Outcomes of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy on Immediate Breast Reconstruction after Mastectomy. PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY-GLOBAL OPEN 2023; 11:e5130. [PMID: 37534110 PMCID: PMC10393080 DOI: 10.1097/gox.0000000000005130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023]
Abstract
Immediate expander/implant-based breast reconstruction after mastectomy has become more sought after by patients. Although many patients choose this technique due to good aesthetic outcomes, lack of donor site morbidity, and shorter procedure times, it is not without complications. The most reported complications include seroma, infection, hematoma, mastectomy flap necrosis, wound dehiscence, and implant exposure, with an overall complication rate as high as 45%. Closed incision negative pressure therapy (ciNPT) has shown value in wound healing and reducing complications; however, the current literature is inconclusive. We aimed to examine if ciNPT improves outcomes for patients receiving this implant-based reconstruction. Methods This is a retrospective single-institution study evaluating the ciNPT device, 3M Prevena Restor BellaForm, on breast reconstruction patients. The study was performed between July 1, 2019 and October 30, 2020, with 125 patients (232 breasts). Seventy-seven patients (142 breasts) did not receive the ciNPT dressing, and 48 patients (90 breasts) received the ciNPT dressing. Primary outcomes were categorized by major or minor complications. Age, BMI, and final drain removal were summarized using medians and quartiles, and were compared with nonparametric Mann-Whitney test. Categorical variables were compared using chi-square or Fisher exact test. Results There was a statistically significant reduction in major complications in the ciNPT group versus the standard dressing group (P = 0.0247). Drain removal time was higher in the ciNPT group. Conclusion Our study shows that ciNPT may help reduce major complication rates in implant-based breast reconstruction patients.

Abstract
Degeneration of the intervertebral disc (IVD) is a normal part of aging. Due to the spine's declining function and the development of pain, it may affect one's physical health, mental health, and socioeconomic status. Most of the intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) therapies today focus on the symptoms of low back pain rather than the underlying etiology or mechanical function of the disc. The deteriorated disc is typically not restored by conservative or surgical therapies that largely focus on correcting symptoms and structural abnormalities. To enhance the clinical outcome and the quality of life of a patient, several therapeutic modalities have been created. In this review, we discuss genetic and environmental causes of IVDD and describe promising modern endogenous and exogenous therapeutic approaches including their applicability and relevance to the degeneration process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS We aim to determine the prevalence of anemia in hospitalized patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and estimate the relationship between the severity of anemia and diabetic foot ulcer. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively collected and evaluated the data of 323 patients hospitalized with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). We included 299 type 2 diabetic patients with foot ulcers of neuropathic or neuroischemic nature with infection. Anemia was defined based on World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, and the severity of DFU was classified in University of Texas (UT) grades. RESULTS Anemia was detected in 94.3% of DFU, and the prevalence of mild, moderate, and severe anemia was 16.7%, 55.7%, and 27.6%, respectively. There was a significant difference in the mean hemoglobin (Hb) levels among the patients with varying grades of severity of DFU (1B: Hb=10.17±2.08 gm/dL, 2B: Hb=9.27±2.04 gm/dL, 3B: Hb=8.03±1.829 gm/dL; p value=<0.0001). The iron study was available in 141 (47.15%) patients and was suggestive of anemia of chronic disorder (mean serum iron=40.22±23.81 mcg/dL, mean total iron-binding capacity (TIBC)=239.34±67.24 mcg/dL, mean ferritin=378.05±141.337 ng/mL). TIBC significantly decreased (1B=262.13±61.05, 2B=233.65±71.26, 3B=222.43±74.18; p=0.04), and ferritin significantly increased (1B=309.9±70.76, 2B=351.73±94.22, 3B=488.58±170.4; p<0.0001) with increasing DFU severity. Hemoglobin was significantly decreased at the time of discharge in comparison to that at admission (9.3±2.1 gm/dL versus 8.8±1.5 gm/dL; p value=0.01). Red blood cell (RBC) counts, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), lymphocyte counts, albumin, calcium, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) significantly decreased with the increase of DFU severity. The duration of hospitalization, total leucocyte counts, neutrophil counts, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) increased with the severity of DFU. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of anemia was very high in DFU and more than three-fourths of the patients had moderate to severe anemia. The severity of anemia was associated with the severity of DFU. The most common cause of anemia was anemia of chronic disorder secondary to diabetic foot infection. During the period of hospitalization, hemoglobin decreased despite improvement in DFU infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Scandinavian Diverticulitis (SCANDIV) trial and the LOLA arm of the LADIES trial randomized patients with Hinchey III perforated diverticulitis to laparoscopic peritoneal lavage or sigmoid resection. The aim of this analysis was to identify risk factors for treatment failure in patients with Hinchey III perforated diverticulitis. METHODS This was a post hoc analysis of the SCANDIV trial and LOLA arm. Treatment failure was defined as morbidity requiring general anaesthesia (Clavien-Dindo grade IIIb or higher) within 90 days. Age, sex, BMI, ASA fitness grade, smoking status, previous episodes of diverticulitis, previous abdominal surgery, time to surgery, and surgical competence were all tested in univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses using an interaction variable. RESULTS The pooled analysis included 222 patients randomized to laparoscopic lavage and primary resection (116 and 106 patients respectively). Univariable analysis found ASA grade to be associated with advanced morbidity in both groups, and the following factors in the laparoscopic lavage group: smoking, corticosteroid use, and BMI. Significant factors for laparoscopic lavage morbidity in multivariable analysis were smoking (OR 7.05, 95 per cent c.i. 2.07 to 23.98; P = 0.002) and corticosteroid use (OR 6.02, 1.54 to 23.51; P = 0.010). CONCLUSION Active smoking status and corticosteroid use were risk factors for laparoscopic lavage treatment failure (advanced morbidity) in patients with perforated diverticulitis.

Abstract
Background Chevron osteotomy is one of the most common approaches to hallux valgus corrective surgery. This procedure is often combined with Akin osteotomy of the proximal phalanx of the hallux. There are no definitive guidelines specifying the indications for a given osteotomy technique nor data on postoperative loss of correction or the effect of the type of first-ray surgery on the development of adjacent-joint arthritis. The aim of this study was to assess radiographic treatment outcomes via chevron osteotomy with and without Akin osteotomy. Methods The study evaluated 117 patients treated in the period 2016-2019. Ninety-nine of those patients underwent distal chevron osteotomy alone, and 18 patients underwent a combined chevron-Akin double osteotomy. The analyzed radiograms had been obtained preoperatively, at 6 weeks after surgery, and after a long-term follow-up. The following parameters were assessed: the intermetatarsal angle (IMA), hallux valgus angle (HVA), interphalangeal angle (IPA), postoperative recurrence of valgus deformity, adjacent-joint arthritis, and complications. Results Chevron-Akin osteotomy helped maintain lower HVA and IPA values in long-term follow-up in comparison with those in the patients who underwent chevron osteotomy alone. The chevron osteotomy group showed a significant increase in the mean HVA from 18.37° at the first follow-up visit to 20.81° at the last follow-up visit. There were no differences between the groups in terms of the remaining assessed radiographic parameters. Hallux valgus surgery does not increase adjacent-joint arthritis. Conclusion The use of combined chevron-Akin osteotomy does not affect HVA or IMA correction. The combination of chevron and Akin osteotomies reduces the risk of increased HVA and IPA in long-term follow-up. The additional Akin osteotomy does not increase the risk of adjacent-joint arthritis. Combining chevron osteotomy with Akin osteotomy is recommended in hallux valgus deformity correction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tobacco smoking is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Several authors reported a significant negative impact of smoking on the outcome of spinal surgeries. However, comparative studies on the effect of smoking on the outcome of minimally invasive (MIS) spinal decompression are rare with conflicting results. In this study, we aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes and postoperative complications following MIS decompression in current and former smoking patients compared to those of non-smoking patients. METHODS We used our prospectively collected database to retrospectively analyse the records of 188 consecutive patients treated with MIS lumbar decompression at our institution between November 2013 and July 2017. Patients were divided into groups of smokers (S), previous smokers (PS) and non-smokers (N). The S group and the PS group comprised 31 and 40 patients, respectively. The N group included 117 patients. The outcome measures included perioperative complications, revision surgery and length of stay. Patient-reported outcome measures included a visual analogue scale (VAS) for back pain and leg pain, as well as the Oswestry disability index (ODI) for evaluating functional outcomes. RESULTS Demographic variables, comorbidity and other preoperative variables were comparable between the three groups. A comparison of perioperative complications and revision surgery rates showed no significant difference between the groups. All groups showed significant improvement in their ODI and VAS scores at 12 and 24 months following surgery. As shown by a multivariate analysis, current smokers had lower chances of improvement, exceeding the minimal clinical important difference (MCID) in ODI and VAS for leg pain at 12 months but not 24 months postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Our findings show that except for a possible delay in improvement in leg pain and disability, tobacco smoking has no substantial adverse impact on complications and revision rates following MIS spinal decompressions.

