Mashup Score: 2
Patients with contaminated/dirty-infected defects are at high risk for postoperative complications after abdominal wall reconstruction (AWR). We evaluated outcomes of AWR using acellular dermal matrix (ADM) for mesh reinforcement and identified predictors of hernia recurrence (HR), surgical site occurrences (SSOs), and surgical site infections (SSIs).

Mashup Score: 1Glucose Tolerance after Pancreatectomy: A Prospective Observational Follow-Up Study of Pancreaticoduodenectomy and Distal Pancreatectomy - 2 year(s) ago
Effects of pancreatectomy on glucose tolerance have not been clarified, and evidence regarding the difference in postoperative glucose tolerance between pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and distal pancreatectomy (DP) is lacking.
Categories: Latest Headlines, SurgeryTweet-
Glucose tolerance showed improvement after pancreaticoduodenectomy, and worsened after distal pancreatectomy. Insulin secretion decreased after both procedures. Insulin resistance improved after only pancreaticoduodenectomy. https://t.co/9ngVIqr1VR #VisualAbstract #SoMe4Surgery https://t.co/244wRxrL2D

Mashup Score: 5Long-Term Quality of Life after Minimally Invasive vs Open Distal Pancreatectomy in the LEOPARD Randomized Trial - 2 year(s) ago
Minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP) shortens time to functional recovery and improves 30-day quality of life (QoL), as compared with open distal pancreatectomy (ODP) for nonmalignant disease. The impact of MIDP on QoL, cosmetic satisfaction, and overall major complications beyond 1-year follow-up is currently unknown.
