Distractions can cause stress, and stress can impair cognition and motor skills to the detriment of surgeon performance. This study assessed the impact of distractions on surgeon stress levels and surgeon performance during simulated laparoscopic tasks. Methods: Twelve surgical trainees completed a peg-thread transfer task three times on a laparoscopic simulator in a neutral environment. Six trainees then completed the task three more times in an environment overlain with distractions commonly found in the operating theatre. Six others completed three more tasks in a neutral environment. Stress was measured by recording heart rate and by assessing responses to the NASA Task Load Index. Performance was measured using instrument tracking metrics and time to complete the task. Results: The distracted participants reported significantly higher effort, frustration, and physical demand than the neutral group, as measured by the NASA Task Load Index, (P = .001, .031, and .044, respectively). The neutral group completed their final task significantly faster compared with baseline (P = .049), while the distracted group failed to show this improvement. The distracted group showed higher hand discordance, suggesting reduced ambidexterity. Conclusion: Distraction negatively impacted some aspects of performance and resulted in subjective increased stress. In future, simulation may have a role in \"stress inoculation,\" enabling surgeons to maintain performance, despite distractions.","PeriodicalId":50166,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142214613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Grade II AC, according to Tokyo Guidelines in 2018 (TG18), is characterized by severe local inflammation with no systemic affection. The optimal treatment for patients with high-risk grade II AC has not yet been clearly established, which is still a dilemma. For these patients, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), despite being the only definitive treatment, is still a challenge. The introduction of percutaneous cholecystostomy as a temporary minimally invasive alternative technique allows an immediate gallbladder decompression with a rapid clinical improvement. However, the next step after percutaneous transhepatic gall bladder drainage (PTGBD) in these high-risk patients is still a debate, with no definitive consensus about the ideal treatment of choice as well as its optimal timing. In our study, we followed a treatment algorithm for high-risk patients that involved early gallbladder decompression by PTGBD, followed by LC at different intervals once the patient is considered fit for surgery. <b><i>Method:</i></b> A retrospective study of 58 patients with high-risk grade II AC with cardiopulmonary comorbidity from our medical records was included. They were managed initially with PTGBD, an LC was then performed either within 7 days after drain insertion (early group, 26 patients), while an LC was performed later for the remaining patients within 6-8 weeks after PTGBD (late group, 32 patients). The results of the two groups were analyzed. <b><i>Result:</i></b> Procalcitonin and C-reactive protein were significantly higher in the late group. No significant difference was found between both groups with regard to operative time, PTGBD-related complications, and major perioperative complications. Timing after PTGBD did not affect the incidence of operative complications. Total hospital stay was significantly shorter in the early group. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> PTGBD is a safe initial intervention for high-risk patients with AC with a low morbidity and high success rate. Urgent LC after PTGBD can be performed safely for well-selected high-risk patients with the timing of surgery is personalized according to each patient's clinical situation. Early LC (after PTGBD) has the advantage of shorter hospital stay, low cost, as well as avoiding the risk of biliary complications and mortality if waiting a delayed surgery with no significant difference in morbidity compared with late LC.</p>","PeriodicalId":50166,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142134306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As LCBDE can be technically challenging to perform, utilizing a disposable single-use cholangioscope (DSUC) for LCBDE through a cystic ductotomy has several advantages, such as potentially avoiding a choledochotomy and expanding access to cholangioscopes as a DSUC is disposable and does not require infrastructure for cleaning or maintenance. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> An IRB-approved, retrospective chart review from 2021 to 2023 was conducted for patients who underwent concurrent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and LCBDE with a DSUC (SpyGlass™ Discover, Boston Scientific, Natick, MA) for the management of choledocholithiasis diagnosed either preoperatively or during intraoperative cholangiogram (IOC).
