Blunt cerebrovascular injury (BCVI) has been well described in the adult trauma literature. The risk factors, proper screening, and treatment options are known. In pediatric trauma, there very little research performed regarding this injury. We hypothesize that incidence of BCVI children is lower than 1% reported studies many at not being screened properly.This a multi-institutional retrospective cohort study patients (<15 years) admitted with blunt to six American College Surgeons-verified...

We investigated the variation use of AF and explored association between their subsequent development organ space infection (OSI).This was a secondary analysis multicenter, case-control study treated for PPU at nine institutions 2011 2018. Microbiology utilization AF, defined as administered within 24 hours from index surgery, were recorded. Patients who received compared those did...

Abstract Traditional teaching suggests that prior pelvic operations, including prostatectomy, is a contraindication to laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. Despite the growing use of robotic platforms in repair, there are few studies describing robotic-assisted repairs (RIHR) this patient population. This study aims demonstrate RIHR safe and effective repairing hernias patients who had previously undergone prostatectomy. We retrospectively reviewed cases performed from March 2017 October...
