But is surgical volume everything? How do hospital volumes of RP weigh in? Could fellowship training in RP reduce the critical volume needed to reach an 'experienced' level?SummaryAs we continue to glean data as to how to optimize outcomes after RP, we must not only consider surgeon and hospital volumes of RP, but also consider training of the individual surgeon.]]> Diagnostic problems with parasitic and non-parasitic splenic cysts http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2482/9/9 Current practice of abdominal wall closure in elective surgery - Is there any consensus? http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2482/9/8 95%, consensus 75–95%, overall agreement 50–75%, no consensus <50%. Results: 157 out of 599 patients were eligible for analysis (85 (54%) midline, 54 (35%) transverse incisions). After midline incisions the fascia was closed continuously in 55 patients (65%), using slowly absorbable (n = 47, 55%), braided (n = 32, 38%) sutures with a strength of 1 (n = 48, 57%). In the transverse setting the fascia was closed continuously in 39 patients (72%) with slowly absorbable (n = 22, 41%) braided sutures (n = 27, 50%) with a strength of 1 (n = 30, 56%). Conclusion: In the present evaluation midline incision was the most frequently applied access in elective open abdominal surgery. None of the treatments for abdominal wall closure (except skin closure in the midline group) is performed on a consensus level.]]> Intraoperative Angiography Should be Standard in Cerebral Aneurysm Surgery http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2482/9/7 Long-term recurrence and complication rates after incisional hernia repair with the open onlay technique http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2482/9/6 Direct intra-abdominal pressure monitoring via piezoresistive pressure measurement: a technical note http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2482/9/5 Transanal endoscopic microsurgery versus endoscopic mucosal resection for large rectal adenomas http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2482/9/4 Comparison of inpatient vs. outpatient anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: a retrospective case series http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2482/9/3 Sentinel lymph node biopsy for breast cancer using methylene blue dye manifests a short learning curve among experienced surgeons: a prospective tabular cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis. http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2482/9/2 A prospective, non-randomized phase-II trial of Trastuzumab and Capecitabine in patients with HER2 expressing advanced pancreatic cancer http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2482/9/1
