Comparison of Partial Endoscopic vs Surgical Fundoplication after Hiatal Hernia Repair.
J Am Coll Surg
January 2025
Prisma Health Upstate Department of Surgery, Greenville, SC.
Background: The concomitant hiatal hernia repair with endoscopic fundoplication (c-TIF) is a novel anti-reflux procedure that addresses the hiatus and the gastro-esophageal flap valve for surgical candidates with GERD. We aim to compare the outcomes of a hiatal hernia repair with endoscopic fundoplication (TIF) vs surgical partial fundoplication (anterior and posterior) with regards to quality-of-life scores at 12 months after surgery.
Study Design: Following IRB approval, a prospectively maintained anti-reflux database was retrospectively reviewed to identify patients who underwent a c-TIF procedure or a surgical hiatal hernia repair with partial fundoplication.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) represent a rare postoperative complication following thyroidectomy. This study aimed to assess the clinicodemographic factors associated with the development of UTIs and subsequent outcomes among patients undergoing thyroidectomy. This retrospective study used the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database to analyze patients who underwent thyroidectomy from 2005 to 2019.

Background: An effective prognostic nomogram to predict the prognosis for supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) patients is lacking.

Optimising reduction and implant positioning in intertrochanteric fracture treatment: An evaluation of the effects of a structured educational program.
Injury
January 2025
Crossklinik, Basel, Switzerland.
Introduction: Intertrochanteric fractures are common in older adults and pose significant challenges in terms of morbidity and mortality. Accurate reduction and optimal implant positioning during operative stabilisation of these fractures reduce the rates of complications and reoperations while improving functional outcomes in this population. This study aimed to assess the effects of a structured educational intervention on the radiographic outcomes, reduction quality, and revision rates of intertrochanteric fractures.

Article Synopsis
- Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (MBS) for adolescents has been made more accessible due to recent policy changes, but challenges remain, particularly for diverse populations.
- A study from 2017-2022 revealed that about 15%-20% of MBS cases in the U.S. involved adolescents, predominantly females and white patients with an average age of 16.1 years.
- Despite a decline in cases during COVID-19, the volume rebounded, with an increase in sleeve gastrectomy and robotic-assisted surgeries, while overall complication rates remained low at 2.9%.
