Management of Injuries to the Parenchymal Abdominal Organs
Zentralbl Chir. 2024 Apr 29. doi: 10.1055/a-2301-7951. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe most common organs affected by abdominal trauma are the spleen and the liver, often in combination. Pancreatic injuries are rare. In the case of blunt abdominal trauma, which is much more common, a clinical and laboratory examination as well as sonography should be performed. In the initial assessment, the circulatory situation must be screened. If there is haemodynamic instability and presentation of free fluid, an emergency laparotomy is indicated. If the situation is stable or stabilised and a pathological sonography is present, it ...

Giant thigh lipomas: from a case report to a guide for the surgical approach
This study argues for the need of contextualisation of the immigrant paradox as evidence thereof varies dependent on specific outcomes and communities. The importance of other associated social determinants of wellbeing is also highlighted since gender, race, age, class, education, relationship status, location, and behavioural factors were found to be significantly associated with wellbeing. Policies should thus be aimed at reducing structural inequalities in broad whilst also introducing social programmes that reduce behavioural or lifestyle activities that have negative implications on wellbeing.PMID:38682001 | PMC:PMC1...

Direct Variable Cost Comparison of Endoscopic Versus Open Carpal Tunnel Release: A Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing Analysis
This study used TDABC to compare the facility costs of open carpal tunnel release (OCTR) and endoscopic carpal tunnel release (ECTR).METHODS: We identified 845 consecutive, unilateral carpal tunnel release (516 open, 329 endoscopic) surgeries performed at an orthopaedic specialty hospital between 2015 and 2021. Itemized facility costs were calculated using a TDABC algorithm. Patient demographics, comorbidities, surgical characteristics, and itemized costs were compared between OCTR and ECTR. Multivariate regression was used to determine the independent effect of endoscopic surgery on true facility costs.RESULTS: Total faci...

Complications After Ankle Fracture Surgery in Finland Between 1998 and 2020
CONCLUSIONS: Although postoperative complications are relatively rare, their treatment can lead to considerable morbidity. The findings of this study allow us to identify patients who are prone to complications or reoperations after undergoing operative treatment for ankle fracture.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prognostic Level III.

Neural Interconnections of Extracranial Nerves in Headache Surgery: Anatomical Landmarks and Clinical Implications - A Review of Literature
Plast Reconstr Surg. 2024 Apr 29. doi: 10.1097/PRS.0000000000011504. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHeadache disorders (HD) remain a nationwide challenge for the US healthcare system affecting nearly 60% of the US population. Surgical deactivation of the peripheral trigger site, also referred to as headache surgery, represents an effective treatment for patients with refractory HD pain or non-response to pharmacological regimes. Research stemming from other surgical specialties has underlined the clinical relevance of neural interconnections in refining diagnostic algorithms, adapting surgical techniques, and improving over...

The effect of Medicaid expansion on rates of carpal tunnel release: an interrupted time series analysis

Managing Severe Postburn Wrist Flexion Contracture by Proximal Row Carpectomy and Abdominal Interpolation Flap
Conclusion Proximal row carpectomy shortens the length of the wrist, resurfaces the wrist joint, and provides a release in tendons and other soft tissues. Together with soft tissue transfer, this technique can be used for severe wrist flexion contractures.PMID:38681246 | PMC:PMC11046275 | DOI:10.1177/22925503221107213 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Global disparities in surgeons ’ workloads, academic engagement and rest periods: the on-calL shIft fOr geNEral SurgeonS (LIONESS) study
AbstractThe workload of general surgeons is multifaceted, encompassing not only surgical procedures but also a myriad of other responsibilities. From April to May 2023, we conducted a CHERRIES-compliant internet-based survey analyzing clinical practice, academic engagement, and post-on-call rest. The questionnaire featured six sections with 35 questions. Statistical analysis used Chi-square tests, ANOVA, and logistic regression (SPSS® v. 28). The survey received a total of 1.046 responses (65.4%). Over 78.0% of responders came from Europe, 65.1% came from a general surgery unit; 92.8% of European and 87.5% of North Americ...

Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction with Double-Bundle Constructs Provide Improved Maintenance of Reduction but Comparable Clinical Outcomes Versus Single-Bundle Constructs
Treatment of acute acromioclavicular (AC) joint separations is dependent on a variety of factors including severity, acuity, patient demographics, activity level, and surgeon preferences. For more severe or unstable separations (Rockwood types IIIB, IV, V, and VI), surgical intervention is typically recommended. Over 160 surgical techniques have been described, but none have emerged as a gold standard. Arthroscopic-assisted or all-arthroscopic fixation of the coracoclavicular (CC) ligaments with suture buttons has become increasingly popular due to lower complication rates compared to more rigid fixation.
