ABSTRACT

Introducción. Las lesiones musculoesqueléticas traen consecuencias en los profesionales quirúrgicos, y más aún en cirujanos de cabeza y cuello, que conllevan gran carga de discapacidad y ausentismo laboral, ocasionando retiro temprano, restricciones o modificaciones en la práctica quirúrgica. Métodos. Se seleccionaron publicaciones de las bases de datos Pubmed, Embase y LILACS. Se incluyeron todos los estudios que midieron la prevalencia de lesiones musculoesqueléticas y la presencia de riesgo ergonómico, síntomas asociados, uso de escalas de medición y estrategias de prevención. Los efectos estimados de los estudios se mostraron con intervalo de confianza del 95 %. Resultados. Se encontraron 438 estudios. Después de la revisión, se incluyeron 7 estudios, con un total de 868 pacientes. Se estimó mediante un metaanálisis de efectos aleatorios una prevalencia del 81 %. Conclusiones. Los problemas posturales en cirujanos de cabeza y cuello tienen una prevalencia de 81 %. Esto genera un gran impacto en su salud física y mental, aumentando las incapacidades y pérdida de años laborales. Las herramientas utilizadas para la evaluación son heterogéneas y algunos estudios no incluyen datos como los años de práctica y el nivel de entrenamiento.


Introduction. Musculoskeletal injuries have consequences for surgical professionals, and even more so for head and neck surgeons, which entail a large burden of disability and absenteeism from work, causing early retirement, restrictions or modifications in surgical practice. Methods. Publications were selected from the Pubmed, Embase and LILACS databases. All studies that measured the prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries and the presence of ergonomic risk, associated symptoms, use of measurement scales and prevention strategies were included. The estimated effects of the studies were shown with a 95% confidence interval. Results. 438 studies were found. After the review, seven studies were included, with a total of 868 patients. A prevalence of 81% was estimated through a random effects meta-analysis. Conclusions. Postural problems in head and neck surgeons have a prevalence of 81%. This generates a great impact on their physical and mental health, increasing disabilities and loss of working years. The tools used for evaluation are heterogeneous and some studies do not include data such as years of practice and level of training.

ABSTRACT

Background Morbidity and mortality following emergency surgeries can be reduced with timely access to emergency surgery and five billion people globally, lack access to essential surgery. Data on the determinants of these are still lacking. Objectives We studied resident doctors' perspectives of the patient-, healthcare-giver-, and health-institution-related determinants of access to emergency surgery at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria. Methodology This self-administered, questionnaire-based, cross-sectional survey involved eighty-five resident doctors; recruited using systematic random sampling. Ethical approval (UI/EC/20/0318) and prospective registration (NCT04487496) were obtained. Results Major patient-related sources of delays included financial constraints (97.7%), patient's consent (78.8%), guardian's consent (74.1%) and diagnosis denial (70.6%). Anaesthetists (65.9%) caused and surgeons (61.2%) reduced delays. The healthcare-giver factors were provision of blood (84.7%), optimization of patient (83.5%), unavailable theatre space (82.4%), anaesthetic personnel fatigue (67.1%), surgical personnel fatigue (43.5%) and time-to-diagnosis (58.8%). Diagnostic delays were mostly from investigations (97.6%) and missed diagnosis (47.1%). Unavailable bedspace (82.4%), delays in arrival (82.4%) and entry (74.1%) into the theatre were major health institution challenges. Establishing diagnosis was delayed by payment for (96.5%) and doing (88.2%) diagnostic investigations, and time-to-review by specialist team (80.0%). Arrival in theatre was affected by theatre trolley conveying patient (70.6%), pre-anaesthesia review (70.6%) and pre-operative nursing logistics (64.7%). Entry into the suite depended on payment/payment deferment (87.06%) and suites being unavailable (75.3%). Conclusion patient, and the surgical procedure. The patient factors were poor finances, diagnosis denial and giving of consent for surgery. We encourage (recommend) physician-run point-of-care diagnostics in emergency rooms (ER), with improved health insurance coverage, ER bedspace, and personnel (surgical and anaesthesiological).

