Objective: Asian women remain underrepresented in surgical leadership despite increasing numbers in the workforce. Their intersectional experiences in academic surgery are poorly understood. This study explores barriers to career advancement faced by Asian women in academic surgery.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with Asian women surgeons recruited via a national surgical society. Transcripts were analyzed using grounded theory.

Results: Twenty Asian women surgeons participated; 70% faculty, 35% international medical graduates. Six barrier domains were identified: (1) career advancement-opaque promotion criteria, exclusion from informal networks, disproportionate invisible labor, leadership stereotypes, and mid-career stagnation; (2) mentorship and sponsorship-limited mentorship beyond training, cultural and gender barriers to mentorship, and scarcity of sponsors; (3) bias and discrimination-racism, sexism, undermining of authority, heightened scrutiny, inequitable referrals, and double standards; (4) institutional barriers-favoritism, unsupportive leadership, tokenistic diversity efforts, and productivity-based compensation; (5) personal impact-social exclusion, burnout, disillusionment, and attrition; and (6) barriers related to IMG status, reflecting challenges uniquely reported by international medical graduates.

Conclusion: Structural reforms to improve promotion transparency, ensure leadership accountability, and formalize mentorship and sponsorship are essential to foster equity and retain Asian women in academic surgery.

目的:尽管亚洲女性在劳动力中数量不断增加,但她们在外科领导中的比例仍然不足。他们在学术外科领域的交叉经验鲜为人知。本研究探讨了亚洲女性在学术外科领域面临的职业发展障碍。方法:对通过国家外科学会招募的亚洲女性外科医生进行半结构化访谈。使用扎根理论分析转录本。结果:20名亚洲女外科医生参与;70%的教师,35%的国际医学毕业生。研究发现了六个障碍域:(1)职业发展——不透明的晋升标准、被排除在非正式网络之外、不成比例的无形劳动、领导刻板印象和职业中期停滞;(2)师徒关系和赞助有限——培训之外的师徒关系、文化和性别障碍以及赞助商的稀缺性;(3)偏见和歧视——种族主义、性别歧视、削弱权威、加强审查、不公平的推荐和双重标准;(4)制度性障碍——偏袒、非支持性领导、象征性多样性努力和基于生产率的薪酬;(5)个人影响——社会排斥、倦怠、幻灭和人员流失;(6)与IMG身份相关的障碍,反映了国际医学毕业生所特有的挑战。结论:结构性改革以提高晋升透明度,确保领导问责制,并使指导和赞助正规化,对于促进公平和保留亚洲女性在学术外科领域至关重要。

Background

There is limited understanding of how consent is obtained for digital rectal (DRE) and intraoperative pelvic exams (IPE) in colorectal surgery.

Methods

Two-pronged survey of colorectal patients and surgeons. Participants self-rated their agreement with various statements regarding consent for surgery, DRE, and IPE.

Results

Out of 90 patients, 77 ​% agreed that surgeons may perform additional procedures other than those explicitly consented to preoperatively. 89 ​% agreed that DRE was implicit in the consent but 65 ​% preferred for it to have been explicitly discussed preoperatively. 75 ​% of patients agreed that IPE was implicit in the consent, but 58 ​% preferred for it to have been discussed preoperatively. Out 49 surgeons, 74 ​% routinely perform maneuvers such as IPE or instrumentation of the vagina when performing stapled anastomoses; only 7 ​% discuss this when obtaining surgical consent.

Conclusions

Consent discussions should explicitly include sensitive intraoperative exams to prevent erosion of patient autonomy and trust.
背景对于结直肠手术中直肠指检(DRE)和术中盆腔检查(IPE)是如何获得同意的了解有限。方法对结直肠患者和外科医生进行双管齐下的调查。参与者自我评价了他们对手术、DRE和IPE的各种同意声明的同意程度。结果在90例患者中,77%的患者同意外科医生可以在术前明确同意的基础上进行其他手术。89%的人同意同意中隐含DRE,但65%的人倾向于术前明确讨论DRE。75%的患者同意在同意中隐含IPE,但58%的患者倾向于术前讨论IPE。在49名外科医生中,74%的人在进行吻合术时例行操作,如阴道穿刺或阴道内固定;只有7%的人在获得手术同意时讨论了这一点。结论同意讨论应明确包括敏感的术中检查,以防止侵蚀患者的自主权和信任。

Background

Older adults represent a growing proportion of motorcyclists and experience poor outcomes after crashes, but the role of frailty has not been characterized. We hypothesized that certain injuries and adverse outcomes would be more common with frailty.

Methods

The Trauma Quality Improvement Program database was retrospectively reviewed for patients aged ≥50 years with motorcycle collisions from 2017 to 2021. Injury patterns were compared by frailty status and multivariable regression assessed the effect of frailty on mortality and adverse discharge.

Results

Among 58,149 patients, 14.9 ​% were frail. Frail patients sustained fewer lower extremity injuries but had higher rates of chest injury. Frailty was associated with mortality (aOR 1.31, 95 ​% CI 1.13–1.51) and discharge to healthcare facilities (aOR 1.52, 95 ​% CI 1.43–1.62).

