Prediction of Readmissions in the German DRG System Based on §21 Datasets.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Hospital readmissions receive increasing interest, since they are burdensome for patients and costly for healthcare providers. For the calculation of reimbursement fees, in Germany there is the German-Diagnosis Related Groups (G-DRG) system. For ever...

Short-term outcomes in patients with colon cancer treated with robotic right colectomy.

Journal of B.U.ON. : official journal of the Balkan Union of Oncology
PURPOSE: To report a single surgeon series of consecutive robotic right colectomies (RRC) performed for non-metastatic right colon cancer.

Does Robotic Beating Heart Connector Totally Endoscopic Coronary Artery Bypass Bridge the Gender Gap in Coronary Bypass Surgery?

Innovations (Philadelphia, Pa.)
OBJECTIVE: Previous studies have shown that women carry a higher risk of morbidity and mortality after coronary artery bypass surgery. We investigated gender differences in risk factors and outcomes in our patients undergoing robotic beating heart co...

Minimally invasive surgical approach versus open procedure for pancreaticoduodenectomy: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Medicine
BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIPD) remains one of the most challenging abdominal procedures. Safety and feasibility remain controversial when comparing MIPD with open pancreaticoduodenectomy (OPD). The aim of this systemati...

Risk Factors for Elevated Preoperative Alkaline Phosphatase in Patients with Refractory Secondary Hyperparathyroidism.

The American surgeon
Elevated preoperative levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in patients with refractory secondary hyperparathyroidism are correlated with postoperative hypocalcemia and mortality. The aim of this study was to identify the predictors of preoperative AL...

Incorporation of Anterior Lumbosacral Spine Exposure into a General Surgical Practice.

The American surgeon
Many spine surgeons enlist the aid of an "access surgeon" to provide anterior exposure of the lumbosacral spine. We proposed that a single, community hospital general surgery practice can successfully develop an anterior spine exposure program with a...

Comparison of two indices to annotate complications after radical nephroureterectomy.

The Canadian journal of urology
INTRODUCTION: The Clavien-Dindo (CD) and Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) are two grading systems that annotate adverse events following surgical procedures. We compare these two classification systems in a cohort of patients undergoing radical...

Comparison of intraoperative basal fluid requirements in distal pancreatectomy: Laparotomy vs. laparoscopy: A retrospective cohort study.

Medicine
There has been recent progress in intraoperative fluid therapy. However, little is known about intraoperative fluid therapy in laparoscopic surgery. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there are differences in the basal fluid requiremen...

Pixel-Level Deep Segmentation: Artificial Intelligence Quantifies Muscle on Computed Tomography for Body Morphometric Analysis.

Journal of digital imaging
Pretreatment risk stratification is key for personalized medicine. While many physicians rely on an "eyeball test" to assess whether patients will tolerate major surgery or chemotherapy, "eyeballing" is inherently subjective and difficult to quantify...
