Emergent laparotomy is associated with significant wound complications including surgical site infections (SSI) and fascial dehiscence (FD). Triclosan-coated barbed suture (TCB) for fascial closure has been shown to reduce local complications but primarily in elective settings. We sought to evaluate the effect of TCB emergency laparotomy fascial closure on major wound complications.

This review discusses the grading of cholecystitis, the optimal timing of cholecystectomy, adopting a culture of safe cholecystectomy, understanding the common error traps that can lead to intraoperative complications and how to avoid them. The Tokyo Guidelines, AAST, Nassar and Parkland scoring systems are discussed. The patient factors, physiologic status and operative findings that predict a difficult cholecystectomy or conversion from laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy are reviewed. With laparoscopic expertise and patient conditions that are not prohibitive, early laparoscopic cholecystectomy is recommended. This is ideally within 72 hours of admission but supported up to the seventh hospital day. The majority of bile duct injuries (BDI) are due to misidentification of normal anatomy. Strasberg's four error traps and the zones of danger to avoid during a cholecystectomy are described. The review emphasizes the importance of a true critical view of safety (CVS) for identification of the anatomy. In up to 15% of operations for acute cholecystitis, a CVS cannot be achieved safely. Recognizing these conditions and changing your operative strategy are mandatory to avoid harm. The principles to follow for a safe cholecystectomy are discussed in detail. The cardinal message of this review is "under challenging conditions, BDI can be minimized via either a subtotal cholecystectomy or top-down cholecystectomy if dissection in the hepatocystic triangle is avoided." (28) The most severe biliary/vascular injuries usually occur after conversion from laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Indications and techniques for bailout procedures including the fenestrating and reconstituting subtotal cholecystectomy are presented. Seven to ten percent of cholecystectomies for acute cholecystitis currently result in subtotal cholecystectomy.

Trauma-related deaths and post-traumatic sequelae are a global health concern, necessitating a deeper understanding of the pathophysiology to advance trauma therapy. Proteomics offers insights into identifying and analyzing plasma proteins associated with trauma and inflammatory conditions; however, current proteomic methods have limitations in accurately measuring low-abundance plasma proteins. This study compared plasma proteomics profiles of patients from different acute trauma subgroups to identify new therapeutic targets and devise better strategies for personalized medicine.

Military operations are no longer limited to the application of counterterrorism and counterinsurgency strategies; they are now characterized by hybrid, irregular, and unconventional features. While some authors have indicated the need for medical support to adapt to these new modes of military operations, they have focused mainly on the tactical level of care on the battlefield. As Sun Tzu states, "Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat," further proposals are still needed on the application of both medical tactics and medical strategies in irregular warfare.

Avoiding missed diagnosis and therapeutic delay for significant blunt bowel and mesenteric injuries (sBBMI) after trauma is still challenging despite the widespread use of computed tomography. Several scoring tools aiming at reducing this risk have been published. The purpose of the present work was to assess the incidence of delayed (>24 h) diagnosis for sBBMI patients and to compare the predictive performance of three previously published scores using clinical, radiological and laboratory findings: the "Bowel Injury Prediction Score" (BIPS) and the scores developed by Raharimanantsoa (RS) and by Faget (FS).

Trauma is a complex disease, and the use of antibiotic prophylaxis (AP) in trauma patients is common practice. However, considering the increasing rates of antibiotic resistance, AP use should be questioned and limited only to specific cases. Antibiotic stewardship is of paramount importance in fighting resistance spread. Definitive rules or precise indications about antibiotic prophylaxis in trauma remain unclear. The present manuscript describes the indications of antibiotic prophylaxis in traumatic lesions to the head, brain, torso, maxillo-facial, extremities, skin, and soft tissues endorsed by the Global Alliance for Infection in Surgery (GAIS), Surgical Infection Society Europe (SIS-E), World Surgical Infection Society (WSIS), American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST), World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES).