Abstract
Clinical studies demonstrate the impact of smoking on bone tissue fragility and higher incidence of fractures. However, it is not totally understood which physiological mechanisms could be involved in these events. Previously, we showed important changes in bone tissue components in experimental model of cigarette smoke (CS) exposure. CS exposure induces worsening in bone mineralization and a decrease in collagen type I deposition, leading to bone fragility. Considering that the majority of clinical studies described bone structural changes by radiographic images, in this study we performed analyses "in situ" using tissue samples from smokers, former smokers and non-smokers to better understand how the increase in inflammatory mediators induced by smoking exposure could interfere in bone cells activity leading bone structural changes. We observed increased levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in bone tissue homogenates with a concomitant increase in osteoblast apoptosis in smokers and former smokers compared with non-smokers. Histological changes in both smokers and former smokers were characterized by reduction in collagen type I. Only in smokers, it was observed decrease in trabecular area, suggesting increased bone resorption and increase in collagen type V. These results showed that osteoblasts apoptosis in association with increased bone resorption leads bone structural changes in smokers.

Prospective study of 90 arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs for isolated distal supraspinatus tear, assessing the impact of cardiovascular risk factors on tendon healing. Orthop Traumatol Surg Res 2023; 109:103244. [PMID: 35158105 DOI: 10.1016/j.otsr.2022.103244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2020] [Revised: 07/22/2021] [Accepted: 09/13/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cardiovascular risk factors have been shown to be relevant to onset of rotator cuff tear, but their influence on healing remains to be determined. OBJECTIVE To assess the individual and cumulative impact of cardiovascular risk factors on tendon healing after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. MATERIAL AND METHOD A single-center prospective study included 90 patients undergoing arthroscopic repair of isolated distal supraspinatus tendon tear. Only isolated full-thickness tears without anteroposterior extension, retraction (Patte stage ≤ 2) or fatty involution were included. Tendon healing was assessed on ultrasound according to the 5 types of the Sugaya classification. Clinical and functional assessment at 12 months used Constant score. Cardiovascular comorbidities were screened for in the preoperative anesthesiology consultation and control consultation: smoking, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular history, and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. RESULTS Ninety patients with a mean age of 59.6±6.95 years were included for analysis. 77.7% of cuffs showed healing on ultrasound, without signs of retear (stage 1-3), 16.6% showed partial retear (stage 4) and 6.6% showed no healing, with tendon retraction (stage 5). Mean Constant score improved by 37.5 points (p=0.001), for a global score of 78 at 12 months. Multivariate analysis identified several significant cardiovascular factors for poor healing: active smoking (p=0.002), dyslipidemia (p=0.006), high blood pressure (p≤0.001) and obesity (p=0.02). Cumulative comorbidity was associated with poor tendon healing, with significant impact as of 2 cardiovascular risk factors. Constant score decreased significantly according to healing stage (p≤0.001). CONCLUSION The present study confirmed the involvement of cardiovascular risk factors in bone-tendon healing disorder, with significant impact as of 2 factors. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV; low-power prospective clinical series.

Prognostic model on niche development after a first caesarean section: development and internal validation. Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 2023; 283:59-67.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop and internally validate a prognostic prediction model for development of a niche in the uterine scar after a first caesarean section (CS). STUDY DESIGN Secondary analyses on data of a randomized controlled trial, performed in 32 hospitals in the Netherlands among women undergoing a first caesarean section. We used multivariable backward logistic regression. Missing data were handled using multiple imputation. Model performance was assessed by calibration and discrimination. Internal validation using bootstrapping techniques took place. The outcome was 'development of a niche in the uterus', defined as an indentation of ≥ 2 mm in the myometrium. RESULTS We developed two models to predict niche development: in the total population and after elective CS. Patient related risk factors were: gestational age, twin pregnancy and smoking, and surgery related risk factors were double-layer closure and less surgical experience. Multiparity and Vicryl suture material were protective factors. The prediction model in women undergoing elective CS revealed similar results. After internal validation, Nagelkerke R2 ranged from 0.01 to 0.05 and was considered low; median area under the curve (AUC) ranged from 0.56 to 0.62, indicating failed to poor discriminative ability. CONCLUSIONS The model cannot be used to accurately predict the development of a niche after a first CS. However, several factors seem to influence scar healing which indicates possibilities for future prevention such as surgical experience and suture material. The search for additional risk factors that play a role in development of a niche should be continued to improve the discriminative ability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND On-track lesions with a short distance from the medial edge of the Hill-Sachs lesion to the medial edge of the glenoid track (nearly off-track) may predispose recurrence after arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) in the general population. The aim of this study was to determine if a shorter distance between the medial edge of the Hill-Sachs lesion and the medial edge of the glenoid track could accurately predict recurrence after an ABR in a high-demand military population. It was hypothesized that a shorter distance would not accurately predict recurrence. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective monocenter case-control study was performed at the Dutch Central Military Hospital. Patients with an on-track Hill-Sachs lesion who underwent a primary ABR between 2014 and 2019 with a minimal follow-up of 2 years and a preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment received a questionnaire. The primary outcome was recurrence, defined as a complete dislocation or subluxation. Glenoid bone loss was assessed using a linear-based method on MRI. The distance from the medial edge of the Hill-Sachs lesion to the medial edge of the glenoid track was defined as the distance to dislocation (DTD). A receiver operating characteristic curve was created to determine the predictive value of the DTD for recurrence. Logistic regression was used to determine preoperative risk factors that predispose recurrence. Covariates were selected based on univariable analysis and included gender, body mass index, age at surgery and first dislocation, laterality, smoking habits, overhead shoulder activity during work, preoperative dislocations, sports type and level, bony or labral lesions on MRI, and DTD. RESULTS In total, 80 patients with an average follow-up of 4.8 ± 1.9 years completed the questionnaire and were included in the analyses. Seventeen patients (21%) experienced recurrence at the final follow-up. No difference in DTD was observed among patients who experienced recurrence (9 ± 4 mm) compared with patients who did not (9 ± 5 mm; P = .81). The receiver operating characteristic curve demonstrated no predictive power of DTD for recurrence (area under the curve = 0.49). Smoking at the time of surgery (odds ratio: 3.9; confidence interval: 1.2-12.7; P = .02) and overhead shoulder movement during work (odds ratio: 9.3; confidence interval: 1.1-78.0; P = .04) were associated with recurrence according to the logistic regression analysis. CONCLUSION A shorter DTD demonstrated no accuracy in predicting recurrence in a military population. Smoking at the time of surgery and overhead shoulder activity during work were associated with recurrence; however, these analyses were underpowered to draw valid conclusions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rectourethral fistulas are a rare yet severe complication of prostate surgery, pelvic irradiation therapy, or both. Multiple surgical repairs exist with widely varying success rates. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to present our institutional multidisciplinary algorithm for rectourethral fistula repair and its outcomes. DESIGN This was a retrospective, pre- and postintervention, quasi-experimental design, comparing the frequency of fistula healing and reversal of urinary and fecal diversion before and after implementation of our algorithm. SETTING All patients who presented to the Duke University with rectourethral fistula between 2002 and 2019 were included. PATIENTS This study included 79 patients treated for rectourethral fistula: 36 prealgorithm and 43 postalgorithm. INTERVENTIONS Our multidisciplinary algorithm was implemented in 2012. Patients with fistulas <2 cm and without history of radiation therapy underwent York-Mason repair, whereas those with fistulas 2-3 cm or with prior irradiation underwent transperineal repair with gracilis flap interposition. Those with nonrepairable fistulas (>3 cm or fixed tissues) underwent pelvic exenteration. Before repair, the algorithm recommended all patients to undergo urinary and bowel diversion. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The 2 primary outcomes were rectourethral fistula healing, defined as both radiographic and clinical resolutions, and reversal of urinary and fecal diversions. RESULTS Frequency of fistula healing improved in the post- versus prealgorithm subgroups (93.1% vs 71.9%; p = 0.04). The relative risk of fistula healing pre- versus postintervention was 0.77 (0.61-0.98; p = 0.04) among the overall cohort. Eighteen patients (22.8%) underwent pelvic exenteration for nonrepairable fistulas and were not included in primary outcome measures. LIMITATIONS Limitations include the study's retrospective nature, possible selection bias because of algorithmic patient selection, and small sample size. CONCLUSIONS Implementation of a multidisciplinary institutional algorithm improved rectourethral fistula repair success with high rates of ostomy reversal. Proper patient selection and multidisciplinary involvement are paramount to this success. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/B955 .

