Publication Rate of Abstracts Presented at the Annual Congress of the European Society for Surgical Research during 2008-2011
Conclusion: The ESSR congress is an efficient meeting for researchers from varied surgical disciplines and has a PR equivalent to that of similar scientific meetings. The congress has achieved a PR of 40.9% over 4 years with an average IF of 2.696 and a mean time to publication of 17.5 months, which is equivalent to that of similar scientific meetings. OPs have a higher PR in journals with greater IF values as compared with PPs.Eur Surg Res 2016;56:132-140 (Source: European Surgical Research)

Beneficial Effect of a Resorbable Biliary Stent in Living Donor Liver Transplantation
Conclusion: The use of an RBS in LDLT is not associated with complications, and initial results regarding efficacy and safety are encouraging. The need for a larger and prospective study is warranted.Eur Surg Res 2016;56:123-131 (Source: European Surgical Research)

Standard Biocompatibility Studies Do Not Predict All Effects of PVA/CMC Anti-Adhesive Gel in vivo
Conclusion: Comparing the standardized ISO10993 methods, anti-adhesive PVA/CMC gel displays good biocompatibility. However, those methods do not seem to be sensitive enough because the rabbit abdominal wall and the end-to-end anastomosis models display more effects with respect to the dosage and routes of the intra-abdominal resorption of PVA/CMC gel - with the recommended (Source: European Surgical Research)

Lifelike Vascular Reperfusion of a Thiel-Embalmed Pig Model and Evaluation as a Surgical Training Tool
This study investigated whether ideal embalming circumstances provide lifelike vascular flow, enabling surgical practice and enhancing anatomical reality. Methods: Pressure-controlled pump-driven administration of blue embalming solution was assessed directly postmortem in a pig model (n = 4). Investigation of subsequent pump-driven vascular injection of red paraffinum perliquidum (PP) included assessment of flow parameters, intracorporeal distribution, anatomical alterations, and feasibility for surgical training. The microscopic distribution of PP was analyzed in pump-embalmed pig and gravity-embalmed human small intesti...
