Review[A possible protocol for postoperative management in laparoscopic cholecystectomy].
The goal of the "Prospect" programme (sponsored by Pfizer) is to create possible evidence-based protocols related to the management of postoperative pain after certain type of surgical intervention (e.g. hernia repairs, hysterectomies, etc.). This article is introducing the protocol for laparoscopic cholecystectomy for both day-case and longer hospital admission cases. The protocol is designed for preoperative, intra and postoperative period, choosing only those measures which were effective for postoperative pain, published in the literature. We are also presenting an analyze of our 13,000 laparoscopic cholecystectomies, from "Prospect" protocol point of view, and what we should do to improve the management of postoperative pain.

Penetrating cardiac wounds represent a dramatically pathology of the general surgery because of their clinical presentation and outcome. The cardiorrhaphy with the three successive times, carried out with maximum rapidity is the only safe and efficient surgical technique which leads to hemostasis and healing. The aim of this study was to evaluate our results and experience of penetrating cardiac injuries treated at the Clinic of Surgical Emergencies from Iaşi. 20 patients, 17 men and 3 women, of mean age 34 years (range 18-51), with stab wounds, underwent cardiorrhaphy between 1974 and 2004. ⋯ We recorded 4 deaths. Mortality results from the wounds of the right auricle. The high rate of survival (80%) proves that a penetrating cardiac injury with a heavy prognosis may be turned into a relative traumatism harmless for those patients who will remain alive until they arrive in hospital.