Los pacientes con fístulas <2 cm y sin antecedentes de radiación se sometieron a reparación de York-Mason, mientras que aquellos con fístulas de 2-3 cm o radiación pélvica previa se sometieron a reparación transperineal con interposición de colgajo de gracilis. Aquellos con fístulas no reparables (> 3 cm o tejidos fijos) fueron sometidos a exenteración pélvica. Antes de la reparación, el algoritmo recomomendó que todos los pacientes se sometieran a una derivación urinaria y fecal.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Los dos resultados primarios fueron la curación de la fístula rectouretral, definida como la resolución radiográfica y clínica, y la reversión de las derivaciones urinaria y fecale.RESULTADOS:La frecuencia de curación de la fístula mejoró en el subgrupo post-algoritmo vs. pre-algoritmo (93.1% vs. 71.9%, p = 0.04). El riesgo relativo de curación de la fístula antes de la intervención en comparación con después de la intervención fue de 0.77 (0.61-0.98, p = 0.04) entre la cohorte general. Dieciocho pacientes (22.8%) se sometieron a exenteración pélvica por fístulas no reparables y, por lo tanto, no se incluyeron en las medidas de resultado primarias.LIMITACIONES:Las limitaciones de este estudio incluyen su naturaleza retrospectiva, posible sesgo de selección debido a la selección algorítmica de pacientes y un tamaño de muestra pequeño.CONCLUSIONES:La implementación de un algoritmo institucional multidisciplinario mejoró el éxito en la reparación de la fístula rectouretral con altas tasas de reversión de la ostomía. La selección adecuada de pacientes y la participación multidisciplinaria son fundamentales para este éxito. Consulte Video Resumen en http://links.lww.com/DCR/B955 .

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS Tobacco is a known risk factor for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) as well as postoperative complications in general surgery procedures. Very little is known regarding the impact of tobacco use on postoperative outcomes in POP-correcting procedures, however. We hypothesize that tobacco use will be associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications in these procedures. METHODS This study utilized the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database for the years 2012-2020. Patients who underwent POP-correcting procedures were identified using current procedural terminology (CPT) codes. Baseline characteristics between the patient populations were compared using chi-square and one-way ANOVA tests as indicated. Binary logistic regression was used to evaluate the incidence of postoperative complications based on smoking status while controlling for demographic and clinical factors. RESULTS This study included 43,406 total patients, 39,614 non-smokers and 3792 smokers. Postoperative complications including deep wound infections (P < 0.001), intraperitoneal infections (P = 0.003), wound dehiscence (P = 0.014), urinary tract infections (P = 0.029), and hospital readmissions (P < 0.001) were significantly higher in patients who smoke than those who do not. Further evaluation of patients who did not undergo mesh placement intraoperatively and those who solely underwent vaginal procedures showed similar trends. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates a higher incidence of postoperative complications after POP-correcting procedures in patients with who smoke. Wound complications, urinary tract infections, and hospital readmission confer a considerable amount of risk to patient outcomes in addition to significant healthcare cost. Consideration should be given to smoking status in preoperative evaluation and counseling before these procedures.

Abstract
Introduction Postoperative outcomes following total shoulder arthroplasty can be affected by preoperative health factors such as tobacco usage. Methods The charts of patients who underwent anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty were retrospectively analyzed and stratified based on smoking status. The primary data included range of motion and patient reported outcomes. Additionally, demographic, radiographic, and survivorship analyses were conducted. All data were analyzed using statistical inference. Results There were 78, 49, and 16 non-smoker, former smoker, and current smoker shoulders respectively with no significant differences in sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists status, body mass index, or mean follow-up time (average: 10.7 yrs). Smokers (51.5 ± 10.4 years) were younger than both non-smokers (64.9 ± 8.1 years; p < 0.01) and former smokers (65.1 ± 9.1years; p < 0.01) at the time of surgery. For non-smokers and former smokers, all range of motion and patient reported outcome scores significantly improved. Smokers reported significant improvements in all patient reported outcomes and external and internal rotation. Visual Analog Scale, American Shoulder and Elbow, and Simple Shoulder Test scores were lower for smokers comparatively, but these differences did not reach significance. Forward elevation was higher postoperatively for non-smokers (149.7o ± 17.2o) and former smokers (147.1o ± 26.0o) compared to current smokers (130.9o ± 41.2o; p = 0.017). No differences between the cohorts were found in the radiographic analysis. Revision rates were lower in the non-smoking cohort (7.7%) compared to both former (20.4%; p = 0.036) and current smokers (37.5%; p < 0.01). Survival curves showed that non-smoker implants lasted longer than those of current smokers. Conclusion After a decade, patients generally had improved shoulder range of motion, functionality, and pain regardless of smoking status. However, current smokers required shoulder replacements sooner and revision surgery more frequently.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Leucocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin has been developed to stimulate wound healing response. However, it is currently unknown whether smoking affects the biological responses elicited by leucocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin on periodontal ligament-derived mesenchymal stromal cells. This study analyzes the kinetics of biomolecule release from leucocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin derived from smokers and nonsmokers and their effect on periodontal ligament cell proliferation and migration as essential biological activities during wound healing. METHODS Biomolecules present in leucocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin exudates and conditioned media collected from smokers and nonsmokers were analyzed by Luminex arrays. Periodontal ligament-derived mesenchymal stromal cell obtained from one nonsmoker were treated with leucocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin exudates or leucocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin conditioned media derived from both smokers and nonsmokers. The parameters evaluated included cell proliferation, determined by Ki67 immunostaining and migration assessed using transwell assays. Also, cells were treated with nicotine in the presence of fetal bovine serum 10% or leucocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin conditioned media. RESULTS A similar biomolecular profile was detected in leucocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin exudates and leucocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin conditioned media from smokers and nonsmokers, stimulating (periodontal ligament-derived mesenchymal stromal cell) proliferation, and migration to a comparable degree. Nicotine reduced cell proliferation and migration of periodontal cells; however, this effect was recovered in the presence of leucocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin conditioned media. CONCLUSION Leucocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin derived from smokers could be an autologous source of biomolecules to stimulate cell biological activities involved in wound healing in smokers who have difficulties in ceasing this habit. Clinical trials are required to evaluate the impact of leucocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin on healing responses in smokers.

Septic Olecranon Bursitis With Osteomyelitis Attributed to Cutibacterium acnes: Case Report and Literature Overview of the Dilemma of Potential Contaminants and False-Positives. Cureus 2023; 15:e34563.

