Resident level is associated with operative time in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Surg Pract Sci

June 2024

Department of Health Policy and Management, Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, Arkansas, USA, 72205.

Background: While previous literature has shown that resident involvement increases operative time, the influence of resident involvement on operative time is generally not considered in current methods of case time predictions or operating room planning. Furthermore, evidence of prolonged case times based on the level of the assisting resident is yet scarce. We hypothesized that operative time would increase with the post-graduate year of assisting residents as they gain more autonomy in the operating room.

Endovascular repair versus surgery for mycotic aneurysm a retrospective study with Bayesian inference.

Surg Pract Sci

September 2022

Department of Research Support, Center for Clinical Research and Innovation, Kobe City Medical Center, General Hospital, Japan.

Introduction: Because mycotic aneurysm is a rare infection, the effectiveness of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) and thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for mycotic aneurysm is difficult to evaluate.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study comparing EVAR/TEVAR and surgical repair (SR), using both Cox proportional regression analysis and Bayesian inference for patients with mycotic aneurysm diagnosed between January 2008 and December 2015.

Results: A total of 38 patients with mycotic aneurysm were included in the study.
