Limited data exist comparing robotic and open approaches to pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). We performed a multicenter comparison of perioperative outcomes PD (RPD) (OPD).Perioperative for patients who underwent postlearning curve at 8 centers (8/2011-1/2015) were assessed. Univariate analyses clinicopathologic treatment factors performed, multivariable models constructed determine associations operative approach (RPD or OPD) with outcomes.Of the 1028 patients, 211 (20.5%) RPD (4.7%...

BACKGROUND: Thirty-day readmissions, emergency department visits, and observation stays are common after colorectal surgery (9%–25%, 8%–12%, 3%–5%), yet it is unknown to what extent planned postdischarge care can decrease the frequency of visits. OBJECTIVE: This study’s aim was determine whether early follow-up with surgical team reduces 30-day DESIGN: retrospective cohort study used a central data repository clinical administrative for 2013 through 2018.

AbstractMost current predictive models for risk of readmission were primarily designed from non-surgical patients and often utilize administrative data alone. Models built upon comprehensive sources specific to colorectal surgery may be key implementing interventions aimed at reducing readmissions. This study develop a model 30-day including administrative, clinical, laboratory, socioeconomic status (SES) data. Patients admitted the service who underwent discharged an academic tertiary...

Fatigue after thyroidectomy is common, but there a paucity of data regarding its prevalence and duration. We hypothesized that total (TT) patients would have more long-term fatigue than thyroid lobectomy (TL) patients.Statewide survey (2004-2017) was carried out.281 completed the survey. 216 respondents (77%) had TT 65 (23%) TL. Within one year surgery, 172 (61%) recalled being troubled by new all, most, or some time. Total were likely to report (69% vs. 44%, aOR 2.72, 95% CI 1.44 5.18). Of...
