TL;DR: EGS quality improvement program methodology that incorporates AAST grade, age, comorbidities, and physiologic status may be used for measuring quality of EGS care.

TL;DR: The mortality in isolated pancreatic trauma is low, even in severe injuries, and nonoperatively management of minor pancreatic injuries is associated with lower mortality and shorter hospital stay than operative management, however, in severe trauma, nonoperative management was associated with higher mortality and longer hospital stay more than definitive operative management.

TL;DR: Increasing ambient temperature to levels advocated for prevention of intraoperative hypothermia does not greatly decrease technical performance in short operative tasks, however, surgeons do report increased perceptions of distraction and physical demand.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the survival rate of isolated severe TBI patients who required an emergent neurosurgical intervention could be time dependent and might benefit from expedited process (computed tomographic scan, neuros surgical consultation, etc.) to shorten the time to surgical intervention.

TL;DR: Laparoscopic repair of large hiatal hernia is effective and durable and Crura reinforcement with a resorbable synthetic mesh is safe and may protect from early anatomical recurrence.
