Abstract
BACKGROUND Incisional hernias cause morbidity and may require further surgery. HART (Hughes Abdominal Repair Trial) assessed the effect of an alternative suture method on the incidence of incisional hernia following colorectal cancer surgery. METHODS A pragmatic multicentre single-blind RCT allocated patients undergoing midline incision for colorectal cancer to either Hughes closure (double far-near-near-far sutures of 1 nylon suture at 2-cm intervals along the fascia combined with conventional mass closure) or the surgeon's standard closure. The primary outcome was the incidence of incisional hernia at 1 year assessed by clinical examination. An intention-to-treat analysis was performed. RESULTS Between August 2014 and February 2018, 802 patients were randomized to either Hughes closure (401) or the standard mass closure group (401). At 1 year after surgery, 672 patients (83.7 per cent) were included in the primary outcome analysis; 50 of 339 patients (14.8 per cent) in the Hughes group and 57 of 333 (17.1 per cent) in the standard closure group had incisional hernia (OR 0.84, 95 per cent c.i. 0.55 to 1.27; P = 0.402). At 2 years, 78 patients (28.7 per cent) in the Hughes repair group and 84 (31.8 per cent) in the standard closure group had incisional hernia (OR 0.86, 0.59 to 1.25; P = 0.429). Adverse events were similar in the two groups, apart from the rate of surgical-site infection, which was higher in the Hughes group (13.2 versus 7.7 per cent; OR 1.82, 1.14 to 2.91; P = 0.011). CONCLUSION The incidence of incisional hernia after colorectal cancer surgery is high. There was no statistical difference in incidence between Hughes closure and mass closure at 1 or 2 years.

Right ventricular outflow tract reintervention after primary tetralogy of Fallot repair in neonates and young infants. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2017; 155:726-734.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the outcomes following primary tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair in neonates and young infants with pulmonary stenosis (PS) and pulmonary atresia and compare differences in reintervention on the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) among those undergoing valve sparing repair (VSR), transannular RVOT patch (TAP), and right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery (RV-PA) conduit surgeries. METHODS Data were collected retrospectively in 101 patients who underwent TOF repair over a 10-year period between January 2005 and September 2015. The primary endpoint was reintervention on the RVOT, defined as a surgical procedure or cardiac catheterization-based RVOT reintervention. RESULTS Forty-three patients had TOF/PS, of whom 24 (56%) underwent TAP and 19 (44%) underwent VSR. Fifty-eight patients had TOF/PA, 14 (24%) underwent TAP and 44 (76%) underwent RV-PA conduit repair. Overall patient mortality was 2.9% (3 of 101). Thirty-three patients underwent surgical reintervention, and 52 underwent catheterization-based reintervention. Patients with TOF/PA who underwent RV-PA conduit repair had a higher surgical reintervention rate than those who underwent TAP (45% vs 21%). Patients with TOF/PSs undergoing VSR with a lower median birth weight (2.5 kg vs 3.7 kg) required more surgical reintervention. CONCLUSIONS Neonatal TOF repair can be performed with low mortality but frequent RVOT reinterventions. Surgical reintervention is earlier and the rate is higher among patients with TOF/PA undergoing RV-PA conduit repair compared with those undergoing TAP. Although there were no overall differences in RVOT reintervention rate between patients with TOF/PS undergoing VSR and those undergoing TAP, a lower birth weight in the patients undergoing VSR is associated with a higher surgical reintervention rate.

Anomalous Aortic Origin of a Coronary Artery: Symptoms Do Not Correlate With Intramural Length or Ostial Diameter. World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg 2017; 8:445-452.

Abstract
Background: Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) is a known cause of sudden death. Our hypothesis was that longer intramural length and smaller ostial diameter correlate with preoperative symptoms. If true, this would assist in the decision for surgical indications. We also assessed the accuracy of preoperative imaging to predict intramural length. Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients who underwent AAOCA unroofing from 2006 to 2014. Patients had preoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Intramural length was measured. Intramural lengths and ostial diameters were also measured intraoperatively (operating room [OR]). Symptoms were noted. Intramural lengths and ostial diameters were compared between patients with and without preoperative symptoms. The accuracy of intramural length measured by CTA/MRI versus the length measured in the OR was assessed using a Bland-Altman analysis. Results: Sixty-six patients underwent surgical repair of AAOCA. Fifty-two (79%) patients were symptomatic and 14 (21%) were asymptomatic. Mean age was 12.4 ± 4.0 years. There was no mortality. There was strong agreement between intramural length measured by CTA/MRI and measured in the OR. There was no significant difference in AAOCA intramural length in the symptomatic (8.6 ± 3.5 mm) and asymptomatic (8.9 ± 2.8 mm, P = .77) patients, which were measured both by CTA/MRI and intraoperatively (symptomatic 7.3 ± 2.5 mm, asymptomatic 6.9 ± 2.8 mm; P = .62). There was also no significant difference in AAOCA ostial diameters between groups (symptomatic = 1.9 ± 0.5 mm, asymptomatic = 1.6 ± 0.5 mm; P = .09). Conclusion: Preoperative CTA/MRI was very accurate in predicting the length of surgical unroofing. There was no demonstrable correlation between preoperative symptoms and intramural AAOCA length or AAOCA ostial diameter.
