An Orthopaedic Surgeon's Assistant has been part of the orthopaedic surgical team at Hastings since 1983. Having a suitably trained person in post ensures continuity and stability and enhances the treatment of patients, the performance of the department and the training offered to Higher Surgical Trainees. Discussion includes the value of such a role, other orthopaedic models and the need for a nationally accredited training scheme and qualification.

Compared with video-assisted thoracic surgery, robotic surgery may be particularly useful for reconstructive procedures such as sleeve lobectomy. However, specific training for robot-specific tricks and pitfalls is warranted. Using running suture with a short double-armed suture, we have demonstrated the feasibility of simulating robotic sleeve resection with a previously developed 3-dimensional operable airway model.

Background: Small nodules and ground-glass opacities can present a challenge when surgeons rely on direct visualization or digital palpation. Preoperative localization improves nodule detection. We aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) nodulectomy without intraoperative fluoroscopy after computed tomography (CT)-guided microcoil localization of peripheral pulmonary nodules.

Background: Robot-assisted vitreoretinal surgery makes it easier for the surgeons to perform precise and dexterous manipulations required in vitreoretinal procedures.
Methods: We systematically evaluated manual surgery, conventional two-hand teleoperation, a novel one-hand teleoperation, and automation in a needle positioning task using a realistic surgical eye model, measuring the expert surgeon's performances and the novice's learning curves.
Results: The proposed one-hand teleoperation improved the positioning accuracy of expert surgeons , enabled novices to achieve a consistent accuracy more quickly , decreased the novice's workload more quickly , and made it easier for novices to learn to conduct the task quickly .

Breastfeeding (BF) is vital for maternal and infant health, yet post-hospital discharge support remains a challenge. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides BF peer counseling prenatally and up to 1-year postpartum among low-income women in the United States. The Lactation Advice Through Texting Can Help (LATCH) intervention is an evidence-based two-way text messaging intervention that provides BF education and support in the WIC peer counseling program.
