Open excisional haemorrhoidectomy versus transanal haemorrhoidal dearterialization for grade III haemorrhoids: open-label #RCT ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znaf282 🧪 Single-centre RCT (n=50) comparing open excisional haemorrhoidectomy (OEH) vs transanal haemorrhoidal dearterialization (THD). 📊 Clinical failure was much higher with THD (61% vs 8%; P<0.001), with all reoperations occurring in the THD group. ⚖️ Both techniques improved symptoms and QoL, but OEH was more effective overall. 💥 OEH caused more early postoperative pain and longer recovery (21 vs 14 days; P=0.010). 🎯 Take-home: OEH offers superior durability, while THD may reduce short-term pain at the cost of higher failure and reoperation rates.

Surgical site infection ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znaf213 🧼 Surgical site infections (SSI) occur within 30 days after surgery (or up to 1 year with prosthetic material) and range from superficial wound infection to deep or organ/space abscesses 🏥 In Europe, SSIs account for ~16% of healthcare-associated infections and are linked to a 2–11× increase in postoperative mortality, longer hospital stay, and higher costs ⚠️ Risk is multifactorial: procedure-related (clean ~2% vs contaminated >10%, highest in colorectal surgery), patient-related (diabetes, obesity, smoking, immunosuppression), and surgical technique 🦠 Most SSIs are caused by Gram-positive cocci (~54%), while Gram-negative Enterobacterales (~31%) dominate in abdominal and colorectal procedures ✅ Prevention and management rely on timely antibiotic prophylaxis, meticulous surgical technique, early diagnosis, and prompt source control, supported by hospital surveillance and feedback programs Work by María Sánchez-Rodríguez, Carlos Pastor, Patricia Tejedor #SoMe4Surgery #MedTwitter #SurgEd #Surgery @RCPSGTrainees @aecirujanos @SEIQuirurgica @iss_sic #MedicalTechniques @BJSAcademy @young_bjs @BjsOpen @evanscolorectal @robhinchliffe1 @bplwijn @MalinASund @nfmkok @TejedorPat @paulo_sutt @PVaughanShaw @JJEarnshaw @juliomayol @ksoreide #some4hpb #some4tpl @DPCG_official @pancreatitis_nl @PancreasClub #PancreasClub2023 #PancreaticCancer #Pancreatitis #HCC @PanCAN #PanCANawareness @EurPancClub @P_C_E_ @dice_europe #PancreaticCancer #cholangiocarcinoma #colorectalsurgery #StepUp4CRC @FightCRC @ACPGBI #ERAS @dice_europe #Crohn #proctology @Dukes_Club @ACPGBI_EduTrain @AECP_FAECP @PelvExGroup @escp_tweets @YouESCP #TeachMeColoproctology #Some4COLoprocto @cpastorid @MerySanchezRo
