Mashup Score: 1
Somedays it feels like we are living in a postscientific world, where no one is asking the important but perhaps inconvenient questions—and then a paper like this comes along. This study by Dallal et al1 used a health system–wide cost accounting system to describe differences in direct disposable costs for 98 surgeons across 14 hospitals performing nearly 15,000 cholecystectomies. The study has 3 primary findings. First, the use of robotic cholecystectomy increased rapidly from 0.1% in 2017 to 26% in 2024.

Mashup Score: 1Surgical journal clubs in the digital world: Old wine in new barrels - 5 month(s) ago
In the multifaceted realm of surgical education, journal clubs (JCs) provide distinct opportunities of educating not only medical students and surgical residents but also in the continuing education of faculty. Dependent on their format, educational domains addressed through the JC include—apart from the topic-specific knowledge—critical appraisal of publications, evidence-based care, and research methods.

Mashup Score: 13Should endoscopic submucosal dissection be offered to patients with early colorectal cancer? - 6 month(s) ago
Endoscopic submucosal dissection is increasingly used to treat early-stage colorectal cancer. This study evaluated the feasibility of endoscopic submucosal dissection in this setting and the determinants of lymph node metastasis.

Mashup Score: 5Time delay and evidence profiles forming clinical recommendations of US surgical society guidelines - 7 month(s) ago
Surgical society guidelines facilitate implementation of up-to-date, evidence-based care, but concerns regarding the contemporality and quality of evidence can hinder adherence. We aimed to evaluate the time gap between evidence publication and their inclusion within clinical guidelines—the publication-to-guideline delay—and characterize the quality of evidence within contemporary surgical society guidelines.

Mashup Score: 11Is distal pancreatectomy the optimal surgical procedure for pancreatic neck cancer? - 7 month(s) ago
The optimal resection for pancreatic neck cancer is challenging in clinical practice because we could dissect by pancreaticoduodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of lymph node dissection and to help determine the optimal surgical treatment for pancreatic neck cancer.

Ultrasonography for trauma is an integral part of the Advanced Trauma Life Support algorithm and supported extensively in the literature. The reliability of chest ultrasonography as a screening examination for pneumothorax during initial trauma evaluation is unclear. We performed a prospective study where we hypothesized that chest ultrasonography would have low sensitivity for detecting clinically significant pneumothorax.

The tall cell variant of papillary thyroid cancer generally has a worse prognosis compared with the classical variant. Thyroid GuidePx is a genomic classifier capable of classifying papillary thyroid cancer into 3 molecular subtypes using fine-needle aspirate. Type 1 and 2 have low recurrence rates, particularly in early tumors (1–4 cm and N0). Type 3 is characterized by aggressive biology and high recurrence rates regardless of size and lymph node status. The study examines the interaction of tall cell variant histology with Thyroid GuidePx risk stratification.

Mashup Score: 3Open versus laparoscopic versus robotic inguinal hernia repair: A propensity-matched outcome analysis - 8 month(s) ago
Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common surgical procedures in the world. Each repair technique, open, laparoscopic, and robotic, has its advantages and advocates. Prior studies have compared 2 techniques, but there are little data comparing all 3 approaches with long-term follow-up.

Mashup Score: 9Resection of the remnant gallbladder after subtotal cholecystectomy: An institutional experience - 8 month(s) ago
Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy is an acceptable method of preventing bile duct injuries in “difficult” gallbladders. However, it is associated with postoperative bile leaks and retained gallstones that may necessitate resection of the gallbladder remnant. This study evaluates the outcomes of patients who underwent completion cholecystectomy for ongoing symptoms or complication after subtotal cholecystectomy.
