BACKGROUNDS: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) are cystic neoplasms of the pancreatic ductal system. These incidental cystic lesions are increasingly found on radiological imaging and screened for malignant transformation. The Fukuoka consensus guidelines recommend screening with computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging or endoscopic ultrasound. Branch duct IPMN (BD-IPMN) have significantly lower malignancy and mortality rates compared to main duct IPMN. Our aim was to assess the cost-effectiveness of guideline's recommendations for BD-IPMN screening of cysts between 2 and 3 cm in an Australian context...

BACKGROUND: The majority of cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC) have a favourable prognosis. However, a subset of cases follow an aggressive disease course with progression to metastasis and death. Several histopathological parameters are associated with poor outcomes, but lymphovascular invasion (LVI) has not been well studied. OBJECTIVE: To assess the prognostic significance of LVI in cSCC and determine associations between LVI and cSCC. METHODS: A retrospective review of 486 consecutive cases of cSCC over a 5-year period from a single centre was stratified by the presence or absence of LVI...

BACKGROUNDS: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is an increasingly prevalent and highly morbid pathology affecting the older population. Infra-inguinal bypass (IIB) surgery remains a robust revascularization option in these patients. This study aimed to identify modifiable predictors associated with graft patency and functional outcomes in contemporary Australian vascular surgical practice. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing IIB between 2010 and 2020 at a tertiary vascular surgery centre in Australia was performed...

BACKGROUND: Adenomyoma of the small intestine is rare in children and the clinical characteristics is not clear. The study was to document the clinical characteristics and treatment of children with adenomyoma of the small intestine. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted in children with intestinal adenomyoma from 2010 to 2022. We recorded age, gender, symptoms, location, tumour size and treatment options. RESULTS: Thirteen patients with adenomyoma of the small bowel were included...

BACKGROUNDS: The adenoma-carcinoma and serrated pathways offer a window of opportunity for the removal of pre-malignant polyps and prevention of colorectal cancer (CRC) through the use of colonoscopy. The aim of this study was to investigate variation in polyp incidence in different age groups, gender and indications for undertaking colonoscopy. We also address histological types of polyps found and where in the bowel they are located. METHODS: This study is based on the colonoscopy data collected prospectively over a one-year period in multiple South Australian rural centres, 24 general surgeons contributed to this study...

BACKGROUND: Major burns are associated with multiple risk factors for thrombosis such as decreased mobilization and systemic inflammation. It is unclear if these factors are offset by the inherent lower thrombosis risk in the paediatric patient. As such there is no consensus on thromboprophylaxis for paediatric burns patients, in contrast to this being a mainstay of treatment in the adult population. This retrospective cohort study examines the incidence of, and risk factors for, thrombotic events in major paediatric burns with a view to establish guidelines for prevention...

BACKGROUND: Prehabilitation seeks to optimize patient health before surgery to improve outcomes. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been conducted on prehabilitation, however an updated synthesis of this evidence is required across General Surgery to inform potential Supplementary discipline-level protocols. Accordingly, this systematic review of RCTs aimed to evaluate the use of prehabilitation interventions across the discipline of General Surgery. METHODS: This study was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023403289), and adhered to PRISMA 2020 and SWiM guidelines...

BACKGROUND: Emergency laparotomy (EL) is performed on about 15 500 patients in Australia each year. Aside from mortality there is significant concern about the possibility that previously independent patients discharged after EL will become reliant on long-term dependent care. This study aimed to establish the proportion of patients not returning to their pre-admission residence, a proxy for dependent care, following EL. METHODS: Data were collected on all adult patients who underwent EL across four Australian hospitals over 2 years...

BACKGROUND: Surgical residency provides insight into the essential skills required to become a successful surgical registrar. However, the role of the surgical resident remains largely undefined. While the Royal Australasian College of Surgeon (RACS) JDocs framework provides a useful guide, no published research explores what defines a highly performing surgical resident. We investigate what constitutes a 'good' surgical resident from the surgical resident and accredited surgical registrar perspectives...

BACKGROUND: Multiple cancer registries in Australia are used to track the incidence of cancer and the outcomes of their treatment. These registries can be broadly classed into a few types with an increasing number of registries comes a greater potential for collaboration and linkage. This article aims to critically review cancer registry types in Australia and evaluate the Australian Cancer registry landscape to identify these areas. METHODS: A systematic review was performed through MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Library, updated to September 2022 using a predefined search strategy...

BACKGROUND: Surgery is constantly evolving with the assistance of rapidly developing novel technology. Eye-tracking devices provide opportunities to monitor the acquisition of surgical skills, gain insight into performance, and enhance surgical practice. The aim of this review was to consolidate the available evidence for the use of eye-tracking in the surgical disciplines.

BACKGROUND: A significant body of literature has examined the impact of verbal and non-verbal bullying in surgical settings, where a central focus has been on the experiences of trainee and junior members of the surgical team, women in surgery and other health professionals, such as nurses. Research on how surgeons' perceive or experience bullying is more limited. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the views of surgeons on negative and disrespectful verbal and non-verbal behaviour and bullying in surgical settings, including its impact on surgeons themselves and the surgical staff they oversee...
