This review synthesizes evidence from recent randomized controlled trials assessing negative pressure therapy (NPT) for reducing wound complications after major lower extremity amputation, highlighting variable efficacy and potential benefi
This study demonstrates that classifying a Functional Status Scale score of 7 as normal underestimates long-term disability in injured children, advocating for revised scoring cutoffs and routine follow-up assessments to enhance outcome det
Neighborhood deprivation measured by ADI correlates with poorer pre-implant speech recognition and quality of life but does not impact post-implantation benefits, highlighting socioeconomic disparities in cochlear implant access rather than
The ARMONIA multicenter survey demonstrated that the Muysoms A-H-M-T-F nomenclature for hernia repair reporting shows moderate-to-substantial reproducibility internationally and reduces terminology variability compared to classic nomenclatu
This study characterizes abnormal lymphatic reflux patterns in primary chylopericardium using direct lymphangiography and demonstrates that guided cervical thoracic duct exploration yields a 66% long-term success rate, with specific reflux
This study links higher neighborhood deprivation with increased 90-day mortality following major hepatectomy, highlighting social determinants as vital preoperative risk factors.
This study shows that the choice of cannulation site—femoral versus axillary—does not independently affect early mortality or neurological complications after acute type A aortic dissection repair; instead, timely systemic reperfusion and c
This randomized clinical trial demonstrates that SI-449, a novel cross-linked chondroitin sulfate powder, significantly reduces postoperative adhesions following open rectal cancer surgery, offering a safe and practical adhesion prevention
A propensity-matched study shows adding radiotherapy to neoadjuvant chemotherapy improves pathologic response but does not enhance survival or reduce recurrence in resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
Adjuvant chemotherapy shows survival benefits in select subgroups of distal bile duct carcinoma patients post-surgery, emphasizing the need for tailored treatment strategies and further prospective research.
A validated deep learning model accurately detects surgical site infections from wound images, offering a promising telemedicine tool for early postoperative monitoring and timely clinical intervention.
A prospective study of 214 living liver donors undergoing robotic hepatectomy reveals excellent physical recovery and improved psychosocial wellbeing within one year post-donation, supporting the donor-centered benefits of this minimally in
A randomized controlled trial demonstrates that PTeye-guided near-infrared autofluorescence significantly improves identification and preservation of parathyroid glands during total thyroidectomy, reducing transient hypoparathyroidism, espe
This study highlights that geriatric vulnerabilities and comorbidities, once considered nonmodifiable, play a dominant role in 30-day readmissions after colorectal surgery in older adults, emphasizing the need for integrated perioperative i
A study reveals a higher prevalence of rapid CYP2C19 metabolizer phenotypes in GERD patients undergoing surgery versus medical therapy, supporting tailored proton pump inhibitor dosing and timely surgical referral.
This article reviews the development and validation of a reliable video-based competency assessment tool (MSA CAT) for magnetic sphincter augmentation, integral to surgical quality assurance in the GOLF trial for antireflux surgery.
This study elucidates how escalating cognitive workload affects brain activation in novice surgical residents, revealing distinct neural patterns linked to performance resilience or decline during simulated suturing tasks.
Weight loss velocity, rather than absolute weight loss, predicts the onset and persistence of Patulous Eustachian Tube symptoms after bariatric surgery, highlighting the need for close monitoring during rapid BMI decline phases.
Iatrogenic hypercalcemia complicates 14% of hypoparathyroidism cases post-total thyroidectomy, linked to low early postoperative parathyroid hormone and early vitamin D initiation. Careful supplementation and monitoring are vital in prevent
This qualitative study reveals how spiritual distress shapes patients’ fears and hopes before elective surgery, emphasizing the need for routine spiritual well-being assessment to support resilience and improve perioperative care.
