    Abstract Although surgical care has become safer, cheaper, and more efficient, it has only a modest impact on the overall health of society, which is driven primarily by health behaviors such as smoking, alcohol use, poor diet, and physical inactivity. Given the ubiquity of surgical care in the population, it represents a critical opportunity to screen for and address the health behaviors that drive premature mortality at a population level. Patients are especially receptive to behavior change around the time of surgery, and many health systems already have programs in place to address these issues. In this commentary, we present the case for integrating health behavior screening and intervention into the perioperative pathway as a novel and impactful way to improve the health of society.

    Series title Colorectal Surgery Among Medically Vulnerable and Marginalized Populations
    Abstract This chapter explores the interplay between morbid obesity and the challenges encountered in colorectal surgery. Understanding the unique considerations in preoperative and intraoperative management along with weight optimization tools such as bariatric surgery emerges as potential mitigators, demonstrating benefits in reducing colorectal cancer risk and improving perioperative outcomes. Furthermore, the pervasive stigma associated with morbid obesity further complicates patient care, emphasizing the need for empathetic and nuanced approaches. Recommendations for minimizing stigma involve recognizing obesity as a medical diagnosis, fostering respectful communication, and actively dispelling misconceptions. Colorectal surgeons are pivotal in navigating these complexities, ensuring comprehensive and tailored care for patients with morbid obesity.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the relationships between opioid prescribing, consumption, and patient reported outcomes (PROs) in emergency surgery patients.
    Summary background data: Overprescribing of opioids for pain management after surgery has become a public health concern and major contributor to opioid misuse and dependency. Current guidelines do not address opioid prescribing following emergency surgical procedures, highlighting the importance of understanding the relationship between opioid prescribing and consumption in this setting.
    Methods: Retrospective analysis of the quantity of opioids prescribed and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in a population-based setting. The sample included adults 18 years and older undergoing emergency surgery across 69 hospitals in Michigan. Patients were included if they received a discharge opioid prescription and had valid data for opioid consumption and PROs. Surgical procedures took place between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2020.
    Results: During the study period, a total of 3,742 patients underwent an emergency operation. The mean number of opioid pills prescribed was 9.6 and the mean number of opioid pills consumed was 4.6. In a two-model with logit in the first part and a linear regression in the second, prescription size was significantly associated with both the probability of consumption (aOR 1.02, 95% CI 1.01-1.04) and the amount of consumption conditional on any consumption (coefficient 0.70 95% CI 0.54-0.86).
    Conclusions and relevance: Patients only consumed half of the opioids they were prescribed after undergoing emergency surgery. Additionally, patients who were given larger prescriptions consumed more opioids, but did not experience less pain, higher satisfaction, better quality of life, or less regret to undergo surgery. Overall, this suggests that opioids may be excessively prescribed to patients undergoing emergency surgical procedures, and that larger prescriptions do not improve the patient experience after surgery.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the reliability of surgeon outcomes.
    Background: Surgeons' outcomes are now widely used in public reporting and value-based reimbursement, but the reliability of these measures continues to raise concerns.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective study of surgeons performing cholecystectomy, colectomy, and hernia repair on adult patients between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2020. Outcomes were risk-adjusted rates of complications and high patient satisfaction. We estimated the reliability of each outcome, its relationship with case volume, and the number of surgeons who reached an acceptable level of reliability (≥0.70).
    Results: A total of 23,533 patients with a mean age of 56.8 (16.2) years and 10,191 (43.3%) females underwent operations by 333 surgeons. Risk-adjusted complication rate was 2.5% [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.2%-2.8%] and risk-adjusted high satisfaction rate was 79.9% (95% CI: 78.7%-81.0%). The reliability of the complication rate was 0.27 (95% CI: 0.25-0.29) and the reliability of the high satisfaction rate was 0.53 (95% CI: 0.50-0.55). Reliability increased with case volume; however, only 5 (1.5%) surgeons performed enough cases to reach acceptable reliability for their complication rate, while 86 (25.8%) surgeons reached acceptable reliability for their patient satisfaction rate. After adjustment for reliability, the range of complication rates decreased 29-fold from 0% to 14.3% to 2.4% to 2.9%, and the range of patient satisfaction decreased 2.6-fold from 25.3% to 100.0% to 64.9% to 92.4%.
    Conclusions: Among surgeons performing common operations, complications and patient satisfaction had relatively low reliability. Although reliability increased with volume, most surgeons had insufficient case volume to achieve acceptable reliability of their outcomes. As such, these measures likely offer little to no meaningful information to inform decision-making.

    Abstract Vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS), also known as type IV Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, is a rare inherited connective tissue disease that affects 1 in 50,000 to 250,000 individuals. It is characterized by catastrophic vascular complications and hollow viscus rupture; 80% of patients with vEDS experience a vascular complication by the age of 40 years, and median life expectancy is 40 to 50 years. The central vasculature and visceral vasculature are most commonly affected; peripheral involvement is much less common. We describe the case of a 40-year-old woman with vEDS previously complicated by ruptured splenic and posterior tibial artery aneurysms who presented with a ruptured left ulnar artery aneurysm resulting in compartment syndrome.
