Abstract
Introduction Perioperative management of female patients undergoing breast surgeries differs from other patients due to chronic pain and postoperative nausea and vomiting. The anesthesia could consist of opioid-free general anesthesia (OFA) or non-opioid-free general anesthesia (NOFA). OFA relies on multimodal analgesia preoperatively and postoperatively. However, it is not yet established whether OFA could replace NOFA as a standard regimen for the management of breast surgeries. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of OFA for breast surgeries in female patients. Materials and methods Patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy were retrospectively recruited. Two groups were defined: group 1, consisting of treated patients using OFA and group 2, consisting of treated patients using NOFA. Mean time to extubate and mean dose of morphine after recovery were computed. Postoperative morphine and antiemetic use were assessed for up to 24 h. A comparison of the computed data was conducted between both groups. Results A total of 116 patients were included with a mean age of 53±13 years. Group 1 consisted of 56 (mean age was 54±14 years). Group 2 consisted of 60 patients (mean age was 51±12 years). Demographic parameters and time to extubate did not yield significant differences. We noticed morphine sparing at T0 and T12 with statistically significant differences P=0.043 and P=0.006, respectively. Conclusion OFA could be considered in modified radical mastectomy management in female patients; nerve block seemed to act as morphine sparing in operative and postoperative settings by providing significantly less time to extubate with less postoperative morphine requirement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The added-value of systematic biopsy (SB) in patients undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted biopsy (TB) remains unclear and the spatial distribution of positive cores relative to the MRI lesion has been poorly studied. The aim of this study was to determine the utility of perilesional biopsy in detecting clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). METHODS We enrolled 505 consecutive patients that underwent SB and TB for suspicious MRI lesions (PI-RADS score 3-5) at Jules Bordet Institute between June 2016 and January 2022. Patient-specific tridimensional prostate maps were reviewed to determine the distance between systematic cores containing csPCa and the MRI index lesion. Primary outcomes were the cancer detection rate (CDR) per patient and the cumulative cancer distribution rate of positive cores for each 5 mm interval from the MRI index lesion. The secondary outcome was the identification of risk groups for the presence of csPCa beyond a 10 mm margin using the chi-square automated interaction detector (CHAID) machine learning algorithm. RESULTS Overall, the CDR for csPCa of TB, SB, and combined method were 32%, 25%, and 37%, respectively. While combined method detected more csPCa compared to TB (37% vs. 32%, p < 0.001), no difference was found when TB was associated with perilesional sampling within 10 mm (37% vs. 35%, p = 0.2). The cumulative cancer distribution rate for csPCa reached 86% for the 10 mm margin. The CHAID algorithm identified three risk groups: (1) PI-RADS3 ("low-risk"), (2) PI-RADS4 or PI-RADS5 and PSA density <0.15 ng/ml ("intermediate-risk"), and (3) PI-RADS 5 and PSA density ≥0.15 ng/ml ("high-risk"). The risk of missing csPCa was 2%, 8%, and 29% for low-, intermediate- and high-risk groups, respectively. Avoiding biopsies beyond a 10 mm margin prevented the detection of 19% of non-csPCa. CONCLUSIONS Perilesional biopsy template using a 10 mm margin seems a reasonable alternative to the combined method with a comparable detection of csPCa. Our risk stratification may further enhance the selection of patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is currently no consensus regarding the optimal number of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-targeted biopsy (TB) cores and their spatial distribution within the MRI lesion. We aim to determine the number of TB cores and location needed to adequately detect csPCa. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 505 consecutive patients undergoing TB for positive MRI lesions defined by a PI-RADS score ≥ 3 between June 2016 and January 2022. Cores chronology and locations were prospectively recorded. The co-primary outcomes were the first core to detect clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) and the first highest ISUP grade group. The incremental benefit of each additional core was evaluated. Analysis was then performed by distinguishing central (cTB) and peripheral (pTB) within the MRI lesion. RESULTS Overall, csPCa was detected in 37% of patients. To reach a csPCa detection rate of 95%, a 3-core strategy was required, except for patients with PI-RADS 5 lesions and those with PSA density ≥ 0.2 ng/ml/cc who benefited from a fourth TB core. At multivariable analysis, only a PSA density ≥ 0.2 ng/ml/cc was an independent predictive factor of having the highest ISUP grade group on the fourth TB cores (p = 0.03). No significant difference in the cancer detection rate was found between cTB and pTB (p = 0.9). Omitting pTB would miss 18% of all csPCa. CONCLUSION A 3-core strategy should be considered for TB to optimize csPCa detection with additional cores needed for PI-RADS 5 lesions and high PSA density. Biopsy cores from both central and peripheral zones are required.

Abstract
Pneumoscrotum is the term used to indicate the presence of air in the scrotum and comprises scrotal emphysema and pneumatocele. It is an uncommon medical condition and encompasses multiple etiologies, some of which may be life-threatening. We present the case of a 45-year-old male who developed a pneumoscrotum seven days after undergoing a thoracoscopy with decortication, pleural biopsy, and chest tube insertion, for a loculated pleural effusion not amenable to drainage by a pigtail catheter. The patient was diagnosed with a bronchopleural fistula and was treated conservatively with negative chest tube pressure. Treatment of the fistula and of the resulting pneumothorax allowed resorption of the pneumoscrotum. The associated literature is reviewed after the case presentation. This case report underlines the importance of evaluating a pneumoscrotum that should not be underestimated.
