Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of preoperative anticoagulation (AC) on perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).
- Analyzing data from the 2015-2021 MBSAQIP database, it was found that a small percentage of patients on AC experienced higher rates of complications such as anastomotic leaks and gastrointestinal bleeding compared to those not on AC.
- Overall, the findings suggest that patients on preoperative AC faced increased postoperative complications and longer hospital stays, emphasizing the need for careful management in these cases.
Background: Cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis is a valuable tool for quantifying the learning curve of surgical teams by detecting significant changes in operative length. However, there is limited research evaluating the learning curve of laparoscopic techniques in low-resource settings. The objective of this study is to evaluate the learning curve for laparoscopic appendectomy within a single surgical team in Senegal.
