Improving Trauma Patient Management: Predisposing Factors for Trauma-induced Physiological Disorders and the Importance of Damage Control Surgery Curr. Probl. Surg. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-15 Najmeh Iranmanesh, Maryam Hosseini, Ali Tajaddini, Leila Shayan, Pooria Fazeli, Ali Taheri Akerdi, Hamid Reza Abbasi, Shahram Bolandparvaz, Hossein Abdolrahimzadeh Fard, Shahram Paydar
Several studies have shown that correcting physiological disorders takes precedence performing definitive surgery in trauma patients, so damage control surgery (DCS) has become a widely accepted approach. This study aims to identify the predisposing factors for trauma-induced physiological disorders as a potential and proven factor for performing DCS. A retrospective study was conducted on trauma patients

Ileorectal Intussusception Compared to End-to-End Ileorectal Anastomosis after Laparoscopic Total Colectomy in Slow-Transit Constipation Curr. Probl. Surg. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-15 Hong Zhi Geng M.S., Chen Xu M.D., Yongjun Yu M.S., Jiying Cong, Zhao Zhang M.D., Yuwei Li M.D., Qilong Chen M.D.
Although end-to-end ileorectal anastomosis (EEIRA) following total colectomy is the most effective surgical treatment for slow-transit constipation (STC), frequent diarrhea and urgent defecation is often not resolved for over 6 months after surgery. This study aimed to compare defecating frequency, surgical complications, and quality of life after ileorectal intussusception anastomosis (IRIA) or EEIRA

Adoption of Ride Share Services Associated with Decreased Organ Donor Availability Curr. Probl. Surg. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-28 David Blitzer, Seth T. Lirette, Kristen T Carter, Asim Mohammed, David A. Baran, Hannah Copeland
Recent single center studies have shown an association between the introduction and adoption of ride sharing services and a significant reduction in alcohol-related motor vehicle collisions and fatalities at urban trauma centers. There is a lack of studies that have evaluated the effect of the introduction and widespread adoption of ride sharing services on the number of organ donors available from

Medical and Surgical Treatment of Acute Appendicitis: Past, Present and Future Curr. Probl. Surg. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-23 María A. Casas, Manuela Monrabal Lezama, Francisco Schlottmann
Acute appendicitis (AA) remains the most common surgical emergency worldwide. Currently, the preferred treatment modality for AA in adults is laparoscopic appendectomy. However, alternative and efficient therapies have emerged in the last years. For instance, non-operative management, endoscopic appendectomy, and robotic appendectomy are now considered for patients with AA. The aim of this study was

Higher rate of chronic pain in young men after open mesh vs nonmesh repair of elective primary unilateral indirect inguinal hernia: A nationwide questionnaire study Curr. Probl. Surg. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-23 Hugin Reistrup, Kristoffer Andresen, Stina Öberg, Jacob Rosenberg
Young age is a risk factor for chronic pain after inguinal hernia repair, but the role of the mesh in young patients is uncertain. The aim of this study was to assess chronic pain after open mesh versus non-mesh repair of indirect inguinal hernia in young men. Validated questionnaires were sent to men aged 18–29 years at the time of an elective primary unilateral open repair of an indirect inguinal

Nasogastric tube after laparoscopic Heller-Dor surgery: Do you really need it? Curr. Probl. Surg. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-02-15 Giuseppe Palomba MD, Raffaele Basile MD, Marianna Capuano MD, Marcella Pesce MD PhD, Sara Rurgo MD, Giovanni Sarnelli MD, Giovanni Domenico De Palma MD, Giovanni Aprea MD
Achalasia is a rare esophageal motor disorder. Laparoscopic Heller-Dor surgery (LHD) is among the most effective treatments. The use of nasogastric tube (NGT) following LHD is still controversial. The aim of our study was to evaluate the role of NGT in achalasia patients undergoing LHD. We prospectively enrolled achalasia patients treated with LHD from January 2019 until June 2022 at our institution

Cost-effectiveness of staging laparoscopy with peritoneal cytology in pancreatic adenocarcinoma Curr. Probl. Surg. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-18 Maya Jodidio BA, Neal S. Panse MPH, Vishnu Prasath MS, Ronak Trivedi BS, Simran Arjani MD, Ravi J. Chokshi MD MPH FACS
Background/Objectives Pancreatic adenocarcinoma portends poor survival despite high treatment cost. Staging is commonly performed with computed tomography (CT), which may fail to capture small metastases. Laparoscopy and peritoneal cytology after initial CT may improve accuracy of staging. This study analyzed cost-effectiveness of CT alone and CT with diagnostic laparoscopy and cytology with subsequent

Challenges in Rural Plastic Surgery: Availability, Scope of Practice, and Motivating Factors Curr. Probl. Surg. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-12 Zachary A. Koenig MD, Joshua T. Henderson MD, Jesse D. Meaike MD, Jack J. Gelman MD
Background : Concurrent with the recent closure of several rural hospitals is the limited access to specialty physicians in rural settings. Some estimates expect rural America to grow by 1.3% by 2030, a 23% higher rate than the projected urban rate. It is essential that rural care has the capacity to meet these demands, and plastic surgeons can serve a critical role in alleviating this crisis. Therefore

Placement of Nasogastric Tubes in Pancreaticoduodenectomy Patients: Switching from Immediate Intraoperative Removal to Avoiding Unnecessary Perioperative Use Curr. Probl. Surg. (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2024-01-10 Jin-Ming Wu, Ting-Chun Kuo, Chien-Hui Wu, Yu-Wen Tien
Background The placement of nasogastric tubes (NGTs) in abdominal surgery has been adopted for decades to attenuate ileus and prevent aspiration pneumonia. In the recent era, the guidelines recommend not using NGT routinely, and even in pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), immediate removal of NGT in operating rooms (ORs) was suggested. However, the clinical outcome and safety of abandoning NGT during the
