Update on Molecular Testing for Cytologically Indeterminate Thyroid Nodules
Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and ultrasonography are the most common modalities for the diagnosis and follow up of thyroid nodules. FNAB is able to distinguish benign from malignant nodules with high sensitivity and specificity; however, 20% to 30% of nodules are diagnosed as indeterminate with a risk of malignancy varying from 10% to 75% based on the 2017 revision of the Bethesda Syst…

Pathophysiology of Bleeding in Surgery
Bleeding is a major surgical complication. Although mortality rates of 0.1% are observed for surgical procedures, it may be 5% to 8% for elective vascular surgery, and increase to 20% in the presence of severe bleeding. In major surgery for liver diseases, as well as in cardiac surgery, excessive blood loss is associated with increased mortality, morbidity, and intensive care stay. Approximate…

Endoscopic Fibrin Sealing of High-output Nonhealing Gastrocutaneous Fistulas …
In 2 out of 215 morbidly obese patients who underwent vertical banded gastroplasty, a nonhealing gastrocutaneus fistula (GCF) developed. In both patients sepsis occurred, caused by a leak of the posterior gastric wall, which was managed bymeans of an unsuccessful reoperation. After that, sepsis recurred, and a non-healing GCF developed. These GCF were managed endoscopically by the use of a fi…

Fibrin Glue Sandwich Prevents Pancreatic Fistula following Distal Pancreatectomy
Pancreatic fistula is a major form of morbidity following pancreatic resection. We conducted a nonrandomized clinical trial comparing the sealing and sandwich techniques of spraying fibrin glue to prevent pancreatic fistula following distal pancreatectomy. The pancreas was transected with a scalpel to identify and suture the main pancreatic duct and its small branches. In the sealing group, f…

Comparison of Topical Hemostatic Agents in Elective Hepatic Resection: A Clin…
To compare the difference in efficacy of microcrystalline collagen powder (CL) and fibrin glue (FG) in elective hepatic resection, 62 patients (female 14, male 48) with ages ranging from 51 to 75 years were randomly allocated to receive either CL or FG as a topical agent during hepatectomy. There were no significant differences between the patients treated with CL (n = 31) and those treated wit…
