Objective: To characterize early physiologic stresses imposed by surgery by applying metabolomic analyses to deeply phenotype pre- and postoperative plasma and urine of patients undergoing elective surgical procedures.
Background: Patients experience perioperative stress through depletion of metabolic fuels. Bowel stasis or injury might allow more microbiome-derived uremic toxins to enter the blood, while the liver and kidney are simultaneously clearing analgesic and anesthetic drugs.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to conduct a follow up analysis comparing operational and quality measures of the pre-residency period with those of a mature program comprised of a full cohort of 15 residents, with 3 residents in each post graduate year (PGY) 1-5.
Design: A retrospective review of 25,900 surgeries performed by the general, breast, plastics, thoracic, and vascular services at a single regional medical center was performed and surgeries were classified as pre-residency period and residency period. Independent variables included patient demographics, comorbidity burden, emergency department arrivals, and outcomes of interest included daily elective case volume, the percent of cases performed during 'off-hours' (defined as 7p-7a), operating room (OR) and procedure minutes, average length of stay (LOS), average total hospital charges, rates of 30-day return to OR (ROR), ED visits, and readmissions, and patient satisfaction.

Many patients undergo exploration according to the conventional investigation; many are treated conservatively and discharged.
