[Expected effects of the new continuing education regulations in general and visceral surgery : Survey among Bavarian surgeons and residents].

Introduction: The new competency-based continuing education regulations for surgical training (WBO) came into effect in Bavaria in August 2022.

Methods: From May to July 2022, we conducted an anonymized online survey among Bavarian general and visceral surgeons and surgical residents (ÄiW). The aim was to survey expectations of the effects of the new WBO.

It is not NOD2 - genetic and clinical risk factors for postoperative complications following ileocolic resection in Crohn's disease.

Purpose: To evaluate the role of the nucleotide oligomerization domain 2 (NOD2) mutation status and other risk factors for the incidence of postoperative complications after ileocolic resection for Crohn's disease (CD).

Methods: Data of 138 patients consecutively undergoing ileocolic resection for CD at a tertiary academic referral center were retrospectively analyzed including single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data of the NOD2 gene. Uni- and multivariate regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with increased risk of severe postoperative complications.
