Reversal of rocuronium-induced neuromuscular block with the novel drug sugammadex is equally effective under maintenance anesthesia with propofol or sevoflurane.

TL;DR: The 95% confidence interval for the difference in recovery time between the 2 groups was well within the predefined equivalence interval, indicating that recovery from NMB was unaffected by maintenance anesthesia, and the safety profile of sugammadex was somewhat more favorable under propofol than under sevoflurane anesthesia.

TL;DR: The robotic Da Vinci system was used for retroperitoneal para‐aortic laparoscopic lymphadenectomy in patients with gynecologic cancer and it was experienced that using a 30° scope is advantageous for the dissection of the paracaval nodes.

The impact of nitrous oxide on postoperative nausea and vomiting after desflurane anesthesia for breast surgery.
TL;DR: The combination of desflurane with N2O in female patients undergoing breast surgery is associated with a significantly higher incidence of PONV and a higher need of antiemetic drugs, when compared to a N1O free regime.

Propofol-nitrous oxide versus thiopental sodium-isoflurane-nitrous oxide for strabismus surgery in children
TL;DR: Propofol induction and maintenance of anesthesia for strabismus surgery in children significantly lowers the frequency of postanesthetic retching and vomiting, but propofol is associated with pain and spontaneous movements at induction and a high frequency of oculocardiac reflexes during maintenance infusion.

Lower limb compartment syndrome as a complication of laparoscopic laser surgery for severe endometriosis.
TL;DR: Lower limb compartment syndrome can be prevented in patients undergoing long duration multidisciplinary laparoscopic resection of extensive endometriosis by a novel sequential positioning method of patients before and during surgery.
