In a survey of female physicians who had changed jobs or left medicine, surgeons more often pointed to pay inequity and mistreatment than nonsurgeons—workplace culture may be a retention issue.
A single case shows the Hugo RAS can complete abdominoperineal resection through the planned stoma site without arm interference—a technical proof of concept, not evidence of better outcomes.
In a 10-procedure pilot, deep learning identified abdominal wall layers in optical trocar-entry video with promising accuracy—but this is not yet evidence of safer access.
This study reveals that resident participation in robotic cholecystectomy and inguinal hernia repair significantly varies by operative phase and training level, highlighting potential training gaps.
A new seven-item checklist, SMART, aims to standardize the reporting of modifications during the development of innovative surgical procedures and devices, addressing inconsistencies that could impact research quality and implementation.
Artificial intelligence is progressively being integrated into robotic surgical skills training, but its application remains in early development stages, limiting widespread uptake.
Surgical prediction models using NSQIP data have significantly lower discrimination ability compared to those using non-NSQIP data, particularly for infection outcomes.
Using electronic health record data, a pilot study reveals that surgical residents performing consultations improve in speed but not in medication reconciliation as they gain experience.
General surgery residency is increasingly focused on core procedures, with a significant decline in advanced operative experience over the last 16 years, which is concerning for diverse surgical practice.
Surgeons should be aware of the high suicide rates among residents, especially early in their training, emphasizing the need for enhanced support systems and preventive strategies.
