Please join us in congratulating Ronald Bleday, MD, the Research All-Star surgeon of the week. Dr. Bleday is the Vice Chair for Quality and Patient Safety in the Department of Surgery and Section Chief in the Division of Colorectal Surgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and in the Top 5% of surgeons conducting research in GI surgery. "One of our core missions in research at Mass General Brigham is to uncover operational methods that enhance patient care. For instance, our analysis of many surgical cases pinpointed key factors leading to post-surgical complications. The insights gained drove us to adopt ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocols. Consequently, through standardization and adherence by surgeons, we've seen an 83% decrease in surgical site infections. This initiative has also significantly lowered the incidence of embolisms and reduced prolonged use of narcotics post-surgery. These outcomes exemplify how dedicated research directly translates into tangible improvements in patient health and recovery."

Please join us in congratulating Edward Benzel, the Research All-Star surgeon of the week. Dr. Benzel is the Emeritus Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at Cleveland Clinic, and in the Top 1% of surgeons conducting research in spine treatment. "At Cleveland Clinic's Clinical Spine Lab, we've transitioned from basic science to publishing 30-40 impactful studies annually, aiming to advance the field of spine surgery. Under the guidance of leaders including Dr. Mroz and Steinmetz, our team focuses on making our research accessible to surgeons worldwide. The critical need for precise patient selection, to prevent unnecessary surgeries, highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis. By embracing value-based care, prioritizing quality over cost, we are setting a new standard for healthcare, ensuring that patient outcomes always come first."

Even if the title of a research study states that joint arthroplasty patients have been studied and an abstract refers to joint arthroplasty, if the hospital studied has three surgeons who performed 80% of those cases, what has been studied are three surgeons' patients. We showed that variability among surgeons in their contributions to incremental costs associated with perioperative complications only slightly exceeds the variability of those incremental costs among surgical categories. Consequence: perioperative surgical home and enhanced recovery research results involving single institutions and a small number of surgeons are generalizable to other hospitals and healthcare systems. https://lnkd.in/gdksx3im

EndoShunt Medical is a class II surgical device that empowers trauma surgeons with the ability to address the unspoken pandemic of uncontrolled abdominal bleeding. Their novel device empowers surgeons with the ability to create a temporary, targeted, size-adjustable shunt on the inside of the aorta, or IVC, to effectively address bleeding presurgery. Our key features, defined by trauma surgeons, ensure a patient’s blood flows to where it should without flowing out of where it shouldn’t – drastically decreasing the mortality & morbidity associated with current treatment alternatives. In the future, EndoShunt will revolutionize abdominal hemorrhage control by giving trauma surgeons the gift of TIME so they can give trauma patients the gift of LIFE.

Dual-Antiplatelet Therapy After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Survey of UK Cardiac Surgeons    Explore the current trends in #DAPT after #CABG in the UK to impro improve understanding of the existing  practice.  https://lnkd.in/edcuXJ4X

Our recently published article in Isra Medical Journal advocates for the use of Titanium Elastic Nailing instead of Hip Spica Cast for children requiring treatment for femoral shaft fractures. The best thing about medical research is that it provides an evidence-based and evidence-guided approach to treating medical and surgical conditions and forms the basics of creating and updating treatment guidelines. Wish to be a part of more such projects that can improve patient care. ❤️ 💫 #researchpaper #orthopedicsurgery
