Outpatient hysterectomy has increased significantly in Ontario from 2010 to 2024, showing favorable 90-day readmission rates, reduced complications, and lower health system costs compared to inpatient procedures.
A Swedish national retrospective study reveals that liver transplantations initiated between 17:00 and 05:59 are linked to significantly increased postoperative complications and healthcare costs, highlighting the need for optimized schedul
A national multipayer analysis demonstrates robotic cholecystectomy offers comparable safety to laparoscopic methods while improving key outcomes versus open surgery, signaling maturation of robotic biliary surgery.
Decompensated cirrhosis markedly elevates mortality, complications, and costs following cardiac surgery. Optimized risk models and tailored management are essential for improved patient outcomes.
Patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) face higher postoperative complications, longer inpatient stays, and increased costs following hysterectomy. This review synthesizes clinical evidence and explores implications for surgical management
Robotic cholecystectomy for complex gallbladder disease reduces postoperative complications and interventions compared to laparoscopic surgery without increasing total costs, suggesting a strategic role for robotic platforms in complex case
The DigiSep trial assessed the impact of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) on sepsis outcomes. While primary endpoint improvement was not significant, secondary analyses revealed benefits in mechanical ventilation duration, shoc
This retrospective study demonstrates that open bedside surgical tracheostomy (OBST) is as safe as operating room tracheostomy (ORST), with similar complication rates and a significant cost reduction, supporting OBST as the preferred approa
One in five UK patients with Rome IV IBS regularly use opioids, associated with worse quality of life, more psychological distress, and increased healthcare costs, highlighting a critical need for opioid stewardship in IBS management.
