Interview With Dr. Dawn Salvatore, Preeyal Patel
Interview With Dr. Dawn Salvatore, Preeyal Patel
Gibbon Surgical Review
A medical student’s path to surgery is notoriously long and arduous. Traditionally, students who are interested in the field begin to prepare their qualifications from day one, especially given the competitive nature of acceptance into surgical programs. For students who develop an interest in surgery during their later years of medical school, it can be a daunting task to pursue a track in which they already feel behind. Often times, these students are discouraged from applying to surgical residencies, worrying that their non-traditional path may hinder their success. However, Dr. Dawn Salvatore can reassure students that a non-traditional path to …

Primum Non Nocere: Surgeons And The Politics Of Firearm Trauma, Kaushal Desai
Gibbon Surgical Review
The crisis of firearm violence in America continues to worsen and the call to action cannot be ignored. If we are to make a real impact, we must be just as skilled policy makers as proceduralists. We must wield the pen as well as we wield the scalpel. All the clinical knowledge and surgical skills in the world will make no difference if we do not reduce the number of firearm injuries. The skillset we need is policy analysis and lobbying, which can only be developed through political activism and engagement, not more practice questions and Online MedEd.

Longevity In Surgery: A Conversation With Two Temple Surgeons About How They Continually Find Joy In Their Careers, Kelsey Muir
Gibbon Surgical Review
Both Dr. Daly and Dr. Pontari describe the stress and pressure that comes with a long career in patient care, however intertwined with the stress is their overwhelming gratitude and joy for surgery. Maintaining that perspective for medicine and patient care has required two things: community and an outlet. Dr. Daly and Dr. Pontari expressed the need to be able to share their anxieties and struggles with someone to process the stress, the difficulties, and the demands of a surgical career.
John H. Gibbon, Jr., Md
Gibbon Surgical Review
Dr. John Heysham Gibbon, Jr. graduated from Jefferson Medical College in 1927, and in a brief series of events, he was named Fellow at Massachusetts General Hospital. In 1930, he found himself assisting Dr. Edward Churchill in an emergency pulmonary embolectomy. At that time the procedure was one of desperation, as no patient in the U.S. had survived the removal of blood clots in open-heart surgery. As Dr. Gibbon recorded the patient’s waning vital signs prior to the procedure he thought, “If only we could remove the blood from her body by bypassing her lungs, and oxygenate it, then return …

The Utility Of Surgical Simulation In Student Education, Jared Raikin
The Utility Of Surgical Simulation In Student Education, Jared Raikin
Gibbon Surgical Review
The use of simulation in the field of surgery has become a heavily researched topic over the last few decades, but it is by no means a new concept. The first recorded use of surgical simulation dates back 2,500 years with evidence of nasal models for flap reconstruction made of leaf and clay.1 But simulation as we know it today did not take shape until the 1980s with the invention of the Comprehensive Anesthesia Simulation Environment (CASE) mannequins. The use of nonorganic simulation tools revolutionized the field and continues to play a large role in medical education. These modalities have …

General Surgery 101: Nissen Fundoplication, Kelley Yuan, Tyler Bauer
Gibbon Surgical Review
The first time that medical students enter the OR can be a jarring experience. Successfully maintaining sterility is hard enough, but remembering relevant patient history, answering “pimp” questions, and performing basic suturing skills can make the third year medical student experience difficult. In this article we describe a common surgery performed by both general and thoracic surgeons with a specific focus on “medical student level” understanding. This piece is the product of a collaboration between an MS1 and MS4, both of whom are interested in a career in surgery. We hope you find it helpful!

