Title: The sleeping beauty waking up with confidence
Abstract:
We all recognize the mantra of Snow White's evil stepmother. But what, exactly, is she asking? In the Grimm Brothers' German original, she asks who's the most beautiful in the land. But in English, it's a little more complicated. On the one hand, fair is an archaic word for beautiful. But in modern usage, it usually refers to a light complexion – and it's hard to forget that we're talking about a story where the main character's claim to fame is that her skin is extraordinarily pale.

Title: Minimally invasive endoscopic and robotic abdominoplasty
Abstract:
Robotics in surgery is becoming the gold standard of minimally invasive surgery for many different disciplines in the surgical field and in plastic surgery it has been used for harvesting the latissimus dorsal for breast reconstructive cases as well as some cases in microsurgery. In 2014, Dr Marco saw the many potentials in incorporating and adapting the use of robotic surgery into his field of interest – muscles aponeurotic rectus plication also known as abdominoplasty.

Title: An evaluation of morphine use in obstetrics during a national shortage of diamorphine
Abstract:
Since the national shortage of diamorphine began in late 2018, preservative-free morphine has been used as an alternative adjunct to local anaesthetics in intrathecal blockade in obstetrics. An initial departmental audit following this enforced change to morphine established a statistically significant increased risk of PONV and reduced patient satisfaction compared with previous diamorphine use. A statistically significant link between intrathecal morphine and reduced post-operative oramorph use was also found. These finding correlate with the different pharmacodynamic profiles of the two drugs. The aim of our re-audit was to evaluate the way in which morphine use changed over time, following our initial audit feedback and with increased familiarity, within our department.

Title: Constellation of rare complications following acute pancreatitis
Abstract:
Acute pancreatitis is characterised by inflammation of pancreas which can be of varying severity depending on the local and systemic complications. An enterovesical fistula is an extremely rare complication of necrotising pancreatitis. Pseudoaneurysms are another rare set of complications associated with pancreatitis that can occur due to the pancratic enzymes eroding the surrounding planes. This case involves the simultaneous presence of these uncommon conditions in a single patient. A chronic alcoholic patient presented to the ED with pain in left lumbar region associated with obstipation, bilious vomiting and fever. A CT scan of abdomen was done which reported necrotic area within body and tail of pancreas involving less than 30% area with multiple hypodense peripherally enhancing collections in anterior pararenal space along with left paracolic gutter and left supramesocolic space. Another collection was seen in superior to dome of bladder with adjacent clumped distal jejunal loops which showed extravasation of oral contrast in the collection. The collection communicated with the bladder with a tract that measured 15.5 mm, suggestive of an enterovesical fistula. The patient was managed conservatively with TPN and an ultrasound guided pigtail catheterization of suprapubic collection to control the intra- abdominal collection. The output through the pigtail catheterization gradually decreased and the urine output became clearer. The patient developed two episodes of hematemesis. It was decided to proceed with a CT angiography that revealed a wide necked splenic artery pseudoaneurysm with no extravasation. Urgent coil embolization of the artery was done. Patient is now doing well.
