Surgical Research: Practical, Clinically Useful Guides
Looking for clear, useful information that connects medicines and surgery? This tag gathers posts that matter in the operating room and the days after: infection treatment, antifungal and antibiotic choices, pain control, and drug alternatives you’ll actually use. You won’t find dense theory here—just practical takeaways, case-focused updates, and tips clinicians and patients can act on.
Want a quick map? Find articles on antifungal strategies for severe infections, how certain antibiotics are being reused for bone infections, safer pain drug choices after procedures, and drug recalls that change perioperative practice. Each piece explains what clinicians tried, why it worked or failed, and what questions to ask your care team.
What’s in this tag (and why it helps)
Posts here include treatment-focused reviews and hands-on advice. For example, the article on voriconazole looks at treating invasive Fusarium infections—useful when fungal disease complicates wounds or implants. The cycloserine piece examines options for osteomyelitis, a bone infection surgeons often face after trauma or hardware placement. These write-ups focus on dosing choices, common side effects to watch for, and when to involve infectious disease specialists.
Pain control after surgery appears often: read how Toradol (ketorolac) is used safely for short-term pain and where providers should be cautious. You’ll also find comparisons of anti-inflammatory drugs like meloxicam and newer alternatives that can reduce bleeding risk or avoid interactions with other meds you’re taking around surgery.
How to use these posts in real care
Use these articles as a prep checklist before and after procedures. Read the antifungal and antibiotic posts to know when to expect longer courses, monitoring needs, or drug levels. Check the pain-management pieces to ask your surgeon about NSAID timing, alternatives if you have kidney issues, or when to expect opioid-sparing strategies. If you’re dealing with drug recalls or supply issues, the recall and alternative posts give practical swaps and questions to raise with your pharmacist.
If you’re a clinician, skim the treatment summaries and look for practical tips—dosing ranges, monitoring signals, and when to get microbiology input. If you’re a patient, focus on side effects, warning signs, and how medications might affect recovery or wound healing. We try to spell out the red flags so you can raise them early.
Need something specific? Use the site search for terms like "osteomyelitis," "voriconazole," "ketorolac," or "post-op infection." Bookmark posts that match your condition and share them with your care team to get a faster, more informed discussion. If you want updates on new surgical research from our site, the contact page lists how to reach the editor for suggestions or topic requests.
This tag keeps evolving as new studies and drug options appear. Check back when planning a procedure or when infections or pain issues come up—these guides are meant to make surgical care clearer and more manageable for you and your clinicians.
Elsevier Resumes Review of Debated Hydroxychloroquine COVID-19 Research
Elsevier has reignited an examination of a controversial study on hydroxychloroquine's impact on COVID-19 patients, originally published in *The Lancet*. The research, which significantly influenced global health policies, faced intense criticism over methodology and data reliability provided by Surgisphere. This renewed investigation aims to clarify the study's integrity and its influence on public health decisions.
