Symptomatic extravasation of irrigation fluid is a rare complication of hip arthroscopy. However, depending on the amount of fluid, intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) may occur and even develop into abdominal compartment syndrome, which can seriously alter hemodynamic circulation. Therefore, it is important for anesthesiologists to promptly recognize the abnormal signs of IAH for early diagnosis and better clinical outcomes. Nevertheless, these signs are difficult to detect because they are usually obscured when the patient is under anesthesia and masked by surgical drapes. We report a case of IAH under general anesthesia during hip arthroscopy to highlight possible symptoms and signs.

Immediate implant placement has become an acceptable treatment in dentistry and oral maxillofacial surgery for reducing the treatment period and utilizing extraction socket. From the viewpoint of the healing of extraction socket and periodontology during implantation, integrity of the soft tissue and hard tissue after loss of tooth should be considered. The advantages of the immediate implantation after extraction is prevention of natural buccal or labial alveolar bone loss and is available to healing of extraction socket and osteogenesis. But osteointegration is affected to the defect of soft tissue and alveolar bone after extraction. And healing condition of extraction socket is related to implant-prosthesis treatment and oral hygiene.
