The novel COVID-19 pandemic will alter the educational experience for surgical residents across country. It has already led to significant changes within most hospitals, including limiting number of who are in-house, cancellation elective procedures, decreased volume acute care surgery following society guidelines, and lectures conferences adhere social distancing recommendations. In response these necessary changes, American Board Surgery modified training requirements graduating chief...
Objective: The aim of this study was to establish clinically relevant outcome benchmark values using criteria for pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) with portomesenteric venous resection (PVR) from a low-risk cohort managed in high-volume centers. Summary Background Data: PD PVR is regarded as the standard care patients cancer involvement axis. There are, however, no indicators population which hampers comparisons undergoing and without resection. Methods: This multicenter analyzed any type 23...
Prehabilitation involves health-optimizing interventions aimed at enhancing patients' ability to tolerate an upcoming stressor. Surgical prehabilitation is typically multimodal and has been shown enhance health treatment outcomes.1 In the setting of novel COVID-19 pandemic, may counteract unintended sequelae "social distancing" that result in decreased cardiopulmonary fitness arising from increased sedentary behavior, theoretically leading morbidity mortality, particularly patients with...
This study was designed to determine whether the volume and type of fluid administered for pancreaticoduodenectomy impacts postoperative outcomes.Three percent hypertonic saline (HYS) has been suggested as a means reducing required sustain tissue perfusion in perioperative period.Between May 2011 November 2013, patients undergoing were enrolled an institutional review board-approved, single-center, prospective, parallel, randomized controlled trial (NCT 01428050), comparing lactated Ringers...
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) critically influenced microscopically complete resection (R0) rates and long-term outcomes for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) portomesenteric vein (PVR) from a diverse, world-wide group high-volume centers. Summary Background Data: Limited size studies suggest that NAT improves R0 overall survival compared upfront surgery in R/BR-PDAC patients. Methods:...
Abstract Background Multimodal treatment is the standard of care for rectal adenocarcinoma, with a subset patients achieving pathologic complete response (pCR). While pCR associated improved overall survival (OS), long‐term data on limited. Methods This single institution retrospective cohort study all clinical stages II/III adenocarcinoma who underwent neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy and operative resection (January 1, 2004–December 31, 2017). PCR was defined as no tumor identified in...
Objectives Single-institution studies have shown improved outcomes among patients with a pathologic complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant therapy. We sought to evaluate the impact of pCR and near-complete (nCR) on overall survival (OS) using large national database. Methods The National Cancer Database was queried for given diagnosis pancreatic cancer from 2004 2014. A defined as no tumor identified in pancreas after surgical resection. An nCR primary less than 1 cm without lymph...
The COVID-19 pandemic will have lasting implications that span the breadth of healthcare in years to come. As a byproduct multiple factors, including supply chain preservation, potential for asymptomatic spread, and desire minimize risk individuals not required care provision, medical students largely been sidelined during this crisis. Although educators continue develop virtual solutions adapt school curriculum, 1 concern arises is how affect process student career planning, especially...
Previous data reveal that females account for a disproportionate majority of all patients diagnosed with diverticulitis.This study analyzed the variation in mortality from diverticular disease by sex.This was nationwide retrospective cohort study.Data were obtained Centers Disease Control and Prevention Wide-Ranging Online Data Epidemiologic Research national registry.All citizens United States who died an underlying cause death diverticulitis between January 1999 December 2016 included.The...
