Exploring the Use of a Fit-for-Purpose Surgical Headlight in Sub-Saharan Africa: Mixed Methods Study
ConclusionLighting in surveyed operating rooms was poor. Although conditions and need for the headlights differed between Ethiopia and Liberia, headlights were considered highly useful. However, discomfort was a major limiting factor for ongoing use, and the hardest to objectively characterise for specification and engineering purposes. Specific needs for surgical headlights include comfort and durability. Refinement of a fit-for-purpose surgical headlight is ongoing. (Source: World Journal of Surgery)

Rib Fixation for Multiple Rib Fractures: Healthcare Professionals Perceived Barriers and Facilitators to Clinical Implementation
ConclusionFor adequate implementation of SSRF in patients with multiple rib fractures, implementation strategies should address the identified barriers. Especially, improved clinical experience and scientific knowledge of healthcare professionals, and high-level evidence on the (cost-) effectiveness of SSRF potentially increase its use and acceptance.

Trends and Variations in Drain Use Following Pancreatoduodenectomy: Is Early Drain Removal Becoming More Common?
Conclusions Routine drain placement remains a common practice among most surgeons. EDR following PD increased over time was associated with lower post-operative complications and shorter LOS. Despite evidence that EDR was safe and may even be associated with lower complications, only 1 in 6 patients were managed with EDR. (Source: World Journal of Surgery)

Mid-term Results of an ERAS Program of Bariatric Surgery in a Tertiary Referral Center
ConclusionsOne in five patients with bariatric surgery failed to discharge earlier despite the ERAS program. Knowledge of these preoperative risk factors would allow us to identify patients who need more recovery time and a tailored approach to the ERAS protocol. (Source: World Journal of Surgery)

Percutaneous Transhepatic Gallbladder Intervention as a Bridge to Cholecystectomy: Aspiration or Drainage?
ConclusionsPTGBA is more prone to failure than PTGBD; however, it is a simpler gallbladder drainage treatment method without the need for X-ray fluoroscopy and catheter management after the procedure. Evaluating the risk of PTGBA failure using CT findings and onset date would help us choose a drainage approach more effectively. (Source: World Journal of Surgery)

The Emergency Surgery Frailty Index (EmSFI) in Elderly Patients with Acute Appendicitis: An External Validation of Prognostic Score
ConclusionThe EmSFI score results a valid prognostic marker for frailty status, and it may support the surgeon in emergency setting for acute appendicitis. Patients aged 80 years or older have a higher risk of complications, independent from those factors which relate to increased morbidity in younger elderly patients. Age alone is not a reliable indicator of the real surgical risk, but it must encourage the adoption of multidisciplinary collaborative models of care for this group of patients.
