To review existing literature regarding surgical timing in cervical trauma with a focus on acute traumatic central cord syndrome....
Traumatic central cord syndrome is the most common incomplete spinal cord injury. Substantial basic science literature has proposed ischemic and secondary injury-driven mechanisms underpinning the urg...
A literature search was conducted of studies in PubMed Central and Cochrane Database related to timing in cervical spine trauma....
Recently, several major systematic reviews and consensus statements have endorsed the importance and safety of early (<24 h) operative decompression in the setting of traumatic spinal cord injury. Des...
It is unknown whether the July Effect (a theory that medical errors and organizational inefficiencies increase during the influx of new surgical residents) exists in urologic robotic-assisted surgery....
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of operating room nurse (ORN) characteristics on the duration of elective neurosurgical procedures in adults. In addition, we conducte...
We collected and analyzed operating times for adult elective neurosurgical procedures, categorizing them by surgeon, procedure complexity (dichotomized as technologically complex and simple), and ORN ...
Analysis of operating times reveals an approximately 20-minute difference for complex procedures when performed with ndORN. However, there is no significant difference in operating times for simple pr...
Complex neurosurgical procedures exhibit shorter durations when performed by dORNs. We explore several hypotheses to explain this difference. By adapting available human resources and optimizing workf...
In spinal surgery adverse events (AE) and surgical complications (SC) significantly affect patient's outcome and quality of life. The duration of surgery has been investigated in different surgical fi...
We retrospectively analyzed data collected prospectively in a cohort of 336 patients surgically treated for spinal diseases of oncological and degenerative origin in a single center, between January 2...
A total of 105/336 patients experienced an AE related to surgery, respectively 38% in the oncological group and 28% in the degenerative group. The average age at surgery was 60.3 years (SD 17.1) and t...
This study highlights the strong correlation between the occurrence of adverse events in spinal surgery and prolonged operative time and suggests that efforts should be made to minimize the duration o...
Stereotactic frameless needle brain biopsy is a common neurosurgical procedure performed via twist drill or open burr hole approaches. We aim to compare diagnostic yields and surgical outcomes to deli...
The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of various factors, in particular operation time, on mortality and complication rates in patients with femoral neck fractures who have und...
Cases of patients with femoral neck fracture treated with HHA between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2023 were screened for eligibility. Multiple logistic regressions were calculated to determine whic...
A total of 552 patients were considered eligible for this study. During the 90-day follow-up period after HHA, 50 deaths and 34 complications were recorded, giving a mortality rate of 9.1%, and a comp...
This retrospective data analysis found that the risk of a patient experiencing a complication was 2.2% higher for every minute increase in operation time. Patients with an operation time above the cut...
This study focuses on investigating the risk factors of increased operating room time and patient complication rates after total shoulder arthroplasty cases (both reverse and anatomic). We hypothesize...
This is a single-center, retrospective study focused on determining the effects of staffing on operating room time and efficiency in total shoulder arthroplasty. The study included patients who underw...
Four hundred twenty-three patients were included in the study from August 2018 to April 2023, 264 of which were reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) and 159 were anatomic total shoulder arthropl...
Because the presence of surgeon-preferred staff affects operating room time and efficiency, orthopaedic surgeons should train multiple surgical teams so that efficiency is not affected by the loss of ...
Orthopedic surgeons face challenges regarding perioperative bleeding during the operations of pelvic and acetabular fracture cases. Although the recently popular tranexamic acid (TXA) has proven to be...
The files of patients with pelvis or acetabulum fractures admitted to the Emergency Clinic of the Adana City Training and Research Hospital between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2023, were analyze...
There were 78 files identified for analysis. Among the fractures, 27 were located at the pelvis (34.61%) and 51 at the acetabulum (65.38%). The pelvic fracture cases' age and preoperative hemoglobulin...
Among the variables, the amount of intraoperative bleeding emerged as the most correlated element, which strongly suggests that in managing open reduction internal fixation surgeries performed for pel...
Upper hemi-sternotomy is a common approach for outflow graft anastomosis to the ascending aorta in minimally invasive left-ventricular assist device implantation. Right mini-thoracotomy may also be us...
Minimally invasive posterior fixation surgery for pyogenic spondylitis is known to reduce invasiveness and complication rates; however, the outcomes of concomitant insertion of pedicle screws (PS) int...
This multicenter retrospective cohort study included 70 patients undergoing minimally invasive posterior fixation for thoracolumbar pyogenic spondylitis across nine institutions. Patients were categor...
The mean age of the 70 patients was 72.8 years. The insertion group (n = 36) had shorter operative times (146 versus 195 min, p = 0.032) and a reduced range of fixation (5.4 versus 6.9 vertebrae, p = ...
PS insertion into infected vertebrae during minimally invasive posterior fixation reduces the operative time and range of fixation without increasing the occurrence of unplanned reoperations due to SS...
