    Abstract This commentary on a case considers how to cultivate resident surgeon professional autonomy while ensuring patient safety. Specifically, the commentary briefly canvasses strategies for how to disclose the nature and scope of resident surgeon involvement in managing intraoperative care to patients and their loved ones. The commentary also suggests how to manage patients' and their loved ones' expectations and assumptions about surgical innovation, including robot-assisted surgery.

    Abstract Preoperative radiotherapy has improved outcomes in rectal cancer patients, however, the optimal interval between radiation and proctectomy is unknown. A review of contemporary literature suggests an 8-12 week interval between radiation and surgery likely improves tumor response rates for rectal cancer patients undergoing proctectomy, which may convey modest improvements in long-term oncologic outcomes. Prolonged radiation-surgery intervals may expose surgeons to pelvic fibrosis, however, which may impact later-term proctectomies and compromise perioperative and oncologic outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Studies comparing opioid needs between benign and malignant colorectal diseases are inconclusive.
    Methods: Single institution analysis of prospectively maintained colorectal surgery database. Multiple regression analyses done on perioperative numeric pain scores (NPS) and opioids prescribed at discharge.
    Results: 641 patients in Benign and 276 patients in the Malignant group. Unadjusted comparison revealed significantly higher NPS for the Benign than the Malignant group preoperative and postoperative day 0 (after surgery), 1, 2, and 3 (all p ​≤ ​0.001). Opioids prescribed at discharge were significantly higher in the Benign group (60.0% vs 51.1%, p ​= ​0.018). After regression analysis, there was no longer a significant difference in NPS (B ​= ​0.703, p ​= ​0.095) and opioids prescribed between groups [OR ​= ​0.803 (95%CI 0.586, 1.1), p ​= ​0.173].
    Conclusions: Pain and opioids prescribed at discharge are not significantly different between benign and malignant diseases in an enhanced recovery pain management pathway that maximizes non-opioid multimodal analgesic strategies.

    Abstract Objective: Didactic education in General Surgery (GS) residency typically follows a nationally standardized curriculum; however, instructional format varies by institution. In recent years, GS residents at our institution expressed discontentment with weekly didactics and were not meeting their goals on the American Board of Surgery In-Training Examination (ABSITE). We sought to develop improvements in our didactic curriculum to increase resident satisfaction and ABSITE scores of GS junior residents (Jrs).
    Design: In a quality improvement project, we changed the weekly didactic curriculum format from hour-long lectures in the 2018 to 2019 academic year (AY) to a partially-flipped classroom in the 2019 to 2020 AY, involving a 30-minute faculty-led presentation followed by 30 minutes of resident-led practice questions. The outcomes measured were ABSITE scores taken in 2019 and 2020 and resident opinions via an anonymous survey.
    Setting: This study was conducted at the University of Minnesota (Minneapolis, MN).
    Participants: The cohort for this study included all GS Jrs in our GS residency program, including postgraduate year (PGY) 1 nondesignated preliminary, PGY1 to 3 categorical GS residents, and residents in their lab time. Senior residents attended a separate didactics session.
    Results: After curriculum changes, the ABSITE percentile scores for GS Jrs rose from 52% ± 5% to 66% ± 4% (p = 0.03). No categorical GS Jr scored <30% in 2020, compared to 20% (6/30) of categorical General Surgery residents in 2019. All residents preferred the new format overall and reported greater engagement in and preparation for didactics.
    Conclusions: After changing didactic education from hour-long lectures in the 2018 to 2019 AY to a flipped classroom model in the 2019 to 2020 AY including 30 minutes of faculty-led lecture followed by 30 minutes of resident-led practice questions, ABSITE scores and resident satisfaction at the University of Minnesota General Surgery Program improved.

    Abstract The indocyanine green fluorescence imaging system is a surgical tool with increasing applications in colon and rectal surgery that has received growing acceptance in various surgical disciplines as a potentially valid method to enhance surgical field visualization, improve lymph node retrieval, and decrease anastomotic leak. Small noncomparative prospective trials have shown that intraoperative fluorescence imaging is a safe and feasible method to assess anastomotic perfusion and that its use may impact anastomotic leak rates. However, larger prospective and randomized studies are required to validate its role and impact in colorectal surgery. The purpose of this article is to review the current status of the use of immunofluorescence in colon and rectal surgery, as well as new applications in robotic colon and rectal resections.

