Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a minimally invasive procedure used to replace damaged heart valves, offering patients an alternative to open heart surgery.
Two HSS studies received awards from the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine. One looked at the prevalence of CBD use in patients scheduled for sports medicine surgery. The other compared the need for opioid medication after robotic, computer-assisted or manual hip replacement.
Researchers at Indiana University are working to preserve an important part of a patient鈥檚 identity when they have brain surgery: their hair.
HSS researchers used AI to identify two pain archetypes in patients who had a knee replacement and the most significant predictive factors for severe pain after surgery. Risk factors included younger age, greater physical/mental impairment, higher BMI, and preoperative opioid or gabapentinoid use.

In a study, published in JAMA Oncology, researchers at University of Michigan showed that the proportion of patients undergoing prostatectomy for the lowest-risk type of cancer dropped over fivefold between 2010 to 2024.
Simultaneous bariatric surgery and liver transplant for patients who are severely obese is safe and improves long-term health outcomes, according to a recent Mayo Clinic study. This combined approach offers a needed solution for these patients who are often denied a lifesaving liver transplant due to their weight.
After reviewing hundreds of hours of surgical video, a team led by Cedars-Sinai investigators has created a system that links specific steps performed during a surgical procedure to how well patients recover.
Despite steady increases in rates of immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) after mastectomy, racial disparities in IBR have persisted in the years since implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), reports a study in the May issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery庐, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). The journal is published in the Lippincott portfolio by Wolters Kluwer.
For patients undergoing jaw reconstruction after surgery for head and neck cancer, computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) techniques can improve some key clinical outcomes, reports a study in the May issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery庐, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
The ongoing shortage of donor hearts for children who need them stems from multiple causes, including a lack of donor awareness, organ allocation issues, and not enough organs that are of sufficient quality to transplant. Currently, new hearts for kids are still hard to find, and they are even scarcer for babies. Infants are particularly hard to match with a heart.

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) today announced the launch of its latest surgical risk calculator designed for patients undergoing ascending aorta and aortic root surgery, with or without concomitant aortic valve replacement (AVR).
O m茅todo convencional para tratar pessoas com doen莽a renal avan莽ada tem sido a di谩lise, que elimina os res铆duos do sangue enquanto os pacientes aguardam, por anos, rins de doadores falecidos. Na Mayo Clinic, o cirurgi茫o especializado em transplante, Dr. Mikel Prieto, e seus colegas defendem uma abordagem diferente chamada transplante preemptivo: Rins de doadores em vida est茫o permitindo que muitas pessoas com doen莽a renal avan莽ada recebam transplantes antes que seus rins se deteriorem tanto a ponto de precisarem de di谩lise.

The traditional way to treat people with advanced kidney disease has been to use dialysis to remove waste from the blood while patients wait several years for kidneys from deceased organ donors. At Mayo Clinic, transplant surgeon Dr. Mikel Prieto and colleagues advocate for a different approach called preemptive transplantation: Kidneys from living donors are allowing many people with advanced kidney disease to receive transplants before their kidneys deteriorate so much that they need dialysis.
Patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer who received the immune checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab before, during and after standard-of-care surgery had longer event-free survival without the cancer coming back and higher rates of substantial tumor shrinkage prior to surgery, according to the first interim analysis of a randomized, open-label phase 3 clinical trial led by investigators from Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
