Our aim was to summarize global prevalence rates of the burnout subscales emotional exhaustion (EE) and depersonalization (DP) among general surgeons, as well as potential contributing factors. A systematic literature search was performed to identify studies reporting EE and DP prevalence and associated potential stressors. Heterogeneity was assessed by I2 statistic and tau2 statistic. We also performed subgroup analysis, meta-regression analysis and funnel plot asymmetry tests. A total of 21 cross-sectional studies were included in this meta-analysis, totaling 3325 subjects. Analysis of EE and DP indicated burnout in 43% and 41% of general surgeons, respectively. The moderators used in the meta-regression analysis did not account for significant heterogeneity. The Egger and Peters tests did not detect publication bias due to small studies. The prevalences of EE and DP in general surgeons are very high, and further studies are needed to clarify the discrepancies observed in certain results.

Introduction
General surgery is undergoing progressive super-specialization with conditions previously managed by general surgeons now being treated by super-specialists (SS). No universal criteria currently exist to define abdominal wall surgery super-specialization (AWS-SS), and the designation remains a self-reported classification. The aim of our paper is to evaluate the outcomes of incisional hernia (IH) procedures in the context of super-specialization or not, focusing on complications and recurrence rates.
Methods
All patients who underwent elective and emergency IH repair with mesh between 2017 and 2022 were included in the Spanish IH registry (EVEREG database). At the time of data inclusion, surgeons self-identified as either super-specialists or not (SS vs NSS), using no predefined criteria. Patients were divided into 2 groups: those performed by SS or NSS. Using a 1:1 matched analysis, differences in the incidence of complications and recurrence rates within 30 days, 6 months, one year, or 2 years of follow up were compared.
Results
A total of 6231 IH procedures were analyzed, 3441 (55.2%) of which were recorded as having been performed in the presence of a super-specialist. After matching, 4680 IH procedures were included in the final analysis. IH repairs performed in the presence of a super-specialist were associated with a lower incidence of surgical site occurrences (SSO), reduced recurrence rates within the first 2 years of follow-up, and lower rates of bulging and overall complications.
Conclusions
Involvement of a super-specialist in the repair of an IH can be associated with lower complication rates and reduced recurrence.
普通外科正经历着逐步的超级专业化,以前由普通外科医生管理的疾病现在由超级专家(SS)治疗。目前还没有统一的标准来定义腹壁手术超专业化(AWS-SS),其名称仍然是自我报告的分类。本文的目的是评估切口疝(IH)手术在超专业化或非超专业化背景下的结果,重点关注并发症和复发率。方法2017年至2022年期间所有接受选择性和紧急补片IH修复的患者均纳入西班牙IH登记处(EVEREG数据库)。在纳入数据时,外科医生自我认定为超级专家或非超级专家(SS vs NSS),没有使用预定义的标准。患者分为两组:SS组和NSS组。采用1:1匹配分析,比较随访30天、6个月、1年、2年并发症发生率和复发率的差异。结果共分析了6231例IH手术,其中3441例(55.2%)记录为在超级专家在场的情况下进行的。匹配后,4680例IH程序被纳入最终分析。在超级专家在场的情况下进行IH修复与较低的手术部位发生率(SSO)、较低的前2年随访复发率、较低的肿胀率和整体并发症发生率相关。结论超级专家参与IH修复可以降低并发症发生率和减少复发率。

