Bile duct injuries: a contemporary survey of surgeon attitudes and experiences.

Surgical Endoscopy
Reid FletcherSteven Bonomo

Abstract

The incidence of bile duct injury (BDI) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy has not changed significantly in the past 2 decades despite increased operative experience and technical refinement. We sought to evaluate surgeon-specific factors associated with BDI and to assess how surgeons manage injuries. An online survey was sent to surgeons belonging to the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons via e-mail. Survey items included personal experience with BDI and how injuries were addressed. Statistical analysis was performed to identify factors associated with BDI. The survey was sent to 3411 surgeons with 559 complete responses (16.5%). The mean age of respondents was 48.7 years with an average time in practice of 16.1 years. Most respondents (61.2%) had fellowship training. Forty-seven percent of surgeons surveyed experienced a BDI in their career with 17.1% of surgeons experiencing multiple BDIs. The majority of BDIs were identified in the operating room (64.5%); most injuries (66.9%) were repaired immediately. When repair was undertaken immediately, 77.4% of these repairs were performed in an open technique. A majority of surgeons (57.7%) felt that BDIs could theoretically be repaired laparoscopically an...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
