Surgical site infection ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/zn… 🧼 Surgical site infections (SSI) occur within 30 days after surgery (or up to 1 year with prosthetic material) and range from superficial wound infection to deep or organ/space abscesses 🏥 In Europe, SSIs account for ~16% of healthcare-associated infections and are linked to a 2–11× increase in postoperative mortality, longer hospital stay, and higher costs ⚠️ Risk is multifactorial: procedure-related (clean ~2% vs contaminated >10%, highest in colorectal surgery), patient-related (diabetes, obesity, smoking, immunosuppression), and surgical technique 🦠 Most SSIs are caused by Gram-positive cocci (~54%), while Gram-negative Enterobacterales (~31%) dominate in abdominal and colorectal procedures ✅ Prevention and management rely on timely antibiotic prophylaxis, meticulous surgical technique, early diagnosis, and prompt source control, supported by hospital surveillance and feedback programs Work by María Sánchez-Rodríguez, Carlos Pastor, Patricia Tejedor #SoMe4Surgery #MedTwitter #SurgEd #Surgery @RCPSGTrainees @aecirujanos @SEIQuirurgica @iss_sic #MedicalTechniques @BJSAcademy @young_bjs @BjsOpen @evanscolorectal @robhinchliffe1 @bplwijn @MalinASund @nfmkok @TejedorPat @paulo_sutt @PVaughanShaw @JJEarnshaw @juliomayol @ksoreide #some4hpb #some4tpl @DPCG_official @pancreatitis_nl @PancreasClub #PancreasClub2023 #PancreaticCancer #Pancreatitis #HCC @PanCAN #PanCANawareness @EurPancClub @P_C_E_ @dice_europe #PancreaticCancer #cholangiocarcinoma #colorectalsurgery #StepUp4CRC @FightCRC @ACPGBI #ERAS @dice_europe #Crohn #proctology @Dukes_Club @ACPGBI_EduTrain @AECP_FAECP @PelvExGroup @escp_tweets @YouESCP #TeachMeColoproctology #Some4COLoprocto @cpastorid @MerySanchezRo

Robotic-assisted rectal cancer surgery is associated with superior short- and long-term outcomes, a large-scale study finds.📈 Compared to open and laparoscopic procedures, robot-assisted surgery had the lowest complication and mortality rates, the shortest hospital stays, and the highest 5-year overall survival and relapse-free survival.🇯🇵 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ag… #colorectalresearch #colorectalsurgery #AGSurg #SoMe4Surgery @SWexner @juliomayol

Surgical resection of para-aortic lymph node metastasis (PALNM) from colorectal cancer significantly improves patient survival, according to a new study.🇯🇵 The 3- and 5-year overall survival rates were significantly higher in patients who underwent surgical resection compared to those who received chemotherapy alone.📈 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ag… #colorectalresearch #colorectalsurgery #AGSurg

Surgeons report neck, shoulder & back pain at rates comparable to apprentice construction workers—using the same MSK questionnaire. This isn’t “normal discomfort.” It’s occupational risk. Ergonomics = surgeon health + career longevity. @AmCollSurgeons #SurgicalErgonomics

Predictive accuracy of surgeon gestalt for adverse postoperative outcomes: systematic review ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/zn… In this systematic review, the predictive accuracy of surgeon gestalt for adverse postoperative events is explored Surgeons consistently overestimate mortality risk, but have good overall predictive accuracy Surgeon intuition is generally outperformed by systematic scoring tools Work by Jun J Yang , Samuel J Mullan , Tahmid M Rayhan , Ciaran K S S Sandhu , Anshu N Ramaiya , Carl J Heneghan #SoMe4Surgery #MedTwitter #SurgEd #Surgery @RCPSGTrainees @aecirujanos @SEIQuirurgica @iss_sic #MedicalTechniques @BJSAcademy @young_bjs @BJSOpen @des_winter @evanscolorectal @robhinchliffe1 @bplwijn @MalinASund @nfmkok @TejedorPat @paulo_sutt @PVaughanShaw @JJEarnshaw @juliomayol @ksoreide #some4hpb #some4tpl @DPCG_official @pancreatitis_nl @PancreasClub #PancreasClub2023 #PancreaticCancer #Pancreatitis #HCC @PanCAN #PanCANawareness @EurPancClub @P_C_E_ @dice_europe #PancreaticCancer #cholangiocarcinoma #colorectalsurgery #StepUp4CRC @FightCRC @ACPGBI #ERAS @dice_europe #Crohn #proctology @Dukes_Club @ACPGBI_EduTrain @AECP_FAECP @PelvExGroup @escp_tweets @YouESCP #TeachMeColoproctology #Some4COLoprocto

Bridging the gap: exposing the hidden challenges towards adoption of artificial intelligence in surgery ➡️doi.org/10.1093/bjs/zn… 🎯 Highlights structural barriers to adopting artificial intelligence in surgery and suggests a roadmap for collaboration between surgeons and data scientists; offers a global perspective. 🧮 Perspective: narrative analysis (2024–2025) using field examples. Outcomes include: research community linkage, benchmark standardisation, reproducibility, interdisciplinary engagement, and proposed actions. 📊 Research community linkage: limited; Benchmark standardisation: lacking; Reproducibility: constrained; Interdisciplinary engagement: low (MICCAI 2024 medical-institution attendees 14.9%); Calls for shared tasks, open challenges, and transparent code/data. 💡 The authors argue that surgical AI will stagnate without shared benchmarks and increased cross-disciplinary collaboration. They suggest adapting lessons from established AI benchmarks, organising ethically approved open challenges, promoting transparency in data and code to enhance reproducibility, and developing ongoing educational programmes so that clinical needs guide technological development rather than the other way around.
