It has been demonstrated that publication of individual surgeons' outcomes has improved patient safety and choice. Taking into consideration the lack of negative impact on patient selection and surgical training, it is difficult to argue that surgeons' outcomes should not be openly available in urology.

Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Department of Medicine, McGill University Health Center, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Background: Novel colorectal cancer endoscopic surveillance techniques for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have recently been developed.
Aims: Compare the efficacy of currently available techniques for dysplasia detection in colonic IBD.
Methods: We conducted a systematic literature search from inception to March 2024 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or prospective cohort studies enrolling adults with IBD and having surveillance colonoscopy for dysplasia screening.

Department of Orthopedics, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, People's Republic of China.
Objective: The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures has been increasing annually. However, clinical surgeons have overlooked the impaction fractures of the posterolateral tibial plateau and lateral femoral condyle in patients with ACL ruptures. The purpose of the present study was to report the detection rate of the posterolateral tibial plateau impaction fractures in patients with ACL ruptures, and to evaluate the functional outcomes of patients following ACL reconstruction (ACLR) without treatment of the tibial fractures at a 2-year postoperative follow-up.

Objective: The rising rates of cesarean delivery (CD), which are a leading cause of intra-abdominal adhesions, represent a major concern for maternal health. We aimed to describe early maternal complications following CD in women with severe intra-abdominal adhesions.
Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted at a university-affiliated tertiary medical center (January 2021 and March 2023) in Israel.
Background: Kirschner wire (K-wire) and intramedullary (IM) screw fixation are accepted techniques for treatment of unstable proximal phalanx fractures, but comparative reports are lacking. This study aimed to evaluate early clinical outcomes following treatment with K-wire or IM fixation.
Methods: A retrospective review of all proximal phalanx fractures treated surgically at a single center by multiple surgeons was performed from May 1, 2019 to March 1, 2024.

Department of Cardiac Surgery, Michigan Medicine, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI; The Michigan Society of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons Quality Collaborative, Ann Arbor, MI. Electronic address:
Objective: To compare sex and racial differences in 180-day infection rates after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and aortic valve replacement (AVR).
Methods: A Statewide Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database was linked to Medicare claims data to identify 8,887 beneficiaries undergoing CABG and AVR (surgical or transcatheter) between 2017 and 2021. The primary outcome was the incidence of 180-day infection.
