Background
Surgical training is under scrutiny for the effect increased resident autonomy may have on patient outcomes. We hypothesize that as laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) difficulty increases, there will be increased involvement by senior residents and attending physicians with no differences in complications.Methods
Ten acute care surgeons were asked to fill out a postoperative questionnaire regarding surgical difficulty after every LC between 11/9/2016 and 3/30/2017. Either the Jonckheere-Terpstra test, Mantel-Haenzel chi square test, or ANOVA was used to test for the association between perioperative data and surgical difficulty.Results
A total of 190?LCs were analyzed. PGY level, percent of surgery time with attending surgeon involvement, partial cholecystectomy rate, and length of operation all significantly rose with increasing level of difficulty (p?<?0.001) with no significant differences in 60-day emergency room bounce-backs, readmission, or complication rates.Conclusions
We found that as LC difficulty increases, so does attending surgeon and/or senior resident involvement, without increased morbidity. 相似文献2.

Background
Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) is an initial alternative to laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for complicated acute cholecystitis (AC). No studies have directly compared costs of index hospitalization and readmissions between PC and LC patients.Methods
The Nationwide Readmissions Database was queried for patients undergoing PC or LC for AC from 2013 through 2014. Primary outcomes including length of stay, and index and total hospital costs at 30- and 60-days were evaluated after 1:1 propensity score matching for patient and hospital characteristics.Results
PC patients had increased index hospital length of stay: 6 days vs 5 days (p?<?0.01). Index admission cost was cheaper for PC ($12,839 vs $13,345, p?=?0.028). Total cost, including readmissions, was significantly increased in PC patients: 30-days (LC: $13,947, PC: $14,592, p?=?0.029) and 60-days (LC: $14,280, PC: $16,518, p?<?0.0001).Conclusions
PC patients were more frequently readmitted, had longer hospital stays, and increased hospital costs compared to those undergoing LC. 相似文献3.

Background
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the standard operative intervention for gallbladder disease. Complications may necessitate conversion to an open cholecystectomy (OC). This study aims to determine the cost-consequences of laparoscopic-to-open conversion using a nationally-representative sample.Methods
Using the National Inpatient Sample (2007–2011), adult patients undergoing emergent LC were identified. Patients undergoing secondary-conversion to OC were subsequently identified. Multivariable regression analyses, accounting for differences in propensity-quintile, mortality, length of stay, and hospital-level factors were then performed to assess for differences in the odds of conversion and total predicted mean costs per index-hospitalization.Results
Of 225,805 observations, conversion to open occurred in 1.86% (n?=?4203) of cases. Increased age, African-American ethnicity, public-insurance and teaching-hospital status were associated with a higher likelihood of conversion (p?<?0.05) after risk-adjustment. Risk-adjusted odds of conversion increased by 34% (95%CI:1.33–1.36) for each day surgery was delayed. Risk-adjusted costs, were 259% higher (absolute-difference $23,358,p?<?0.05) with conversion. Mortality was higher amongst patients undergoing conversion to open (4.98% vs 0.34%,p?<?0.001).Conclusion
Patients undergoing conversion from laparoscopic to open cholecystectomy are at an increased risk of receiving disparate care and increased mortality. 相似文献4.

Background
In 2008, 2005–2006 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) data were used to identify surgical operations contributing disproportionately to morbidity and mortality. Since then, numerous enhanced recovery programs have been utilized to augment quality improvement efforts. This study reassesses procedural complication incidence after a decade of quality improvement efforts.Methods
Data from the 2015 NSQIP were used. The same original 36 general surgery procedure groups were created using Current Procedural Terminology codes. Ninety percent of our 409,230 patients matched into a procedure group and adverse event rates were analyzed for each.Results
Ten procedure groups accounted for 80% of adverse events. Colectomy ranked the highest for adverse events (34%), readmissions (27%) and mortality rates (45.8%). For outpatient cholecystectomy, the relative percent point difference for adverse events has increased by 224% since 2005.Conclusion
Refocusing on colectomy and outpatient cholecystectomy represent current priorities in general surgery. 相似文献5.

