Personnel working in the operating room complex may be at increased risk for chemical impairment. It has been proposed that this predisposition may be related to the frequency of use of controlled substances and the inadequate control over distribution of these medications, which frequently exists in the operating room. A system utilizing a pharmacy satellite in the operating room has increased the control and accountability of drug administration practices. Several other alternative systems are also reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the establishment of a quality assurance program to monitor compliance routinely.

Clinical Evaluation of the NaviNetics Stereotactic System Using Intraoperative Portable Surgical Imaging System in DBS Surgery.
Oper Neurosurg (Hagerstown)
November 2024
Department of Neurologic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
Background And Objectives: A typical workflow for deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery consists of head frame placement, followed by stereotactic computed tomography (CT) or MRI before surgical implantation of the hardware. At some institutions, this workflow is prolonged when the imaging scanner is located far away from the operating room, thereby increasing workflow times by the addition of transport times. Recently, the intraoperative O-arm has been shown to provide accurate image fusion with preoperative CT or MR imaging, suggesting the possibility of obtaining an intraoperative localization scan and postoperative confirmation.

Background: There is indication that the fallopian tubes might be involved in ovarian cancer pathogenesis and their removal reduces cancer risk. Hence, bilateral salpingectomy during hysterectomy or sterilization, so called opportunistic salpingectomy (OS), is gaining wide acceptance as a preventive strategy. Recently, it was discussed whether implementation of OS at other gynecologic surgery, e.

Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Foch Hospital, School of Medicine, Paris Saclay University, Paris, France.
Importance: Retrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction (R-CPD) is an emerging disorder associated with disabling symptoms. The origin of R-CPD remains unknown.
Objective: To investigate the development of symptoms, diagnosis approach, and therapeutic outcomes of R-CPD in patients treated with in-office botulinum toxin injection (BTI) into the cricopharyngeus.
Undervaluation of Perioperative Work for ACL Reconstruction by Relative Value Scale Update Committee Methodology in a Single Surgeon's Practice.
South Med J
February 2025
the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of the Relative Value Update Committee (RUC) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services current times and work relative value units (wRVUs) for the perioperative work involved in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction by directly timing perioperative tasks as they occur in real time.
Methods: The RUC was contacted to obtain a list of perioperative tasks and the corresponding times allotted for the tasks involved in arthroscopically aided ACL reconstruction (Current Procedural Terminology code 29888). The tasks that occurred both inside and outside the operating room were timed by the attending physician as the event occurred.
Evaluation of machine learning techniques for real-time prediction of implanted lower limb mechanics.

Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics, University of Denver, Denver, CO, United States.
Introduction: Accurate prediction of knee biomechanics during total knee replacement (TKR) surgery is crucial for optimal outcomes. This study investigates the application of machine learning (ML) techniques for real-time prediction of knee joint mechanics.
Methods: A validated finite element (FE) model of the lower limb was used to generate a dataset of knee joint kinematics, kinetics, and contact mechanics.
