Assessing Immediate Postoperative Urinary Function in Tapp Inguinal Hernias Using the American Urological Association Symptom Score for Bph
Robert Mckay, MD. Ellis Hospital INTRODUCTION: To date, no sensitive measure has been used to quantify urinary symptoms in patients undergoing transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair in the 24- to 48- hr postoperative period. The American Urological Society Score (AUASS) is a validated score for urinary symptoms for benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH). This… Continue Reading

Assessing Postoperative Urinary Symptoms in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and Tapp Inguinal Hernia Repair Using the American Urological Association Symptom Score for Bph
Robert Mckay, MD. Ellis Hospital INTRODUCTION: Urinary retention requiring catheterization occurs in 2% to 7% of patients undergoing laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) inguinal hernia repair and in less than 2% of patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomies (LC). Urinary symptoms post laparoscopic surgery have been poorly quantified. The American Urological Association Symptom Score (AUASS) for benign… Continue Reading

Augmented Reality Telementoring (ART) Platform: An Intuitive Method for Teaching Laparoscopic Skills
Objective: Mentorship in laparoscopic surgery continues to evolve. Skills training outside of the operating room supplements, but does not supplant, hands-on training. Telementoring technology provides ways of training from a remote location that may augment self-directed learning with guided yet unobtrusive mentorship. Digital annotation with 2-way audio has been described as an effective telementoring method.… Continue Reading
Back to the Future: Open Cholecystectomy ‘hybrid\’ Model Developed Through Historical Re-enactment.
Objective: Cholecystectomy is the most frequently performed general surgical procedure. Prior to Mouret (1987), surgical trainees were routinely exposed to the open procedure which was the gold standard treatment of the time. The aims of reducing postoperative morbidity and length of hospital stay have historically driven the change in surgical approach; from open to laparoscopic,… Continue Reading