Abstract
We report an unusual case of acute septic olecranon bursitis, with probable olecranon osteomyelitis, where the only organism isolated in culture was initially considered a contaminant, Cutibacterium acnes. However, we ultimately considered it the likely causal organism when treatment for most of the other more likely organisms failed. This typically indolent organism is prevalent in pilosebaceous glands, which are scarce in the posterior elbow region. This case illustrates the often challenging empirical management of a musculoskeletal infection when the only organism isolated might be a contaminant, but successful eradication requires continued treatment as if it is the causal organism. The patient is a Caucasian 53-year-old male who presented to our clinic with a second episode of septic bursitis at the same location. Four years prior, he had septic olecranon bursitis from methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus that was treated uneventfully with one surgical debridement and a one-week course of antibiotics. In the current episode reported here, he sustained a minor abrasion. Cultures were obtained five separate times because of no growth and difficulty eradicating the infection. One culture grew C. acnes on day 21 of incubation; this long duration has been reported. The first several weeks of antibiotic treatment failed to eradicate the infection, which we ultimately attributed to inadequate treatment of C. acnes osteomyelitis. Although C. acnes has a well-known propensity for false-positive cultures as typically reported in post-operative shoulder infections, treatment for our patient's olecranon bursitis/osteomyelitis was successful only after several surgical debridements and a prolonged course of intravenous and oral antibiotics that targeted it as the presumptive causal organism. However, it was possible that C. acnes was a contaminant/superinfection, and another organism was the culprit, such as a Streptococcus or Mycobacterium species that was eradicated by the treatment regime targeted for C. acnes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have demonstrated increased complication risk after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients who smoke cigarettes, but it is unclear if smokeless tobacco use confers a similar impact. The purpose of this study was to (1) evaluate rates of postoperative complications after TKA in smokeless tobacco users and smokers as compared to matched controls, and (2) compare rates of postoperative complications in smokeless tobacco users versus smokers to determine if one is associated with significantly higher rates of postoperative complications. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted using a national database. For patients who underwent primary TKA, smokeless tobacco users (n = 1,535) and smokers (n = 28,953) were matched at a 1:4 with controls (n = 6,140 and 115,812, respectively), and smokeless tobacco users (n = 1,481) were matched at a 1:4 with smokers (n = 5,924). Rates of joint complications within 2 years and medical complications within 90 days postoperatively were compared using multivariable logistic regressions. RESULTS After primary TKA, compared to controls, smokeless tobacco users demonstrated significantly higher rates of aseptic loosening/mechanical failure within 2 years, longer lengths of stay, and higher rates of urinary tract infection, pneumonia, deep vein thrombosis, and acute kidney injury within 90 days. Compared to smokers, smokeless tobacco users demonstrated significantly lower rates of aseptic revision and lower rates of wound disruption. CONCLUSION Smokeless tobacco use is associated with higher rates of both medical and joint complications following primary TKA. However, smoking is associated with higher risk for complications than smokeless tobacco use. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cancer patients who remain tobacco users have poorer outcomes, including increased mortality and decreased treatment tolerance; however, cessation post-diagnosis is challenging. Our formative research explored cessation-related perspectives among patients and staff at one National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center, to inform improving cessation services within oncology care. METHODS Using a descriptive phenomenological approach, a purposive sample of current cancer patients (n = 13) and cancer center physicians and cessation program staff (n = 9) were recruited to complete one-on-one audio-recorded in-depth qualitative interviews, to explore experiences providing or receiving cessation support, and perspectives on patients' readiness and needs regarding cessation. Thematic coding utilized Green's predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing framework to identify factors having positive, negative, or mixed impact on delivery of best-practices cessation services (ie, 5As) and patient cessation success. RESULTS Patients identified cancer diagnosis as a wake-up call, existing health problems, persistent healthcare providers, cost of cigarettes, and societal disapproval of smoking as factors facilitating quitting. Futility of quitting after a cancer diagnosis, cost and logistics of program participation, clinician time constraints, and lifetime addiction made quitting harder. Family, friends, stigma and motivation, and pharmacotherapies played mixed roles. Patients felt survivor-focused cessation programs, including stress management, could better enable quitting. Provider-anticipated problems with implementing cessation counseling included so-called "therapeutic nihilism" (ie, pessimism regarding cessation post-diagnosis), lack of training and standardized approaches, and time and documentation burden. Clinicians saw both policies and peer clinician "champions" as potentially increasing prioritization of cessation within oncology. CONCLUSIONS Findings highlight unmet needs for patients and providers regarding provision of effective cessation care. Despite survival benefit, cessation is still not standard within cancer care. Our results show that many patients would benefit from standardized programs where they are routinely asked about cessation. Providers would benefit from both structural enhancements and professional education to ensure that evidence-based cessation services tailored to cancer patients, are offered throughout treatment and survivorship.

Postsurgical morbidity and mortality favorably informs deep brain stimulation for new indications including schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. Front Surg 2023; 10:958452. [PMID: 37066004 PMCID: PMC10098000 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2023.958452] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 04/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) shows promise for new indications like treatment-refractory schizophrenia in early clinical trials. In the first DBS clinical trial for treatment refractory schizophrenia, despite promising results in treating psychosis, one of the eight subjects experienced both a symptomatic hemorrhage and an infection requiring device removal. Now, ethical concerns about higher surgical risk in schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder (SZ/SAD) are impacting clinical trial progress. However, insufficient cases preclude conclusions regarding DBS risk in SZ/SAD. Therefore, we directly compare adverse surgical outcomes for all surgical procedures between SZ/SAD and Parkinson's disease (PD) cases to infer relative surgical risk relevant to gauging DBS risks in subjects with SZ/SAD. Design In the primary analysis, we used browser-based statistical analysis software, TriNetX Live (trinetx.com TriNetX LLC, Cambridge, MA), for Measures of Association using the Z-test. Postsurgical morbidity and mortality after matching for ethnicity, over 39 risk factors, and 19 CPT 1003143 coded surgical procedures from over 35,000 electronic medical records, over 19 years, from 48 United States health care organizations (HCOs) through the TriNetX Research Network™. TriNetXis a global, federated, web-based health research network providing access and statistical analysis of aggregate counts of deidentified EMR data. Diagnoses were based on ICD-10 codes. In the final analysis, logistic regression was used to determine relative frequencies of outcomes among 21 diagnostic groups/cohorts being treated with or considered for DBS and 3 control cohorts. Results Postsurgical mortality was 1.01-4.11% lower in SZ/SAD compared to the matched PD cohort at 1 month and 1 year after any surgery, while morbidity was 1.91-2.73% higher and associated with postsurgical noncompliance with medical treatment. Hemorrhages and infections were not increased. Across the 21 cohorts compared, PD and SZ/SAD were among eight cohorts with fewer surgeries, nine cohorts with higher postsurgical morbidity, and fifteen cohorts within the control-group range for 1-month postsurgical mortality. Conclusions Given that the subjects with SZ or SAD, along with most other diagnostic groups examined, had lower postsurgical mortality than PD subjects, it is reasonable to apply existing ethical and clinical guidelines to identify appropriate surgical candidates for inclusion of these patient populations in DBS clinical trials.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Wound infection is a major challenge for clinicians globally, with accurate and timely identification of wound infection being critical to achieving clinical and cost-effective management, and promotion of healing. This paper presents an overview of the development of the International Wound Infection Institute (IWII)'s 2022 Wound Infection in Clinical Practice consensus document. The updated document summarises current evidence and provides multidisciplinary healthcare providers with effective guidance and support on terminology, paradigms related to biofilm, identification of wound infection, wound cleansing, debridement and antimicrobial stewardship. Integral to the update is revision of wound infection management strategies which are incorporated within the IWII's Wound Infection Continuum (IWII-WIC) and management plan. The aim of the 2022 IWII consensus document update was to provide an accessible and useful clinical resource in at least six languages, incorporating the latest evidence and current best practice for wound infection and prevention. Dissemination techniques for the consensus are discussed and highlighted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Traumatic lacerations of the prepatellar (PB) and olecranon bursa (OB) are common injuries. The aim of this study was to gain descriptive data and to identify risk factors associated with complications that made revision surgery after primary bursectomy necessary. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this retrospective monocentric study at a level I trauma center, all patients with traumatic lacerations of the PB or OB who were treated with primary surgical bursectomy from 2015 to 2020 were analyzed. RESULTS 150 consecutive patients were included. In 44% of cases, the PB was affected (n = 66), in 56% the OB (n = 84). The reoperation rate after surgical bursectomy was 10.7% (n = 16). The main cause of reoperation was wound infection (50%; n = 8). The most common pathogen of postoperative infections was Staphylococcus aureus (87.5%). Several comorbidities have been identified as risk factors for reoperation after primary surgical bursectomy, such as heart diseases, arterial hypertension, the use of antihypertensives and anticoagulation. In contrast, surgical expertise, use of drains, postoperative immobilization, and postoperative antibiotics had no statistically significant effect. A significantly higher postoperative infection rate (17.6%) was observed in patients who were operated more than 48 h after initial trauma. CONCLUSIONS Given the limited recommendations for therapy of these common injuries, further investigations should focus on standardized therapeutic options for lacerations of the PB or OB. Delayed surgical interventions after trauma were associated with higher complication rates. Therefore, urgent surgery within 48 h after trauma may help to prevent revisions. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level of evidence IV.

Reporting of tobacco use and tobacco-related analyses in cancer cooperative group clinical trials: a systematic scoping review. ESMO Open 2022; 7:100605.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Continued smoking after a diagnosis of cancer negatively impacts cancer outcomes, but the impact of tobacco on newer treatments options is not well established. Collecting and evaluating tobacco use in clinical trials may advance understanding of the consequences of tobacco use on treatment modalities, but little is known about the frequency of reporting and analysis of tobacco use in cancer cooperative clinical trial groups. PATIENTS AND METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify cancer cooperative group clinical trials published from January 2017-October 2019. Eligible studies evaluated either systemic and/or radiation therapies, included ≥100 adult patients, and reported on at least one of: overall survival, disease/progression-free survival, response rates, toxicities/adverse events, or quality-of-life. RESULTS A total of 91 studies representing 90 trials met inclusion criteria with trial start dates ranging from 1995 to 2015 with 14% involving lung and 5% head and neck cancer patients. A total of 19 studies reported baseline tobacco use; 2 reported collecting follow-up tobacco use. Seven studies reported analysis of the impact of baseline tobacco use on clinical outcomes. There was significant heterogeneity in the reporting of baseline tobacco use: 7 reported never/ever status, 10 reported never/ex-smoker/current smoker status, and 4 reported measuring smoking intensity. None reported verifying smoking status or second-hand smoke exposure. Trials of lung and head and neck cancers were more likely to report baseline tobacco use than other disease sites (83% versus 6%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Few cancer cooperative group clinical trials report and analyze trial participants' tobacco use. Significant heterogeneity exists in reporting tobacco use. Routine standardized collection and reporting of tobacco use at baseline and follow-up in clinical trials should be implemented to enable investigators to evaluate the impact of tobacco use on new cancer therapies.

