Unraveling Chronic Pain: From Mechanisms and Risks to Diagnosis and Treatment

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Chronic pain arises through distinct molecular pathways categorized into nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic types. Nociceptive pain begins with TRP channel activation in peripheral nociceptors, signaling via Aδ‐ and C‐fibers through the spinal dorsal horn and spinothalamic tracts to the brain, regulated by descending inhibition and involving ...

Comparative Outcomes of Two Non‐Crosslinked Porcine Acellular Dermal Matrices in Complex Abdominal Wall Reconstruction: A Randomized Controlled Trial and an Observational Cohort Study

open access: yesWorld Journal of Surgery, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 848-859, April 2026.
Biologic mesh has historically been used for ventral hernia repairs (VHR) in contaminated fields in an off‐label fashion due to early evidence suggesting that they may be able to withstand these conditions more favorably than synthetic mesh. This study aims to compare outcomes of two non‐crosslinked porcine acellular dermal matrices—XenMatrix (Bard ...

Patient‐reported outcomes, postoperative pain and pain relief after day‐case surgery (POPPY): baseline data from day surgery practice in the UK

open access: yesAnaesthesia, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 477-488, April 2026.
Summary Introduction Most patients undergoing elective surgery in the UK are discharged from hospital on the same day. Despite this, there is a lack of UK patient‐centred outcome measures relating to quality of recovery, pain and analgesic use. The POPPY study was a UK‐wide prospective, observational study measuring short‐ and longer‐term patient ...

Patient‐reported outcomes, postoperative pain and pain relief after day‐case surgery (POPPY): chronic post‐surgical pain prevalence and associations*

open access: yesAnaesthesia, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 489-499, April 2026.
Summary Introduction Day‐case surgical activity is increasing in the UK yet there is a lack of data on the prevalence of chronic post‐surgical pain in this population. This study uses data from the POPPY study to estimate the prevalence of chronic post‐surgical pain after day‐case surgery, its relationship with quality of life and also explores ...

Timing of ileocolic resection for Crohn's disease: A survey of the patient perspective in the ‘biological’ era

open access: yesColorectal Disease, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Background Medical therapy is often favoured in the treatment of ileocaecal Crohn's disease (CD), with surgery often reserved for treatment failure. Data from the ‘pre‐biological’ era suggest that most patients who had an ileocolic resection for CD would have preferred to have surgery sooner.

Initial Experience With Single‐Port Robotic Donor Nephrectomy Using the da Vinci SP System: A Case Series Evaluating Safety, Feasibility, and Early Outcomes

open access: yesClinical Transplantation, Volume 40, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Minimally invasive techniques for living donor nephrectomy have advanced considerably, with robotic‐assisted approaches offering improved visualization, reduced morbidity, and enhanced cosmesis. Single‐port robotic donor nephrectomy (SP‐RDN), utilizing the da Vinci SP platform, further minimizes the surgical footprint while aiming
