Objective: To study and profile the digital assessment behaviors of surgical faculty residents, to build a classifier predict completion, enhancing formative feedback initiatives. Background: As competency-based paradigms are integrated into training, developing education tools for measuring competency providing rapid is crucial. Simply making assessments available inadequate results in disappointingly low user participation. optimize engagement efficacy these tools, need be studied....
Colonic lipomas are rare, benign neoplasms, typically asymptomatic, and predominantly found incidentally during autopsy or routine surveillance. Symptomatic lesions usually those greater than 2 cm in diameter while "giant" characterized as over 4 cm. Presentations can vary from asymptomatic to more severe sequelae, including obstruction, gastrointestinal bleeding, intussusception. Resection of these has historically been restricted large symptomatic lesions. However, recent reports suggest...
Introduction Laparoscopic (LAP) colectomy is now the "gold" standard for diverticulitis; role of hand-assisted LAP (HAL) and Open methods today unclear. This study assessed elective use these diverticulitis. Methods A retrospective review demographic, comorbidity (Carlson Comorbidity Index [CCI]), resection type, short-term outcomes was carried out. Results There were 125 (44.5%) LAP, HAL, 31 (11%) cases (overall N = 281). The mean age, body mass index, percentage high-risk patients (CCI...
Although proximal faecal diversion is standard of care to protect patients with high-risk colorectal anastomoses against septic complications anastomotic leakage, it associated significant morbidity. The Colovac device (CD) an intraluminal bypass intended avoid stoma creation in undergoing low anterior resection. A preliminary study (SAFE-1) completed three European centres demonstrated 100% protection 15 patients, as evidenced by the absence faeces below CD. This phase III trial (SAFE-2)...
Apocrine adenocarcinoma is a rare primary cutaneous malignancy that arises from areas with high apocrine gland density, most frequently described in the axilla. There have only been three previously reported cases of anal/perianal region. A 72-year-old female presented for evaluation perianal lesion persistent drainage she had noticed over year. The patient proceeded surgical excision nodule. Diagnosis was made based on pathology demonstrating mixed solid and trabecular large nuclei many...
Anorectal syphilis is relatively uncommon and diagnostically challenging given the wide differential diagnosis for anal lesions. Risk factors, such as men who have sex with or HIV-positive status, are especially important to elicit from patients during clinical history. In this report, we present a rare case of painful diagnosed in an HIV-negative woman by tissue biopsy.
INTRODUCTION: Therapeutic echoendoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is vital in the diagnosis, staging, and tissue acquisition of gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies. However, its use typically limited to upper GI tract rectum due visualization instrument length. We present a case evaluating an extraluminal lesion adjacent distal small bowel, utilizing linear echoendoscope. CASE DESCRIPTION/METHODS: 65 year old male with history cecal perforation setting ischemic colitis (no pathologic evidence...
INTRODUCTION: Sigmoid volvulus (SV) occurs when the colon twists about its mesentery which can compromise vascular perfusion leading to ischemia. Mortality rate (MR) is up 60%, requiring emergent endoscopic (ES) detorsion via flexible sigmoidoscopy (FS) with placement of a rectal tube. Recurrence high, ultimately surgical management. The mean age presentation 70 high likelihood multiple comorbidities, resulting in risk. We present case ES therapy recurrent SV. CASE DESCRIPTION/METHODS:...
INTRODUCTION: Dieulafoy lesion (DL) is an aberrant submucosal artery which protrudes from a small mucosal defect presenting with massive painless gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) in the form of melena, hematemesis or hematochezia (Hcz), depending on its location. DLs are most commonly found proximal stomach within 6 cm gastro-esophageal junction along lesser curvature, however, can occur anywhere GI tract to degree. intestine rare, mostly seen jejunum, terminal ileum occurring even rarer....
Introduction: Patients infected with SARS-Cov-2, the causative virus behind coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic, have been increasing rapidly in New York City. City has highest incidence United States and fully 45% of all deaths from COVID-19. Our medical center is located within a high-density region cases south Brooklyn and, fact, three our neighborhood zip codes are top seven incidence. As result, experienced dramatic increase hospitalizations, particularly respiratory distress...
