Catecholamine excess in patients with pheochromocytomas or paragangliomas (PPGLs) can lead to hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia. The aim was to investigate the prevalence of hyperlipidemia and the effect of surgical resection.

Surgical Resection of Pheochromocytomas and Paragangliomas is Associated with Lower Cholesterol Levels.

Staging laparoscopy (SL) with peritoneal lavage is usually performed on a separate day from the planned resection and is recommended in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma as it can identify radiographically occult metastases and malignant cytology, thus altering prognosis and treatment. SL can be done on the same day as planned resection (SLSR) or with delayed resection (SLDR). The purpose of this study was to determine utilization of SL and factors associated with SLSR and SLDR, among patients diagnosed with gastric adenocarcinoma.

Staging Laparoscopy is Underutilized in the Management of Gastric Adenocarcinoma.

Pediatric surgery (PS) is among the most competitive fellowship opportunities for general surgery residents. Prior investigations into factors associated with successful matriculation to PS have relied on surveys, which have inherent biases.

Qualities and characteristics of applicants associated with successful matriculation to pediatric surgery fellowship training.

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FLC) is a rare variant of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with most clinical data stemming from single-institution series. The variability in the literature lends support for analysis using a large national dataset. In doing so, we sought to (1) define the characteristics and outcomes of patients with FLC; (2) determine factors associated with survival in patients undergoing resection; and (3) compare the overall survival (OS) of patients with FLC with a matched group of patients with HCC.

Elevated Serum α-Fetoprotein is Associated with Abbreviated Survival for Patients with Fibrolamellar Hepatocellular Carcinoma Who Undergo a Curative Resection.

The risk of postoperative pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PPEI) is unknown in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type I (MEN1) and von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) who require resection of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs).

Pancreatic insufficiency following pancreatectomy: Does underlying tumor syndrome confer a greater risk?

As an increasing number of general surgery residents apply for fellowship positions, it is important to identify factors associated with successful matriculation. For applicants to colon and rectal surgery, there are currently no objective data available to distinguish which applicant attributes lead to successful matriculation.

Evaluation of Factors Associated With Successful Matriculation to Colon and Rectal Surgery Fellowship.

The 2020 Pediatric Surgery (PS) fellowship selection process was heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. A review of lessons learned can help determine best practices for the future. The purpose of the study was to analyze the virtual interview experience and assess opportunities to improve the post-pandemic fellowship recruitment process.

Is the changing landscape of fellowship recruitment during COVID-19 here to stay?

One of the most competitive surgical sub-specialty fellowships remains Pediatric Surgery (PS), which requires candidates to develop a strong and research-oriented curriculum vitae. Although some objective factors of matriculation are known, factors for the interview selection and ranking per the program directors (PDs) have not been reviewed in over a decade.
