The aim of the study was to evaluate biosynthetic absorbable mesh in single-staged contaminated (Centers for Disease Control class II and III) ventral hernia (CVH) repair over 24 months.CVH has an increased risk postoperative infection. CVH with synthetic or biologic meshes reported chronic biomaterial infections high recurrence rates.Patients a clean-contaminated operative field defect at least 9 cm had (open, sublay, retrorectus, intraperitoneal) fascial closure (n = 104). Endpoints...
Biologic mesh is widely used for reinforcing contaminated ventral hernia repairs; however, it expensive and has been associated with high rates of long-term recurrence. Synthetic a lower-cost alternative but its efficacy not rigorously studied in individuals hernias.To determine whether synthetic results superior reduction risk recurrence compared biologic during the single-stage repair clean-contaminated hernias.This multicenter, single-blinded randomized clinical trial was conducted from...
The aim of this study was to compare length stay (LOS) after robotic-assisted and open retromuscular ventral hernia repair (RVHR).RVHR has traditionally been performed by techniques. Robotic-assisted surgery enables surgeons perform minimally invasive RVHR, but with unknown benefit. Using real-world evidence, compared LOS (o-RVHR) (r-RVHR) approach.Multi-institutional data from patients undergoing elective RVHR in the Americas Hernia Society Quality Collaborative between 2013 2016 were...
Objective The objective was to determine whether surgical enucleation of mucinous cystadenoma the pancreas is a safe and adequate operation. Summary Background Data Mucinous cystadenomas are premalignant cystic lesions. Resection preferred treatment but often requires pancreatoduodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy with without splenectomy. Although these procedures can now be performed low mortality rate, substantial morbidity still occurs, especially in patients who have an otherwise normal...
Selection of patients for preventive measures to protect against pressure ulcers relies on clinical scales and provider judgment, which vary widely. Our objectives were to: (a) identify risk factors by classification report demographic differences in ulcer (b) develop criteria identification high-risk patients. Patients with as a discharge diagnosis identified from the 2003 Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS). The effect was examined using Agency Healthcare Research Quality Clinical...
In Brief Objective: This study evaluates the effect of resident physician work hour limits on surgical patient safety. Background: Resident have been enforced in New York State since 1998 and nationwide from 2003. A primary assumption these is that changes will improve We examined effects this policy standardized Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs). Methods: An interrupted time series analysis was performed using 1995 to 2001 Nationwide Inpatient Sample data. The intervention studied limit...
Maintaining perioperative normothermia has been shown to decrease the rate of surgical site infection (SSI) after segmental colectomy and is part World Health Organization's Guidelines for Safe Surgery. However, strong evidence supporting this association lacking, an exact definition not described.To determine whether intraoperative hypothermia in patients who undergo associated with postoperative SSI.In a retrospective cohort study at single tertiary-referral hospital, 296 adult underwent...
<h3>Importance</h3> Surgeons are increasingly interested in using mobile and online applications with wound photography to monitor patients after surgery. Early work remote care diagnose surgical site infections (SSIs) demonstrated improved diagnostic accuracy photographs augment patients’ electronic reports of symptoms, but it is unclear whether these findings reproducible real-world practice. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine how affects surgeons’ abilities SSIs a pragmatic setting....
