Colorectal polyp classification and management of complex polyps for surgeon endoscopists
Can J Surg. 2023 Sep 21;66(5):E491-E498. doi: 10.1503/cjs.011422. Print 2023 Sep-Oct.ABSTRACTSummaryIncreasing familiarity with advanced endoscopic excision techniques allows for more colorectal lesions to be removed without major surgery. Endoscopic excision with negative margins is adequate for most polyps and low-risk T1 cancers. The use of modern polyp classification techniques based on size, morphology and pit pattern by an experienced endoscopist allow for an optical diagnosis of these lesions and can predict, with high accuracy, which lesions contain malignant disease and the level of invasion. A surgeon endoscopist...

The influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on total hip and knee arthroplasty in Ontario: a population-level analysis
CONCLUSION: The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on elective THA and TKA case volumes and wait times was significant. Patients having surgery during the pandemic were less medically complex, had shorter length of hospital stays and had significantly less health care utilization.PMID:37734851 | DOI:10.1503/cjs.016122

Cholecystectomy following endoscopic clearance of common bile duct during the same admission
CONCLUSION: Cholecystectomy during the same admission after common bile duct clearance is safe, even in older adults with comorbidities. Compared with delayed cholecystectomy, it was not associated with adverse outcomes and may have prevented recurrence of biliary events.PMID:37734850 | DOI:10.1503/cjs.008322

Improving the quality of care of Canadians waiting for elective surgery: an important health care priority
Can J Surg. 2023 Sep 21;66(5):E474-E475. doi: 10.1503/cjs.015922. Print 2023 Sep-Oct.ABSTRACTSummaryThe backlog of cases on surgical wait lists is a substantial problem for surgical patients, their families, surgeons, health care systems and governments. There are several approaches governments can take to improve the health, well-being and surgical outcomes of waiting patients. First, provinces should consider patient-centred approaches to triaging that reflect pain, symptoms or functional gain, and approaches using multidisciplinary teams or centralized triage. Second, governments could provide prehabilitation and mental...

Utility of routine postoperative chest radiography in patients undergoing clavicle fixation: a retrospective chart review
CONCLUSION: Since 2009, the rate of routine postoperative chest radiography following ORIF of clavicle fractures is 36.7% at our centre. During this time period, none of the 101 patients who had postoperative chest radiographs had a postoperative iatrogenic pneumothorax. To our knowledge, this is the largest series of patients available, and our findings confirm those of several smaller studies. Owing to the low rate of postoperative iatrogenic pneumothorax, we conclude that postoperative chest radiography is unnecessary following ORIF of clavicle fractures.PMID:37673439 | DOI:10.1503/cjs.013421

Examining the equity and diversity characteristics of academic general surgeons hired in Canada
CONCLUSION: The academic general surgery workforce appears to be somewhat diverse. However, there was substantial heterogeneity in diversity between hospitals, leaving room for improvement. We must be willing to examine our hiring processes and be transparent about them to build an equitable surgical workforce.PMID:37673438 | DOI:10.1503/cjs.006122

Continuity of primary care and emergency department visits following knee and hip replacement surgery: a retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSION: Having multiple primary care providers before surgery increased the likelihood of negative outcomes following knee or hip replacement surgery compared with having a single provider. Presurgical conversations should include primary care history to improve postsurgical outcomes.PMID:37673437 | DOI:10.1503/cjs.016622
