The landscape of surgical training is rapidly evolving with the advent artificial intelligence (AI) and its integration into education simulation. This manuscript aims to explore potential applications benefits AI-assisted training, particularly use large language models (LLMs), in enhancing communication, personalizing feedback, promoting skill development. We discuss advancements simulation-based AI-driven assessment tools, video-based systems, virtual reality (VR) augmented (AR)...
Persistent hyperlactatemia during septic shock is multifactorial. Hypoperfusion-related anaerobic production and adrenergic-driven aerobic generation together with impaired lactate clearance have been implicated. An excessive adrenergic response could contribute to persistent modulation might be beneficial. We assessed the effects of dexmedetomidine esmolol on hemodynamics, generation, exogenous endotoxin-induced shock.Eighteen anesthetized mechanically ventilated sheep were subjected a...
Recent coronavirus outbreak and "stay at home" policies have accelerated the implementation of virtual healthcare. Many surgery departments are implementing telemedicine to enhance remote perioperative care. However, concern still arises regarding safety this modality in postoperative follow-up after gastrointestinal surgery. The aim present prospective study is compare use clinics in-person for care during COVID-19 outbreak.Prospective that included all abdominal patients operated since...
Introducción. El trasplante hepático con donante vivo (THDV) es una técnica quirúrgica desarrollada para enfrentar la baja tasa de donación. La selección del crucial minimizar los riesgos y maximizar resultados receptor. volumetría hepática derecha mediante tomografía computada (VTCHD) uno pasos más importantes al planificar hepatectomía (HDDV). Métodos. Estudio retrospectivo todos pacientes sometidos a HDDV en HCUC, entre enero 2016-diciembre 2021. Se compararon VTCHD corregida (VTCHDc)...
Living donor selection is crucial to minimize postoperative complications and improve recipient outcomes. This study describes the process evaluates reasons for discarding potential donors in our living liver transplantation (LDLT) program. Retrospective descriptive analysis from all evaluated LDLT program between April 2018 July 2021. Selection criteria included age 18-60 years old, no significant medical or mental comorbidities, ABO anatomical suitability. A total of 231 were evaluated....
Objetivos: Describir nuestra experiencia en el manejo laparoscópico de la obstrucción intestinal con resultados a largo plazo. Material y Método: Análisis retrospectivo pacientes sometidos cirugía laparoscópica por bridas entre 2005 2020. Se analizaron variables demográficas, perioperatorias seguimiento Resultados: incluyeron 94 pacientes. Mediana edad 49 años (16-104); 71,3% (n=67) tenían antecedente intra-abdominal previa 19,1% (n=18) contaban historia episodios previos intestinal. El...
Purpose of review Using transplant oncology principles, selected patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) may achieve long-term survival after liver transplantation. Strategies for identifying and managing these are discussed in this review. Recent findings Unlike initial reports, several modern series have reported positive outcomes transplantation iCCA. The main challenges the appropriate candidates graft scarcity. Tumor burden response to neoadjuvant therapies been...
Central venous catheterization (CVC) is a basic requirement for many medical specialties. Simulated training in CVC may allow the acquisition of this competency but few reports have established valid methodology learning and acquiring procedural skills CVC. This study aims to validate use tracking motion device, imperial college surgical assessment device (ICSAD), by comparing it with validated global rating scales (GRS) measure performance simulated torso. Senior year students, first last...
Traditionally, technical proficiency for spinal anesthesia has been assessed using observational scales such as global rating or task specific checklists. However more objective metrics are required in order to improve novice's training programs. The aim of this study is validate the hand motion analysis Imperial College Surgical Assessment Device (ICSAD) a simulated model anesthesia. Three groups physicians with different levels experience were video recorded performing lumbar puncture...
Laparoscopic gastrectomy has numerous perioperative advantages, but the long-term survival of patients after this procedure been less studied.To compare survival, oncologic and outcomes between completely laparoscopic vs. open for early gastric cancer.This study was retrospective, our main were overall disease-specific 5-year lymph node count R0 resection rate. Our secondary outcome postoperative morbidity.Were included 116 (59% men, age 68 years, comorbidities 73%, BMI 25) who underwent 50...