Surgeons’ Views On Shared Decision-Making, Suraj Kannan, Jayhyun Seo, Kevin R. Riggs, Gail Geller, Emily F. Boss, Zackary D. Berger
Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews
Purpose: Shared decision-making (SDM) has a significant role in surgical encounters, where decisions are influenced by both clinician and patient preferences. Herein, we sought to explore surgeons’ practices and beliefs about SDM.
Methods: We performed a qualitative study consisting of semi-structured individual interviews with 18 surgeons from private practice and academic surgery practices in Baltimore, Maryland. We purposively sampled participants to maximize diversity of practice type (academic vs private), surgical specialty, gender, and experience level. Interview topics included benefits and challenges to patient involvement in decision-making, communicating uncertainty to patients, and use of decision aids. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. …

Journal of Mind and Medical Sciences
Infections of the deep neck spaces often present a clinical challenge for the ENT surgeon. Management of these complex suppurations of the neck requires in fact a multidisciplinary approach due to possible complications like mediastinitis, septic shock and MSOF, life threatening bleeding and ICU management. The spread of infection from the primary site to other regions is possible through the lymphatic, arterial and venous vessels, or directly along the fasciae. There are several classifications for the etiology, pathogenic mechanism and site of evolution, the most frequently encountered clinical forms being peritonsillar abscess, retropharyngeal abscess, lateropharyngeal abscess, and the deep cervical …

Effects Of Revision Surgery On Grade Of Adverse Local Tissue Reaction Following Recall Of A Modular Hip Implant, Joseph F. Davies, Danielle M. Greer, Susan Truchan
Effects Of Revision Surgery On Grade Of Adverse Local Tissue Reaction Following Recall Of A Modular Hip Implant, Joseph F. Davies, Danielle M. Greer, Susan Truchan
Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews
Background: The Stryker Rejuvenate modular hip implant device allows for greater versatility in matching a patient’s anatomy than conventional implants. Device recalls and in vivo metal hypersensitivity after total hip arthroplasty (THA) are common. However, recall of the Rejuvenate implant represents one of the largest recall volumes to date, highlighting our uncertainty regarding causes of device metal fretting/corrosion and adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR). While devices with metal-on-metal bearings historically were culprits for release of metal debris, more recently developed modular-neck devices add opportunity for adjacent metal components to rub together. With the Rejuvenate device, corrosion or fretting likely occurs …

A Proposed Therapeutic Algorithm Based On Multiple Case Analysis Regarding The Repair Options Of Iatrogenic Biliary Lesions Following Open And Laparoscopic Surgery, Cosmin Alec Moldovan, Dan Florin Ungureanu, Vladimir Beliș
Journal of Mind and Medical Sciences
Introduction: the problem of the iatrogenic lesions of the main biliary pathways is far from being completely clarified and still represents a serious surgical situation, during both open and laparoscopic surgeries. The outcome of these situations is closely linked with the actual moment of discovery of the lesion and the surgical methods for repairing such defects and implies a great number of options, such as reconstructive, derivative and substitutive techniques. Objectives: the goal of this paper is to present an algorithm of choices and their consequences for clinical conduit in the case of iatrogenic biliary lesions discovered in …

Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Perioperative Care For Breast Cancer Patients At A Patient Hotel Versus A General Surgical Ward, Madleen Anna Camilla Huzell, Johan Frisack, Kristina Dalberg
Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Perioperative Care For Breast Cancer Patients At A Patient Hotel Versus A General Surgical Ward, Madleen Anna Camilla Huzell, Johan Frisack, Kristina Dalberg
Patient Experience Journal
Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer among women in Europe and the US. The aim of this study was to assess whether perioperative care, for breast cancer patients, provided at a patient hotel could be an alternative to the conventional care in an ordinary surgical ward. The study focuses solely on the patients’ experience of the provided care with a primary outcome that perioperative care at the patient hotel would be valued better than care in a general ward. Prospective, randomized single centre study. Between 2010 and 2012 a total of 151 patients < 80 years and without severe comorbidities were included in the trial, whereof 76 patients were randomised to the ward group and 75 patients to the hotel group. Five patients were excluded from each group. The validated IN2005-E questionnaire was used to evaluate the patients’ experiences of the care. The response rate was high with 65 patients answering the IN2005-E in each group. No difference could be found between the two groups regarding patient characteristics, type of surgery or tumour characteristics. The patients generally perceived the quality of the provided care as high. However, in the hotel group there was a better experience of care regarding issues such as coordination, privacy, some aspects of medical information, availability and the courtesy of the nurses. For selected patients, perioperative care at a patient hotel is an appreciated alternative to care at a surgical ward.
