Study Objective: To identify the risk factors of, and develop a prediction model for, postoperative complications of patients undergoing infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (IAAA) repair.

Design: Retrospective analysis.

Setting: Vascular surgery center of a university hospital.

Measurements: The clinical data of 316 IAAA cases were collected from January 2004 to October 2010 at a single vascular center in China. Postoperative complications were observed within 30 days after surgery. Patient-specific and operation-specific characteristics were analyzed in relation to postoperative complications using multiple logistic regression analysis.

Main Results: Overall incidence of postoperative complications and overall 30-day mortality of IAAA repair patients were 48.4% (153/316) and 8.8% (28/316), respectively. Postoperative complications involved pulmonary (18.9%), cardiac (14.2%), renal (7.3%), gastrointestinal (5.4%), neurologic (1.3%), and hepatic (0.9%) systems, and acute arterial embolism of the lower limb occurred in 1.3% of cases. Risk factors were age [> 65 yrs; odds ratio (OR) 1.6], aortic occlusion time (> 90 min; OR 2.4), history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD; OR 4.4), emergency operation (OR 6.1), and history of cardiac dysfunction (OR 2.1).

Conclusions: A combination of age, COPD, emergency operation, history of cardiac dysfunction and aortic occlusion time has significant impact on postoperative complications after open IAAA repair.

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.

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.
