Empty pelvis syndrome (EPS) is a significant source of morbidity following pelvic exenteration (PE), but undefined. EPS outcome reporting and descriptors radicality PE are inconsistent; therefore, the best approaches for prevention unknown. To facilitate future research into EPS, aim this study to define measurable core set, descriptor set written definition EPS. Consensus on strategies mitigate was also explored.
MiRNAs are key regulators of tumorigenesis that aberrantly expressed in the circulation and tissue patients with cancer. The aim this study was to determine whether miRNA dysregulation reflected similar changes tumour tissue. Athymic nude mice (n = 20) received either a mammary fat pad 8, MFP), or subcutaneous 7, SC) injection MDA-MB-231 cells. Controls no cells 5). Tumour volume monitored weekly blood sampling performed at weeks 1, 3 6 following induction (total n 60). Animals were...
To determine whether surgeon case volume and Unit affected specific recognized key performance indicators (KPIs) of breast cancer surgical management.An increasing body evidence suggests that a higher standard care, demonstrated by improved outcomes, is provided in high-volume units or surgeons. The volume-outcome relationship pertaining to screen-detected cancers has yet be thoroughly established remains pertinent issue view the debate surrounding screening.The study population comprised...
Abstract Background Despite advances in the rates of total mesorectal excision (TME) for rectal cancer surgery, decreased local recurrence and increased 5-year survival, there still exists large variation quality treatment received. Up to 30 per cent cancers are locally advanced at presentation approximately 5–10 breach plane invade adjacent structures despite neoadjuvant therapy. With evolution extended resections beyond TME plane, proponents advocate that these should be performed only...
Abstract Aim To explore the feasibility and safety of robotic beyond total mesorectal excision (TME) surgery for primary recurrent pelvic malignancy. Methods Patients undergoing TME resections or malignancy between July 2015 2021 in a public quaternary private tertiary centre were included. Demographic clinical data recorded outcomes analysed. Results Twenty‐four patients (50% males) included, with median age 58 (45–70.8) years, BMI 26 (24.3–28.1) kg/m 2 . Indication was rectal...
Adult intussusception is a rare but challenging condition. Preoperative diagnosis frequently missed or delayed because of nonspecific sub-acute symptoms.We present the case sixty-two year old gentleman who initially presented with pseudo-obstruction. Computerised tomography displayed jejuno-jejunal intussusception, which was treated by primary laparoscopic reduction. The patient re-presented acute small bowel obstruction two weeks later. He underwent laparotomy showing recurrent and required...
Abstract Background Despite reports of increasing adoption robotics in colorectal surgery worldwide, data regarding its uptake Australasia are lacking. This study examines the trends robotic Australia during last 10 years. Methods Data from patients undergoing with da Vinci platform between 2010 and 2019 were obtained. Overall, numbers specific procedures across obtained Medicare Benefit Schedule over same period. Pearson's correlation analysis was used to determine statistical overall time....
Abstract Background Although currently limited, the requirement for colorectal trainees to attain skills in robotic surgery is likely increase due further utilization of platforms globally. The aim study describe training programme utilized and assess outcomes fellowship surgery. Methods A structured was generated across a tertiary hospital setting. Review four prospectively maintained fellow operative logbooks performed caseload skill acquisition. Operative patient‐related were compared...
The acquisition of procedural skills is an essential component learning for medical trainees. objective this study was to assess which teaching method performing urinary catheterisation associated with most efficient skill and retention. We evaluated factors affecting retention when using simulators as adjuncts training. Forty-two second year students were taught catheter insertion different methods. interactive group (n = 19) a lecture format presentation high fidelity human simulator. They...
