Abdominal Transplant Surgeons: The Lack of Female Surgeons and People From Underrepresented Racial and Ethnic Minority Groups in Academic and Clinical Leadership.

Objectives: The demographic disparities among surgeons in academic leadership positions is well documented. We aimed to characterize the present demographic details of abdominal transplant surgeons who have achieved academic and clinical leadership positions.

Materials And Methods: We reviewed the 2022-2023 American Society of Transplant Surgeons membership registry to identify 1007 active abdominal transplant surgeons.

Outcomes of Diced Cartilage Dorsal Augmentation in Dorsal Aesthetic Deformities.

To investigate the effectiveness of diced cartilage graft for dorsal augmentation in rhinoplasty. In a retrospective study, patients who underwent rhinoplasty with dorsal augmentation using diced cartilage graft from June 2017 to December 2021 were identified. Patients with complete preoperative and at least one postoperative Standardized Cosmesis and Health Nasal Outcomes Survey-Cosmesis (SCHNOS-C) and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores were included in the study.

Estimation of surgeons' ergonomic dynamics with a structured light system during endoscopic surgery.

Background: The purpose of this study was to use motion capture to collect body posture information during simulated endoscopic sinus surgery interventions performed by both specialists and residents in standing and sitting positions and to analyze that information with the validated Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) tool, which allows calculation of a risk index of musculoskeletal overload.

Methods: Bilateral endoscopic sinus surgery was performed in 5 cadaver heads by 2 residents, and 4 practicing rhinologists. Musculoskeletal symptoms were evaluated before and after the dissection.
