Research
Our practice yearns to remain on the cutting edge of surgery and constantly seeking innovative approaches to our field.
Here our patients can find real-time data relevant to our scope of practice.
As articles are identified by our providers, via world conferences, literature reviews and journal clubs, they are uploaded for the patient's convenience.
The internet is filled with overwhelming amounts of information, we strive to filter that data, in order to provide patients with the latest evidence-based research, without diving into the rabbit hole of the world wide web.
Intuitive daVinci - Chole evidence
This research summary reviews published studies on robotic-assisted gallbladder surgery using the da Vinci® surgical system. Findings suggest robotic-assisted approaches may support minimally invasive treatment, reduced blood loss, and lower conversion rates to open surgery for certain patients.
Intuitive daVinci - IHR evidence
This research summary reviews studies on robotic-assisted inguinal hernia repair performed using the da Vinci® surgical system. Research has explored outcomes related to minimally invasive surgery, recovery time, complication rates, and patient outcomes compared with traditional surgical approaches.
Intuitive daVinci - VHR evidence
This research summary reviews published studies on robotic-assisted ventral hernia repair performed using the da Vinci® surgical system. The evidence explores outcomes related to minimally invasive surgery, complication rates, recovery, and surgical precision, helping support informed treatment planning for patients considering ventral hernia repair.
Breast Cancer Study Reveals a Paradox of Mastectomy
An artice exploring the complex decision-making, outcomes, and emotional factors surrounding lumpectomy, single mastectomy, and double mastectomy in breast cancer treatment.
Diagnostic Modalities for Early Detection of Anastomotic Leak After Colorectal Surgery
An article examining early detection methods for anastomotic leaks after colorectal surgery, including the use of CT imaging and postoperative biomarkers such as CRP and procalcitonin.
Forgoing Preoperative Manometry for Minimally Invasive Hiatal Hernia Repair
An article examining whether preoperative manometry is always necessary before minimally invasive hiatal hernia repair and partial fundoplication, with findings suggesting it may not be required in all cases.
'Fail-Safe' First Abdominal Entry for Laparoscopic/Robotic Surgery
A surgical education video demonstrating a “fail-safe” approach to laparoscopic and robotic abdominal entry designed to help reduce entry-related complications during minimally invasive surgery.
Have Surgeons (Accidentally) Become Primary Care Doctors?
An article exploring how surgeons are increasingly addressing broader patient health issues beyond surgery, including gaps in primary care access, chronic disease management, and whole-patient care.
Epiploic steal: is this concept the key to reducing colorectal anastomotic leak rates?
An article introducing the concept of “epiploic steal” and its potential role in improving blood flow and reducing anastomotic leak rates in colorectal surgery.
Spontaneous Splenic Rupture following Colorectal Surgery and Hemodialysis
A case report discussing spontaneous splenic rupture following colorectal surgery and hemodialysis, highlighting the importance of early recognition and postoperative monitoring in high-risk patients.
The Surgical Infection Society Guidelines on the Management of Intra-Abdominal Infection
An updated Surgical Infection Society guideline reviewing evidence-based recommendations for the prevention and management of intra-abdominal infections in adult patients.
Clinical scores for acute appendicitis in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy studies
A systematic review and meta-analysis comparing clinical scoring systems for diagnosing acute appendicitis in adults, with findings suggesting the RIPASA score demonstrated the highest diagnostic accuracy.
