Defining the Canadian rural general surgeon
CONCLUSION: Rural general surgeons in Canada can be defined as specialists who work in a small community with limited metropolitan influence. They apply core general surgery skills and skills from other specialties to serve the unique needs of their community. Surgical training programs and health systems planning must recognize and support the unique skill set required of rural general surgeons and the critical role they play in the health and sustainability of rural communities.PMID:38548298 | PMC:PMC10980533 | DOI:10.1503/cjs.002123 (Source: Canadian Journal of Surgery)

Comparing immediate postoperative outcomes of different VATS approaches for anatomical lung resection: a single-centre retrospective study
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that incision location and the number of VATS ports is not associated with differences in the incidence of perioperative complications or postoperative pain. Given the limitations described above, further studies with longer follow-up intervals are required to explore the lasting impact of this surgical approach on quality of life.PMID:38548299 | PMC:PMC10980531 | DOI:10.1503/cjs.010622 (Source: Canadian Journal of Surgery)

Position statement: management of proximal humerus fractures
Can J Surg. 2024 Mar 19;67(2):E112-E117. doi: 10.1503/cjs.007822. Print 2024 Jan-Feb.ABSTRACTWe sought to compare outcomes and reoperation rates for the surgical treatment of proximal humerus fractures (excluding head-splitting fractures, fracture-dislocations, and isolated greater-tuberosity fractures) in men and women older than 60 years. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane through to Feb. 1, 2022, and included all English-language randomized trials comparing operative versus nonoperative treatment; open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with locking plate versus intramedullary nail; arthroplasty versus ORIF; ...

Knowledge, perceptions, attitudes, and barriers pertaining to genetic literacy among surgeons: a scoping review
CONCLUSION: Surgeons frequently engage in genetics-related tasks despite a lack of formal genetics training, and often report low knowledge, comfort, and confidence in providing such services. We have identified several barriers to genetic literacy that can be used to develop interventions to enhance genetic literacy among surgeons.PMID:38503461 | PMC:PMC10959449 | DOI:10.1503/cjs.001523 (Source: Canadian Journal of Surgery)
