bowel tumors. IFP affects both sexes and all age groups, with a peak of incidence in the fifth and seventh decades. They can be found throughout the gastrointestinal tract but most commonly in the gastric antrum or ileum. The underlying cause of IFPs is still unknown. Genetic study of IFP showed mutations in platelet derived growth factor alpha in some cases. At the time of diagnosis most IFPs have a diameter of 3 to 4 cm. The lesions have always been recorded as solitary polyps. Symptoms depend on the location and the size of the lesion, including abdominal pain, vomiting, altered small bowel movements, gastrointestinal bleeding and loss of weight. IFPs arising below the Treitz ligament can present with an acute abdomen, usually due to intussusceptions. Abdominal computed tomography is currently considered the most sensitive radiological method to show the polyp or to confirm intussusceptions. Most inflammatory fibroid polyps can be removed by endoscopy. Surgery is rarely needed. Exploratory laparoscopy or laparotomy is frequently recommended as the best treatment for intussusceptions caused by IFP. The operation should be performed as early as possible in order to prevent the intussusceptions from leading to ischemia, necrosis and subsequent perforation of the invaginated bowel segment. This report aims at reviewing the diagnosis, etiology, genetics, clinical presentation, endoscopy, radiology, and best treatment of IFP.

    Abstract Purpose: Redo thyroid surgery is associated with higher risk of hematoma than the initial thyroid surgery. We report a single surgeon's experience of performing redo thyroid surgery without drains.
    Methods: This retrospective single-institutional study evaluates the safety and efficiency of redo thyroid surgery without drains by comparing three groups of patients: those who underwent primary bilateral thyroidectomy (Group 1), those who underwent completion thyroidectomy (Group 2); and those who underwent thyroidectomy for recurrent thyroid diseases (Group 3).
    Results: The demographic characteristics did not differ among the groups. Substernal extension and hyperthyroidism were more frequent in group 1, whereas the weight of the resected thyroid gland was lower in groups 2 and 3. Hematoma occurred in 5%, 4%, and 4% of patients in Groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Postoperative transient hypocalcemia occurred in 19%, 16%, and 21% of patients in Groups 1, 2, and 3 respectively. The postoperative incidence of transient recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) paralysis in Groups 1, 2, and 3, was 6%, 7%, and 8%, respectively. The incidence of permanent unilateral RLN paralysis in Groups 2 and 3 was 1%. The postoperative length of stay was 1 day in 92% of the patients from all groups.
    Conclusions: Avoiding the routine use of drains in redo thyroid surgery is safe and effective, it does not increase overall surgical morbidity, and it reduces the overall length of stay in hospital.

    Abstract Introduction: Perioperative management of female patients undergoing breast surgeries differs from other patients due to chronic pain and postoperative nausea and vomiting. The anesthesia could consist of opioid-free general anesthesia (OFA) or non-opioid-free general anesthesia (NOFA). OFA relies on multimodal analgesia preoperatively and postoperatively. However, it is not yet established whether OFA could replace NOFA as a standard regimen for the management of breast surgeries. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of OFA for breast surgeries in female patients.
    Materials and methods: Patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy were retrospectively recruited. Two groups were defined: group 1, consisting of treated patients using OFA and group 2, consisting of treated patients using NOFA. Mean time to extubate and mean dose of morphine after recovery were computed. Postoperative morphine and antiemetic use were assessed for up to 24 h. A comparison of the computed data was conducted between both groups.
    Results: A total of 116 patients were included with a mean age of 53±13 years. Group 1 consisted of 56 (mean age was 54±14 years). Group 2 consisted of 60 patients (mean age was 51±12 years). Demographic parameters and time to extubate did not yield significant differences. We noticed morphine sparing at T0 and T12 with statistically significant differences
    Conclusion: OFA could be considered in modified radical mastectomy management in female patients; nerve block seemed to act as morphine sparing in operative and postoperative settings by providing significantly less time to extubate with less postoperative morphine requirement.

    Abstract Objective: The nonrecurrent inferior laryngeal nerve (NRILN) is a nerve anomaly that is associated with the developmentally aberrant subclavian artery. Thus, it is possible to predict NRILN by preoperative diagnosis of an aberrant subclavian artery. The purpose of this study was to report a new case of this anomaly and to assess the possibility of diagnosis of an aberrant subclavian artery preoperatively by CT scan of the neck, underline how such recognition is crucial for the prevention of intraoperative nerve damage and review the literature.
    Methods: We report a case of thyroid surgery associated with a right NRILN diagnosed preoperatively by CT scan of the neck.
    Results: The preoperative CT scan showed a retroesophageal aberrant right subclavian artery. The patient underwent total thyroidectomy for a multinodular goiter. She had identification of recurrent laryngeal nerve on the left side and NRILN on the right side. Postoperatively, the patient had normal vocal cord function on laryngoscopy.
    Conclusion: It was possible to predict preoperatively a right NRILN by identifying an aberrant right subclavian artery on the CT film of the neck, which likely enabled the prevention of vocal cord paralysis.

    Abstract Omental ischemia is a rare cause of acute abdomen. Clinical diagnosis is usually difficult because clinical signs and symptoms are similar to other common causes of abdominal pain. The most common differential diagnosis is acute appendicitis. Diagnosis is mainly based on ultrasound, and especially computed tomography scan analysis. There is, at present, no standard treatment modality for omental ischemia. When diagnosed by radiological imaging, omental ischemia can be managed conservatively. We hereby review incidence, etiology, pathology, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, biological anomalies, radiological features, and treatment options of omental ischemia.

    Abstract We are reporting the rare case of splenic artery aneurysm of 4 cm of diameter presenting as a sub mucosal lesion on gastro-duodenal endoscopy. This aneurysm was treated by endovascular coil embolization and stent graft implantation. The procedure was uneventful. On day 1, the patient presented an acute severe epigastric pain and cardiovascular arrest. Abdominal computed tomography scan showed an active leak of the intravenous contrast dye in the peritoneum from the splenic aneurysm. We performed an emergent resection of the aneurysm, and peritoneal lavage. Postoperatively, hemorrhagic choc was refractory to large volumes replacement, and intravenous vaso-active drugs. On day 2, he presented massive hematochezia. We performed a total colectomy with splenectomy and cholecystectomy for ischemic colitis, with spleen and gallbladder infarction. Despite vaso-active drugs and aggressive treatment with Factor VIIa, the patient died after uncontrolled disseminated intravascular coagulation.