Abstract
Infection following open fracture is a significant source of morbidity and mortality. Therefore, a central tenet of treatment is to minimize the risk of infection. The initial risk of infection is determined by wound characteristics, such as size, soft tissue coverage, vascular injury, and contamination. While no consensus exists on optimal antibiotic regimen, early administration of prophylactic antibiotics, within an hour of injury, when possible, has been shown definitively to decrease the risk of infection. Infection risk is further reduced by early irrigation with normal saline and aggressive debridement of devitalized tissue. Patient factors that increase risk of infection following open fracture include diabetes mellitus, smoking, male gender, and lower extremity fracture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Smoking increases risk of several complications after total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA), so we systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed the literature to take into account all relevant evidence, particularly studies published since 2010. METHODS The PubMed, Ovid Embase, Web of Science, and EBSCOHost databases were searched and studies were selected and analyzed according to MOOSE recommendations. Methodological quality of included studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Data were qualitatively synthesized or meta-analyzed using a random-effects model. RESULTS A total of 40 studies involving 3,037,683 cases were included. Qualitative analysis suggested that smoking is associated with worse patient-reported outcomes within one year after surgery, and meta-analysis showed that smoking significantly increased risk of the following outcomes: total complications (OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.01-1.98), wound complications (OR 1.77, 95% CI 1.50-2.10), prosthetic joint infection (OR 1.84, 95% CI 1.52-2.24), aseptic loosening (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.12-2.34), revision (OR 2.12, 95% CI 1.46-3.08), cardiac arrest (OR 4.90, 95% CI 2.26-10.60), cerebrovascular accident (OR 2.22, 95% CI 1.01-4.85), pneumonia (OR 2.35, 95% CI 1.17-4.74), acute renal insufficiency (OR 2.01, 95% CI 1.48-2.73), sepsis (OR 4.35, 95% CI 1.35-14.00), inpatient mortality (OR 12.37, 95% CI 4.46-34.28), and persistent opioid consumption (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.39-1.92). CONCLUSION Smoking patients undergoing THA and TKA are at increased risk of numerous complications, inpatient mortality, persistent opioid consumption, and worse 1-year patient-reported outcomes. Pre-surgical protocols for these outcomes should give special consideration to smoking patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Perioperative smoking is the main risk factor for the development of postoperative cutaneous wound healing complications. We require that all patients undergoing elective foot and ankle surgery stop smoking (6 weeks before and 3 months after) and this abstinence is monitored with a preoperative cotinine test. We therefore wanted to understand how this impacted wound healing in elective foot and ankle surgery: do wounds heal differently in patients who quit smoking for surgery, former smokers and nonsmokers? HYPOTHESIS Our hypothesis was that patients who stopped smoking for an upcoming surgery had the same wound healing complications as nonsmokers and former smokers. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a historical, single-center, single-surgeon cohort study of adult patients who underwent an elective ankle or foot surgery between June 2016 and July 2017. Patients were divided into 3 groups: group 1 smokers who stopped for surgery, group 2 former smokers, and group 3 nonsmokers. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of wound healing complications during the wound care consult scheduled 3 weeks after surgery. RESULTS A total of 256 patients with a mean age of 58±14.2 years (range, 18-88) were included. Group 3 had more women and a lower BMI than the other groups, but all the other demographic characteristics were similar. Smoking cessation was achieved in group 1 on average 2.5±1.3 months (range, 1-6) before surgery. There were a total of 20 wound healing complications or 7.5% of the cohort: 13% in group 1, 11.1% in group 2 and 6.4% in group 3. The univariate analysis found that the odds ratio was 2.3 when comparing Group 1 to Group 3 and 1.85 when comparing group 2 to group 3 (p=413). No significant risk factors for wound healing complications were found. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Smoking cessation for foot and ankle surgery seems to limit the risk of wound healing complications, with results close to those of former smokers and nonsmokers. Mandatory smoking cessation before surgery could be one of the solutions to prevent this frequent complication. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
Introduction The devastating outcome of orthopaedic surgical site infections (SSI) are largely preventable if its risk factors, causative organisms and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns in the regional area are known. Materials and methods We conducted a retrospective study to address the lack of epidemiological and microbiological data on orthopaedic SSI in Malaysia. All the 80 patients diagnosed and treated for microbiologically proven orthopaedic SSIs in a tertiary hospital in Malaysia from April 2015 to March 2019 were included in a 1:2 case control study. Results The prevalence of SSI in clean and clean-contaminated surgeries was 1.243%, which is consistent with most of the studies worldwide, but is low compared to other studies done in Malaysia. The most common type of orthopaedics SSI were internal fixation infections (46.25%), superficial SSIs (25.2%) and Prosthetic joint infections (18.75%). Obesity and tobacco use were found to be significant risk factors of orthopaedic SSI. The most common perioperative prophylaxis used was IV cefuroxime. Majority of the cases (86.5%) received prolonged prophylactic antibiotics. The most common causative agent was Staphylococcus aureus (31.25%), followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (26.25%) and Enterobacter spp (7.5%). Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) accounted for 20% of the S. aureus infections. Up to 19.4% of the Gram-negative organisms are multidrug resistant. The higher rate of isolation of organisms resistant to the prophylactic antibiotics being used may be related to the prolonged use of prophylactic antibiotics, which exerted selective pressure for the acquisition of resistant organisms. Conclusion Despite its relatively low prevalence in our local institution and worldwide, the prevention of SSI in orthopaedic practice is crucial to avoid morbidity, mortality and high healthcare cost. This may be achieved by control of modifiable risk factors such as obesity and tobacco use, appropriate use of prophylactic antibiotics and implementation of good surgical and infection control practices.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES There is a gap in knowledge about the effects of smoking on overall infection risk in otherwise healthy populations, possibly leading to underestimation of the dangers of smoking. The present study aimed to examine the association of smoking with the risk of infections in a large cohort of healthy blood donors. METHODS This cohort study used questionnaire and health register data from 127 831 Danish blood donors. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards analysis was applied to estimate the association of current smoking with the risk of all-cause infection defined as hospital-based treatment for infection or filled prescriptions of antimicrobials stratified for age and adjusted for relevant confounders. RESULTS Among 18 272 current smokers, 12 272 filled an antimicrobial prescription and 2035 received hospital-based treatment for infections. Among 101 974 non-smokers, 65 117 filled a prescription and 8501 received hospital-based treatment for infections. Smokers had a higher risk of all-cause infection than non-smokers (hazard ratio estimates were 1.27 in males and 1.33 in females for hospital-based treatment and 1.11 in males and up to 1.20 in females for filled prescriptions). Smoking was most strongly associated with an increased incidence of respiratory tract infection, abscesses, skin infection, and prescriptions for these ailments (hazard ratio up to 2.29). Furthermore, smokers' risk of filled prescriptions of broad-spectrum penicillin was increased (hazard ratio up to 1.96). CONCLUSIONS Current smoking was strongly associated with the risk of hospital-based treatment of infection and filled prescriptions of antimicrobials in a large cohort of healthy individuals. These findings warrant an increased focus on infectious disease risk among smokers.

Abstract
Background Hand-assisted laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (HALDN) is widely performed to minimize burden on living kidney donors. However, hand port-site infections after HALDN may occur. This study aimed to assess the impact of donor characteristics including preoperative comorbidities and operative factors on hand port-site infection after HALDN. Methods In this single-center, retrospective cohort study, 1,260 consecutive HALDNs for living-donor kidney transplantation performed between January 2008 and December 2021 were evaluated. All living donors met the living kidney donor guidelines in Japan. Hand port-site infections were identified in 88 HALDN cases (7.0%). To investigate risk factors for hand port-site infection, donor characteristics including preoperative comorbidities such as hypertension, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, obesity, and operative factors such as operative duration, blood loss, preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis, and prophylactic subcutaneous suction drain placement at the hand port-site were analyzed using logistic regression analysis. Results In the multivariate analysis, significant differences were identified regarding sex (P = 0.021; odds ratio [OR], 1.971; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.108-3.507), preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis (P < 0.001; OR, 0.037; 95% CI [0.011-0.127]), and prophylactic subcutaneous suction drain placement at the hand port-site (P = 0.041; OR, 2.005; 95% CI [1.029-3.907]). However, a significant difference was not identified regarding glucose intolerance (P = 0.572; OR, 1.148; 95% CI [0.711-1.856]). Preoperative comorbidities may not cause hand port-site infections within the donors who meet the living kidney donor guidelines. Preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis is crucial in preventing hand port-site infection, whereas prophylactic subcutaneous suction drain placement may increase the risk of hand port-site infection.

