The five that matter, every day.
The DoubleCheck study implemented an enhanced care bundle targeting modifiable risk factors during colorectal surgery, resulting in a significant reduction in colorectal anastomotic leakage (CAL) compared to historical controls. Patients in the intervention group experienced fewer intraoperative risk factors and a lower incidence of CAL…
Students from institutions with home surgical residency programs were 1.76 times more likely to match into surgical specialties compared to those without, resulting in 39.1% match rate for the former and 22.3% for the latter. Additionally, students with home programs were more likely to match…
Robotic warshaw procedure (r-wp) demonstrated superiority over laparoscopic (l-wp) in reducing postoperative splenic infarction incidence, despite longer operative times. Among 33 cases analyzed, r-wp completed procedures laparoscopically, while l-wp required open conversion in 8.7% cases. Although r-wp showed prolonged surgery duration (421 vs. 300 min),…
YIV-906, combined with standard neoadjuvant chemoradiation for locally advanced rectal cancer, markedly decreased severe gastrointestinal toxicity. The study enrolled 24 patients, achieving a 16.7% complete or near-complete response rate and a median overall survival of 74.9 months. Notably, acute grade 3 diarrhea occurred in only…
An AI model effectively evaluates surgical skill in robotic distal gastrectomy (RDG) by accurately recognizing and analyzing instrument usage. Experienced surgeons demonstrated shorter durations using specific instruments during infrapyloric lymphadenectomy compared to non-experienced surgeons. This study showcases the feasibility of using AI for objective skill…
