Video-assessment of Surgical Performance in Robotic Gastro-enterostomy During Pancreatoduodenectomy: Evaluating the Learning Curve and Risk of Delayed Gastric Emptying.

Objective: The aim of this study is to identify learning curves for robotic gastro-enterostomy (RGE) during RPD and the predictive value of the objective structured assessment of technical skills (OSATS) score for DGE according to the Birkmeyer et al and UPMC method.

Summary Of Background Data: In some series, robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) has been associated with increased risk of delayed gastric emptying (DGE). It is unclear whether this is attributable to learning curve.

Video Grading of Bile Duct Anastomoses During Robotic Pancreatoduodenectomy Predicts Bile Leak and Identifies the Learning Curve: A Multicenter Study.

Objective: To determine if video grading using Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) could estimate the risk of postoperative bile leak (BL) after robotic pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) and to identify a learning curve effect.

Summary Background Data: The hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) bile leak rate after RPD is rather high with 10% and may be improved by structured training and skills. Robotic HJ therefore requires confirmation of adequate performance.

Root-cause analysis of mortality after pancreatic resection in a nationwide cohort.

Background: This study evaluates leading causes of in-hospital mortality after pancreatic resection nationwide to determine areas for improvement.

Methods: This observational cohort study included all in-hospital mortality after pancreatic resection in the Netherlands (2014-2019). Each fatality was considered to be caused by local complications (i.

Long-term outcomes after postponing surgery to optimise patients with acute right-sided obstructing colon cancer.

Aim: To retrospectively analyse the short- and long-term oncological, morbidity and mortality outcomes in patients diagnosed with acute right-sided obstructing colon cancer. Patients who underwent pre-optimisation prior to the oncological resection were compared to patients who did not undergo pre-optimisation.

Methods: All consecutive patients with right-sided obstructing colon cancer, either with a high clinical suspicion or confirmed diagnosis by histological analysis, who underwent curative-intent treatment between March 2013 and December 2020 were included.

Stickiness of 7 types of iodinated contrast media used during interventional radiology and interventional cardiology procedures.

Introduction: During Interventional Cardiology (IC) and Interventional Radiology (IR) procedures operators' gloves, guide wires and catheters may stick together due to the inherent stickiness of Iodine Containing Contrast Media (ICCM). This may result in displacement of materials, compromising technical success. In this study we compare the stickiness of seven frequently used types of ICCM.
