Interest is growing within the urological surgery community for objective assessments of technical skill. Surgical video review relies on the use of objective assessment tools to evaluate both global and procedure-specific skill. These evaluations provide structured feedback to surgeons with the aim of improving technique, which has been associated with patient outcomes. Currently, skill assessments can be performed by using expert peer-review, crowdsourcing or computer-based methods. Given the relationship between skill and patient outcomes, surgeons might be required in the future to provide empirical evidence of their technical skill for certification, employment, credentialing and quality improvement. Interventions such as coaching and skills workshops incorporating video review might help surgeons improve their skill, with the ultimate goal of improving patient outcomes.

Background: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is widely used in lung cancer surgery, as this technique causes less pain and faster recovery than open thoracotomy. However, significant postoperative pain persists in a number of patients, often leading to increased opioid use and opioid-related adverse events in addition to prolonged admission times. Perioperatively administered glucocorticoids have been demonstrated effective in reducing pain after other types of surgeries, but the effect in VATS remains unclear.

One-stage versus two-stage thoracoscopic surgery for synchronous bilateral pulmonary nodules: a propensity score-matched analysis.

World J Surg Oncol

January 2025

Department of General Thoracic Surgery, Friendship Hospital, No. 2 Yinghua East Road, Chaoyang District, 100029, Beijing, China.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the surgical efficacy of one-stage and two-stage video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for bilateral multiple pulmonary nodules (BMPNs).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was made of 156 patients, 84 who underwent one-stage and 72 who underwent two-stage VATS for BMPNs at our department between January 2019 and December 2022. Perioperative and long-term outcomes were compared between the two groups using propensity score-matched (PSM) analysis.

BMC Med Educ

January 2025

Department of Educational Studies, Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences, Ghent University, H. Dunantlaan 2, Ghent, 9000, Belgium.

Background: Video review is a feasible, commonly used learning tool, but current literature lacks a comprehensive review of its impact on learning in postgraduate medical education. This systematic review aims at examining the learning effect of video review of resident performance in clinical practice during postgraduate medical education.

Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted from May 2023 to July 2023 with an update on 12/12/2023.
