Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess whether the Dunning-Kruger effect occurs in surgical residents when performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a porcine model.
Methods: Prospective blinded study, which counted with forty PGY-1 general surgery residents who agreed to participate in the study were blindly recruited to perform a laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a porcine model. At the end of the procedure, the participants assigned a score of 0-10 for their own performance and the video of the operation was independently assessed by 2 experienced laparoscopic surgeons using a validated tool.
Results: Participants were divided into groups of 10 individuals according to objective performance and compared. The group with the worst objective result was inferior to the group with the best objective result (3.77 ± 0.44 vs. 8.1 ± 0.44, p < 0.001), but they were similar in self-perception of performance (5.11 ± 1.69 vs. 6.1 ± 1.79, p = 0.999).
Conclusions: In the studied sample, it was possible to demonstrate the presence of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Background: Modified thoracoabdominal nerves block through perichondrial approach (M-TAPA) is a trunk block that has been gaining attention for managing postoperative pain following abdominal surgeries since its first report in 2019. We conducted a scoping review on M-TAPA, aiming to comprehensively evaluate existing research, identify the gaps in knowledge, and understand the implications of M-TAPA.
Methods: This scoping review was conducted using databases including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, and CINAHL to evaluate the clinical efficacy of M-TAPA on April 19, 2024.
Objective: Limitations are sometimes encountered in the application of laparoscopic cholecystectomy to the treatment of acute cholecystitis. Endoscopic gallbladder stenting (EGBS) has emerged as an additional option. However, the long-term stent patency remains an issue.

Segmental thoracic spinal anesthesia (STSA) is emerging as a promising alternative for high-risk patients undergoing abdominal surgeries, particularly those who are not optimal candidates for general anesthesia (GA). By selectively targeting the thoracic spinal segments responsible for abdominal innervation, STSA aims to provide precise anesthesia and pain management while minimizing systemic side effects. This case series presents the outcomes of several critical patients who underwent abdominal surgeries under STSA.