Abstract
Tobacco use will kill a projected 1 billion people in the 21st century in one of the deadliest pandemics in history. Tobacco use disorder is a disease with a natural history, pathophysiology, and effective treatment options. Anesthesiologists can play a unique role in fighting this pandemic, providing both immediate (reduction in perioperative risk) and long-term (reduction in tobacco-related diseases) benefits to their patients who are its victims. Receiving surgery is one of the most powerful stimuli to quit tobacco. Tobacco treatments that combine counseling and pharmacotherapy (e.g., nicotine replacement therapy) can further increase quit rates and reduce risk of morbidity such as pulmonary and wound-related complications. The perioperative setting provides a great opportunity to implement multimodal perianesthesia tobacco treatment, which combines multiple evidence-based tactics to implement the four core components of consistent ascertainment and documentation of tobacco use, advice to quit, access to pharmacotherapy, and referral to counseling resources.

Abstract
Various local and systemic factors compromise oral wound healing and may lead to wound dehiscence, inflammation, or ulcers. Currently, there is a lack of topical therapeutical options. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the effect of Aloe vera (AV) and Rheum palmatum root (RPR) on oral wound healing capacity in vitro. The effect of AV and RPR on human primary fibroblast viability and migration was studied by measuring metabolic activity and gap closure in a scratch assay. Furthermore, cell cycle distribution and cytoskeletal features were analyzed. Antimicrobial activity against the oral pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis was evaluated by broth microdilution assay. AV and RPR increased fibroblast migration after single agent treatment. Synergistic effects of the plant extract combination were observed regarding cellular migration which were confirmed by calculation of the phenomenological combination index (pCI), whereas the cell cycle distribution was not influenced. Furthermore, the combination of AV and RPR showed synergistic antibacterial effects as determined by the fractional inhibitory concentration index. This study demonstrated that the combination of AV and RPR can promote the migration of human primary fibroblasts in vitro and exert antimicrobial efficacy against P. gingivalis, suggesting these compounds for the topical treatment of wound healing disorders.

Abstract
Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infection is an increasingly common complication of device therapy. CIED infection confers significant patient morbidity and health care expenditure, hence it is essential that clinicians recognise the contemporary strategies for predicting, reducing and treating these events. Recent technological advances-in particular, the development of antimicrobial envelopes, leadless devices and validated risk scores-present decision-makers with novel strategies for managing this expanding patient population. This review summarises the key issues facing CIED patients and their physicians, and explores the supporting evidence for the latest therapeutic developments in this field.

Abstract
Head and neck reconstruction with microvascular free flaps is frequently performed in smokers. Smoking causes various alterations in the cardiovascular system. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of smoking on flap perfusion as a critical factor for flap survival. A total of 370 patients reconstructed with a radial free forearm flap (RFFF) or anterolateral thigh flap (ALTF) in the head and neck region between 2011 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Flap perfusion measurements with the O2C tissue oxygen analysis system were compared between nonsmokers, light smokers (< 20 pack-years), and heavy smokers (≥ 20 pack-years). The blood flow was intraoperatively equal in RFFFs (84.5 AU vs. 84.5 AU; p = 0.900) and increased in ALTFs (80.5 AU vs. 56.5 AU; p = 0.001) and postoperatively increased in RFFFs (114.0 AU vs. 86.0 AU; p = 0.035) and similar in ALTFs (70.5 AU vs. 71.0 AU; p = 0.856) in heavy smokers compared to nonsmokers. The flap survival rate was similar in nonsmokers, light smokers, and heavy smokers (97.3%, 98.4%, and 100.0%). Smoking partially increases rather than decreases microvascular free flap perfusion, which may contribute to similar flap survival rates in smokers and nonsmokers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In breast reconstruction surgeries, surgical wound dehiscence is a serious complication which generates a significant burden on patients and healthcare systems. There are indications that postoperative treatment with closed incision negative pressure therapy (ciNPT) has been associated with reduced wound dehiscence rates. This randomized clinical trial examines the effect of ciNPT application on abdominal donor site surgical wound dehiscence in low- and high-risk patients undergoing a breast reconstruction with a deep internal epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap. METHODS Eighty eligible women, stratified as low- or high-risk patients, were included and were randomized for treatment with either ciNPT or adhesive strips (AS) by drawing sealed, opaque envelopes. All surgeons were kept blind for allocation. Primary outcomes were surgical wound dehiscence and surgical site infection at the abdominal donor site upon follow-up after 12 weeks. Secondary outcomes were seroma and hematoma formation. Five patients were excluded from the study due to non-sufficient exposure to the study treatment (n=4) or major protocol deviation (n=1). RESULTS A total of 75 women, low-risk (n=38) and high-risk (n=37), received either ciNPT (n=36) or AS (n=39). Patients' demographics did not differ significantly. Donor-site surgical wound dehiscence occurred in 23 patients; the Absolute Risk Reduction was statistically significant (21.6%, 95% Confidence Interval [1.5-41.7]). No statistically significant differences were found in surgical site infection or secondary outcomes. CONCLUSIONS In this randomized clinical trial, postoperative treatment with ciNPT decreased the incidence of surgical wound dehiscence at the abdominal donor site in low- and high-risk DIEP flap breast reconstruction patients.

Abstract
To present our 12-year experience using an endoscopic approach to manage bladder neck contracture (BNC) without adjunctive intralesional agents and compare it to published series not incorporating them, we retrospectively reviewed 123 patients treated for BNC from 2008 to 2020. All underwent 24 Fr balloon dilation followed by transurethral incision of BNC (TUIBNC) with deep incisions at 3 and 9 o’clock using a Collins knife without the use of intralesional injections. Success was defined as a patent bladder neck and 16 Fr cystoscope passage into the bladder two months later. Most with recurrent BNC underwent repeat TUIBNC. Success rates, demographics, and BNC characteristics were analyzed. The etiology of BNC in our cohort was most commonly radical prostatectomy with or without radiation (36/123, 29.3%, 40/123, 32.5%). Some had BNC treatment prior to referral (30/123, 24.4%). At 12-month follow-up, bladder neck patency was observed in 101/123 (82.1%) after one TUIBNC. An additional 15 patients (116/123, 94.3%) had success after two TUIBNCs. On univariate and multivariate analyses, ≥2 endoscopic treatments was the only factor associated with failure. TUIBNC via balloon dilation and deep bilateral incisions without the use of adjunctive intralesional injections has a high patency rate. History of two or more prior endoscopic procedures is associated with failure.

Abstract
Cigarette smoking is associated with surgical complications, including wound healing and surgical site infection. However, the association between smoking status and postoperative wound complications is not completely understood. Our objective was to investigate the effect of smoking on postoperative wound complications for major surgeries. Data were collected from the 2013 to 2018 participant use files of the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. A propensity score matching procedure was used to create the balanced smoker and nonsmoker groups. Multivariable logistic regression was used to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for postoperative wound complications, pulmonary complications, and in-hospital mortality associated with smokers. A total of 1 156 002 patients (578 001 smokers and 578 001 nonsmokers) were included in the propensity score matching analysis. Smoking was associated with a significantly increased risk of postoperative wound disruption (OR 1.65, 95% CI 1.56-1.75), surgical site infection (OR 1.31, 95% CI 1.28-1.34), reintubation (OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.40-1.54), and in-hospital mortality (OR 1.13, 95% CI 1.07-1.19) compared with nonsmoking. The length of hospital stay was significantly increased in smokers compared with nonsmokers. Our analysis indicates that smoking is associated with an increased risk of surgical site infection, wound disruption, and postoperative pulmonary complications. The results may drive the clinicians to encourage patients to quit smoking before surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The current literature on the complications and risk factors of autologous fat grafting (AFG) for breast augmentation is scant and inconclusive. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to use a large, multicenter database to determine the major complications and risk factors of patients undergoing breast augmentation with AFG in comparison to breast augmentation with implants. METHODS Patients undergoing breast augmentation with AFG as well as with implants between January 2, 2017 and July 31, 2019 were identified from the CosmetAssure database (Birmingham, AL). The primary outcome was the occurrence of major complication(s) requiring emergency department visit, hospital admission, or reoperation within 45 days postoperatively. Age, gender, BMI, smoking, diabetes, facility, ASA class, and anesthetic type were evaluated as risk factors. RESULTS Among the 76,128 patients enrolled in CosmetAssure, 789 (1.0%) underwent breast augmentation with AFG, in comparison to 18,544 (24.3%) patients with implants. The incidence of any major complication in the AFG cohort and implant cohort was 3.2% and 2.3%, respectively. Infection was significantly higher in the AFG cohort (1.1% vs 0.5%). Tobacco users were more likely to have any complication, infection, and pulmonary dysfunction/hypoxia on univariate analysis. ASA Class III/IV was more likely to have any complication and infection. On multivariate analysis, smoking was an independent risk factor for any complication (relative risk = 17.1) and infection (relative risk = 20.2). CONCLUSIONS Infection and hematoma are the most common major complications in breast augmentation with AFG. Tobacco use is the only independent risk factor for overall complications and infection. Breast augmentation with AFG has a higher infection rate than augmentation with implants. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4

