Pediatric lower extremity vascular injuries (LEVI) are rare but can result in significant morbidity. We aimed to describe our experience with these injuries, including associated injury patterns, diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, outcomes.
Traumatic vascular injuries of the lower extremity in pediatric population are rare but can result significant morbidity. We aimed at describing our experience with such complex injuries, associated patterns injury, diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, outcomes.From January 2006 to December 2011, 2,844 trauma patients presented Ryder Trauma Center, an urban Level I center Miami, Florida. Among them, 18 (0.6%) were evaluated for traumatic injuries. Variables collected included age, sex,...
Blunt traumatic abdominal wall hernias (TAWH) occur in approximately 15,000 patients per year. Limited data are available to guide the timing of surgical intervention or feasibility nonoperative management.A retrospective study presenting with blunt TAWH from January 2012 through December 2018 was conducted. Patient demographic, surgical, and outcomes were collected 20 institutions Western Trauma Association Multicenter Trials Committee.Two hundred eighty-one identified. One seventy-six...
BACKGROUND Leak following surgical repair of traumatic duodenal injuries results in prolonged hospitalization and oftentimes nil per os treatment. Parenteral nutrition (PN) has known morbidity; however, leak patients often have complex hospital courses resulting barriers to enteral (EN). We hypothesized that EN alone would be associated with (1) shorter duration until closure (2) less infectious complications length stay compared PN. METHODS This was a post hoc analysis retrospective,...
Introduction The utility of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for high-grade traumatic injuries remains unclear and data surrounding its use are limited. We hypothesized that PD does not result in improved outcomes when compared with non-PD surgical management grade IV–V pancreaticoduodenal injuries. Methods This is a retrospective, multicenter analysis from 35 level 1 trauma centers January 2010 to December 2020. Included patients were ≥15 years age the American Association Surgery Trauma...
Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a preventable cause of morbidity and mortality. Emergency general surgery (EGS) patients comprise 7% hospital admissions in America with reported rate VTE 2.5%. Of these, >69% required readmission, making the second most common for readmission after infection EGS patients. We hypothesize correlation between body mass index (BMI) Methods The American College Surgeons National Surgery Quality Improvement Database (NSQIP) was queried from January...
BACKGROUND Duodenal leak is a feared complication of repair, and innovative complex repairs with adjunctive measures (CRAM) were developed to decrease both occurrence severity when leaks occur. Data on the association CRAM duodenal are sparse, its impact outcomes nonexistent. We hypothesized that primary repair alone (PRA) would be associated decreased rates; however, improved recovery do METHODS A retrospective, multicenter analysis from 35 Level 1 trauma centers included patients older...
Compartment syndrome (CS) is a well-known surgical emergency with high morbidity including potential long-term disability and limb loss. The most important factor determining the degree of CS time to treatment; therefore, early diagnosis surgery are vital. We present patient who fell off his bicycle sustained cervical spine fractures causing near complete quadriplegia. He was found by road over 12 hours later, so creatine phosphokinase (CPK) trended serial examinations were performed....
The operative experience of present-day surgical residency training has evolved as a result the contributions laparoscopic surgery. Some traditional open procedures are now more descriptive and less familiarity to many general surgery residents (GSRs). aim this study was investigate how compares with laparoscopy for GSRs. A retrospective, multicenter, consecutive cohort all patients undergoing intervention involving appendix gallbladder identified from ACS-NSQIP database over 2.5-year...
