Guideline Implementation Is Improving Trauma Care in the Wild, Wild West
A core tenet in the care of patients with brain injury is prevention of secondary brain injury. In the immediate postinjury period, the patient ’s physiology must be carefully managed to adequately perfuse and oxygenate the brain. Maintaining optimal oxygenation, ventilation, blood pressure, and temperature is critical to maximize patient outcomes. Even a single instance of deviation from the optimal ranges can lead to additional irrevers ible brain injury and increase the risk of death. We know the data, but historically have had difficulty changing practice to achieve these targets. How can trauma systems manage patien...

Examining Gender Disparities Among Physicians When Sample Sizes Differ —Reply
In Reply We read with interest the letters from Manoj and Singh and from Rehm and colleagues regarding our recent work. It is clear from responses to this study, as well as previous publications, that this is a topic of great interest not just among surgeons but across the profession of medicine and indeed more broadly in society. Many of the comments arising in regards to this article bear similarities to those relating to prior publications that we have addressed previously. (Source: JAMA Surgery)

Examining Gender Disparities Among Physicians When Sample Sizes Differ
To the Editor We read with interest the recent publication by Wallis and colleagues. There are several mismatches between the male-female groups, which support that the reported outcome differences in mortality, readmission, and complication rate might be the result of male surgeons having performed more complex surgeries (high complexity: male surgeons = 65.7%; female surgeons = 59.5%) on older patients (mean patient age: male surgeons = 60 years; female surgeon = 52.5 years) with more serious medical problems (comorbidity aggregate disease group ≥11: male surgeons = 20.3%; female surgeons = 17....

Examining Gender Disparities Among Physicians When Sample Sizes Differ
To the Editor We are writing in response to the article titled “Surgeon Sex and Long-Term Postoperative Outcomes Among Patients Undergoing Common Surgeries,” by Wallis et al. The study has illuminated a significant issue within our industry, and we would like to contribute to the research. (Source: JAMA Surgery)

Robotic Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy —Ready for Prime Time?
In this study of 40 robotic mastectomies in 20 women using a single-port robotic platform, Farr et al expand on existing literature by demonstrating feasibility and safety with the more convenient single-port platform. At this point, the issue is not whether robotic mastectomy can be done, but whether there is sufficient information about its oncologic safety that it should be done. A 2019 US Food and Drug Administration safety communication, updated in August 2021, stated that the safety and effectiveness of robotically assisted mastectomy for the treatment or prevention of breast cancer had not been established and indic...