ABSTRACT

Objective: To describe the pro file of surgeons who treat patients with inflammatory bowel disease as well as the characteristics of inflammatory bowel disease care, unmet demands, and difficulties. Methods: The research participants answered a Google Forms questionnaire. Results: Of the 99 surgeons who participated in the survey, 84.5% were coloproctologists, 40% were from the southeastern region of Brazil, and 77.7% were male and had been working for more than 19 years. Regarding the healthcare sector, 63.6% of surgeons worked in both public and private clinics, and most clinically cared for up to 50 patients with inflammatory bowel disease and operated on up to 5 cases per year. Conclusion: This is the first national study that aimed to identify the profile of surgeons working with inflammatory bowel disease in Brazil. The vast majority are experienced male coloproctologists, located in the southern and southeastern regions, who perform clinical and surgical treatment of these pathologies, with major surgeries being performed in large centers by a small number of surgeons.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To explore artificial intelligence's impact on surgical education, highlighting its advantages and challenges. Methods: A comprehensive search across databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar was conducted to compile relevant studies. Results: Artificial intelligence offers several advantages in surgical training. It enables highly realistic simulation environments for the safe practice of complex procedures. Artificial intelligence provides personalized real-time feedback, improving trainees' skills. It efficiently processes clinical data, enhancing diagnostics and surgical planning. Artificial intelligence-assisted surgeries promise precision and minimally invasive procedures. Challenges include data security, resistance to artificial intelligence adoption, and ethical considerations. Conclusions: Stricter policies and regulatory compliance are needed for data privacy. Addressing surgeons' and educators' reluctance to embrace artificial intelligence is crucial. Integrating artificial intelligence into curricula and providing ongoing training are vital. Ethical, bioethical, and legal aspects surrounding artificial intelligence demand attention. Establishing clear ethical guidelines, ensuring transparency, and implementing supervision and accountability are essential. As artificial intelligence evolves in surgical training, research and development remain crucial. Future studies should explore artificial intelligence-driven personalized training and monitor ethical and legal regulations. In summary, artificial intelligence is shaping the future of general surgeons, offering advanced simulations, personalized feedback, and improved patient care. However, addressing data security, adoption resistance, and ethical concerns is vital. Adapting curricula and providing continuous training are essential to maximize artificial intelligence's potential, promoting ethical and safe surgery.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Las relaciones interdisciplinares se caracterizan por que profesionales con distinta formación se unen para cruzar los límites tradicionales entre varias disciplinas académicas, en busca de nuevos enfoques teórico-prácticos. Objetivo: Actualizar sobre las relaciones interdisciplinarias entre anestesiólogos y cirujanos, así como su alcance en el programa de formación de ambas especialidades. Desarrollo: La interdisciplinariedad entre anestesiología y cirugía demanda el conocimiento del objeto de estudio de forma integral. Esto conlleva múltiples enfoques metodológicos, con el fin de lograr cada vez mejores soluciones a los problemas. Es un proceso complejo, toda vez que se sobreponen dos especialidades diferentes con la visión de un paciente en común. Esta resulta la filosofía de caracterizar todos los puntos de vista que hagan coincidir ambas especialidades en la búsqueda sistemática de integración de teorías, métodos e instrumentos en su interactuar. Conclusiones: Los anestesiólogos y los cirujanos en su modo de actuación establecen relaciones interdisciplinarias. No obstante, se identifica que en el programa de formación de cada una de estas especialidades prevalece una lógica académica disciplinar y no se precisan formas de enseñanzas con carácter interdisciplinario como factor que contribuirá a una dimensión más efectiva en el aprendizaje(AU)


