Background: Across surgery, marginalized individuals experience worse postoperative outcomes. These disparities stem from the interplay between multiple factors.
Methods: We introduced a novel framework to assess the role of barriers to access and bias in surgical complications (the uChicago Health Inequity Classification System, CHI-CS) in the setting of morbidity and mortality conference and assessed impact through pre and post implementation surveys.
Intravascular lithotripsy supported endovascular aneurysm repair.

As the use of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) increases, anatomic constraints remain a challenge. In this case report, we describe the use of intravascular lithotripsy to facilitate EVAR in a patient with a severely calcified and stenotic aortic bifurcation. Future applications of intravascular lithotripsy could help expand the use of EVAR to patients with severely stenotic vasculature and optimize outcomes in the treatment of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms.

- The study aimed to find out why trauma patients get vaccinated against COVID-19 and help them talk about it.
- In Chicago, 58 trauma patients took part, and only 40% were fully vaccinated, with reasons linked to their income and concerns about COVID-19.
- Patients who felt they had faced discrimination in healthcare were less likely to be vaccinated, and some showed interest in getting vaccinated during the study.
Introduction: Studies have suggested that experiences of gender and racial discrimination are widespread among surgeons and surgical residents. This study examines the relationship between experienced microaggressions and traumatic stress.
Methods: A one-time, deidentified survey was distributed over email to academic surgical societies.
