Reducing Surgical Site Infections With Silver Impregnated Dressings in Lower Extremity Bypass Patients.
J Surg Res
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York; Division of Vascular Surgery, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York.
Introduction: Surgical site infection (SSI) after lower extremity (LE) bypass surgery is associated with longer length of stay, higher hospital cost, increased morbidity, and even graft loss. Silver impregnated dressings have been used by other surgical subspecialties to decrease SSI with reported success. The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) published a national expected rate of 7.

Ann Plast Surg
February 2025
Division of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Department of Surgery, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA.
Background: Red breast syndrome (RBS) has been noted in past literature as a possible complication of implant-based breast reconstruction (IBBR) with the use of acellular dermal matrices (ADMs). Since its first appearance in 2009, RBS has drawn growing medical attention with reported incidence ranging from 7%-9%. There has been a noted decrease in the emergence of RBS despite its inclusion among the analyzed complications in a number of studies.

Ann Plast Surg
February 2025
From the Department of Plastic Surgery, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN.
Background: While there is mounting evidence that closed suction drains are not necessary, there is a paucity of literature to demonstrate that drains are harmful after breast reduction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of drains on postoperative seroma, hematoma, and infection, as well as elucidate any risk factors that may be implicated in the development of these complications.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted of all reduction mammaplasty procedures at our university medical center between 2010-2020.
THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS-NATIONAL SURGICAL QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM CALCULATOR AND SURGICAL APGAR AS PREDICTORS OF POST-CHOLECYSTECTOMY COMPLICATIONS.
Arq Bras Cir Dig
January 2025
Antenor Orrego Private University, School of Medicine, Trujillo, La Libertad, Peru.
Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered safe; however, it is not free from complications, such as bile duct injuries, bleeding, and infection of the surgical site.
Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of two prediction tools, the American College of Surgeons-National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) calculator and the surgical Apgar, in predicting post-cholecystectomy complications.
Methods: A cross-sectional, analytical, and comparative study was conducted on patients over 18 years old diagnosed with acute cholecystitis who underwent open or laparoscopic cholecystectomy at the Regional Teaching Hospital of Trujillo between 2015 and 2019.
Ten Machine Learning Models for Predicting Preoperative and Postoperative Coagulopathy in Patients With Trauma: Multicenter Cohort Study.
J Med Internet Res
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology, Daping Hospital, Army Medical University, Chongqing, China.
Background: Recent research has revealed the potential value of machine learning (ML) models in improving prognostic prediction for patients with trauma. ML can enhance predictions and identify which factors contribute the most to posttraumatic mortality. However, no studies have explored the risk factors, complications, and risk prediction of preoperative and postoperative traumatic coagulopathy (PPTIC) in patients with trauma.
