Background: We hypothesized that the Minimally Invasive Surgery Trainer (MIST-VR; VP Medical R, London, U.K.) would be as effective Yale Laparoscopic Skills Course in improving laparoscopic intracorporeal suturing skills. Materials and Methods: Each student made six attempts to tie a knot laparoscopically. Students were then randomized train on MIST-VR for five sessions (six skills/session) or (three over 5 days. On completion of training, all students evaluated by test consisting knot....
Background Socioeconomic status affects surgical outcomes, however these factors are not included in clinical quality improvement data and risk models. We performed a prospective registry analysis to determine if the Distressed Communities Index (DCI), composite socioeconomic ranking by zip code, could predict risk-adjusted outcomes resource utilisation. Methods All patients undergoing surgery (n=44,451) regional database (American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement...
To analyze postrecurrence progression in the context of recurrence sites and assess implications for treatment.
Objective Characterize the sensitivity and specificity of TransImpedance Matrix (TIM) recordings compared with x-rays in detecting cochlear implant tip foldovers. Study Design Retrospective. Setting Multi-institutional, academic private surgery centers. Patients 6 months older undergoing implantation. Interventions After array insertion, intraoperative TIM were conducted to confirm appropriate placement. If a foldover was identified, repeat followed by x-ray, performed. Main Outcome Measures...
Investigators have looked at the effect of night call on surgical residents but not learning laparoscopic skills. The Minimally Invasive Surgical Trainer-Virtual Reality (MIST-VR) tests 6 tasks similar to a cholecystectomy. We hypothesized that would impair performance and skills improve rather deteriorate after call. Seventeen volunteers were tested before Data collected included economy movement, time, number errors for each hand/foot. A paired Student t test was used statistical analysis....
Multiple prospective, randomized studies show that breast conservation therapy (BCT) results in survival rates equal to mastectomy (Mx) for patients with early stage cancer (ESBC). Nevertheless, BCT remains underused certain areas of the nation, without clearly definable reasons. Several have implicated socioeconomic status as one potential cause this disparity usage. We sought compare medically indigent versus insured patients, within same institution.Data from 1993 2000, collected...
To measure the current state of organizational and well-being factors in otolaryngology residency programs associate these perceptions with demographics, pursuit subspecialty fellowships, performance on Otolaryngology Training Examination (OTE).Anonymous mail online survey study residents from Southern, Mid-Atlantic, East South-Central Regions United States.A total 46 across 14 training (22% resident response rate) completed our survey. Residents who scored above 80th percentile OTE...
