Surgical outcomes of total duct excision in the diagnosis and management of nipple discharge
CONCLUSIONS: TDE can be considered for the diagnostics and management of nipple discharge. Blood-stained nipple discharge increases the risk of DCIS or malignancy, but the majority of the time TDE reveals benign breast pathology.PMID:38497796 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2022.0093 (Source: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England)

Systematic review of survival following liver or lung metastasectomy for metastatic anal squamous cell carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: The evidence base for metastasectomy in metastatic anal SCC is limited. Further information is required to inform future treatment methods and use of a standardised outcomes reporting method is needed to support this.PMID:38497793 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2023.0005 (Source: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England)

Validation of the emergency surgery score (ESS) in a UK patient population and comparison with NELA scoring: a retrospective multicentre cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: In the UK population, ESS and NELA both predict 30-day mortality and ICU admission with no statistically significant difference but with higher c-statistics for NELA score. Both scores have certain advantages, with ESS being validated for a wider range of outcomes.PMID:38478020 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2023.0105 (Source: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England)

The effect of antiplatelet therapy and oral anticoagulants on the accuracy of faecal immunochemical testing
CONCLUSIONS: FIT accuracy for CRC detection remained unaffected despite more patients testing positive in the exposed group. FIT should be considered a supplementary tool for triage. Antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs do not need to be discontinued before collection of FIT.PMID:38478034 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2024.0015 (Source: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England)

A survey of patient acceptability of the use of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of paediatric fractures: an observational study
CONCLUSIONS: Carer perceptions towards the use of AI in this setting are positive. However, they are not yet ready to relinquish human decision making to automated systems.PMID:38478040 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2024.0008 (Source: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England)

Postoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) is equivalent to perioperative PTH drop in predicting postsurgical hypoparathyroidism
CONCLUSIONS: Day 1 PTH is equivalent to (if not better than) drop in PTH in predicting short- and long-term PoSH. Preoperative PTH measurements may not be needed in the detection and/or management of PoSH after thyroid surgery.PMID:38478048 | DOI:10.1308/rcsann.2024.0001 (Source: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England)
