Clinical Techniques: When and how to do a myringotomy – a practical guide
Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 302-e82, June 2021., 2021 A myringotomy is a surgical incision made in the tympanic membrane (TM). This gives access to the middle ear for sampling, flushing and instilling topical therapy. It should be considered whenever the TM is intact and there is clinical evidence of otitis media, abnormal TMs and/or abnormal diagnostic imaging. Samples should be collected for cytological

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 13, Page 1780-1790, December 2020., 2020 Currently, the minimal functional adrenal remnant size, and the impact of intraoperative imaging technologies on remnant function after partial adrenalectomy, is unknown. In the present experimental study, intraoperative perfusion assessment, using quantitative fluorescence imaging, confocal laser endomicroscopy and contrast‐enhanced CT, enabled ...

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 1100-1108, December 2020., 2020 Medical students and surgical trainees were randomized to robotic or laparoscopic simulator training followed by cadaveric surgical tasks. The robotic groups had a shorter learning curve with better task performance. Another advantage for robotic surgery Background Minimally invasive surgery is the standard technique for many operations.

Simulated model of RAPID concept: highlighting innate inflammation and liver regeneration
BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 893-903, October 2020., 2020 The mechanism of RAPID‐associated liver regeneration and its regulation remains unclear. A RAPID model in rats was developed involving cold ischaemia and reperfusion of the selected future liver remnant, portal vein ligation of the remaining segments during step I, and resection of the deportalized lobes during step II.

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 787-803, October 2020., 2020 Minimally invasive and robotic techniques for oesophagectomy are associated with reduced perioperative morbidity and length of hospital stay, with no compromise of oncological outcomes but no improvement in perioperative mortality. There are suggestions of improved long‐term survival with minimally invasive oesophagectomy and robotic minimally invasive

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), Volume 107, Issue 9, Page 1211-1220, August 2020., 2020 During the learning curve, the transanal total mesorectal excision procedure is associated with a high multifocal local recurrence rate, which appears to be related to suboptimal execution rather than the technique, and necessitates prolonged proctoring, optimization of the technique avoiding spillage, participation in controlled clinical trials with ...

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 666-677, August 2020., 2020 This study highlights the impact of MRI pelvimetry in predicting surgical difficulty in laparoscopic rectal surgery. Multivariable analysis identified that surgical difficulty was significantly associated with four variables: BMI, tumour size, anorectal angle and pelvic outlet.

Prognostic and predictive values of tumour budding in stage IV colorectal cancer
BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 693-703, August 2020., 2020 In stage IV colorectal cancer, tumour budding graded by International Tumor Budding Consensus Conference criteria is an important morphological marker that can predict prognosis and, possibly, tumour chemoresistance. The clinical relevance was maintained consistently in both resection subgroups (R0/R1 and R2/unresected).

BJS Open, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 601-604, August 2020., 2020 This study investigated the impact of co‐morbidities on health‐related quality of life during long‐term follow‐up after oesophagectomy. The results showed that the substantial impact of co‐morbidities on reported general health might be associated with symptoms and health‐related quality of life 10 years after oesophageal cancer treatment.
