Article Synopsis
- The minimally invasive surgery (MIS) fellowship, established for about 30 years, has seen growth in both positions and techniques, but surprisingly low publication rates in medical literature regarding these fellowships.
- A thorough review of literature returned only 58 highly relevant articles out of 134 initially identified, making MIS the surgical fellowship with the fewest publications compared to other specialties.
- There's an opportunity to enhance the MIS fellowship experience by encouraging more research and publications, leveraging three decades of clinical experience to improve surgical training and patient outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate surgical outcomes for laparoscopic gastric bypass using a method called risk-adjusted cumulative sum (RA-CUSUM) to identify differences in performance among surgeons over time.
- Data from 1,192 patients treated between 2014 and 2021 were analyzed, revealing that Surgeon A had better-than-expected rates of serious complications and readmissions, whereas Surgeon C had higher-than-expected readmission rates.
- The findings suggest that RA-CUSUM effectively identifies performance variations in real-time, helping to improve surgical quality by enabling earlier interventions based on outcomes.
Introduction: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) fellowship is one of the most popular fellowship programs, but little is known about the individual fellow's clinical experience. Our goal was to determine the differences in case volume and case type in academic and community programs.
Methods: A retrospective review of advanced gastrointestinal, MIS, foregut, or bariatric fellowship cases logged into the Fellowship Council directory of fellowships during the 2020 and 2021 academic years included for analysis.
Background: More patients are turning to the internet for their health information than ever before. This is a growing problem as it is well recognized that medical information on the internet is highly variable. We assessed the quality of information on the internet regarding the anti-reflux procedure, Nissen Fundoplication.
