Factors affecting the rates of incidental parathyroidectomy during thyroidectomy
CONCLUSIONS: We found that the complication rate during the resident training process was the same as that of experienced general surgeons. A thyroidectomy can be safely performed by senior residents during residential training.PMID:38445585 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2024.0019 (Source: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England)

Ocular radiation exposure is negligible in normal volume endourological practice
CONCLUSIONS: The International Commission on Radiological Protection recently reduced the yearly eye dose limit from 150 to 20mSv. Cataractogenesis is no longer considered a typical deterministic effect, with a threshold level below which no effect occurs. Even in higher volume centres, these annual limits are unlikely to be reached. Lead glasses may be considered for surgeons and radiologists with the highest exposure but, for the majority, ocular radiation exposure is negligible.PMID:38445592 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2024.0004 (Source: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England)

Opinion, uptake and current practice of robot-assisted upper gastrointestinal and oesophagogastric surgery in the UK: AUGIS national survey results
CONCLUSIONS: Robotic upper GI practice is nascent but rapidly growing in the UK with plans for uptake in almost all tertiary centres. There is growing opinion that this is likely to become the predominant surgical approach in future with benefits to both patients and surgeons. This snapshot offers a point of reference to all stakeholders in upper GI surgery.PMID:38445600 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2024.0013 (Source: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England)

Comparison of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in children at paediatric centres and adult centres: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The number of LCs performed, intraoperative cholangiography use and conversion rates were higher at ACs whereas bile duct injury and reoperation rates were higher at PCs. Despite a higher incidence of bile duct injury at PCs, the incidence at both PCs and ACs was <1%. In complex cases, a joint operation by both paediatric and adult surgeons might be a better approach to further improve outcomes. Overall, LC was found to be a safe operation with comparable outcomes at PCs and ACs.PMID:38445605 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2023.0041 (Source: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England)

The performance of large language models in intercollegiate Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons examination
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings demonstrated satisfactory performance for all three LLMs in the MRCS Part A examination, with GPT 4.0 the only LLM that achieved the pass mark set.PMID:38445611 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2024.0023 (Source: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England)

Management of acute colonic pseudo-obstruction: opportunities to improve care?
CONCLUSIONS: ACPO is often managed remotely by general surgeons. This may impact on the quality of conservative management, and timeliness of endoscopic or pharmacological intervention. Further work is needed to optimise management.PMID:38445579 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2024.0017 (Source: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England)

Use of jejunal serosal patch and pyloric exclusion in the management of complex duodenal injury
We describe the techniques used in one case of complex duodenal trauma.TECHNIQUE: The duodenum is approached via a standard laparotomy with Kocherisation. Primary repair of the duodenal perforations is performed using a 3/0 polydioxanone suture (PDS), followed by mobilisation of a loop of mid-jejunum against the area of duodenal trauma over the primary repair as a jejunal serosal patch. The antimesenteric jejunal serosal border is sutured to the serosa of the duodenum (serosa only) using a 3/0 PDS. Pyloric exclusion is then performed through an anterior gastrostomy, to control the volume of gastric juice entering the duode...
