Surgically managed appendicitis exhibits great heterogeneity in techniques for mesoappendix transection and appendix amputation from its base. It is unclear whether a particular surgical technique provides outcome benefit or reduces complications.We undertook pre-specified subgroup analysis of all patients who underwent laparoscopic appendectomy at index admission during SnapAppy (ClinicalTrials.gov Registration: NCT04365491).

This study sought to evaluate impact, if any, intern's practice.The utilized survey approach followed by focus group discussions. The aim was identify that were taught and assessed actually required their intern year.Most interns had received designated laboratories. No all advised European guidelines. Skills...
Abstract Introduction The COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic drove acute care surgeons to pivot from long established practice patterns. Early safety concerns regarding increased postoperative complication risk in those with active COVID infection promoted antibiotic-driven non-operative therapy for select conditions ahead of an evidence-base. Our study assesses whether or recent SARS-CoV-2 positivity increases hospital length stay (LOS) complications following appendectomy. Methods Data were...
