Mashup Score: 4
It is increasingly recognized that non-opioid analgesia is an important analgesia in the perioperative period. Specifically, NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) have been touted as an adjunct, or even replacement, for opioids. However, uptake of NSAIDs has been slow due to concern for side effects, including bleeding. We sought to understand the risk of bleeding caused by NSAIDs in the…

Mashup Score: 1Clinical and Cost Outcomes of Robot-Assisted Inguinal Hernia Repair: A Systematic Review - 3 year(s) ago
Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common general surgical procedures, with more than 20 million hernias repaired worldwide annually.1 While most surgeons use an open approach, there has been a growth in laparoscopic and robotic techniques among unilateral, bilateral, and recurrent hernia repairs.2,3 Advantages have been lauded, with laparoscopic and robotic repair allowing for superior…

Mashup Score: 0Infectious Complication in Relation to the Prophylactic Mesh Position: The PRIMA Trial Revisited - 3 year(s) ago
Prophylactic mesh reinforcement has proven to reduce the incidence of incisional hernia (IH). Fear of infectious complications may withhold the widespread implementation of prophylactic mesh reinforcement, particularly in the onlay position.

Mashup Score: 1Method, Material, and Machine: A Review for the Surgeon Using Three-Dimensional Printing for Accelerated Device Production - 3 year(s) ago
Physicians are at the forefront of identifying innovative targets to address current medical needs. 3D printing technology has emerged as a state-of-the-art method of prototyping medical devices or producing patient-specific models that is more cost-efficient, with faster turnaround time, in comparison to traditional prototype manufacturing. However, initiating 3D printing projects can be…

Mashup Score: 2Colorectal Cancer Prevention in Lung Transplant Recipients: The Need for an Enhanced Surveillance Protocol - 3 year(s) ago
Solid organ transplant recipients are at increased risk for noncutaneous neoplasms, including colorectal cancer (CRC). We evaluated precancerous lesions detected by post-transplant surveillance colonoscopy to infer the rate at which new adenomas develop in this population.

Lung transplant recipients have a significantly higher risk of precancerous adenoma formation than average risk adults. We suggest an enhanced surveillance protocol for lung transplant recipients. https://t.co/nnoenE5EBy #VisualAbstract #SoMe4Surgery https://t.co/LN5bGDxyP0

Mashup Score: 0Whole Blood Thrombin Generation in Severely Injured Patients Requiring Massive Transfusion - 3 year(s) ago
Despite the prevalence of hypocoagulability after injury, the majority of trauma patients paradoxically present with elevated thrombin generation (TG). Although several studies have examined plasma TG post injury, this has not been assessed in whole blood. We hypothesize that whole blood TG is lower in hypocoagulopathy, and TG effectively predicts massive transfusion (MT).

Novel work in whole blood thrombin generation demonstrates generation is markedly decreased after injury and shock, driving trauma-induced coagulopathy. https://t.co/LTooYboWKG @JuliaColemanMD @mitchelljayc #VisualAbstract #SoMe4Surgery #AuthorVideo: https://t.co/TdzdSfeoyY https://t.co/6qBeWLsxux

Mashup Score: 1Outcomes of Carotid Revascularization in Patients with Contralateral Carotid Artery Occlusion - 3 year(s) ago
Little is known about the best revascularization procedure for patients with contralateral carotid artery occlusion (CCO). We aim to compare the outcomes of transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR), carotid endarterectomy (CEA), and transfemoral carotid artery stenting (TFCAS) in patients with CCO.

We found TCAR to be associated with favorable outcomes compared with TFCAS in patients with contralateral occlusion independent of their symptomatic status. https://t.co/Z9jnsNBkwF @malas_mahmoud @Hanaa_Aridi @NadinElsayed1 #VisualAbstract #AuthorVideo: https://t.co/xihbZY8VKE https://t.co/q77blmKckZ

Mashup Score: 0Effect of Posterior Tracheopexy on Risk of Recurrence in Children after Recurrent Tracheo-Esophageal Fistula Repair - 3 year(s) ago
A recurrent tracheo-esophageal fistula can complicate esophageal atresia and tracheo-esophageal fistula (TEF) repair in children. Therapeutic approaches and the rate of recurrence vary widely. Most reports are limited by small cohorts and short-term follow-up, and rates of re-recurrence are substantial, making it difficult to select the treatment of choice. We aimed to review our experience with…

Recurrent tracheo-esophageal fistulas have been approached with a myriad of interventions with progressively higher risk of re-recurrence. Our strategy eliminates the re-recurrence risk. https://t.co/lnAt6b01Wb #VisualAbstract #SoMe4Surgery #AuthorVideo: https://t.co/ncrZy5WiwR https://t.co/nwfEEqHrvL

If Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) are not recognized within patients in health services research, we miss an opportunity to ensure health equity in patient outcomes. However, it is unknown what the rates are of AAPIs inclusion in surgical outcomes research.

Despite race data being reliably available in the NSQIP database, only 62% of studies reported race from 2008-2018.

Mashup Score: 2Appraising the Quality of Reporting of American College of Surgeons NSQIP Emergency General Surgery Studies - 3 year(s) ago
The quality of emergency general surgery (EGS) studies that use the American College of Surgeons-National Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database is variable. We aimed to critically appraise the methodologic reporting of EGS ACS-NSQIP studies.

The methodological reporting of EGS studies utilizing the ACS-NSQIP database is suboptimal, despite the presence of journal policies requiring authors to adhere to reporting statements. https://t.co/wBnexA7D2m @ElmohebM @hayfarani @TraumaMGH #VisualAbstract #SoMe4Surgery https://t.co/Umhu7cNnE1
