Recently a debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) procedure has gained popularity for PJI where a thorough debridement, irrigation and modular component exchange is undertaken.Method: We present the outcome for DAIR, data collected prospectively, in a busy orthopaedic unit but not one specialising in PJI. All patients with PJI were included without loss of data or patients from 2012 to 2018 with a minimum follow-up of 5 years.Results: Four total knee replacements, 17 total hip replacements, one revision total hip replacement and three hip hemiarthroplasties are included with an average duration from onset of symptoms to the DAIR procedure of 11 days (range 1-22 days). Staphylococcus aureus (24%) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (32%) were the most common causative organisms, and the most common antibiotic regimens included intravenous teicoplanin and flucloxacillin. Average follow-up was 67 months (range 9-104 months). Only four patients went on to require revision surgery. An analysis of midterm patient outcome measures for 6 of the total hip replacement (THR) DAIR patients were compared with a database of 792 THRs (with a minimum two-year follow-up) carried out by the same surgeon revealed no significant difference in Oxford hip scores at one-year post-surgery (OHS DAIR 36.2 vs 39 for control group).Conclusion: This study includes 25 consecutive patients treated with DAIR with only one reinfection, with a mean follow-up period of 5 years.

This was to help decide whether discontinuation might be appropriate in certain instances. Primary outcomes were the number of patients who reached threshold (5.5cm) and the number where intervention was offered. Secondary outcome was cost effectiveness.Methods: A retrospective review of a regional AAA surveillance database was carried out to evaluate outcomes. Data collected included patient age, sex, date of first and last scan, initial and latest size of aneurysm, outcome, time under surveillance and total number of scans. Patients were divided into three groups (80-84 years, 85-89 years and 90+ years).Results: The number of patients in this age group was 354. Only 2.0% (n=7) of patients underwent intervention. Threshold size was achieved in 8.3% (n=18), 14.8% (n=18) and 26.7% (n=4), in the age groups 80-84 years, 85-89 years and 90+ years, respectively. Of these patients, operative intervention was possible in 2.8% (n=6), 0.8% (n=1) and 0% (n=0), respectively.Conclusion: A relatively small number of octogenarians and nonagenarians reach the threshold size during surveillance. An even smaller proportion require repair of their aneurysm. While there may be a role for AAA surveillance in octogenarians in highly selected groups, these data should inform the discussions made with individual patients. It should also inform future evaluation of such surveillance.","PeriodicalId":8088,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England","volume":" ","pages":"642-646"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11365734/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138457465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The role of antibiotic prophylaxis in preventing SSI post-arthroplasty is well established. However, there is considerable heterogeneity in prophylactic prescribing across the United Kingdom (UK), which is contradicted by the contemporaneous evidence. This descriptive study aimed to compare the current first-line antibiotic recommendations across hospitals in the UK and The Republic of Ireland for elective arthroplasty procedures.Methods: The MicroGuide mobile phone application was used to access hospital antibiotic guidelines. First-line antibiotic recommendation and dosing regimen for primary elective arthroplasties were recorded.Findings: A total of nine distinct antibiotic regimens were identified through our search. The most frequently used first-line antibiotic was cefuroxime. This was recommended by 30 of the 83 (36.1%) hospitals in the study. This was followed by a combination of flucloxacillin and gentamicin, which was used by 38 of 124 (31%) hospitals. There was also significant heterogeneity in dosing regimens. A single prophylactic dose was most commonly recommended (52%); 4% of hospitals recommended two prophylactic doses, 19% three doses and 23% four doses.Conclusions: Single-dose prophylaxis is recognised as at least noninferior to multiple-dose prophylaxis in primary arthroplasty. There is considerable variation in the local antibiotic recommendations for surgical site prophylaxis post-primary arthroplasty surgery, with respect to both recommended first-line antibiotic and dosing regimens. With increasing emphasis on the importance of antibiotic stewardship and the emergence of antibiotic resistance, this study highlights the need for an evidence-based approach to prophylactic dosing across the UK.","PeriodicalId":8088,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England","volume":" ","pages":"628-632"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11365728/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9695201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, some of our patients underwent single-visit combined staging with PET/CeCT. We compare this novel pathway with standard separate imaging in time to completion of staging, to start of treatment, and cost.Methods: We identified all patients discussed at our OG multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting in 2020. Clinical records revealed dates of investigations and treatments. Data were tabulated in Excel, with statistical analysis in SPSS. All patients followed the same MDT process and image reviewing criteria. Costs were compared using prices supplied by finance departments.Results: A total of 211 new patients were discussed at our MDT in 2020. Of these, 48 patients had combined PET/CeCT staging, and 68 had separate scans. Median time (interquartile range) in days from OGD to final imaging was 9 (6-23) for the combined group versus 21 (16-28) for the separate group (p≤0.001). Median time (days) from OGD to treatment start was 37 (29-52) for combined versus 55 (40-71) for separate (p≤0.001). No combined scans were of insufficient diagnostic quality for the MDT. PET/CeCT had a potential cost saving of £113 per patient.Conclusions: PET/CeCT allows accurate radiological staging of OG cancers with a single scan. Patients completed staging and started treatment faster, with a potential saving of £10,509 in one year. PET/CeCT has become standard staging at our trust, and we aim to incorporate radiotherapy planning images too.","PeriodicalId":8088,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England","volume":" ","pages":"576-584"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11365727/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138046059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

British Association of Endocrine and Thyroid Surgeons members were invited to participate in an open survey relating to the perioperative management of patients with PPGLs.Results: A total of 2,007 operations for PPGL from 49 participating centres were included. The median annual workload in each centre was four cases. Operations were performed predominantly laparoscopically (69%). The median length of stay (4 days) was the same in groups of surgeons stratified by volume. The survey had 29 respondents from 22 centres across the UK, and a formal protocol for perioperative management exists in 48% of the centres. Phenoxybenzamine (72%) was preferred for alpha-blockade. The practice of admitting patients for optimisation from 1 to 7 days before the day of surgery was common (62%). Central venous pressure and blood glucose monitoring were mentioned as routine intraoperative adjuncts by 72% of the responders.Conclusions: There is significant variation in the workload and perioperative management of PPGLs in the UK.

The years 2020/2021 saw 551,770 symptomatic breast referrals made in England alone. The Wessex Rapid investigations service in conjunction with the local district general hospital and primary care networks instigated a virtual triage for new breast symptoms. Over the course of a year, 664 people were assessed by either telephone or video using specially trained nurses. Appointments were given within 1-2 working days. The service was highly valued by patients and general practitioners. We were unable to confirm a reduction in referral to secondary care as the evaluation occurred during a postpandemic peak in referrals. We found that 10% of patients with new breast symptoms can safely self-manage. This percentage varied with the experience of the triage clinician. A specialist community face-to-face service could reduce further the need for full secondary care evaluation. Better integration and use of information technology systems would improve the service. The rapid responsiveness and length of consultations is valued by patients. Representation with the same symptoms was rare. This pathway utilises staff outside of the usual primary and secondary care providers and thus reduces the pressure on stretched systems.","PeriodicalId":8088,"journal":{"name":"Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England","volume":" ","pages":"596-600"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11365731/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139970813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
