Article Abstract
The National Surgical Quality Program (NSQIP) Transplant was designed by transplant surgeons from the ground up to track posttransplant outcomes beyond basic recipient and graft survival. After an initial pilot phase, the program has expanded to 29 participating sites and enrolled more than 4300 recipient-donor pairs into the database, including 2876 complete kidney transplant cases. In this analysis, surgical site infection (SSI), urinary tract infection (UTI), and reoperation/intervention were evaluated for kidney transplant recipients. We observed impressive variation in the crude incidence between sites for SSI (0%-17%), UTI (0%-14%), and reoperation/intervention (0%-25%). After adjustment for donor and recipient factors, 2 sites were outliers with respect to their incidence of UTI. For the first time, the field of transplantation has data that demonstrate variation in kidney recipient surgical outcomes between sites. More importantly, NSQIP Transplant provides a powerful platform to improve care beyond basic patient and graft survival.

Surgical Opioid Stewardship: From the Epidemic Through the Pandemic and Beyond.
J Am Coll Surg
January 2025
Surgical Oncology, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, NJ.
Background: In response to the opioid epidemic, prescribing guidelines and statewide surgical opioid management programs were initiated in 2018-19. This analysis aims to document the sustainability of a regional opioid stewardship consortium through the pandemic and beyond.
Study Design: From September 2019 through August 2023, 15 NSQIP hospitals in two states gathered opioid-specific variables on patients undergoing 12 procedures.
Assessing the value of deep neural networks for postoperative complication prediction in pancreaticoduodenectomy patients.
PLoS One
January 2025

Introduction: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is associated with a high risk of postoperative complications (PoCs) and risk prediction of these is therefore critical for optimal treatment planning. We hypothesize that novel deep learning network approaches through transfer learning may be superior to legacy approaches for PoC risk prediction in the PDAC surgical setting.
Methods: Data from the US National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) 2002-2018 were used, with a total of 5,881,881 million patients, including 31,728 PD patients.
Predictors, Trends, and Outcomes of Parathyroid Autotransplantation in Pediatric Total Thyroidectomy.

Article Synopsis
- The study looks at trends and outcomes of parathyroid autotransplantation (PTAT) in children undergoing total thyroidectomy, analyzing data from a surgical database.
- Of the 2,444 patients analyzed, a small percentage underwent PTAT, with the procedure being performed more frequently by adult subspecialists and in cases with more extensive lymph node removal.
- The overall use of PTAT declined over the study period, and no significant differences in early postoperative complications or hospital stays were noted between those who had PTAT and those who did not.

The role of inflammation in the bile duct injury has been suggested. Regarding, this study aims to determine the relationship between preoperative White Blood Cell count (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (pNLR) with post-operative short- and long-term outcomes in patients undergoing a hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) for a bile duct injury (BDI) repair. This prospective longitudinal study (R-2022-3001-127) enrolled fifty patients.
