Abstract

Purpose

This study sought to assess the disparity between regions and facilities in surgical resident training in Japan via a national level needs-assessment.

Methods

A survey was sent to all 909 graduating residents of 2016. Residents trained in the six prefectures with a population of 7 million or more were included in the large prefecture (LP) group. Residents trained in the other 41 prefectures were included in the small prefecture (SP) group. Each group was further divided into a university hospital (UH) group and a non-university hospital (NUH) group.

Results

The response rate was 56.3% (n = 512). Excluding nine residents who did not report their prefectures and facilities, surveys from 503 residents were analyzed. The UH group received significantly more years of training. In the SP and UH groups, there were significantly fewer residents who had performed 150 procedures or more under general anesthesia in comparison to the LP and NUH groups, respectively. Self-assessed competencies for several procedures were significantly lower in the SP and UH groups.

Conclusion

Disparity in surgical resident training was found between regions and facilities in Japan. The surgical residency curriculum in Japan could be improved to address this problem.

Neu im Fachgebiet Chirurgie

Nach Vollremission bei Ösophagus-Ca. – Operation erstmal aussetzen?

Studienziel erreicht, dennoch viele Fragen offen. So lassen sich die Ergebnisse der SANO-Studie zur Active-Surveillance versus sofortigen Ösophagektomie nach neoadjuvanter Komplettremission zusammenfassen. Interessant sind die Daten so oder so.

Nicht weniger Infektionen unter Vakuumversiegelungstherapie

Nach Ergebnissen der britisch-australischen SUNRISE-Studie scheint eine Unterdruck-Wundtherapie Infektionen bei abdominell Notoperierten nicht besser verhindern zu können als eine herkömmliche Wundversorgung.

Vergessene OP-Unterlage erst zwei Monate postoperativ entdeckt

Es sollte nie passieren, passiert aber doch: chirurgisches Material, das unbemerkt im Körper verbleibt. Im vorliegenden Fall wurde der Fremdkörper trotz seiner Größe erst nach zwei Monaten entdeckt – nachdem der Patient fast daran gestorben wäre.

Nur selten ernste Komplikationen bei endoskopischer Sinuschirurgie

Etwa 3% der Menschen mit einer endoskopischen Nasennebenhöhlenoperation entwickeln ausgeprägtes Nasenbluten. Andere Komplikationen, wie Verletzungen des Nervus opticus oder eine Meningitis, treten nur äußerst selten auf, legt eine Registeranalyse nahe.
