Orthopedic surgeons' transition into full-time practice over the last 20 years: an analysis using Ministry of Health billing data
CONCLUSION: The Ontario health care system has not expanded to support more orthopedic surgeons despite the aging and growing population; despite our growing population, the number of surgeons being trained and retained has not matched this growth. Further research needs to be done to guide optimal health human resource decision-making.PMID:38670580 | DOI:10.1503/cjs.002623 (Source: Canadian Journal of Surgery)

Geographic variation in breast reconstruction surgery after mastectomy for females with breast cancer in Alberta, Canada
CONCLUSION: We found an overall postmastectomy rate of breast reconstruction of 11.9%, and we identified geographic variation. Predictors of reconstruction in Alberta were similar to those previously described in the literature, specifically with patients in rural communities having lower rates of reconstruction than their urban counterparts. These results suggest that further interventions are required to identify the specific barriers to reconstruction within rural communities and to create strategies to ensure equitable access to all residents.PMID:38670581 | DOI:10.1503/cjs.003823 (Source: Canadian Journal of Surgery)

Postoperative protocols for older adults undergoing emergency surgery: a scoping review
CONCLUSION: Through multidisciplinary interventions, a successful postoperative protocol for older patients undergoing emergency surgery is helpful for improving patient outcomes. The implications of these findings will help guide our own quality-improvement initiative to improve these outcomes in this patient population at our institution.PMID:38575179 | PMC:PMC11001382 | DOI:10.1503/cjs.011323 (Source: Canadian Journal of Surgery)

Prospective assessment of the impact of intraoperative diuretics in kidney transplant recipient surgery
CONCLUSION: This study suggests the use of an intraoperative diuretic (furosemide or mannitol) may result in a reduction in DGF in patients undergoing kidney transplantation. Further study in the form of a randomized controlled trial is warranted.PMID:38575180 | PMC:PMC11001381 | DOI:10.1503/cjs.006422 (Source: Canadian Journal of Surgery)
