Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries
2023
Background: Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods: This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, r…
Effect of COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns on planned cancer surgery for 15 tumour types in 61 countries: an international, prospective, cohort study
2021
This international, prospective, cohort study enrolled 20 006 adult (≥18 years) patients from 466 hospitals in 61 countries with 15 cancer types, who had a decision for curative surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic and were followed up until the point of surgery or cessation of follow-up (Aug 31, 2020). Average national Oxford COVID-19 Stringency Index scores were calculated to define the government response to COVID-19 for each patient for the period they awaited surgery, and classified into light restrictions (index 60). The primary outcome was the non-operation rate (defined as the proportion of patients who did not undergo planned surgery). Cox proportional-hazards regression models wer…
Sicher zwischen Leitlinie und Leitplanke: Umfrage zur Praxis des perioperativen Managements der radikalen Zystektomie in Deutschland
2020
Zusammenfassung Hintergrund und Zielsetzung Die radikale Zystektomie (RCX) ist die kurative Standardbehandlung für muskelinvasive Harnblasenkarzinome. Aufgrund des operativen Ausmaßes und der damit verbundenen komplexen stationären Betreuung ist die RCX mit hoher Morbidität und Mortalität verbunden. Ziel war es, Daten aus dem klinischen Alltag zur gegenwärtigen Praxis des perioperativen Managements zu erfassen. Methoden Mitglieder der DGU und der German Society of Residents in Urology beantworteten anonym einen 24 Fragen umfassenden Online-Fragebogen. Gegenstand waren sowohl klinisch relevante Aspekte der gegenwärtigen EAU/DGU-Leitlinien als auch kontrovers diskutierte klinische Fragen. Erg…
Preoperative nasopharyngeal swab testing and postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing elective surgery during the SARS-CoV-2 pand…
2021
Abstract Background Surgical services are preparing to scale up in areas affected by COVID-19. This study aimed to evaluate the association between preoperative SARS-CoV-2 testing and postoperative pulmonary complications in patients undergoing elective cancer surgery. Methods This international cohort study included adult patients undergoing elective surgery for cancer in areas affected by SARS-CoV-2 up to 19 April 2020. Patients suspected of SARS-CoV-2 infection before operation were excluded. The primary outcome measure was postoperative pulmonary complications at 30 days after surgery. Preoperative testing strategies were adjusted for confounding using mixed-effects models. Results Of 8…