Conclusions

These findings highlight opportunities for integrating frailty screening into motorcycle rider education and support the promotion of chest protection, such as protective vests, for older, frail riders.
背景:老年人在摩托车手中所占的比例越来越大,并且在碰撞后经历了不良后果,但虚弱的作用尚未被描述。我们假设某些损伤和不良后果在虚弱中更常见。方法:回顾性分析创伤质量改善计划数据库中2017年至2021年年龄≥50岁的摩托车碰撞患者。损伤模式通过虚弱状态进行比较,多变量回归评估虚弱对死亡率和不良出院的影响。结果:58,149例患者中虚弱者占14.9%。体弱患者下肢损伤较少,但胸部损伤率较高。虚弱与死亡率(aOR 1.31, 95% CI 1.13-1.51)和出院相关(aOR 1.52, 95% CI 1.43-1.62)。结论:这些发现突出了将虚弱筛查纳入摩托车骑手教育的机会,并支持促进胸部保护,如保护背心,为年老,虚弱的骑手。

Introduction

The utility of surveillance imaging (SI) after high-grade liver injury is unclear. We studied SI's detection rate and its association with unplanned interventions, emergency department (ED) visits, and mortality.

Methods

Adult patients with American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grade III-V liver injury (2018–2024) were categorized by follow-up imaging: surveillance imaging (SI, no clinical change), clinically-prompted imaging (CI), or none. Outcomes included unplanned intervention, liver-related ED visits, and mortality.

Results

Among 252 patients, SI prompted intervention in 10 ​% of cases versus 31 ​% for CI. Unplanned interventions were more frequent after CI than SI (37 ​% vs. 18 ​%; p ​= ​0.018). ED visits were marginally lower after SI versus CI (30 ​% vs. 43 ​%; p ​= ​0.10). Mortality did not differ across groups.

Conclusions

SI identified complications in select patients and was associated with fewer unplanned interventions, marginally fewer ED visits, and no mortality difference compared to CI.
导读:监测成像(SI)在高级别肝损伤后的应用尚不清楚。我们研究了SI的检出率及其与计划外干预、急诊(ED)就诊和死亡率的关系。方法:美国创伤外科学会(AAST) III-V级肝损伤成年患者(2018-2024)按随访影像学分类:监测影像学(SI,无临床变化),临床提示影像学(CI),或无。结果包括计划外干预、肝脏相关急诊科就诊和死亡率。结果:在252例患者中,10%的病例采用SI,而31%的病例采用CI。CI后非计划干预比SI后更频繁(37%比18%;p = 0.018)。在SI和CI之后,急诊科的诊断率略低(30% vs 43%; p = 0.10)。死亡率在各组之间没有差异。结论:与CI相比,SI确定了部分患者的并发症,并且与计划外干预较少,ED就诊较少相关,且死亡率无差异。

Background

Understanding surgeons’ perspectives on post-discharge opioid prescribing is crucial for optimizing pain management while mitigating opioid-related harms.

Objective

To describe the perspectives of North American general surgeons towards opioid prescribing after hospital discharge.

Methods

This qualitative study involved semi-structured interviews with 30 general surgeons in the USA and Canada. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and continued until thematic saturation. Data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis.

Results

Three themes were derived: motives for relying on opioids, motives for opioid minimization, and strategies for tailoring analgesia. Reliance on opioids was motivated by prescribing culture, convenience, patients' expectations, apprehension towards non-opioid analgesics, and limited pain management expertise. Motivations for opioid-minimization included cultural shift, non-opioids’ effectiveness, policy, and emerging research. Strategies for tailoring prescribing included addressing patient expectations and post-discharge follow-up.

Conclusions

Barriers to evidence-based prescribing, including tradition, convenience, and lacking expertise, should be addressed to optimize analgesia and mitigate opioid-related harms.
背景:了解外科医生对出院后阿片类药物处方的看法对于优化疼痛管理和减轻阿片类药物相关危害至关重要。目的:描述北美普通外科医生对出院后阿片类药物处方的看法。方法:采用半结构化访谈法对美国和加拿大的30名普通外科医生进行定性研究。采访被录音,逐字抄写,一直持续到主题饱和。数据分析采用归纳专题分析。结果:得出了三个主题:依赖阿片类药物的动机,阿片类药物最小化的动机和定制镇痛策略。阿片类药物依赖的动机是处方文化、便利性、患者期望、对非阿片类镇痛药的担忧以及有限的疼痛管理专业知识。阿片类药物最小化的动机包括文化转变、非阿片类药物的有效性、政策和新兴研究。定制处方的策略包括满足患者期望和出院后随访。结论:应解决循证处方的障碍,包括传统、便利性和缺乏专业知识,以优化镇痛和减轻阿片类药物相关危害。

Reliance on opioids was motivated by prescribing culture, convenience, patients' expectations, apprehension towards non-opioid analgesics, and limited pain management expertise. Motivations for opioid-minimization included cultural shift, non-opioids’ effectiveness, policy, and emerging research.
