Standardized and thorough model reporting is an integral component in the development and deployment of machine learning models in health care. Model reporting includes sharing multiple model performance metrics and incorporating metadata to provide the necessary context for model evaluation. Thorough model reporting addresses common concerns about artificial intelligence in health care including model explainability, transparency, fairness, and generalizability. All stages in the model development lifecycle, from initial design to data capture to model deployment, can be communicated openly to stakeholders with responsibl...

Primary Tissue Repair for Inguinal Hernias
It is estimated that approximately one in four men and one in 20 women will develop an inguinal hernia over the course of their lifetime. A non-mesh inguinal hernia repair via the Shouldice technique is a unique approach that necessitates dissection of the entire groin region as well as careful assessment for any secondary hernias. Subsequently, a pure tissue laminated closure allows the repair to be performed without tension. Herein, the authors describe a brief overview of inguinal hernias and discuss the relevant patient evaluation, operative steps of the Shouldice procedure, and postoperative considerations.

The Role of Robotics in Abdominal Wall Reconstruction
Robotic abdominal wall reconstruction is becoming an accepted technique to approach complex hernias in a minimally invasive fashion. There remain a deficit of high-quality data to suggest significant clinical benefit but current randomized trials are ongoing. Robotic surgery can be applied to a range of abdominal wall defects safely and with positive outcomes which are at least equivocal to open abdominal wall techniques.

Burns: Recent Advances and Perennial Challenges
In this issue of Surgical Clinics, we document advances and challenges across the entire spectrum of burn care –from prehospital, austere, and mass-casualty environments; to the intensive care unit (ICU) and operating room; all the way to postburn recovery and reintegration.

Critical Care of the Burn Patient
Care of the critically ill burned patient must integrate a multidisciplinary care team composed of burn care specialists. As resuscitative mortality decreases more patients are surviving to experience multisystem organ failure relating to complications of their injuries. Clinicians must be aware of physiologic changes following burn injury and the implicated impacts on management strategy. Promoting wound closure and rehabilitation should be the backdrop for which management decisions are made. (Source: Surgical Clinics of North America)

Radiation Injuries
Radiation-related injuries are rare. Yet the consequences of an event involving a radiation source can be substantial. As with any clinical emergency that rarely occurs, we are typically less prepared to deal with the situation. Compounding the crisis will be the “worried well” population who may believe that they too are contaminated or suffering from radiation poisoning and report to the hospital for evaluation. Identifying and triaging those who are sick or injured, managing the surge of patients, and knowing where resources can be accessed are all es sential. (Source: Surgical Clinics of North America)

Burn Care in Low-Resource and Austere Settings
More than 95% of the 11 million burns that occur annually happen in low-resource settings, and 70% of those occur among children. Although some low- and middle-income countries have well-organized emergency care systems, many have not prioritized care for the injured and experience unsatisfactory outcomes after burn injury. This chapter outlines key considerations for burn care in low-resource settings. (Source: Surgical Clinics of North America)

Prehospital and Emergency Management
Burn care in the prehospital and emergency settings requires rapid assessment of airway, breathing, and circulation. Intubation (if indicated) and fluid resuscitation are most important in emergency burn care. Total body surface area burned and depth of burn are important early assessments that help guide resuscitation and disposition. Burn care in the emergency department further includes carbon monoxide and cyanide toxicity evaluation and management. (Source: Surgical Clinics of North America)
