Accuracy of CT Scan for Detecting Hollow Viscus Injury in Penetrating Abdominal Trauma
ConclusionSingle-contrast CT in penetrating abdominal trauma is a valuable investigative tool in identifying patients for SNOM. Features of HVI on single-contrast CT are not very specific and should be interpreted along with other clinical factors including wound trajectory and serial abdominal examinations. Other associated injuries such as diaphragmatic and solid organ injuries should be considered in the final management plan. (Source: World Journal of Surgery)

Clinical Practices Following Train-The-Trainer Trauma Course Completion in Uganda: A Parallel-Convergent Mixed-Methods Study
ConclusionsTrained providers view short-term trauma training interventions positively, but these courses may lack long-term impact due to barriers to adopting best practices. Trauma courses should include more frontline providers, target skill transference and retention, and increase the proportion of trained providers at each facility to promote communities of practice. Essential supplies and infrastructure in facilities must be consistent for providers to practice what they have learned. (Source: World Journal of Surgery)

Indications, Challenges, and Characteristics of Successful Implementation of Perioperative Registries in Low Resource Settings: A Systematic Review
AbstractPerioperative registries can be utilised to track outcomes, develop risk prediction models, and make evidence-based decisions and interventions. To better understand and support initiatives to establish clinical registries, this study aimed to assess the indications, challenges, and characteristics of successful perioperative registries in low-resource settings, where there is unmet surgical demand and patients have a mortality rate up to double that of high-income countries. We conducted a librarian-assisted literature search of international research databases of articles published between January 1969 and Januar...

Implementing Enhanced Perioperative Care in Emergency General Surgery: A Prospective Multicenter Observational Study
ConclusionsThe present study supports that an enhanced recovery protocol in emergency surgery is feasible and safe. Laparoscopy was associated with an earlier recovery, whereas preoperative hyperglycemia, fluid overload, and abdominal drain were associated with a delayed recovery.

General Anesthesia Versus Regional Anesthesia in the Elderly Patients Undergoing Hip Fracture Surgeries: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials
ConclusionsOur pooled analysis identified no significant differences in terms of the safety between RA and GA, while RA reduces intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stays and duration of surgery. These results suggest that RA appears to be preferable for the elderly patients with hip fractures. (Source: World Journal of Surgery)

A Meta-Analysis of Endoscopic Stenting Versus Surgical Treatment for Malignant Gastric Outlet Obstruction
ConclusionsBoth procedures have advantages and disadvantages. Probably we should not find the best palliation but the best approach based on the patient characteristics and tumor type. (Source: World Journal of Surgery)

Increased Surgical Delays Seen During the COVID-19 Pandemic in a Regional Referral Hospital in Soroti, Uganda: Perspective from a Low-Resource Setting
This study assesses changes in surgical capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic at Soroti Regional Referral Hospital, a tertiary healthcare facility in Soroti, Uganda.MethodsPatients from a prospective general surgery registry at SRRH were divided into cohorts admitted prior to the pandemic (January 2017 to February 2020) and during the pandemic (March 2020 to May 2021). Demographics, pre-hospital characteristics, in-hospital characteristics, provider-reported delays in care, and adverse events were compared between cohorts.ResultsOf the 1547 general surgery patients, 1159 were admitted prior to the pandemic and 388 were adm...
