To perform a retrospective root-cause analysis of postoperative death after CRS and HIPEC procedures. ⋯ More than half of the postoperative deaths after combined CRS and HIPEC may be preventable, mainly by following guidelines regarding preoperative selection of the patients and adequate intraoperative decisions.
-
To investigate the association between hospital volume and failure to rescue (FtR), after open repair (OAR), and endovascular repair (EVAR) of intact abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) among centers participating in the VASCUNET and International Consortium of Vascular Registries. ⋯ In this multi-national dataset, FtR rate after intact AAA repair with EVAR and OAR is significantly associated with hospital volume. Hospitals in the top volume quartiles achieve the lowest mortality after a complication has occurred.

Multicenter Study Observational Study
Impact of Permanent Post-thyroidectomy Hypoparathyroidism on Self-evaluation of Quality of Life and Voice: Results from the National QoL-hypopara Study.
The aim of this study was to compare the quality of life (mental health) and voice in patients with or without permanent hypoparathyroidism after total thyroidectomy. ⋯ Hypoparathyroid patients present significantly impaired quality of life, lower voice quality, and frequent symptoms. These results reinforce the importance of preventing this complication.
-
To compare the early results of mass and layered closure of upper abdominal transverse incisions. ⋯ Layered closure of upper abdominal transverse incisions should be preferred due to lower risk of incisional-SSIs and higher SWLR, despite clinically irrelevant longer duration.

Multicenter Study
Surgical Management of Retrorectal Tumors: A French Multicentric Experience of 270 Consecutives Cases.
To report the largest multicentric experience on surgical management of retrorectal tumors (RRT). ⋯ Both laparoscopic and Kraske modified approaches can be used for surgical treatment of RRT (according to their location and their size), with similar long-term results.
