Background: There are currently no courses that focus specifically on surgical education research. A needs assessment of surgical educators is required to best design these courses.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey-based study on all faculty members of the Association for Surgical Education was done to determine their education research needs.
Results: The overall response rate was 15% and the majority of the 78 respondents were physicians (63%) in their mid- to late career stage (65%). Participants thought research topics should be taught at an advanced level in a workshop format. Senior educators were less interested than junior educators in learning to create conceptual frameworks (p = 0.038) and presenting their research at national meetings (p = 0.014).
Conclusions: Surgical educators desire more training in education research techniques that are taught in a workshop format at a national surgical education meeting. These workshops may lay the groundwork for a nationally recognized certificate in surgical education research.

The Impact of Learning Curve on Robotic Living Donor Nephrectomy Outcomes: Retrospective Analysis.
Int J Med Robot
February 2025
Department of Surgery, Division of Transplantation, SUNY Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, New York, USA.
Background: We aimed to investigate the outcome of patients after RDN at different time points.
Methods: We studied the outcomes of 77 living robotic living donor nephrectomies (RDN). Donors were separated into three groups: learning curve period (LCP), stabilisation period (SP), and teaching period (TP).
The Impact of an Early Mobility Protocol on Recovery Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Abdominal Surgeries.
Cureus
December 2024
Department of Physiology, Government Erode Medical College, Perundurai, IND.
Background: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), early mobilization is a critical component of healthcare that significantly impacts patient recovery and outcomes. Despite evidence supporting the benefits of early mobilization for abdominal surgery patients, standardized protocols remain scarce across many healthcare environments.
Aim: This study evaluates the feasibility and impact of an early mobility protocol (EMP) on improvement in mobility and patient satisfaction in abdominal surgery patients.
Improving Adherence to National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Guidelines for the Use of Tranexamic Acid in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Quality Improvement Initiative.
Cureus
December 2024
Orthopaedics, The Royal Wolverhampton National Health Service (NHS) Trust, Wolverhampton, GBR.
Background: Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a pharmacological agent used in reducing blood loss during orthopaedic surgeries, including total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Despite its proven efficacy and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines recommending combined topical and intravenous administration, compliance in clinical practice often lags.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and improve adherence to NICE guidelines for TXA use during TKA through a quality improvement initiative.
A Comparative Study Between Posterolateral Lumbar Fusion and Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion for Degenerative Lumbar Spondylolisthesis.
Cureus
December 2024
Department of Orthopedics, Sri Devaraj Urs Academy of Higher Education and Research, Kolar, IND.
Introduction Degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS) is a degenerative condition characterized by subluxation of one vertebral body anterior to the adjacent inferior vertebral body with an intact pars. Conservative treatment approaches, such as steroid injections and physical therapy, may work well at first, but in resistant situations, surgery is frequently necessary. Posterolateral lumbar fusion (PLF) has been widely used, but transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) offers theoretical advantages such as improved alignment and enhanced fusion rates.

Department of Breast Surgery and Oncology, The Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.
Globally, breast cancer represents the most common cancer and the primary cause of death by cancer in women. Lipids are crucial in human physiology, serving as vital energy reserves, structural elements of biological membranes, and essential signaling molecules. The metabolic reprogramming of lipid pathways has emerged as a critical factor in breast cancer progression, drug resistance, and patient prognosis.
