INTRODUCTION
The TrenGuard™ patient positioning device is a comprehensive patient restraint system for patient positioning when in Trendelenburg position during robotic surgery. This study aims to compare patient migration with the TrenGuard™ patient restraint system (TGPRS) to traditional patient restraint with surgical tape and egg crate foam bolsters (STECFB).

Conference Presentation Abstracts
Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a significant source of perioperative morbidity. There is limited data regarding antibiotic prophylaxis in pediatrics, and there are no standardized guidelines in neonates. Thus, peri-operative antibiotic use is based on surgeon experience and preference. To explore this knowledge gap, we sought to describe the practice patterns of pediatric surgeons with regard to antibiotic prophylaxis for SSIs in neonatal surgery
Methods: A survey was distributed to the American Pediatric Surgical Association (APSA). Members were asked to respond to 6 hypothetical case scenarios: Tracheoesophageal fistula/Esophageal atresia, Hirschsprung’s disease, Gastroschisis, Congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair, Neonatal intestinal obstruction …

Conference Presentation Abstracts
Background: While there has been significant focus on individual and programmatic factors impacting general surgical residents wellbeing and burnout, the effect of the greater institutional macrocosm has not been well studied. Our work seeks to identify organizational factors that may be implicated in resident wellness. Summary of Work: Using a modified Delphi technique, a survey structured around six domains of the Maslach Burnout Theory (workload, control, reward, community, fairness, values) was distributed to wellness stakeholders at two institutions. Participants identified factors that may be implicated in resident wellness and burnout. Two subsequent multiple-choice survey iterations were distributed to stakeholders who …
