Surgical management of small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours
➡️ https://t.co/IB3jb3wXWQ

Les TNE de l’intestin grêle nécessitent une approche chirurgicale différente, conciliant contrôle oncologique, préservation de la fonction intestinale, soulagement des symptômes et qualité de vie à long terme. Cette Commission BJS souligne l’importance d’une prise en charge multidisciplinaire, experte des TNE, ainsi que la nécessité de stratégies plus standardisées et fondées sur les preuves tout au long du parcours périopératoire.

Open excisional haemorrhoidectomy versus transanal haemorrhoidal dearterialization for grade III haemorrhoids: open-label #RCT
➡️ https://t.co/5Bz4y0FZNP

🧪 Single-centre RCT (n=50) comparing open excisional haemorrhoidectomy (OEH) vs transanal haemorrhoidal dearterialization (THD).

📊 Clinical failure was much higher with THD (61% vs 8%; P<0.001), with all reoperations occurring in the THD group.
⚖️ Both techniques improved symptoms and QoL, but OEH was more effective overall.
💥 OEH caused more early postoperative pain and longer recovery (21 vs 14 days; P=0.010).

🎯 Take-home: OEH offers superior durability, while THD may reduce short-term pain at the cost of higher failure and reoperation rates.

Surgical site infection
➡️ https://t.co/E9DwD9D2xT

🧼 Surgical site infections (SSI) occur within 30 days after surgery (or up to 1 year with prosthetic material) and range from superficial wound infection to deep or organ/space abscesses
🏥 In Europe, SSIs account for ~16% of healthcare-associated infections and are linked to a 2–11× increase in postoperative mortality, longer hospital stay, and higher costs
⚠️ Risk is multifactorial: procedure-related (clean ~2% vs contaminated >10%, highest in colorectal surgery), patient-related (diabetes, obesity, smoking, immunosuppression), and surgical technique
🦠 Most SSIs are caused by Gram-positive cocci (~54%), while Gram-negative Enterobacterales (~31%) dominate in abdominal and colorectal procedures
✅ Prevention and management rely on timely antibiotic prophylaxis, meticulous surgical technique, early diagnosis, and prompt source control, supported by hospital surveillance and feedback programs

Robotic-assisted rectal cancer surgery is associated with superior short- and long-term outcomes, a large-scale study finds.📈
Compared to open and laparoscopic procedures, robot-assisted surgery had the lowest complication and mortality rates, the shortest hospital stays, and the highest 5-year overall survival and relapse-free survival.🇯🇵

[Surgical Ergonomics @SurgErgonomics]

Surgeons report neck, shoulder &amp; back pain at rates comparable to apprentice construction workers—using the same MSK questionnaire.

This isn’t “normal discomfort.”
It’s occupational risk.
Ergonomics = surgeon health + career longevity.