Introduction
The objective of this study was to determine whether decision-based procedural mapping demonstrates differences in attendings versus residents.Methods
Attendings and residents were interviewed about operative decision-making in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) using a cognitive task analysis framework. Interviews were converted into procedural maps. Operative steps, patient factors, and surgeon factors noted by attendings and residents were compared. Two scoring methods were used to compare map structures of attendings versus residents.Results
Six attendings and six residents were interviewed. There were no significant differences in the number of patient or surgeon factors identified. Attendings had significantly more operative steps (29.67?±?1.9 vs. 23.3?±?1.9, p?=?0.04) and crosslinks (3.2?±?0.5 vs. 1?±?0.4, p?=?0.005) in their maps and a higher total score (90.2?±?8.4 vs. 63.2?±?3.8, p?=?0.015) than residents.Conclusion
LC procedural map scoring for attendings and residents demonstrated significant differences in structural complexity and may provide a useful framework for assessing decision making. 相似文献6.

Background
This study aimed to identify differences in pattern recognition skill among individuals with varying surgical experience.Methods
Participants reviewed laparoscopic cholecystectomy videos of various difficulty, and paused them when the cystic duct or artery was identified to outline each structure on the monitor. Time taken to identify each structure, accuracy and work load, which was assessed using the NASA-Task Load Index (TLX), were compared among the three groups.Results
Ten students, ten residents and eight attendings participated in the study. Attendings identified the cystic duct and artery significantly faster and more accurately than students, and identified the cystic artery faster than residents. The NASA-TLX score of attendings was significantly lower than that of students and residents.Conclusions
Attendings identified anatomical structures faster, more accurately, and with less effort than students or residents. This platform may be valuable for the assessment and teaching of pattern recognition skill to novice surgeons.Short summary
Accurate anatomical recognition is paramount to proceeding safely in surgery. The assessment platform used in this study differentiated recognition skill among individuals with varing surgical experience. 相似文献7.
Background
10% of patients who undergo a cholecystectomy go on to develop post-cholecystectomy syndrome (PCS). The majority of these patients may suffer from extra-biliary or unrelated organic disorders that may have been present before cholecystectomy. The numerous aetiological causes of PCS result in a wide spectrum of management options, each with varying success in abating symptoms. This systematic review aims to provide a summary of the causative aetiologies of post cholecystectomy syndrome, their incidences and efficacy of available management options.Methods
The Medline, Embase and Cochrane databases were searched for studies patients who developed PCS symptoms following laparoscopic cholecystectomy, published between 1990 and 2016. The aetiology, incidence and management options were extracted, with separate collation of randomised control trials and non-randomised studies that reported intervention. Outcomes included recurrent symptoms following intervention, unscheduled primary and secondary care attendances and complications.Results
Twenty-one studies were included (15 case series, 2 cohort studies, 1 case control, 3 RCTs). Five studies described medical treatment (nifedipine, cisapride, opiates); seven studies described endoscopic or surgical intervention. Early presentation of PCS (<3 years post-cholecystectomy) was more likely to be gastric in origin, and later presentations were found to be more likely due to retained stones. Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD) accounted for a third of cases in an unselected population with PCS.Conclusions
Causes of post cholecystectomy syndrome are varied and many can be attributed to extra-biliary causes, which may be present prior to surgery. Early symptoms may warrant early upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Delayed presentations are more likely to be associated with retained biliary stones. A large proportion of patients will have no cause identified. Treatment options for this latter group are limited. 相似文献8.