Introduction: Interdisciplinary relationships are characterized by professionals with different training coming together to cross the traditional boundaries between various academic disciplines, in search of new theoretical-practical approaches. Objective: To update on the interdisciplinary relationships between anesthesiologists and surgeons, as well as their scope in the training program of both specialties. Development: The interdisciplinarity between anesthesiology and surgery demands an comprehensive knowledge of the object of study. This entails multiple methodological approaches, in order to achieve, at any moment, better solutions to problems. It is a complex process, since two different specialties are superimposed with the approach on a common patient. This comes to be the philosophy of characterizing all the points of view that make both specialties coincide in the systematic search for integration of theories, methods and instruments in their interaction. Conclusions: Anesthesiologists and surgeons, in their mode of action, establish interdisciplinary relationships. However, the training programs of these specialties have been identified to have a prevailing disciplinary academic logic, without requiring any interdisciplinary forms of teaching as a factor that will contribute to a more effective dimension in learning(AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La fractura de radio distal resulta común en la extremidad superior y representa un reto terapéutico. Objetivo: Determinar la concordancia entre radiografía simple y tomografía computarizada con respecto a las clasificaciones AO Foundation y de Fernández, y la elección del tratamiento. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio de concordancia diagnóstica entre radiografía simple y tomografía computarizada. Ortopedistas y cirujanos de mano analizaron 19 imágenes de fracturas de radio distal de acuerdo con las clasificaciones AO Foundation y de Fernández, y las distintas opciones de tratamiento. Para el grado de concordancia se usó el coeficiente Kappa de Fleiss. La prueba de t-Student y Chi cuadrado diferenciaron los grupos para variables cuantitativas y cualitativas, respectivamente. Hubo una significancia estadística de p= 0,05. Resultados: La clasificación de Fernández coincidió mejor que la clasificación AO Foundation entre radiografía y tomografía computarizada. En la elección del tratamiento y la técnica de osteosíntesis la concordancia fue mayor al 90 por ciento, mientras que el abordaje quirúrgico solo alcanzó el 50 por ciento. La clasificación AO Foundation radiográfica se correspondió con fracturas complejas, mientras la de Fernández con las menos complicadas. Las fracturas se subestimaron cuando se clasificaron con radiografía. Conclusiones: La relación de las clasificaciones entre radiografía y tomografía computarizada para fracturas de radio distal no resulta satisfactoria. La tomografía computarizada ofrece información que modifica las decisiones en el tratamiento(AU)


Introduction: Distal radius fracture is common in the upper extremity and represents a therapeutic challenge. Objective: To determine the agreement between simple radiography and computed tomography with respect to AO Foundation and Fernández classifications, and the choice of treatment. Methods: A diagnostic agreement study was carried out between simple radiography and computed tomography. Orthopedists and hand surgeons analyzed 19 images of distal radius fractures according to AO Foundation and Fernández classifications, and the different treatment options. Fleiss Kappa coefficient was used for the degree of agreement. The Student's t-test and chi-square differentiated the groups for quantitative and qualitative variables, respectively. There was a statistical significance of p = 0.05. Results: Fernández classification coincided better than AO Foundation between radiography and computed tomography. In the choice of treatment and osteosynthesis technique, agreement was greater than 90 percent, while the surgical approach only reached 50 percent. The radiographic AO Foundation classification corresponded to complex fractures while Fernández classification corresponded to less complicated ones. Fractures were underestimated when classified with radiography. Conclusions: The relationship of classifications between radiography and computed tomography for distal radius fractures is not satisfactory. Computed tomography provides information that modifies treatment decisions(AU)

ABSTRACT

La Asociación Médica Argentina (AMA) reconoce el valor de la Escuela Quirúrgica de los hermanos Finochietto y por tal motivo efectúa un homenaje anual desde el año 2002. En este artículo se hace una breve reseña histórica del Hospital Rawson, donde se inició y desarrolló dicha escuela. Se resaltan dos hechos: por un lado, el término "diáspora finochiettista", porque la dispersión de los cirujanos fue obligada y tuvieron que abandonar su lugar de procedencia original, el Hospital Rawson y, por el otro, que dicho nosocomio nació y murió como consecuencia de movimientos políticos cívico-militares. (AU)


The Argentine Medical Association (AMA) recognizes the value of the Surgical School of the Finochietto brothers, and for this reason has paid an annual tribute since 2002. Tthis article provides a brief historical review of the Rawson Hospital, where the school was initiated and developed. Two facts are highlighted: on the one hand, the term "Finochiettista diaspora" because the dispersal of the surgeons was forced and they had to leave their original place of origin, the Rawson Hospital; and on the other hand, the fact that this hospital was born and died as a consequence of civil-military political movements.

