Journal ArticleDOI
The Actual Operative Costs of Liver Transplantation and Normothermic Machine Perfusion in a Canadian Setting
TL;DR: Although the cost per run of NMP is substantial, NMP could potentially lead to cost savings by decreasing night-time salary premiums, complications, and patient length of stay.
Journal ArticleDOI
'Sandwich' technique in the treatment of large and complex incisional hernias.
TL;DR: The objective was to determine biologic mesh practice patterns of reconstructive surgeons with regard to indications, most appropriate technique, choice of prosthetics and experience with complications in order to work those hernias out.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of US and CT on the effect on negative appendectomy and appendiceal perforation in adolescents and adults: A post-hoc analysis using propensity-score methods.
Jaebong Lee,Yousun Ko,Soyeon Ahn,Ji Hoon Park,Hwa Jung Kim,Seung Sik Hwang,Kyoung Ho Lee,Kyoung Ho Lee +7 more
TL;DR: To retrospectively compare ultrasound (US) and CT as the preoperative first‐line imaging modality in terms of negative appendectomy rate (NAR) and appendiceal perforation rate (APR) in adolescents and adults with suspected appendicitis, is compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical thinking in the operating theatre
TL;DR: Methods used to study critical thinking of operating theatre team members, such as surgeons and anaesthetists, are examined, which suggest that critical thinking in the operating theatre involves not only decision making, as one would expect, but also situation awareness, risk assessment and communication skills.

Frequency of abdominal wall hernias: is classical teaching out of date?
TL;DR: The epidemiology of hernia repair (retrospective review) over 30 years is investigated to determine whether the relative frequencies of hernias are evolving and contrasts with hernia incidence figures quoted in common reference books.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Pancreas
TL;DR: Although tumor origin and molecular pathogenesis remain poorly understood, recently established grading and staging systems facilitate patient risk stratification, and thereby directly impact clinical decision making, surgery remains the only curative treatment for early-stage disease.

Treatment of malignant pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma with cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and dacarbazine: recommendation from a 22-year follow-up of 18 patients.
Hui Huang,Jame Abraham,Elizabeth Hung,Steven D. Averbuch,Maria J. Merino,Seth M. Steinberg,Karel Pacak,Tito Fojo +7 more
TL;DR: A long‐term follow‐up was conducted of 18 patients with a diagnosis of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma treated with a combination of cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and dacarbazine (CVD).
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammatory mechanisms contributing to pancreatic cancer development.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that similar inflammatory components and downstream effectors are present in CP and pancreatic cancers, and suggest that a common pathway for pancreatic cancer development may be through a chronic inflammatory process including stroma formation.