Abstract
Machine-learning based risk prediction models have the potential to improve patient outcomes by assessing risk more accurately than clinicians. Significant additional value lies in these models providing feedback about the factors that amplify an individual patient's risk. Identification of risk factors enables more informed decisions on interventions to mitigate or ameliorate modifiable factors. For these reasons, risk prediction models must be explainable and grounded on medical knowledge. Current machine learning-based risk prediction models are frequently 'black-box' models whose inner workings cannot be understood easily, making it difficult to define risk drivers. Since machine learning models follow patterns in the data rather than looking for medically relevant relationships, possible risk factors identified by these models do not necessarily translate into actionable insights for clinicians. Here, we use the example of risk assessment for postoperative complications to demonstrate how explainable and medically grounded risk prediction models can be developed. Pre- and postoperative risk prediction models are trained based on clinically relevant inputs extracted from electronic medical record data. We show that these models have similar predictive performance as models that incorporate a wider range of inputs and explain the models' decision-making process by visualizing how different model inputs and their values affect the models' predictions.

Relationship between smoking and postoperative complications of cervical spine surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Sci Rep 2022; 12:9172. [PMID: 35654928 PMCID: PMC9163175 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-13198-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2021] [Accepted: 05/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
To determine whether smoking has adverse effects on postoperative complications following spine cervical surgery (PROSPERO 2021: CRD42021269648). We searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science through 13 July 2021 for cohort and case–control studies that investigated the effect of smoking on postoperative complications after cervical spine surgery. Two researchers independently screened the studies and extracted data according to the selection criteria. The meta-analysis included 43 studies, including 27 case–control studies and 16 cohort studies, with 10,020 patients. Pooled estimates showed that smoking was associated with overall postoperative complications (effect estimate [ES] = 1.99, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.62–2.44, p < 0.0001), respiratory complications (ES = 2.70, 95% CI: 1.62–4.49, p < 0.0001), reoperation (ES = 2.06, 95% CI: 1.50–2.81, p < 0.0001), dysphagia (ES = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.06–2.10, p = 0.022), wound infection (ES = 3.21, 95% CI: 1.62–6.36, p = 0.001), and axial neck pain (ES = 1.98, 95% CI: 1.25–3.12, p = 0.003). There were no significant differences between the smoking and nonsmoking groups in terms of fusion (ES = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.94–1.00, p = 0.0097), operation time (weighted mean difference [WMD] = 0.08, 95% CI: −5.54 to 5.71, p = 0.977), estimated blood loss (WMD = −5.31, 95% CI: −148.83 to 139.22, p = 0.943), length of hospital stay (WMD = 1.01, 95% CI: −2.17 to 4.20, p = 0.534), Visual Analog Scale-neck pain score (WMD = −0.19, 95% CI: −1.19 to 0.81, p = 0.707), Visual Analog Scale-arm pain score (WMD = −0.50, 95% CI: −1.53 to 0.53, p = 0.343), Neck Disability Index score (WMD = 11.46, 95% CI: −3.83 to 26.76, p = 0.142), or Japanese Orthopedic Association Scores (WMD = −1.75, 95% CI: −5.27 to 1.78, p = 0.332). Compared with nonsmokers, smokers seem to be more significantly associated with overall complications, respiratory complications, reoperation, longer hospital stay, dysphagia, wound infection and axial neck pain after cervical spine surgery. It is essential to provide timely smoking cessation advice and explanation to patients before elective cervical spine surgery.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective database study. OBJECTIVE Tobacco use is associated with complications after surgical procedures, including poor wound healing, surgical site infections, and cardiovascular events. We used the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) to determine if tobacco use is associated with increased 30- and 90-day readmission among patients undergoing surgery for degenerative spine disorders. METHODS Patients who underwent elective spine surgery were identified in the NRD from 2010 to 2014. The study population included patients with degenerative spine disorders treated with discectomy, fusion, or decompression. Descriptive and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify patient and hospital factors associated with 30- and 90-day readmission, with significance set at P value <.001. RESULTS Within 30 days, 4.8% of patients were readmitted at a median time of 9 days. The most common reasons for 30-day readmission were postoperative infection (12.5%), septicemia (3.5%), and postoperative pain (3.0%). Within 90 days, 7.3% were readmitted at a median time of 18 days. The most common reasons for 90-day readmission were postoperative infection (9.6%), septicemia (3.5%), and pneumonia (2.3%). After adjustment for patient and hospital characteristics, tobacco use was independently associated with readmission at 90 days (odds ratio 1.05, 95% confidence interval 1.03-1.07, P < .0001) but not 30 days (odds ratio 1.02, 95% confidence interval 1.00-1.05, P = .045). CONCLUSIONS Tobacco use is associated with readmission within 90 days after cervical and thoracolumbar spine surgery for degenerative disease. Tobacco use is a known risk factor for adverse health events and therefore should be considered when selecting patients for spine surgery.

Abstract
Significance: An understanding of the physiology of wound healing and scarring is necessary to minimize surgical scar formation. By reducing tension across the healing wound, eliminating excess inflammation and infection, and encouraging perfusion to healing areas, surgeons can support healing and minimize scarring. Recent Advances: Preoperatively, newer techniques focused on incision placement to minimize tension, skin sterilization to minimize infection and inflammation, and control of comorbid factors to promote a healing process with minimal scarring are constantly evolving. Intraoperatively, measures like layered closure, undermining, and tissue expansion can be taken to relieve tension across the healing wound. Appropriate suture technique and selection should be considered, and finally, there are new surgical technologies available to reduce tension across the closure. Postoperatively, the healing process can be supported as proliferation and remodeling take place within the wound. A balance of moisture control, tension reduction, and infection prevention can be achieved with dressings, ointments, and silicone. Vitamins and corticosteroids can also affect the scarring process by modulating the cellular factors involved in healing. Critical Issues: Healing with no or minimal scarring is the ultimate goal of wound healing research. Understanding how mechanical tension, inflammation and infection, and perfusion and hypoxia impact profibrotic pathways allows for the development of therapies that can modulate cytokine response and the wound extracellular microenvironment to reduce fibrosis and scarring. Future Directions: New tension-off loading topical treatments, laser, and dermabrasion devices are under development, and small molecule therapeutics have demonstrated scarless wound healing in animal models, providing a promising new direction for future research aimed to minimize surgical scarring.

