Pediatric lower extremity vascular injuries (LEVI) are rare but can result in significant morbidity. We aimed to describe our experience with these injuries, including associated injury patterns, diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, outcomes.
Biologic mesh is often used in complex hernia repair, but there has been limited clinical evidence to date support this practice. The aim of study was compare and patient-reported outcomes biologic versus synthetic for open ventral repair (OVHR) at 3 years. Patients from a single center, randomized, controlled, pilot trial comparing OVHR were followed primary outcome focused on major complications, namely infections, recurrences, reoperations, deaths. Secondary included surgical site...
Background: The percentage of female surgeons and surgery residents has increased slowly to 24% 35%, respectively. However, women remain under-represented in surgical leadership positions (<20%). Society awards are used for hiring promoting surgeons. We hypothesized that within the Surgical Infection (SIS), females under-represented. Methods: SIS website databases were consulted number members, awardees, leaders. Representation was divided into four time periods: 2000-2005, 2006-2010,...
Background: Many surgeons utilize biologic mesh for elective complex ventral hernia repair (VHR; large hernias, contaminated fields, or patients with comorbid conditions). However, no randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have compared and synthetic mesh. We hypothesize would result in fewer major complications at one-year post-operative Patients Methods: performed a single-center, pilot RCT. All eligible undergoing complex, open VHR were randomly assigned to receive placed the retromuscular...
Objective: Report the two-year outcomes of a multi-center randomized controlled trial comparing robotic versus laparoscopic intraperitoneal onlay mesh ventral hernia repair. Summary Background Data: Ventral repair is one most common operations performed by general surgeons. To our knowledge, no studies have been published to date long-term Methods: The was registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03490266). Clinical included surgical site infection, occurrence, readmission, reoperation, and...
Objective: To determine if preoperative nutritional counseling and exercise (prehabilitation) improve outcomes in obese patients seeking ventral hernia repair (VHR)? Summary Background Data: Obesity poor fitness are associated with complications following VHR. It is unknown prehabilitation improves of Methods: This the 2-year follow-up a blinded randomized controlled trial from 2015 to 2017 at safety-net academic institution. Obese (BMI 30–40) VHR were versus standard counseling. Elective...
Previous studies have debated the optimal time to perform excision and grafting of second- third-degree burns. The current consensus is that should be performed before sixth hospital day. We hypothesize patients who undergo within 48 hours better outcomes.The American College Surgeons Trauma Quality Programs data set was used identify all with at least 10% total body surface area burns from years 2017 2019. Patients other serious injuries (any Abbreviated Injury Scale, >3), severe...
