Patients with chronic renal failure, after kidney transplantation, have an increased risk of developing of tuberculosis. The clinical and radiological picture of tuberculosis in immunosuppressed patients is uncharacteristic, often suggestive of another disease process. The increased risk of generalization of the disease and the significant proportion of deaths in this group of patients prompts a thorough diagnosis of mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.

Infections in post-transplant patients are an important clinical problem, as the immunosuppressed state induced in recipients predisposes them to the development of opportunistic infections.

Surgery is an indispensable part of the combined treatment of people with adenocarcinoma of the rectum. Depending on the location, it takes the form of anterior resection (AR) or amputation (ASAR, resp. APR): the latter type of procedure, performed in patients with low-lying lesions, involves with mutilation in the form of the emergence of a permanent fecal fistula. The decision on the choice of surgery is based on an analysis of studies determining, among other things, the local condition.

A 2-month-old male infant was admitted to the Department of Pediatric Surgery with a suspected right-sided diaphragmatic hernia. After imaging studies were performed, it was decided to perform thoracoscopy. Intraoperatively, hypoplastic right lung tissue with a residual pleural cavity was found. The analysis of the present case and the diagnostic and therapeutic process carried out is an example that the imaging studies performed do not always allow us to make a correct preoperative diagnosis. Despite performing the examinations recommended in similar cases, making the correct diagnosis turned out to be possible only intraoperatively.

Gallbladder injuries occur in only 2.1-3.5% of patients undergoing laparotomy for injuries to the abdominal cavity and are almost always accompanied by injuries to other abdominal organs. Isolated injuries to the gallbladder are extremely rare.

Acute ischemia is a sudden drop in blood perfusion in a limb causing a potential threat to the viability of the limb. The 30-day amputation rate due to acute ischemia is 10% to 30%, with a mortality rate of 15-20%. For several years, in addition to surgical methods, we have had the option of endovascular treatment of of acute ischemia. The methods used: targeted pharmacological thrombolysis, percutaneous aspiration thrombectomy, percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy and various combinations of these procedures.

Multi-organ injuries are the third most common cause of death in Poland, and are also the leading cause of death in people under the age of 40. Among surviving patients, up to 40% of the cases of multi-organ injury multi-organ injury is the cause of permanent disability.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a malformation involving the displacement of viscera into the thoracic region through a pathological opening in the diaphragm, resulting from its abnormal development.

Platelet rich plasma (PRP - Platelet Rich Plasma) is a concentrated volume of platelets dispersed in a small volume of plasma containing platelet-rich growth factors, used based on the based on the concept of orthobiologics. The strategy for using PRP is to use the patient's own blood as a a means of stimulating the regenerative processes of both soft tissue and bone tissue
