Am Surg 2019 Mar;85(3):273-279

In an era of rising obesity and an aging population, there are conflicting data regarding outcomes of laparoscopic weight loss surgery in older Americans. The aim of this study was to characterize the short-term outcomes of laparoscopic weight loss surgery in the elderly. The ACS NSQIP database was queried for obese patients aged ≥40 years undergoing laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. Patients were subdivided into age groups: 40 to 49, 50 to 59, 60 to 64, 65 to 69, and ≥70 years, and compared with univariate and multivariate analyses. Fifty-three thousand five hundred thirty-three patients were identified. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass was performed in 57.5 per cent of cases and was more common than sleeve gastrectomy in all age groups ( < 0.05). Comorbidities increased significantly with increasing age. There was an increase in minor (4.6% 9.1%; < 0.0001) and major complications (2.2% 6.3%; < 0.0001), and 30-day mortality (0.1% 0.5%; = 0.0001) between the 40 to 49 and ≥70 years age groups. Increased age was independently associated with major complications. Mortality also increased with age. Older patients undergoing laparoscopic weight loss surgery have increased morbidity and mortality. When controlling for comorbidities, increases in age continued to impact major and minor complications and mortality.

The Effect of Joint Line Elevation on In Vivo Knee Kinematics in Bicruciate Retaining Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Authors:
Christian Klemt Anand Padmanabha Venkatsaiakhil Tirumala Evan J Smith Young-Min Kwon

J Knee Surg 2021 Feb 26. Epub 2021 Feb 26.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Bioengineering Laboratory, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.

Prior studies have reported a negative effect on both clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) following joint line elevation (JLE) in cruciate-retaining (CR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and posterior stabilized (PS) TKA designs. This experimental study was aimed to quantify the effect of JLE on in vivo knee kinematics in patients with bicruciate retaining (BCR) TKA during strenuous activities. Thirty unilateral BCR TKA patients were evaluated during single-leg deep lunge and sit-to-stand using a validated combined computer tomography and dual fluoroscopic imaging system. Read More

Laryngoscope 2021 Feb 26. Epub 2021 Feb 26.

Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology, UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.

Objective/hypothesis: Advanced practice provider (APP) employment is becoming common in pediatric otolaryngology practices, though few studies have evaluated the consequences that APP-led clinics have on access to care. The objectives of this study were: 1) to investigate whether access to bilateral myringotomy with tympanostomy tube placement (BMT) for recurrent acute otitis media (RAOM) differed between patients seen in otolaryngologist and APP-led clinics 2) to compare clinical characteristics of patients seen by provider type.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study at an academic, tertiary care pediatric otolaryngology practice. Read More

'We Don't Want You to Diet': Bariatric professionals' boundary work and negotiation of pleasure and control.

Authors:
Hilla Nehushtan

Sociol Health Illn 2021 Feb 26. Epub 2021 Feb 26.

Department of Sociology and Anthropology, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Israel.

Although patients who undergo weight-loss surgery (WLS/bariatric surgery) must follow severe eating restrictions in a manner similar to that of dieting, professionals strive to demarcate distinctions between the approaches and methods of WLS and diet. Drawing from ethnographic research, this study focuses on the content and interpretative dimensions of professionals' boundary work as well as its meaning and implications for patients. The post-surgical body is revealed as a site of dispute. Read More

Childs Nerv Syst 2021 Feb 26. Epub 2021 Feb 26.

Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery Unit, Lenval University Children's Hospital, 57, Av. Californie, 06200, Nice, France.

Purpose: To describe the potential issues in the methodology of surgical site infection (SSI) prevention and how it was investigated and corrected in a single institution.

Methods: A pediatric orthopedic unit experienced an increase of SSI, concerning up to 10% of scoliosis surgery cases from 2011 to 2013. An institutional procedure of multimodal and interdisciplinary risk evaluation was initiated, including a review of the literature, a morbi-mortality meeting, internal and external audits concerning the hygiene conditions in the operating room, the antibiotic prophylaxis, patients, and sterile material pathways.
