Abstract null null Background null Conventional statistics are based on a simple cause-and-effect principle. Postoperative complications, however, have a multifactorial and interrelated etiology. The application of artificial intelligence might be more accurate to predict postoperative outcomes. The objective of this study was to determine the current quality of studies describing the use of artificial intelligence in predicting complications in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. null ...
Abstract null null Background null Laparoscopic cholecystectomy operative difficulty is highly variable and influences outcomes. This systematic review analyzes the performance and clinical value of statistical models to preoperatively predict laparoscopic cholecystectomy operative difficulty. null null null Methods null PRISMA guidelines were followed. PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched until June 2020. Primary studies developing or validating preoperative models predicting ...
Abstract null null Background null There are no reports on nationwide trends in subtotal cholecystectomy (STC) and cholecystostomy in England. We hypothesized that, as in the United States, a substantial increase in the utilization of these surgical procedures, over time, may be observed. We aimed to generate a reliable report on 4 of the most common gallbladder surgical procedures in England to allow cross-procedure comparisons and highlight significant changes in the management of benign gallb...

Abstract null null Thyroidectomy remains the gold standard treatment for benign, symptomatic, or enlarging thyroid nodules, malignant nodules, and metastatic lymph node disease. However, in the past 2 decades, image-guided interventional techniques have emerged as promising alternative treatments for these conditions. Percutaneous ethanol ablation is now an accepted first-line treatment for recurring cystic thyroid nodules. Thermal ablation techniques such as high-intensity focused ultrasound, l...

Abstract null null Background null We sought to define the impact of high- versus low-quality hospitals on the risk of adverse outcomes among patients undergoing hepatopancreatic surgery relative to social vulnerability. Social vulnerability is an important factor associated with risk of adverse postoperative outcomes. null null null Methods null Patients from 2013 to 2017 were identified from the Medicare Inpatient Standard Analytic File. Hospital quality was determined by calculating risk-adju...

Abstract null null Background null To explore the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of patients with mesh-related complications after hernia repair. The rate of long-term mesh-related complications requiring procedural intervention after abdominal core surgery, including hernia repair, is unknown. Determining this rate is challenging due to its anticipated low chance of occuring and historically poor systematic long-term follow-up in patients’ hernia repair. The lived experience of these patie...

Background null Per-oral endoscopic myotomy is an alternative to pneumatic dilation and laparoscopic Heller myotomy to treat lower esophageal sphincter diseases. Laparoscopic Heller myotomy and per-oral endoscopic myotomy perioperative outcomes data come from relatively small retrospective series and 1 randomized trial. We aimed to estimate the number of inpatient procedures performed in the United States and compare perioperative outcomes and costs of laparoscopic Heller myotomy and per-oral en...
Abstract null null Background null There is wide variability and considerable controversy regarding the classification of appendicitis and the need for postoperative antibiotics. This study aimed to assess interrater agreement with respect to the classification of appendicitis and its influence on the use of postoperative antibiotics amongst surgeons and surgical trainees. null null null Methods null A survey comprising 15 intraoperative images captured during appendectomy was distributed to sur...

Abstract null null Background null Pathological treatment effect of resected pancreatic adenocarcinoma after neoadjuvant therapy has prognostic implications. The impact for patients who received chemotherapy alone or chemoradiotherapy is not well defined. null null null Methods null Patients with localized pancreatic adenocarcinoma who had pancreatectomy after neoadjuvant therapy at 3 centers from 2011 to 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy groups were eval...
