Teaching residents in emergency surgery for acute bowel obstruction-is supervised surgery safe and feasible? A retrospective single-center analysis from a MIS-specialized hospital.

Objective: Emergency surgery for acute bowel obstruction (ABO) is a common and occasionally technically demanding procedure, requiring both surgical skill and strategic planning. The risk entailed in teaching residents during ABO surgery has not been defined or investigated in detail to date. It is the aim of this study to reveal whether surgery for ABO, performed by resident surgeons under supervision, is safe and feasible.

Clinical Impact of ACE-I/ARB for Conservatively Treated Patients with Moderate to Severe Mitral Regurgitation: A Single Center Observational Study.

(1) Background: Mitral regurgitation (MR) is associated with increased mortality and frequent hospital admissions. Although mitral valve intervention offers improved clinical outcomes for MR, it is not feasible in many cases. Moreover, conservative therapeutic opportunities remain limited.

Surgeon and patient-specific factors influencing the decision for minimally invasive or open surgery in acute bowel obstruction: a retrospective single-center analysis.

Purpose: Despite continuous improvement in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and growing evidence for its superiority in procedures in various organ systems, a routinely application in patients with acute bowel obstruction (ABO) cannot be seen to date. Besides very general explanations for this attitude, not much is known about the decision process in a particular patient. This retrospective study aims at investigating surgeon- and patient-specific factors for or against MIS in acute bowel obstruction.
