Robotic-assisted cholecystectomy is rapidly being adopted into practice, partly based on the belief that it offers specific technical and safety advantages over traditional laparoscopic surgery. Whether robotic-assisted safer than remains unclear.
This cohort study evaluates the learning curve for robotic-assisted cholecystectomy among US surgeons from 2010 through 2019.
Penetrating neck trauma is uncommon in children; consequently, data describing epidemiology, injury pattern, and management are sparse. The aim of this study was to use the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) describe pediatric penetrating (PPNT).The NTDB queried for children (defined as <15 years old) with PPNT between 2008 2012. Descriptive analysis used age groups (0-5, 6-10, 11-14 years) type categorized aerodigestive, vascular, cervical spine, nerve.A total 1,238 patients were identified...
This economic evaluation examines variations in prices for surgical procedures under the Hospital Price Transparency Rule at hospitals within and outside hospital networks US.
Importance Health care mergers and acquisitions have increased vertical integration of skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) in health networks. While may result improved coordination quality, it also lead to excess utilization, as SNFs are paid a per diem rate. Objective To determine the association within hospital networks with SNF readmissions, spending for Medicare beneficiaries undergoing elective hip replacement. Design, Setting, Participants This cross-sectional study evaluated 100%...
Importance Minimum volume standards have been advocated as a strategy to improve outcomes for certain surgical procedures. Hospital networks could avoid low-volume surgery by consolidating cases within network hospitals that meet standards, thus optimizing while retaining and revenue. The rates of compliance with among hospital the association at these remain unknown. Objective To quantify associated networks. Design, Setting, Participants This cross-sectional study used Medicare Provider...
The results of this study suggest that telehealth preoperative evaluations are a safe and feasible alternative to an in-person evaluation.• Further research is necessary determine if there specific patient populations for which appropriate.• Care must be taken so technology does not worsen existing disparities or create new ones.
To identify characteristics associated with high- and low-quality multi-hospital systems for major cancer surgery.
