Background: Damage-control surgery for trauma and intra-abdominal catastrophe is associated with a high rate of morbidities and postoperative complications. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of patients undergoing early complex abdominal wall reconstruction (e-CAWR) in acute settings versus those undergoing delayed complex abdominal wall reconstruction (d-CAWR).
Method: This study was a pooled analysis derived from the retrospective and prospective database between the years 2013 and 2019.
Article Synopsis
- Hospital readmissions are a key indicator of inadequate healthcare, and this study examines factors influencing 30-day and 90-day readmissions after complex abdominal wall reconstruction (CAWR).
- Out of 232 patients studied, the overall readmission rate was 16.8%, with 30-day and 90-day rates at 11.3% and 13.3%, respectively; surgical complications like infections were notably higher in readmitted patients.
- Key predictors of readmission included higher comprehensive complication index scores, previous pelvic surgeries, and specific conditions like enterocutaneous fistulas, with certain complications linked to both 30-day and 90-day readmissions.
Introduction: The successful application of endovascular techniques for the elective repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) has stimulated a strong interest in their possible use in dealing with a long-standing surgical challenge: the ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (RAAA). The use of a conventional open procedure to repair ruptured aneurysms is associated with a high operative mortality of 45% to 50%. In this study, we evaluated the current frequency of endovascular repair of RAAAs in four large states and the impact of this technique on patient outcome.

Methods: We reviewed the ICD-9 codes for all vascular procedures using the National Hospital Discharge Survey of non-federal United States hospitals (1980-2000).
Results: The number of vascular procedures performed in this country increased from 412,557 in 1980 to 801,537 in 2000 (per capita increase of >50%).
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare survival and outcomes of endovascular versus open repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) in New York State (NYS).
Methods: We used the NYS discharge dataset Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) to analyze the outcomes of elective admission for nonruptured (International Classification of Diseases-9th revision [ICD-9] 441.4) open aneurysm repair (38.
