PURPOSE As cancer surgery restarts after the first COVID-19 wave, health care providers urgently require data to determine where elective is best performed. This study aimed whether COVID-19–free surgical pathways were associated with lower postoperative pulmonary complication rates compared hospitals no defined pathway. PATIENTS AND METHODS international, multicenter cohort included patients who underwent for 10 solid types without preoperative suspicion of SARS-CoV-2. Participating from...
The 2015 Lancet Commission on global surgery identified and anaesthesia as indispensable parts of holistic health-care systems. However, COVID-19 exposed the fragility planned surgical services around world, which have also been neglected in pandemic recovery planning. This study aimed to develop validate a novel index support local elective system strengthening address growing backlogs.
The CovidSurg-Cancer Consortium aimed to explore the impact of COVID-19 in surgical patients and services for solid cancers at start pandemic. CovidSurg-Gynecologic Oncology Cancer subgroup was particularly concerned about magnitude adverse outcomes caused by disrupted gynecologic cancer care during pandemic, which are currently unclear.
Abstract Background Surgical services are preparing to scale up in areas affected by COVID-19. This study aimed evaluate the association between preoperative SARS-CoV-2 testing and postoperative pulmonary complications patients undergoing elective cancer surgery. Methods international cohort included adult surgery for 19 April 2020. Patients suspected of infection before operation were excluded. The primary outcome measure was at 30 days after Preoperative strategies adjusted confounding...
Abstract Background Ileus is common after elective colorectal surgery, and associated with increased adverse events prolonged hospital stay. The aim was to assess the role of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for reducing ileus surgery. Methods A prospective multicentre cohort study delivered by an international, student- trainee-led collaborative group. Adult patients undergoing resection between January April 2018 were included. primary outcome time gastrointestinal recovery,...
This study aimed to determine the impact of pulmonary complications on death after surgery both before and during severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic.
Abstract Background Ileus is common after colorectal surgery and associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications. Identifying features normal bowel recovery the appropriateness for hospital discharge challenging. This study explored safety before return function. Methods A prospective, multicentre cohort was undertaken across international collaborative network. Adult patients undergoing elective resection between January April 2018 were included. The main outcome interest...
Nipple sparing mastectomy with free tissue transfer for breast reconstruction offers excellent aesthetic outcomes but poses a challenge in monitoring the buried flap. Venous anastomotic flow couplers directly monitor flaps without need skin paddles. In two year period we used Synovis GEM™ coupler on 24 DIEP flaps. our practice, are effective reconstruction. The avoidance of second procedure to remove paddle improves patient experience and nullifies additional cost. One needed return theatre...
Abstract Background Esophagectomy is associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Preoperative cardiopulmonary fitness has been correlated outcomes major surgery. Variables derived from exercise testing (CPET) have postoperative outcomes. It unclear whether preoperative cardiorespiratory patients undergoing esophagectomy long-term survival. This study aimed to evaluate any the CPET variables routinely esophageal cancer may aid in predicting survival after esophagectomy. Methods...
Abstract Background Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a very common problem, and its incidence increasing over time. NICE guidelines, describes of AP in UK around 56 cases / 100000 population. Majority are self-limiting, whereas only 15% patients develop serious complications, with an overall mortality 5%. Traditionally, Patients managed as inpatients much pressure on NHS resources. As we now have better understanding AP, pain becomes the main concern management most self-limiting. The aim to set...
Postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of major gastrointestinal surgery with an impact on short- and long-term survival. No validated system for risk stratification exists this patient group. This study aimed to validate externally prognostic model AKI after in two multicentre cohort studies.The Outcomes After Kidney Surgery (OAKS) was developed predict the 7 days using six routine datapoints (age, sex, ASA grade, preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate,...
Background: Tertiary hyperparathyroidism (THPT), is occasionally seen after transplantation due to autonomously functioning parathyroid glands, and considered a continuum of secondary (SHPT) in spite the correction renal failure with transplantation. Surgical parathyroidectomy warranted when THPT becomes refractory medical treatment, especially if biochemically or clinically significant. can affect graft function successful calcium-phosphate control remains important overall post transplant...

Abstract Staging and prognostication in esophgaeal cancer patients is based on their TNM stage. Previous research has suggested venous invasion (VI), lymph vessel (LI) perineural (PNI) as adverse prognostic indicators with advanced disease receiving neoadjuvant treatment. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence significance these factors esophagus or gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) who were treated unimodality surgery. Methods A contemporaneously maintained database used identify...