Background
In daily clinical practice, patients with similar risk profiles often show varied oncologic outcomes, including differing responses to neoadjuvant therapy and surgery. In this study, we seek to analyze the relationship of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR), and monocyte-to-lymphocyte (MLR) ratios with survival and recurrence in patients treated for locally advanced rectal cancer.
Material and methods
We have conducted a retrospective analysis of patients operated on due to rectal cancer with neoadjuvant long-course radiotherapy and sensitizing chemotherapy. After neoadjuvant therapy and before surgery, these immunomarker indices were analyzed. Each index was assigned a cut-off point to assess their association with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS).
Results
A total of 156 patients were analyzed with a median follow-up of 71.5 months (51–89). The NLR index was identified as an independent predictor of 5-year OS and DFS. Values above the 6.3 cut-off point showed an OS of 58.9% (P = .019); in patients with values above 4.72, DFS was 57.4% (P = .034). Patients whose 3 indices (NLR, PLR, MLR) were elevated had a 5-year OS of 25% (HR 3.16, 95% CI [1.45−6.87], P = .004); and a 5-year DFS of 39.4% (HR 2.88, 95% CI [1.35–6.17], P = .006).
Conclusions
Elevated preoperative immunomarker values are related to worse outcomes in terms of OS and DFS in those patients with locally advanced rectal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy. The combination of the three indices is more accurate in predicting OS and DFS. These immunomarkers may be useful in choosing an individualized therapeutic strategy.
在日常临床实践中,具有相似风险特征的患者往往表现出不同的肿瘤预后,包括对新辅助治疗和手术的不同反应。在这项研究中,我们试图分析中性粒细胞与淋巴细胞(NLR)、血小板与淋巴细胞(PLR)和单核细胞与淋巴细胞(MLR)比例与局部晚期直肠癌患者的生存率和复发率的关系。材料与方法回顾性分析直肠癌手术患者接受新辅助长期放疗和增敏化疗的情况。在新辅助治疗后和手术前对这些免疫指标进行分析。每个指标被分配一个截止点来评估它们与总生存期(OS)和无病生存期(DFS)的关联。结果共分析156例患者,中位随访71.5个月(51 ~ 89)。NLR指数被确定为5年OS和DFS的独立预测因子。高于6.3分界点的OS为58.9% (P = 0.019);高于4.72的患者,DFS为57.4% (P = 0.034)。3项指标(NLR、PLR、MLR)升高的患者5年OS为25% (HR 3.16, 95% CI [1.45 ~ 6.87], P = 0.004);5年DFS为39.4% (HR 2.88, 95% CI [1.35-6.17], P = 0.006)。结论局部进展期直肠癌患者经新辅助治疗后,术前免疫标志物水平升高与较差的OS和DFS有关。3个指标联合应用预测OS和DFS更为准确。这些免疫标记物可能有助于选择个体化治疗策略。

Introduction
Inguinoscrotal hernia (ISH) represents an advanced form of inguinal hernia, with greater technical complexity and higher risk of complications. Despite its significant prevalence, its management remains heterogeneous in Spain. This study evaluates clinical practice and adherence to the recommendations of the European Hernia Society (EHS).
Methods
A cross-sectional observational study was conducted through an online survey distributed among members of the Spanish Association of Surgery (AEC). Demographic variables and specific data on the diagnostic and therapeutic management of ISH were collected. Subgroup analyses were performed based on age and specialization in abdominal wall surgery.
Results
Out of 3014 surveys distributed, 392 complete responses were obtained (13%). While 60.2% had an Abdominal Wall Unit, only 11.7% centralized all inguinal hernia cases. Open surgery remains the most frequent approach (96.4%). In ISH cases, the use of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is lower (38.6%), with TAPP being the predominant technique. Surgeons specialized in abdominal wall procedures used more posterior and endoscopic techniques. Adherence to EHS guidelines was partial (58.8%).
Conclusions
The treatment of ISH in Spain lacks proper centralization in specialized units, which limits the adoption of advanced techniques and adherence to international guidelines. Promoting specific training, European certification, and the creation of specialized units could improve clinical outcomes and the quality of life for these patients.

Introduction
Left pancreatectomy (LP) is a surgical technique with low mortality but high morbidity (30%), particularly pancreatic fistula (PF). Its minimally invasive (MI) approach has become popular, but its implementation in Spain remains unknown. We present a national multicenter study on LP to determine morbidity-mortality, PF incidence, and the percentage of MI approach.
Methods
A descriptive, observational, prospective, and multicenter study on LP. Study period: 02/01/2022–02/28/2023. Inclusion criteria: Elective LP. Exclusion criteria: LP following pancreaticoduodenectomy, with celiac trunk resection, or performed as an emergency. Major complications (MC): Clavien-Dindo ≥ IIIA.
Results
A total of 41 centers participated, including 313 patients. Women accounted for 53.4%. Mean age: 63.4 years. The most common indications for LP were neuroendocrine tumors (32.6%), pancreatic adenocarcinoma (28%), and IPMN (15.7%). The surgical approach was laparoscopic (53%), open (30.7%), and robotic (16.3%). The most frequently performed techniques were distal splenopancreatectomy (72.2%) and radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) (14.4%). Complications occurred in 57.5% of patients, with 21.1% classified as MC. The most frequent was PF (38.3%), with 52.5% of PFs classified as B-C (20.1% of the total). The 90-day mortality rate was 1.6%. The use of a protective sleeve and the absence of drains were associated with the absence of PF in multivariate analysis.
Conclusion
In our series, the MI approach was significantly higher than expected (70%). The MC rate was 21.1%, and mortality was 1.6%, confirming that LP is a procedure with low mortality but high morbidity.
