Abstract:

Balancing resident education with operating room (OR) efficiency, while accommodating different styles of surgical educators and learners, is a challenging task. We sought to evaluate variability in operative time for breast surgery cases. Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education case logs of breast operations from 2011 to 2017 for current surgical residents at Loma Linda University were correlated with patient records. The main outcome measure was operative time. Breast cases were assessed as these operations are performed during all postgraduate years (PGY). Breast procedures wer

Abstract:

Thoracic sympathectomy is an important option in the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis and pain disorders. Earlier surgical procedures were highly invasive with known morbidity, acceptable outcome, and established recurrence rates that were the limitations to considering surgical treatment. Thoracoscopic sympathectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows detailed visualization of the sympathetic ganglia and minimal postoperative morbidity; however, outcome studies of this technique have been limited.

INTRODUCTION: Pain is defined as an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage or described in terms of such damage. Pain can be both a symptom of tissue trauma associated with surgery or disease in itself. Surgical procedures may induce different alterations of interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-6 that affect the variation of pain intensity during surgery. Therefore, appropriate pain management during a surgical procedure may reduce postoperative morbidity caused by surgical pain. METHODS: This prospective cohort study included patients by consecutive

Abstract:

Surgical process re-engineering is a methodology where the entire surgical process is systematically analysed and re-designed. The process starts with mapping of the current process followed by in-depth analysis of the existing process. A new process is drafted with the aim of making the whole procedure more efficient. The new process is then discussed with all the staff involved in the operating room. Following implementation of the process, surgical process re-engineering should ideally be routinely carried out to continuously improve the procedure. We present an example of surgical process

It is well known by surgeons that patient positioning is fundamental to exposing the organs when performing an operation via laparoscopy, as gravity can help move the organs and facilitate the exposure of the surgical site.

The patient’s position can be changed not only by rotating the patient along the head–toe axis but also by tilting the surgical bed, as is undertaken during laparoscopic surgical procedures.

Between October 2006 and September 2007 over 128,000 reports of patient safety incidents from surgical specialties were reported to the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA). These incidents ranged from misplacement of patient notes to incorrect treatment or procedure. Data collected from 56 countries showed that in 2004 there were an estimated 234 million operations globally with major complications in 3–16% of inpatient surgical procedures and a post-operative death rate of 0.4–0.8% in industrialised countries. There is a strong correlation betw

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION Soft-tissue sarcoma resections are often highly complex procedures that demand meticulous pre-operative planning in order to maximise the potential for complete excision with clear margins, while preserving vital neurovascular structures and muscle groups. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We present a computer-aided model for surgical planning using Microsoft Powerpoint as a tool for cross referencing magnetic resonance images and normal anatomical diagrams. RESULTS Using this system the operator follows a sequence of pre-planned steps, minimising intra-operative decision making and unexpecte

Introduction A pediatric hospital may aim to show governmental agencies, charitable organizations, and philanthropic individuals how its clinical services differ from those of nonpediatric surgical facilities and of other pediatric hospitals. Yet, it is unknown how to use existing databases to quantify where infants and young children undergo surgery, and to use that information to differentiate among facilities.

AbstractRepeat operations involving the aortic root, ascending aorta, and arch (proximal aorta) are technically challenging. These procedures are associated with higher operative mortality and morbidity. A dedicated surgical team with special skill set is essential to manage these complex patients. Redo root and proximal aortic procedures can be done with acceptable risk in most patients with attention to details involving the surgical procedure, patient selection, and perioperative management.

Background: Incisional hernia (IH) is defined as the hernia protruding through incompletely healed abdominal surgical wound. Management of IH can be preventive (avoidance of infection and suture line tension, proper abdominal wound closure) or operative (anatomical reconstruction or repair with synthetic non-absorbable mesh either by open or laparoscopy method).Methods: A descriptive prospective observational study on 51 patients with age >15 yrs was conducted in the Department of General Surgery, SCB Medical College and Hospital, Cuttack from August 2015 to August 2017.

The authors present seven cases of surgical drape left in body cavities during surgical operations. The most common symptoms reported by these patients are analysed and the consequences of leaving a foreign body in the abdominal cavity are summarised. In the majority of cases, the time elapsed from the operation to the detection of the foreign body was an average of 17 months. In one case, the foreign body remained in the abdomen for 7 years. The most common symptom reported by patients was abdominal pain. Some patients also developed wound healing disorders with leakage of pus from the wound,

Abstract:

Pre-operative assessment is required prior to the majority of elective surgical procedures, primarily to ensure that the patient is fit to undergo surgery, whilst identifying issues that may need to be dealt with by the surgical or anaesthetic teams. The post-operative management of elective surgical patients begins during the peri-operative period and involves several health professionals. Appropriate monitoring and repeated clinical assessments are required in order for the signs of surgical complications to be recognised swiftly and adequately.This article examines the literature regarding

Six surgical procedures, consisting of tendon transfers and releases, were performed in five patients with idiopathic focal dystonia involving the lower extremity. All patients were female. Surgical management was performed to correct clinically significant foot abnormalities. The goal of each procedure was functional improvement and obtaining a plantigrade foot. The SPLATT (split anterior tibial tendon transfer) procedure was performed in each foot with a flexible equinovarus foot abnormality. Follow up at a mean of 27.2 months (range, 8–40 months) yielded satisfactory clinical results withou
