The surgeon-scientists or academic Surgeon-Scientists (SS) are practising clinicians who are engaged in scientific research. SS are uniquely positioned to facilitate exchange between research and practice, and as such they are play instrumental role in developing medical practice [1]. The involvement of Surgeon-Scientists (SS) will lead to increasing clinical relevance of research questions, gaining access to clinical settings for research, bringing clinical expertise and insider perspectives to the research, having researchers who are trusted by participants, which may encourage their participation, and having researchers who are motivated to disseminate applicable findings and continue their commitment to the researched. This combination can result in good patient compliance and strengthen patient–clinician interactions [1-3].

Introduction: The negative pressure wound therapy NPWT is a simple technique using negative pressure which aims to heal different types of wounds in different kinds of surgeries.The purpose of our study is to evaluate the results of this therapy on patients who have had delayed wound healing in cardiac, vascular or thoracic surgery. Methods: It is a retrospective review, from 2009 to 2021, including 31 patients , hospitalized in the thoracic and cardiovascular surgery department of Abderrahman Mami hospital of Ariana Tunisia. Data were collected on patient cardiovascular risk factors, primary diagnosis, intervention, site of the wound, duration of the therapy, number of NPWT dressing implemented, the inflammatory assessment, the microorganism found and the evolution after the NPWT. Results: The mean age was 61 years with a maximum of 78-year-old-patient and minimum of 24 (Range 24 Year Old-78 Year Old) There were 23 male and 8 female patients with the following risk factors and comorbidities: Diabetes (70,59%), Smoking (47,06%), Hypertension (41,17%), Dyslipidemia (29,41%). Five patients presented with mediastinitis after coronary by-pass and five others had an infected scarpa but the bypass was preserved. Ten (10) cases presented with critical limb ischemia and

Inguinal hernia and colorectal cancer, considered individually, are very common pathologies; their simultaneous manifestation in the same patient, on the other hand, is a rare condition and even more the presentation in the form of a complication (bleeding, intestinal obstruction, etc.). We report an 86-year-old man case of incarcerated sigmoid colon carcinoma diagnosed in the emergency department preoperatively and treated with elective laparoscopic surgery, combined with an inguinal approach. Literature review (last 30 years) was applied to analyzed variability and open questions in the management of this particular pathologic combination.

Introduction: Biliary-digestive anastomosis are a fistulization between the bile ducts and the digestive tract that aims at permanent drainage of bile to the digestive tract in case of obstruction at the lower bile duct. The objective of our study was to describe the main techniques and postoperative results of biliary-digestive anastomoses in the treatment of pancreatic head tumors in the visceral surgery department of the Donka national hospital. Material and Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study for 5 years duration from January 01, 2014 to December 31, 2019 which focused on the records of patients who underwent bilio-digestive anastomosis for pancreatic head tumors. Results: The frequency of biliary-digestive anastomosis was 0.38% (N=24). The mean age was 43.75 years with a male predominance of 54.17% (n=13): sex ratio 1.18. The clinical picture was dominated by jaundice, dark urine and stool discoloration in all cases. Abdominal Computed Tomographic (CT) scan and Ultrasound (US) were the reference examinations. The indications were tumors of the head of the pancreas 100% (n=24). The approach was median supra-umbilical in all cases. The types of anastomosis were dominated by choledochodenal anastomosis 54.16% (n=13) followed by cholecysto-jejunal 20.83% (n=5) and choledoco-

Background: The rate of re-epithelialization is the primary determinant of the morbidity and mortality in patients with severe burn injuries. Laminin ⍺5β1γ1 (LM511) is an extracellular structural protein that can support epithelial cell adhesion and migration. LM511-E8 is a functionally minimal form of LM511 with an efficacy similar to that of the full-length protein. To investigate whether treatment of burn wounds with the LM511-E8 fragment improves wound closure in a rat second-degree burn wound model. Methods: Second-degree burn wounds were produced in vivo on the backs of rats. The rats were separated into saline-treated control and LM511-E8-treated groups (n=9 per group),

Objectives: The Modified Cincinnati Knee Rating System (mCKRS) was designed as an outcome measure to help clinicians gather information about the clinical and functional outcomes of patients after knee surgery. It applies to various knee conditions. Design: Our goal was the translation of the mCKRS to the Arabic language followed by the investigation of its psychometric properties as well as test of its floor/ceiling effects, validity, reliability, and internal consistency. Method: Fifty-seven patients participated in two occasions at the baseline and the follow-up after 2 weeks. We tested for internal consistency with Cronbach’s α. We calculated Spearman’s correlation as a means of estimating construct validity in comparison to the Arabic Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). Also, the responsiveness of the mCKRS questionnaire was measured by calculating the standardized response mean (SRM). Results: Overall, the Arabic mCKRS at the baseline had a Cronbach’s α of 0.792, and 0.820 at the follow-up, which was very high and internally consistent. Intra Class correlations (ICC) indicated that the mCKRS questionnaire is reliably reproducible, while Standardized Response Mean (SRM) of the questionnaire with 1.30. This illustrates a high degree of sensitivity regarding the change. Also, we observed a strong correlation with Arabic KOOS (r = 0.760, p < 0.001), indicating that the construct validity was good. Also, all the subscales, except swelling, proved to have a high correlation with Arabic KOOS (r > 0.70). We did not observe any major floor and ceiling effect among all responses.