ABSTRACT

With the development of modern surgery, the field of hernia and abdominal wall surgery is undergoing a transformative change, and new techniques, new concepts, and recent progress are being updated, which have motivated the high-quality development of the discipline. In the past two decades, the development of hernia and abdominal wall surgery in China has been recognized by international peers. Many young surgeons have gradually become the main force in the treatment of hernia and leaders in surgical technique. The innovation and development of discipline will never terminate; young surgeons as the main force should seriously think about how to improve their professional qualities. Young surgeons are interested in the innovation of surgical techniques and need to push for a traditional operation on the one hand and an innovative operation on the other. Updates to concepts and acquisition of new materials are more important, which can provide a solid foundation for technological innovation. Young surgeons should start with the basics and classics. Understanding the history and development of new techniques, new concepts and recent progress, and grasping indications of clinical application, is the important part of growing up for young surgeons, which can make surgical treatment more standardized, benefit patients, and promote the progress of Chinese specialized medical education.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the development of the pancreatic surgeon technique in a high-volume center. Methods: A total of 284 cases receiving pancreatic surgery by a single surgeon from June 2015 to December 2020 were retrospectively included in this study. The clinical characteristics and perioperative medical history were extracted from the medical record system of Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University. Among these patients,there were 140 males and 144 females with an age (M (IQR)) of 61.0 (16.8) years(range: 15 to 85 years). The "back-to-back" pancreatic- jejunal anastomosis procedure was used to anastomose the end of the pancreas stump and the jejunal wall. Thirty days after discharge,the patients were followed by outpatient follow-up or telephone interviews. The difference between categorical variables was analyzed by the Chi-square test or the CMH chi-square test. The statistical differences for the quantitative data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance or Kruskal-Wallis H test and further analyzed using the LSD test or the Nemenyi test,respectively. Results: Intraoperative blood loss in pancreaticoduodenectomy between 2015 and 2020 were 300,100(100),100(100),100(0),100(200) and 150 (200) ml,respectively. Intraoperative blood loss in distal pancreatectomy was 250 (375),100 (50),50 (65), 50 (80),50 (50),and 50 (100) ml,respectively. Intraoperative blood loss did not show statistical differences in the same operative procedure between each year. The operative time for pancreaticoduodenectomy was respectively 4.5,5.0(2.0),5.5(0.8),5.0(1.3),5.0(3.3) and 5.0(1.0) hours in each year from 2015 to 2020,no statistical differences were found between each group. The operating time of the distal pancreatectomy was 3.8 (0.9),3.0 (1.5),3.0 (1.8),2.0 (1.1),2.0 (1.5) and 3.0(2.0) hours in each year,the operating time was obviously shorter in 2018 compared to 2015 (P=0.026) and 2020 (P=0.041). The median hospital stay in 2020 for distal pancreatectomy was 3 days shorter than that in 2019. The overall incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula gradually decreased,with a incident rate of 50.0%,36.8%,31.0%,25.9%,21.1% and 14.8% in each year. During this period,in a total of 3,6,4,2,0 and 20 cases received laparoscopic operations in each year. The incidence of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (grade B and C) gradually decreased,the incident rates were 0,4.8%,7.1%,3.4%,4.3% and 1.4%,respectively. Two cases had postoperative abdominal bleeding and received unscheduled reoperation. The overall rate of unscheduled reoperation was 0.7%. A patient died within 30 days after the operation and the overall perioperative mortality was 0.4%. Conclusion: The surgical training of a high-volume center can ensure a high starting point in the initial stage and steady progress of pancreatic surgeons,to ensure the safety of pancreatic surgery.

ABSTRACT

Acute colonic diverticulitis is one of the most common clinical conditions encountered by surgeons in the acute setting. Acute left colonic diverticulitis in the elderly presents with unique epidemiological features when compared with younger patients. Elderly patients have a lower risk of recurrent episodes, higher in-hospital and postoperative mortality. An international multidisciplinary panel of experts from the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) formulated the guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of acute left colonic diverticulitis in the elderly (2022 edition). This article aims to interpret the guidelines statements on the following topics: diagnosis, management, non-surgical therapy and surgical technique.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND@#Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can reduce severe joint pain and improve functional disability in hemophilia. However, the long-term outcomes have rarely been reported in China. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes and complications of TKA in Chinese patients with hemophilic arthropathy.@*METHODS@#We retrospectively reviewed patients with hemophilia who underwent TKA between 2003 and 2020, with at least 10 years of follow-up. The clinical results, patellar scores, patients' overall satisfaction ratings, and radiological findings were evaluated. Revision surgery for implants during the follow-up period was recorded.@*RESULTS@#Twenty-six patients with 36 TKAs were successfully followed up for an average of 12.4 years. Their Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score improved from an average of 45.8 to 85.9. The average flexion contracture statistically significantly decreased from 18.1° to 4.2°. The range of motion (ROM) improved from 60.6° to 84.8°. All the patients accepted patelloplasty, and the patients' patellar score improved from 7.8 preoperatively to 24.9 at the last follow-up. There was no statistically significant difference in clinical outcomes between the unilateral and bilateral procedures, except for a better ROM at follow-up in the unilateral group. Mild and enduring anterior knee pain was reported in seven knees (19%). The annual bleeding event was 2.7 times/year at the last follow-up. A total of 25 patients with 35 TKAs were satisfied with the procedure (97%). Revision surgery was performed in seven knees, with 10- and 15-year prosthesis survival rates of 85.8% and 75.7%, respectively.@*CONCLUSIONS@#TKA is an effective procedure for patients with end-stage hemophilic arthropathy, which relieves pain, improves knee functions, decreases flexion contracture, and provides a high rate of satisfaction after more than ten years of follow-up.

