Article Synopsis
- Surgeons face a choice between single-stage or delayed repair for contaminated ventral hernias, and this study compares outcomes of both methods regarding wound complications, hernia recurrence, and quality of life.
- Data was analyzed from patients who had abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR) with synthetic mesh from January 2014 to August 2023, assessing outcomes for those who had delayed and single-staged repairs.
- Findings showed that both groups had similar rates of wound complications, reoperations, and hernia recurrence, suggesting that either repair method might be equally effective in this context.
Background: Gender representation trends at the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) Annual Meetings and the effect of the 2018 'We R SAGES' initiatives are unknown. We assessed gender trends in oral presentations at the SAGES Annual Meeting between 2012 and 2022 with a focus on assessing the impact of the 2018 initiatives.
Methods: Abstracts selected for oral presentations from 2012 to 2022 were reviewed for presenter and first, second, and senior author gender.
Introduction: Collecting accurate operative details remains a limitation of surgical research. Surgeon-entered data in clinical registries offers one solution, but natural language processing (NLP) has emerged as a modality for automating manual chart review (MCR). This study aims to compare the accuracy and efficiency of NLP and MCR with a surgeon-entered, prospective registry data in determining the rate of gross bile spillage (GBS) during cholecystectomy.

Methods: All adults who underwent splenectomy for primary or secondary AIHA at a single center (2004-2018) were retrospectively reviewed. Short-term response was determined at 30-day postoperatively and long-term at one year.
Background: There has been increasing media coverage regarding the controversy of using mesh in various operations. At this time, there are no published studies evaluating the potential influence of this controversy on patients' perceptions. Therefore, our study aimed to assess patient perceptions of hernia repair surgery with mesh as well as factors that may influence patient opinions.
