A retrospective analysis of intra- and postoperative complications with special regard to infections should give information about the success rate of our antiseptic treatment procedure when removing third molars. 3,980 third molars were surgically removed between July 1, 1992 and June 30, 1999. Dates were sampled from the patient medical histories (963 men, 935 women) and statistically analyzed. Intraoral complications arose in 188 cases: 153 perforations (3.8%) of the maxillary sinus and additional 35 complications (0.9%) arose from ruptured tuber maxillae, intraoperative bleedings, dislocations of teeth into the maxillary sinus and primary not removable root fragments. In 159 cases there were postoperative complications: 102 common simple infections were mainly respresented (2.6%). Persistent oroantral fistulae, odontogenous sinusitis, sensitivity disturbances, mandibular fractures, after-bleedings and osteomyelitis had to be treated postoperatively in 1.4%. Further a significant correlation between smoking and pericoronal infection (p = 0.0001 regio 38 / p = 0.012 regio 48) was identifiable. Based on our results we recommend to remove third molars for prophylactic reasons before the age of 25 because the intra- and postoperative complications will rise significantly afterwards.

Impact of Frailty on Surgical Outcomes of Patients With Cushing Disease Using the Multicenter Registry of Adenomas of the Pituitary and Related Disorders Registry.
Neurosurgery
February 2025
Global Neurosciences Institute, Philadelphia , Pennsylvania , USA.
Background And Objectives: Despite growing interest in how patient frailty affects outcomes (eg, in neuro-oncology), its role after transsphenoidal surgery for Cushing disease (CD) remains unclear. We evaluated the effect of frailty on CD outcomes using the Registry of Adenomas of the Pituitary and Related Disorders (RAPID) data set from a collaboration of US academic pituitary centers.
Methods: Data on consecutive surgically treated patients with CD (2011-2023) were compiled using the 11-factor modified frailty index.
Association Between Surgeon Stress and Major Surgical Complications.
JAMA Surg
January 2025
Center for Surgery and Public Health, Department of Surgery, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.
Importance: Surgeon stress can influence technical and nontechnical skills, but the consequences for patient outcomes remain unknown.
Objective: To investigate whether surgeon physiological stress, as assessed by sympathovagal balance, is associated with postoperative complications.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This multicenter prospective cohort study included 14 surgical departments involving 7 specialties within 4 university hospitals in Lyon, France.
Outcomes and complications of vertebral body tethering by patient gender.
Spine Deform
January 2025
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, 200 First Street S.W, Rochester, MN, 55906, USA.
Purpose: Non-fusion surgical options for pediatric scoliosis management such as vertebral body tethering (VBT) offer an alternative to spinal fusion. With this study, we aim to evaluate the postoperative outcomes in boys versus girls who have undergone VBT. Our hypothesis is that girls and boys will have similar outcomes by 2-year follow-up.

Hernia
January 2025
Department of Clinical Science and Education Södersjukhuset, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate risk factors for postoperative pain and nausea after open repair for primary ventral hernias.
Method: A population-based registry study was conducted based on data assembled from the Swedish national ventral hernia repair register between January 2016 and December 2021and cross-matched with the Swedish perioperative register.
Results: Altogether 2064 open ventral hernia repairs were registered, including 816 (39.
Purpose Of Review: This review summarizes the current literature on primary graft dysfunction highlighting the current definition, reviewing epidemiology, and describing donor, recipient, and perioperative risk factors in the contemporary era.
Recent Findings: PGD, in its most severe form, complicates 8% of heart transplants and portends a 1-year mortality of close to 40%. PGD is multifactorial and heterogeneous with contributions from donor and recipient risk as well as organ recovery and preservation modalities.
