In the operating room of a teaching hospital, there is need to balance surgical efficiencies, patient safety issues, and time management with preparing residents for mature practice. Gaps exist between attendings' perspectives residents' on quality teaching, wherein may perceive an unfocused stream talk rather than direct, structured approach. Based guided discovery learning model review existing approaches BID model-Briefing, Intraoperative, Debriefing-was applied in room. The briefing...
Objectives:To analyze lymphatic drainage patterns and recurrence in patients undergoing sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) for cutaneous head neck melanoma.Design: Retrospective review of a consecutive series with mean follow-up 35 months.Setting: Tertiary cancer care center.Patients: Fifty-one clinically nodenegative melanoma the region staged by means SLNB.Interventions: Sentinel nodes (SLNs) were identified using preoperative mapping along intraoperative gamma probe evaluation isosulfan...
Groin injuries in high-performance athletes are common, occurring 5% to 28% of athletes. Athletic pubalgia syndrome, or so-called sports hernia, is one such injury that can be debilitating and sport ending some It a clinical diagnosis chronic, painful musculotendinous the medial inguinal floor with athletic activity. Over past 12 years, we have operated on >100 patients this at Baylor University Medical Center Dallas. These included professional athletes, collegiate competitive recreational...
We will review the contribution to Medicare Fee Schedule (MFS) by techniques of intensity work per unit time (IWPUT), building block methodology (BBM), and accomplished American College Surgeons General Surgery Coding & Reimbursement Committee (GSCRC) in using IWPUT/BBM detect undervalued surgical procedures recommend payment increases.The MFS has had a major impact on surgeons' income since its introduction 1992 Centers for Medicaid (CMS) additionally been adopted use many commercial...
We present a case of parathyroid adenoma on the ipsilateral side thyroid hemiagenesis-which, to our knowledge, is third reported this entity. A 41-year-old man with nephrolithiasis was found have elevated calcium and intact hormone levels. Both ultrasound technetium sestamibi scintigraphy single photon emission computed tomography confirmed left hemiagenesis an in inferior bed. The patient underwent neck exploration, which adenoma. gland resected. discharged home same day surgery has...
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) and small bowel (SBNETs) are rare that frequently diagnosed late in the course of disease. Several biomarkers have been proposed literature as prognostic factors for patients with these tumors. This article discusses a recent publication Annals Surgical Oncology from University Iowa analyzing effect different on survival PNETs SBNETs.
A lthough esophageal carcinoma is not the most common tumor-it accounts for only 5% of all gastrointestinal tumors and 1% new tumors-it has nearly a 1:1 mortality ratio: each year there are 14,000 cases 13,000 related deaths in USA.Men have 3 to 5 times more often than women, black men likely white disease.The mean age at diagnosis 60 years. BACKGROUNDAdenocarcinoma, typically distal third esophagus, squamous cell carcinoma, proximal two thirds make up 49% cancer.The remaining cancers this...
Unintentional parathyroidectomy during thyroid surgery has an incidence ranging between 1% and 31% across institutions. Many studies have identified malignancy central neck dissection as risk factors for losing parathyroid glands, but few evaluated the impact of other such lymphocytic thyroiditis, hyperthyroidism, or concomitant primary hyperparathyroidism. The purpose this study was to investigate which contribute loss surgery. Charts 269 patients undergoing at a tertiary care medical...
Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy for cutaneous melanoma is a critical part of designing therapy the skin malignancy. A retrospective review 54 patients with who underwent SLN guided by both radiotracer injection and indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent dye compared accuracy identifying using each method. Patients were injected preoperatively at site primary intraoperatively 2.5 mg ICG. The detection was between two methods. followed to determine local recurrence survival from 5 months 4...

Abstract Background and Objectives: Patients with regional lymph node (LN) involvement from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the vulva have a 48% 5-year relative survival. Recently, sentinel LN (SLN) biopsy has become viable alternative to inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy. We sought identify risk factors for predicting positive SLN in patients vulvar SCC. Methods: A retrospective review 29 SCC was performed 2016-2021 at tertiary care center. Clinicopathologic data collected addition status...