ABSTRACT

To design a treatment plan for patients with epididymal obstruction, we explored the potential impact of factors such as body mass index (BMI) and age on the surgical outcomes of vasoepididymostomy (VE). In this retrospective study, 181 patients diagnosed with obstructive azoospermia (OA) due to epididymal obstruction between September 2014 and September 2017 were reviewed. All patients underwent single-armed microsurgical intussusception VEs with longitudinal two-suture placement performed by a single surgeon (KH) in a single hospital (Peking University Third Hospital, Beijing, China). Six factors that could possibly influence the patency rates were analyzed, including BMI, age, mode of anastomosis, site of anastomosis, and sperm motility and quantity in the intraoperative epididymal fluid. Single-factor outcome analysis was performed via Chi-square test and multivariable analysis was performed using logistic regression. A total of 159 (87.8%, 159/181) patients were followed up. The follow-up time (mean ± standard deviation [s.d.]) was 27.7 ± 9.3 months, ranging from 12 months to 48 months. The overall patency rate was 73.0% (116/159). The multivariable analysis revealed that BMI and age significantly influenced the patency rate (P = 0.008 and 0.028, respectively). Younger age (≤28 years; odds ratio [OR] = 3.531, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.397-8.924) and lower BMI score (<26.0 kg m-2; OR = 2.352, 95% CI: 1.095-5.054) appeared to be associated with a higher patency rate.

ABSTRACT

Radical gastrectomy combined with perioperative comprehensive treatment is the main curable strategy for gastric cancer patients, and postoperative complications are the issue that gastric surgeons have to face. Complications not only affect the short-term postoperative recovery, but also facilitate tumor recurrence or metastasis, thus resulting in poor prognosis. Therefore, unifying the diagnostic criteria for postoperative complications, bringing the surgeons' attention to complications, and understanding the potential mechanism of complications undermining long-term survival, will be helpful to the future improvement of the clinical diagnosis and treatment as well as prognosis for gastric cancer patients in China. Meanwhile, surgeons should constantly hone their operative skills, improve their sense of responsibility and empathy, and administer individualized perioperative management based on patients' general conditions, so as to minimize the occurrence of postoperative complications and their influence on prognosis.

ABSTRACT

El cáncer de piel es el más frecuente de todos los tipos de cáncer del ser humano, por lo cual el conocimiento y diagnóstico correcto de la patología oncocutánea, así como la formación impartida a los especialistas de nuestra área, es de vital importancia a la hora de jerarquizar el diagnóstico temprano y lograr un adecuado tratamiento de forma oportuna. El correcto abordaje terapéutico del cáncer cutáneo y sus variantes es de primordial importancia en el manejo quirúrgico de los cirujanos plásticos, por lo cual la Comisión de Oncología Quirúrgica de tumores de piel de la Sociedad Argentina de Cirugía Plástica Estética y Reparadora (SACPER) decide realizar y difundir la siguiente encuesta anónima a los miembros de la SACPER. En esta encuesta evaluativa, se obtuvieron datos sobre el estado actual de formación de los cirujanos de nuestro país, la ejecución de las prácticas relacionadas con el abordaje, la resección o la reconstrucción posterior relacionados a dicha patología.


The knowledge and correct diagnosis of the oncocutaneous pathology, as well as the training provided to the specialists in our area, is of vital importance when prioritizing early diagnosis and achieving adequate treatment. The correct therapeutic approach to skin cancer and its variants is of paramount importance in the surgical management of plastic surgeons, for which we decided to carry out an anonymous survey of the members of the Argentine Society of Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery (SACPER). In this questionnaire, we obtained valuable information about the current state of training of surgeons in our country, the execution of practices related to the approach, resection, or subsequent reconstruction related to said pathology.
