😷#RCT: Laparoscopic ventral hernia repair: early follow-up of a randomized controlled study of primary fascial closure before mesh placement. ➡️https://bit.ly/3vskBWx 🏥In this study that included 192 procedures, closure of the hernia defect did not increase the risk of postoperative hernia site complications, or pain after three months. 💬No indication to close the defect unless late issues such as recurrence are more common. 🙌BJS (British Journal of Surgery) #LeadingSurgicalEducation

How is a laparoscopic hysterectomy performed. A laparoscopic hysterectomy is a minimally invasive procedure that can offer many benefits over traditional surgery, including smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery. During a laparoscopic hysterectomy, the surgeon uses a laparoscope to remove the uterus and, if necessary, other reproductive organs through small incisions in the abdomen. This advanced technique results in reduced scarring and a shorter hospital stay, allowing for a quicker return to normal activities. If you're exploring treatment options for gynaecological conditions, ask your doctor about the benefits of a laparoscopic hysterectomy.

#FluorescenceFriday Fluorescence lifetime can help characterise cellular activity and assist in the visualisation of #tumourcells. The widefield #FLIM HORIBA camera, FLIMera, enables video-rate #Fluorescence Lifetime Acquisition by Simultaneous Histogramming (FLASH). This offers the potential for real-time visualisation of tumour boundaries during surgery. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eY9w54mt #fluorescencelifetime #microscopy #guidedsurgery

Editor in Chief Cecelia E. Schmalbach, MD, MSc, is joined by senior author Jonathon O. Russell, MD, and Associate Editor Raymond Liu Chai, MD, to discuss the pros and cons of two approaches to thyroidectomy as outlined in the paper “Long-term Quality of Life After Thyroidectomy: Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach Versus Transcervical Approach” which published in the July 2024 special issue of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery. They compare the quality of life for patients under two methods including scarring and self consciousness. #Thyroid #QualityofLife #QOL #otolaryngology #ENT https://hubs.ly/Q02JsSR00

Learning Objectives: ✔️ Explore the benefits of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for the forefoot, with a focus on hammertoe correction and Akin osteotomy. ✔️ Understand new technological advancements, including OptimalHT and OptimalAkin, that make these procedures more streamlined and reproducible. ✔️ Learn how to recognize and manage patients in the postoperative period.

In this episode of the Journal Club Spotlight, we share a recent update to guidelines from the Society of Neurointerventional Surgery (SNIS). It outlines an updated set of recommendations for using antiplatelet and antithrombotic therapy in neurointerventional procedures. In the setting of neurointerventional procedures, recommendations for platelet function testing previously only appeared in the guidelines of the Japanese Society of Neuroendovascular Therapy. This update of the SNIS guidelines includes this practice for platelet function testing, as it is considered useful to guide local practice as well.

💡This recent study delves into the predictive power of machine learning in forecasting osteoporotic fractures post-vertebroplasty. Leveraging a support vector machine-based model, researchers developed a web-based calculator that effectively assesses the risk of new-onset vertebral compression fractures following percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP). This innovative approach enhances clinical decision-making and fosters personalized care in spinal surgery, marking a significant advancement in predictive analytics for osteoporotic fractures.