Abstract
The moist healing theory proves that a moderately moist and airtight environment is conducive to wound healing. However, different moist dressings have different functions. We aim to evaluate the effects of moist dressings on wound healing after surgical suturing and identify superior moist dressings. Randomised controlled trials investigating the application of moist dressings were retrieved from electronic databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. Wound healing, surgical site infection (SSI), and times of dressing change were assessed. The values of the surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) curve were calculated based on the Bayesian network meta-analysis. Inconsistency tests and funnel plots were applied to analyse the consistency and publication bias. All the analysis complies with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) 2020 Checklist and AMSTAR (Assessing the Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews) Guidelines. Sixteen randomised controlled trials involving 4444 patients were pooled in the network meta-analysis. The ionic silver dressing (SUCRA, 93%) ranked first in wound healing, the metallic silver dressing (SUCRA, 75.9%) ranked first in SSI, and the hydrocolloid dressing (SUCRA, 73.9%) ranked first in times of dressing change. Inconsistency was only observed in wound healing, and no publication bias was observed in this study. The effects of moist dressings are better than gauze dressings in the process of wound healing. The ionic silver dressing is effective in wound healing, whereas the metallic silver dressing is effective in SSI prevention. The hydrocolloid dressing requires the fewest times of dressing change. More high-quality RCTs are required to support the network meta-analysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify items and develop a surgical wound assessment tool (SWAT) to measure progress in healing and early detection of risk factors for delayed healing in surgical wounds in patients in Vietnam. METHOD The development process included two phases: (i) development of the initial SWAT based on evidence-based guidelines, results of a literature review and consultation with surgeons; and (ii) a Delphi process with wound care nurse experts to refine and provide consensus on a final version of the SWAT. Data collection took place between April-August 2017. RESULTS In phase one, 22 items were included and were evaluated by ten Vietnamese surgeons, with item-content validity index (I-CVI) scores of 1.00 in 17 out of 22 items. The remaining items had I-CVI ranking of 0.8 to 0.9. The overall scale-content validity index was 0.97. Eight more items were recommended for inclusion, increasing the total to 30 items. In phase two, 21 Vietnamese nurse wound care experts completed all three rounds of the Delphi process. After three rounds, 24 items out of 30 reached full consensus for the final tool. CONCLUSION This study was the first step to confirm the content validity of the newly developed SWAT. Further development of the tool including the evaluation of validity and reliability was undertaken to strengthen the tool.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate medical conditions and systemic therapies associated with orbital implant exposure in patients with anophthalmic sockets. METHODS Retrospective review of patients who underwent enucleation or evisceration at a single centre between January 1, 2008 and March 1, 2018. Medical comorbidities, including peripheral or coronary artery disease, rheumatologic conditions, diabetes, malignancy and history of smoking were recorded. Use of immunomodulatory and anticoagulation therapy at the time of eye removal was noted. Patients were divided into two groups-those with implant exposure and those without. Univariate and multivariate analysis was used to compare groups. RESULTS Two hundred and twenty-nine patients underwent eye removal surgery over a ten-year period. Implant exposure was seen in 20 (8.7%) patients. Univariate analysis revealed a statistically significant difference between groups in rates of smoking, malignancy, and immunomodulatory therapy at the time of surgery. A history of smoking (HR = 11.72; 95% CI: 2.95, 46.53; p = 0.0001) and immunomodulatory therapy (HR = 8.02; 95% CI: 1.96, 32.87; p = 0.004) were independent predictors of exposure. The probability of exposure was 81.2% when all three risk factors were present versus 4.4% when none were present (c-index = 0.737, 95% CI: 0.608, 0.865; p < 0.001). The model was a good fit to the data (Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test p = 0.475). CONCLUSIONS Smoking and immunomodulatory therapy were associated with orbital implant exposure in patients with anophthalmic sockets. This is the first report examining medical comorbidities in patients with orbital implant exposure. Understanding the pathophysiology of implant exposure is crucial to preoperative planning and postoperative care.

Abstract
The introduction of video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) techniques has led to a new approach in thoracic surgery. VATS is performed by inserting a thoracoscope through a small incisions in the chest wall, thus maximizing the preservation of muscle and tissue. Because of its low rate of morbidity and mortality, VATS is currently the technique of choice in most thoracic procedures. Lung resection by VATS reduces prolonged air leaks, arrhythmia, pneumonia, postoperative pain and inflammatory markers. This reduction in postoperative complications shortens hospital length of stay, and is particularly beneficial in high-risk patients with low tolerance to thoracotomy. Compared with conventional thoracotomy, the oncological results of VATS surgery are similar or even superior to those of open surgery. This aim of this multidisciplinary position statement produced by the thoracic surgery working group of the Spanish Society of Anesthesiology and Reanimation (SEDAR), the Spanish Society of Thoracic Surgery (SECT), and the Spanish Association of Physiotherapy (AEF) is to standardize and disseminate a series of perioperative anaesthesia management guidelines for patients undergoing VATS lung resection surgery. Each recommendation is based on an in-depth review of the available literature by the authors. In this document, the care of patients undergoing VATS surgery is organized in sections, starting with the surgical approach, and followed by the three pillars of anaesthesia management: preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative anaesthesia.

Abstract
Background Delayed bleeding is an important adverse event after gastric endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). We aimed to externally validate the Bleeding after ESD Trend from Japan (BEST-J) score and subsequently develop a risk prediction model for bleeding in Chinese patients with early gastric cancer (EGC) after ESD. Methods The clinical data of patients who underwent ESD for EGC in Beijing Friendship Hospital from June 2013 to December 2019 were collected retrospectively. The BEST-J score was evaluated according to the clinical data. Through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses of the clinical data, the factors affecting delayed bleeding were identified, and a new risk prediction model for bleeding was established. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the predictive value of the two prediction models. Results A total of 444 patients with EGC undergoing ESD were included, of whom 27 patients had delayed bleeding (6.1%). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that a history of smoking (P = 0.029), tumor size > 20 mm (P = 0.022), intraoperative use of hemoclips (P = 0.025), resection of multiple tumors (P = 0.027), and prolongation of activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) (P = 0.020) were independent influencing factors for delayed bleeding. ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curves (AUCs) were different between the BEST-J score and the newly built prediction model (0.624 vs. 0.749, P = 0.012). Conclusions The BEST-J score has moderately good discrimination for Chinese patients with EGC. However, for patients with EGC without severe comorbidities, the new risk prediction model may predict delayed bleeding better than the BEST-J score. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12876-022-02273-2.

Enhanced recovery after surgery multimodality pain regimen performs similar to PRN narcotics on outcomes and pain control after cardiac surgery: A quality improvement project. J Card Surg 2022; 37:1520-1527. [PMID: 35352395 DOI: 10.1111/jocs.16458] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2021] [Revised: 02/08/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND While enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways have been successfully applied for cardiac surgery, there has been limited research directly comparing ERAS protocols to ad hoc narcotic use after surgery. We hypothesized that a standardized ERAS protocol would provide similar pain management and psychoemotional outcomes while decreasing the use of opioids in the hospital and after discharge. METHODS As part of a 7-month quality improvement project, cardiac surgery patients on a fast-tracked to extubate pathway were assigned pro re nata (PRN) narcotic pain management for 3 months (n = 49). After a 1-month ERAS protocol optimization period, a separate group of patients were given the ERAS protocol (n = 34). Clinical outcomes were gathered, and participants completed a quality of recovery survey that allowed for the assessment of pain and symptom control at four-time points after surgery. RESULTS Among 83 participants, 66% were male and the mean age was 53 years. There were no differences in patient characteristics between PRN and ERAS groups (all p > .244). There were no differences between ERAS and PRN groups for surgery characteristics (all p > .060), inpatient outcomes (all p > .658), or after-discharge outcomes (all p > .397). Furthermore, across all time-point comparisons, there were no supported differences in patient-reported outcome and pain control between the ERAS and PRN narcotic groups (all p > .075). CONCLUSIONS An ERAS protocol demonstrated similar patient outcomes and pain control to traditional opioid use for postoperative cardiac surgery patients. Further research is recommended to further confirm the results of this study.

Patient-dependent risk factors for wound infection after skin surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Int Wound J 2022; 19:1748-1757.

Abstract
Postoperative wound infection in dermatologic surgery causes impaired wound healing, poor cosmetic outcome and increased morbidity. Patients with a high‐risk profile may benefit from perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis. The objective of this systematic review was to identify risk factors for surgical site infection after dermatologic surgery. In this article, we report findings on patient‐dependent risk factors. The literature search included MEDLINE, EMBASE, CENTRAL and trial registers. We performed meta‐analysis, if studies reported sufficient data to calculate risk ratios with 95% confidence intervals. Study quality was assessed according to the Newcastle‐Ottawa‐Scale. Seventeen observational studies that analysed 31213 surgical wounds were eligible for inclusion. Fourteen studies qualified for meta‐analysis. Nine studies showed good, three fair and five poor methodological quality. The reported incidence of surgical site infection ranged from 0.96% to 8.70%. Meta‐analysis yielded that male gender and immunosuppression were significantly associated with higher infection rates. There was a tendency towards a higher infection risk for patients with diabetes, without statistical significance. Meta‐analysis did not show different infection rates after excision of squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma, but studies were substantially heterogenous. There was no significant association between risk for wound infection and smoking, age over 60 years, oral anti‐aggregation or anti‐coagulation or excision of malignant melanoma. In conclusion, the risk for surgical site infection in dermatologic surgery is low. Infection rates were increased significantly in male as well as immunosuppressed patients and non‐significantly in diabetics.
