Learning to treat severe pelvic trauma is tough for medical students. It takes both smart thinking and hands-on skills, which traditional teaching methods can't always provide. Lectures and practice on mannequins have limits. They can't cover all the complex scenarios, and students might not get eno
Imagine this: a 22-year-old guy gets into a motorbike accident. Sounds normal, right? But here's where it gets interesting. He ends up with a rare fracture, one that's more common in kids aged 8 to 16. It's called an inferior patellar sleeve fracture, and it's not something you see every day. Docto

In recent years, robots have become common helpers in spine surgery. Doctors use them to make operations more precise and safer. The 7th and 8th Annual Seattle Science Foundation (SSF) Robotics Courses gathered experts to talk about and show off the latest robotics and surgery techniques. These incl
Ever wondered how surgeons stay calm and focused during high-pressure operations? It's like they're athletes in scrubs, turning stress into success. But how do they do it? Let's dive in. First off, surgeons aren't born with superhuman calmness. They train for it. Just like athletes, they practice t
Ever thought about how changing your gut's job could fix liver problems? Scientists did an experiment with rats that had a liver disease called MASLD. They performed a surgery called duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB), which changed how food travels through the gut. Surprisingly, the rats' livers started
Have you ever wondered how doctors evaluate the severity of complications after surgery? One way they do this is by using the Clavien-Dindo (C-D) classification system. But how well can an algorithm, like a computer program, do this job? Researchers have been testing an algorithm to see if it can au
You might think that robotic surgery is all about the robot, but it's actually about the patient. Recently, a group of experts from the Junior European Association of Urology Robotic Section and Young Academic Urologists got together to figure out what makes robotic surgery successful for patients.
Did you know that setting up a gamma knife facility for advanced neurosurgery isn't cheap? Hospitals in India have to carefully think about their budgets to keep these facilities running. One big hospital in India decided to dig into their costs and figure out when they'd break even. They found that
Hand surgeries can be complicated when it comes to managing post-op pain. While some hospitals are reducing or even avoiding strong painkillers like opioids for simpler procedures, the situation gets trickier with more complex surgeries. For instance, fixing broken bones often still requires opioids