    Abstract Background: Success in the residency interview is important in obtaining a position in general surgery residency. Preparing applicants for interviews is imperative yet can be resource intensive. The primary objective of our study was to investigate whether an early interview day with feedback (IDWF) provides interview preparation to internal applicants to general surgery residency without negatively impacting their rank list position at our program.
    Methods: Internal applicants to the general surgery residency program at a single academic institution were invited to an early interview day after which they received individualized feedback and attended a workshop on interview techniques. Applicants were anonymously surveyed after The Match to measure their experiences with the IDWF. Two years of post-intervention program rank lists were compared to those from the five years pre-intervention to assess for change in rank list position of internal applicants. Participants included the 16 of 20 internal applicants who completed the survey. De-identified rank order data of internal applicants between 2014 and 2020 included 48 applicants.
    Results: All applicants believed the IDWF should be continued, and over half reported improved confidence and made changes from feedback. Rank list analysis demonstrated no statistically significant change in the proportion of internal applicants who ranked in the top 40 nor the average rank position of internal applicants.
    Conclusions: An early interview day with feedback provides interview preparation in a resource-efficient manner without harming rank list position. The IDWF may be generalizable to other institutions to provide interview preparation to general surgery residency applicants.

    Abstract Background: Surgical intensive care units (SICU) require complex care from a multi-disciplinary team. Frequent changes in team members can lead to shifting expectations for junior general surgical trainees, which creates a challenging working and learning environment. We aim to identify expectations of junior surgery trainee's medical knowledge and technical/non-technical skills at the start of their SICU rotation. We hypothesize that expectations will not be consistent across SICU stakeholder groups.
    Methods: Twenty-eight individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with six SICU stakeholder groups at a medium-sized academic hospital. Expectations were identified from interview transcripts. Frequency counts were analyzed.
    Results: Forty-one expectations were identified. 4 expectations were identified by a majority of interviewees. Most expectations were identified by 7 or fewer interviewees. 23 (53%) expectations were shared by at least one stakeholder group. 2 (8%) expectations were shared by all groups.
    Conclusions: SICU stakeholder groups identified ten medical knowledge, ten technical skill, and three non-technical skill expectations. Yet, few expectations were shared among the groups. Thus, SICU stakeholder groups have disparate expectations for surgery trainees in our SICU.

    Abstract Introduction: In the 5 months since it began, the COVID-19 pandemic has placed extraordinary demands on health systems around the world including surgery. Competing health objectives and resource redeployment threaten to retard the scale-up of surgical services in low- and middle-income countries where access to safe, affordable and timely care is low. The key aspiration of the Lancet Commission on global surgery was promotion of resilience in surgical systems. The current pandemic provides an opportunity to stress-test those systems and identify fault-lines that may not be easily apparent outside of times of crisis.
    Methods: We endeavoured to explore vulnerable points in surgical systems learning from the experience of past outbreaks, using examples from the current pandemic, and make recommendations for future health emergencies. The 6-component framework for surgical systems planning was used to categorise the effects of COVID-19 on surgical systems, with a particular focus on low- and middle-income countries. Key vulnerabilities were identified and recommendations were made for the current pandemic and for the future.
    Results: Multiple stress points were identified throughout all of the 6 components of surgical systems. The impact is expected to be highest in the workforce, service delivery and infrastructure domains. Innovative new technologies should be employed to allow consistent, high-quality surgical care to continue even in times of crisis.
    Conclusions: If robust progress towards global surgery goals for 2030 is to continue, the stress points identified should be reinforced. An ongoing process of reappraisal and fortification will keep surgical systems in low- and middle-income countries responsive to "old threats and new challenges". Multiple opportunities exist to help realise the dream of surgical systems resilient to external shocks.

    Abstract Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether undergraduate, nonmedical students could pass the FLS Manual Skills Exam with minimal practice. The secondary objective is to examine ACGME case log data from graduating chief residents over the past 18 years to examine how laparoscopic experience has evolved over that time period.
    Design: Undergraduate, nonmedical students received training and unlimited practice time before being tested on each task of the FLS Manual Skills Exam. Each task was timed and scored using the MISTELS system. ACGME case log data from graduating chief residents over the past 18 years was obtained.
    Setting: The setting is SimPortal, the simulation center associated with the University of Minnesota Medical School.
    Participants: The participants are 25 undergraduate, nonmedical students from the University of Minnesota. Participants were recruited on campus.
    Results: Twenty-three out of 25 (92%) undergraduate, nonmedical students successfully completed one attempt for each task of the FLS Manual Skills Exam and 21 out of 25 (84%) completed both attempts. The average total practice time was 39 minutes. Over the past 18 years, the average number of laparoscopic cases completed by a graduating chief increased from 142 to 275 cases (93% increase). Additionally, the average number of cases of the top 5 most common laparoscopic operations increased from 25% to over 400%.
    Conclusions: Undergraduate, nonmedical students can pass the FLS Manual Skills Exam with minimal practice. Additionally, general surgery residents and medical students continue to gain more laparoscopic experience throughout medical training as laparoscopic surgery is utilized for more operations. The FLS Manual Skills Exam should be re-examined to determine its utility as a high-stakes exam.