Background context
Protein biomarkers associated with lumbar disc disease have been studied as diagnostic indicators and therapeutic targets. Recently, a cartilage degradation product, the fibronectin-aggrecan complex (FAC) identified in the epidural space, has been shown to predict response to lumbar epidural steroid injection in patients with radiculopathy from herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP).Purpose
Determine the ability of FAC to predict response to microdiscectomy for patients with radiculopathy due to lumbar disc herniationStudy design/setting
Single-center prospective consecutive cohort study.Patient sample
Patients with radiculopathy from HNP with concordant symptoms to MRI who underwent microdiscectomy.Outcomes measures
Oswestry disability index (ODI) and visual analog scores (VAS) were noted at baseline and at 3-month follow-up. Primary outcome of clinical improvement was defined as patients with both a decrease in VAS of at least 3 points and ODI >20 points.Methods
Intraoperative sampling was done via lavage of the excised fragment by ELISA for presence of FAC. Funding for the ELISA was provided by Cytonics, Inc.Results
Seventy-five patients had full complement of data and were included in this analysis. At 3-month follow-up, 57 (76%) patents were “better.” There was a statistically significant association of the presence of FAC and clinical improvement (p=.017) with an 85% positive predictive value. Receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) curve plotting association of FAC and clinical improvement demonstrates an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.66±0.08 (p=.037). Subset analysis of those with weakness on physical examination (n=48) plotting the association of FAC and improvement shows AUC on ROC of 0.81±0.067 (p=.002).Conclusions
Patients who are “FAC+” are more likely to demonstrate clinical improvement following microdiscectomy. The data suggest that the inflammatory milieu plays a significant role regarding improvement in patients undergoing discectomy for radiculopathy in lumbar HNP, even in those with preoperative weakness. The FAC represents a potential target for treatment in HNP. 相似文献10.

Cross-sectional design.Introduction
This study examined the translated English to Polish version of the Patient-Rated Ulnar Nerve Evaluation (PRUNE) for its internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and construct validity.Methods
During the first assessment validity testing, a total of 39 consecutive patients with cubital tunnel syndrome completed the PRUNE, Michigan Hand Outcome Questionnaire, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire, and Patient Evaluation Measure in conjunction with the grip and key pinch tests and pain score (by Visual Analogue Scale). Cronbach's alpha (CA), intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and the Bland-Altman plot were used to evaluate internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and agreement, respectively. Analysis of variance compared the PRUNE score with the McGowan clinical stages.Results
After a 1-day interval, 19 patients completed the PRUNE for the second time. The total PRUNE score was 44.4 ± 20.4, CA = 0.93, and ICC = 0.921. The total PRUNE score limits of agreement varied from ?9.87 to 7.55 points. PRUNE subscale CA ranged from 0.79 to 092; the ICC varied from 0.738 to 0.911. The construct validity revealed a strong association with Michigan Hand Outcome Questionnaire (R = ?0.83; P < .000), and moderate with Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (R = 0.75; P < .000), Patient Evaluation Measure (R = 0.75; P < .000), and Visual Analogue Scale (R = 0.69; P < .000). The grip and pinch tests had low and no correlation with the total PRUNE score, respectively.Conclusion
The Polish version of PRUNE showed good psychometric properties for use in both clinical and research practice in patients with cubital tunnel syndrome of varying intensity. 相似文献11.

Case series.Introduction
A salvaged limb is one that has undergone a major traumatic injury, followed by repeated surgical attempts in order to avoid amputation. Psychological recovery for individuals with lower extremity limb salvage has been examined in a number of studies. However, psychosocial reactions for individuals with upper extremity (UE) limb salvage are understudied in the literature.Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study was to explore the process of psychosocial adaptation for 3 trauma cases after UE limb salvage.Methods
The Reactions to Impairment and Disability Inventory was used to assess psychosocial adaptation. Physical function outcomes (pain, range of motion, edema, sensation, and dexterity) are presented. The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand measure was used to assess perceived disability. Medical and rehabilitation history are discussed for each case, in order to provide in-depth understanding of the impact of these injuries.Results
Reactions to injury varied across the cases; however, outcomes suggest that psychosocial adaptation may be influenced by the experience of pain, the ability to participate in valued roles and activities, and having a supportive social network.Discussion
For this population, therapists may consider emphasizing pain management, focusing on client-centered goals and interventions, and facilitating peer support. Providers should closely monitor patients for signs of poor adaptation, such as hand-hiding behaviors.Conclusions
This study is among the first to examine psychological outcomes for the UE limb salvage population. Future research would be beneficial to provide deeper understanding of the psychosocial challenges for these individuals. 相似文献12.

