Just seen this Colorectal Disease fantastic to enable authors to submit in whatever format they choose-should be the future for all journals. Well done Neil Smart and team this is a real time saver for authors.

Thank you James Jin 🇳🇿 for your excellent publication in SURGERY Journal “Lateral sphincterotomy had the highest rates of healing and should be considered as the definitive treatment after failed initial therapy with botulinum toxin or medical treatment.” surgjournal.com/article/S0039-…

Our #systematic review and #metaanalysis has shown similar outcomes between acute cholecystectomy performed out-of-hours vs.in-hours, despite adjusting for confounding patient factors.

“The meta-analysis has shown sarcopenia to provide useful long-term prognostic information following emergency laparotomy.” Very timely study from Andrew D MacCormick in SURGERY Journal surgjournal.com/article/S0039-… RACSurgeons @CSSANZ2

Nice piece of work here on #sarcopenia in #emgensurg Is sarcopenia a symptom? Is it part of a #frailty phenotype? Does it reflect #nutritional aspects? Most importantly, is it something we can intervene on, particularly in the acute setting?

Further to add- Māori present younger and with more atypical symptoms such as back pain. So education needs to happen to make sure there is appropriate CTA and treatment #RACS22

Delighted to be given the opportunity to present these data at #RACS22. More education on the atypical presentation of acute aortic syndrome in younger Māori and Pacific Islander patients is required, in addition to an equitable risk stratification tool for prioritising CTA

How do you deal with sarcopenia 💪 before elective cancer surgery !? 🆕 Consensus definition of Sarcopenia as low muscle ‘strength’ and ‘mass’ predicts outcome 🤸‍♀️ Targeted exercise-based interventions that minimize sarcopenia may improve outcomes academic.oup.com/bjsopen/articl…

The consensus definition of sarcopenia 💪💪💪 was recently updated to emphasize both low muscle strength and mass. Based on this definition, sarcopenic patients had higher postoperative complication rates, higher mortality in hospital and to 3 months, and poorer overall survival
