Surgical and oncological outcome after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for peritoneal mesothelioma : A retrospective single center experience.
Peritoneal mesothelioma (PM) is a rare disease with various histopathological subtypes. For malignant peritoneal mesothelioma and borderline subgroups locoregional therapy with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has been implemented. The aim of our study was to retrospectively present the outcome after CRS and HIPEC for patients with different subtypes of peritoneal mesothelioma. ⋯ Patients with peritoneal mesothelioma should receive locoregional treatment as good oncological results can be achieved with reasonable postoperative morbidity. Thus, awareness is necessary for this rare but potentially aggressive disease to offer the best medical care.

Military medical students participate in a separate residency match program, distinct from their civilian counterparts. There is limited information regarding factors that applicants find important when selecting a residency program in Gynecologic Surgery and Obstetrics (GSO). We aimed to identify factors that influence applicant program selection. ⋯ Gynecologic Surgery and Obstetrics military applicants deemed the residency program's culture, surgical volume, and obstetrical volume to be the most important factors impacting residency program selection. Residency programs can use these findings to promote program strengths, improve program shortfalls, and guide applicant recruitment.

A Randomized Controlled Trial of Adding Deep Parasternal Intercostal Plane Block to Interpectoral-Pectoserratus Plane Block in Breast Cancer Surgery.
The interpectoral-pectoserratus plane block is expected to anesthetize the lateral breast, but it is unclear whether the deep parasternal intercostal plane block may enhance recovery by providing analgesia to the medial breast. ⋯ Addition of deep parasternal intercostal plane block was not superior to interpectoral-pectoserratus plane block alone for the quality of recovery in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery.