Case report.Introduction
Development of extensor tendon adhesions is a common complication after intra-articular metacarpal head fracture. Whenever these adhesions cannot be mobilized by rehabilitation, tenolysis should be considered. However, the decision for tenolysis is often delayed. When the rehabilitation program comes to a plateau and clinical examination may not be sufficient to find out the cause, dynamic ultrasound (US) can show where the gliding mechanism is disrupted and help clinicians to give an accurate decision for determining the next steps.Purpose of the Study
To determine the role of dynamic US during hand rehabilitation.Methods
A 22-year-old woman presented with a fifth metacarpal intra-articular head fracture. Ten days after the surgery (open reduction and internal fixation) the hand rehabilitation program was commenced. After the third week, the metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint range of motion (ROM) gradually diminished. Dynamic US near the level of fifth MP joint revealed diminished extensor tendon excursion and capsular thickening.Results
Considering physical and sonographic findings, surgical tenolysis and capsular release was planned. After surgery, the DIP, PIP and MP joints reached full passive ROM.Conclusion(s)
Ultrasound is a quick and practical way to diagnose tendon adhesions. With this report, the authors suggest that clinicians may use dynamic US, especially in times when the patient comes to plateau during hand rehabilitation.Level of Evidence

Case series.Introduction
Upper extremity (UE) trauma and subsequent immobilization affects functional performance.Purpose of the Study
Determine the usefulness and feasibility of unilateral hand training (UHT) on improving functional performance in patients with UE trauma.Methods
Nine participants received UHT within 10 days of immobilization. Functional performance, dexterity, grip, and pinch strength were measured at initial and 4-week visits. Qualitative interviews were coded to develop themes.Results
All Jebsen-Taylor hand function test subtests improved from pretest to post-test. Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand scores of all 9 participants improved. Functional performance was more impaired for participants with dominant UE injury. Four themes emerged: participants were forced to alter or avoid most daily activities, had an increased dependency on others, took longer to perform activities, and felt UHT decreased the impact of UE trauma on function.Discussion
Functional performance was impaired for all participants. Participants believed that UHT was useful and contributed to improved function.Conclusion
This case series tracked a comprehensive intervention based on a holistic activities of daily living framework that considered the nuances of individual complexities of immobilization following hand trauma. Knowledge from this study supports an early intervention like UHT to educate clients on effective strategies to improve immediate activities of daily living functioning and potentially prevent longer term impairments. 相似文献15.

Introduction
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) usually affects both sensory and motor function of hands and feet, resulting in impaired skilled hand function (e.g., typing a keyboard). However, quantitative and objective evaluations for this condition have not been established.Purpose of the Study
We evaluated skilled hand function using a kinematic analysis and investigated relationships among hand kinematic function and the clinical sensory and motor features of CIPN.Study Designs
Clinical measurement.Methods
Twelve CIPN patients and 12 age-matched control participants were enrolled. We recorded their reach and grasp movements using a three-dimensional measurement system, and calculated the normalized jerk of these movements as quantitative indexes of skilled hand function. Additionally, we used the number of sequential hand grip–release cycles in 10 seconds as an evaluation of clinical motor function.Results
Our kinematic analyses revealed significant difference in normalized jerk of grasp movement (CIPN: 3.7 ± 0.2, control: 3.4 ± 0.1; P = .005), but this was not the case for reach movement (CIPN: 2.5 ± 0.1, control: 2.5 ± 0.2; P = .43), indicating that the distal part of the forearm is particularly affected in CIPN. Such disturbed grasp movement was directly correlated with poor scores on the hand grip–release test and the sensory tests.Discussion
We revealed deficit impaired hand function objectively and quantitatively in CIPN patients using a kinematic analysis. Further, the hand grip test could represent such kinematic abnormality and could be useful for evaluating skilled hand function of CIPN patients.Conclusions
Our kinematic and clinical measurements objectively and quantitatively evaluate skilled hand function in individuals with CIPN in clinical settings.Level of Evidence

