💬 Viewpoint: Safe scale-up of #Telesurgery requires enforceable standards for latency, cybersecurity, licensure, liability, and registry oversight, with investment in local surgical capacity so access expands equitably. https://t.co/Lw9rIMIPOi

📊 Among Veterans Affairs hospitals, #EHR-based risk adjustment performed similarly to manually abstracted data for hospital-level 30-day postoperative mortality, supporting more efficient surgical #QualityImprovement measurement. https://t.co/S4O2oVr5OF

📊 Among patients undergoing #EmergencyGeneralSurgery, hospital verification by the American College of Surgeons was associated with shorter length of stay, lower acute kidney injury, and lower 30-day mortality. https://t.co/tkx3JZ1Ljw

📝 This review reflects the most recent evidence and recommendations on severity grading, resuscitation, and timing of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and cholecystectomy for patients with #AcuteCholangitis

📝 Viewpoint: Postoperative opioid stewardship has focused on quantity, but this article argues that opioid selection also warrants study, with #Buprenorphine as a candidate whose potential advantages are balanced by rescue and regulatory limitations.

Among patients undergoing wide excision for #Melanoma, compliance with new Commission on Cancer surgical documentation guidelines improved in 2023, including margin size, excision depth, and use of Commission on Cancer forms. https://t.co/cxWRZrNHWh

[JAMA Surgery @JAMASurgery]

📊 A comprehensive #ICD10 code list aligned with National Surgical Quality Improvement Program definitions identified #PostoperativeComplications at rates comparable to the earlier #ICD9 era. https://t.co/Kl96X4pmsv

📈National inpatient #Surgery spending increased from 2016 to 2022. Rising per-admission costs, increasing patient complexity, and disproportionate expenditures of cardiac surgery and older adults are contributing factors. https://t.co/Yu2smUTB9B

[JAMA Surgery @JAMASurgery]

📊 Preoperative #GLP1 receptor agonist use was not associated with greater 12-month weight loss after #BariatricSurgery, and postoperative outcomes were similar to those of patients not taking these medications. https://t.co/ivQrfDH9Ee

[JAMA Surgery @JAMASurgery]

Among patients listed for #LiverTransplant, #MASH was associated with worse overall, waiting-list, and posttransplant mortality, but this excess risk was attenuated after adjustment for diabetes and kidney dysfunction. https://t.co/wbsWGkfZsH

[JAMA Surgery @JAMASurgery]

Residents in #SurgeryResidency generally rated the effectiveness of nonclinical learning activities lower than faculty, with large gaps for attending rounds and technique or operative simulation. https://t.co/VrkwpbDzLi

[JAMA Surgery @JAMASurgery]

📊 Among children and young adults with #Nonrhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma, local recurrence after R0 resection was low, and wider than 1-mm negative margins were associated with lower recurrence risk. https://t.co/nT1cKkiYKM

In patients with atypical ductal hyperplasia, atypical lobular hyperplasia, or classic lobular carcinoma in situ (#LCIS), these guidelines recommend breast cancer risk assessment and selective use of diagnostic excision based on lesion type and concordanc https://t.co/x1g0h0XqoY

[JAMA Surgery @JAMASurgery]

💬 Viewpoint: In #Hepatopancreatobiliary cancers, molecular profiling, #ArtificialIntelligence, and #LiquidBiopsy could refine surgical timing, perioperative treatment, and recurrence monitoring beyond anatomic staging.

📊 Among patients undergoing #VentralHerniaRepair, women presented with more complex hernia phenotypes and experienced higher 30-day wound morbidity than men. Women also had higher recurrence at 2 and 3 years, although recurrence was similar at 1 year.

Among postoperative wound photographs, #ArtificialIntelligence detected images suggestive of #SurgicalSiteInfection and showed clinical utility, with potential to support earlier review and triage after discharge. https://t.co/HosYHvDTPr

[JAMA Surgery @JAMASurgery]

For people living with #Dementia, surgical decision-making was complicated by inconsistent electronic health record documentation, challenges assessing capacity, and limited access to longitudinal clinical information. https://t.co/SfR3D7uvDr

[JAMA Surgery @JAMASurgery]

Among patients with resectable and borderline-resectable #PancreaticCancer treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, adding #Radiotherapy was associated with improved pathologic response, but was not associated with improved overall survival. https://t.co/4I7j20GBFF

[JAMA Surgery @JAMASurgery]

Among patients in #PediatricUrology undergoing complex lower urinary tract reconstruction, #EnhancedRecoveryAfterSurgery was associated with shorter length of stay, lower postoperative opioid use, and fewer complications vs historical care. https://t.co/EkxGRyDqVJ