Background
Patients on peritoneal dialysis treatment represent 15% of the global dialysis population. The major complication of peritoneal dialysis is catheter and peritoneal infection. Peritoneal dialysis patients who receive kidney transplants are at increased risk of infection because of immunosuppressive therapy.Aim
The purpose of this study is to show our ideal timing to remove peritoneal catheter after kidney transplant, which gives adequate security on renal function recovery and reduction of septic risk.Method of Study
We analyzed the outcomes of 65 patients on peritoneal dialysis who underwent kidney transplant between 2000 and 2016.Results
In 61 cases there was an immediate graft functional recovery. In 4 cases there was a delayed graft function (DGF), and we performed a hemodialysis with temporary placement of a venous catheter. In all patients we removed peritoneal dialysis catheter 30 to 45 days after transplant. There has been 1 case of catheter infection, which was treated with antibiotic therapy.Discussion
Our average time to remove the peritoneal dialysis catheter was shorter than times in previous studies, between the 30th and 45th postoperative day. In the 4 cases in which there has been a DGF, we performed hemodialysis treatment to avoid, in the immediate postoperative period, direct insults to the peritoneum by local dialysis procedures.Conclusion
Our experience show that the 30th to 45th postoperative day is a good time frame, better yet a good watershed between the safe removal of peritoneal catheter when patients have a stabilized renal function and the possibility of leaving it in situ, to resume peritoneal dialysis in case of persistent DGF. 相似文献17.

Background
Simulation-based training (SBT) for pediatric trauma resuscitation can improve team performance. The purpose of this study was to describe the nationwide trend in SBT use and barriers to SBT implementation.Methods
Trauma centers that participated in ACS TQIP Pediatric in 2016 (N?=?125) were surveyed about SBT use. Center characteristics and reported implementation barriers were compared between centers using and not using SBT.Results
Survey response rate was 75% (94/125) with 78% (73/94) reporting SBT use. The frequency of pediatric SBT use increased from 2014 to 2016 (median 5.5 vs 6.5 annual sessions, p?<?0.01). Funding barriers were negatively associated with number of annual SBT sessions (r?≤??0.34, p?<?0.05). Centers not using SBT reported lack of technical expertise (p?=?0.01) and lack of data supporting SBT (p?=?0.03) as significant barriers.Conclusions
Simulation use increased from 2014 to 2016, but significant barriers to implementation exist. Strategies to share resources and decrease costs may improve usage.Level of evidence

Background
The aim of this study is to validate the Knee Osteoarthritis Grading System (KOGS) of progressive osteoarthritic degeneration for the tri-compartmental knee. This system defines the site and severity of osteoarthritis to determine a specific knee arthroplasty.Methods
The radiographic sequence for KOGS includes standing coronal (anteroposterior), lateral, 30° skyline patella, 15° and 45° Rosenberg and stress views in 20° of flexion. Cohen’s kappa and related agreement statistical methods were used to assess the level of concordance of the 7 evaluators between A and B cohorts for each evaluator and also against the actual arthroplasty used. Sensitivity and specificity was also assessed for the KOGS in identifying true partial knee arthroplasties (PKAs) and total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) as decided from the cohort A evaluations.Results
From a cohort of 330 patients who were included in the study, 71 (22.5%) underwent a TKA procedure, 258 (78.2%) a PKA, and 1 (0.3%) was neither a TKA nor PKA. KOGS was able to identify true PKAs (sensitivity) in the range of 92.2%-98.5% across all the different evaluators. The KOGS method was able to identify a PKA or a TKA with an accuracy ranging from 92% to 98.8% across all different evaluators. The surgical results after 20 months are at least comparable with the expected average in the academic literature.Conclusion
The KOGS classification provides a reliable and accurate tool to assess suitability of an individual patient for undergoing PKA or TKA. 相似文献19.
Background
Smoking is associated with adverse outcomes after total joint arthroplasty (TJA), including periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Although preoperative smoking cessation interventions may help reduce the risk PJI, the short-term cost-effectiveness of these programs remains unclear.Methods
Decision analysis was used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of a preoperative smoking cessation intervention over a 90-day TJA episode of care. Costs and probabilities were derived from literature review and published Medicare data. Thresholds for cost and efficacy of the intervention were determined using sensitivity analysis.Results
In our model, the average 90-day cost was $32 less for patients enrolled in a mandatory smoking cessation intervention ($23,457) compared with patients who were not ($23,489). In sensitivity analyses, the smoking cessation intervention was cost-saving vs no intervention when the short-term cost of PJI was greater than $95,410, the rate of PJI was reduced by at least 25% for former vs current smokers, the cost of the intervention was less than $219, or the success rate of the intervention was greater than 56%.Conclusion
Smoking cessation interventions prior to TJA can increase the value of care and are an important public health initiative. Routine referral to smoking cessation interventions should be considered for smokers indicated for TJA.Level of Evidence
