Highlights
Ovarian vein thrombosis is rare, but a life-threatening condition.
It is rarer in non-pregnant women and in patients without history of recent pelvic surgery as the case in our patients.
The most commonly involved vein is the right ovarian vein, although in our case the left ovarian vein was affected.
Diagnosis of ovarian vein thrombosis can be by CT scan or MRI but the initial modality should be doppler ultrasound.
Background:
The satisfaction of surgical residents with their training programs is a key indicator for program effectiveness. This survey was conducted to assess the level of perceived satisfaction of surgical residents with the current training programs in Eastern Saudi Arabia.
Materials and methods:
Resident satisfaction was measured by questionnaire in 119 selected participants at 9 training centers in Eastern Saudi Arabia, as part of the general surgery residency program of Saudi Commission for Health Specialties.
Results:
The survey response rate was 69.7% (83/119) resident participants. A total of 37 (44.6%) residents expressed dissatisfaction with their current training programs. The residents were least satisfied with research opportunities (78.3%), followed by faculty didactic involvement (59%), mentorship (51.8%), and case volume (41%) offered in their programs.
Conclusion:
The general low level of satisfaction among surgical residents in Eastern Saudi Arabia warrants a national review of the current programs. Resident satisfaction should be considered as a potent factor while conferring accreditation to surgical training programs across the country.
Highlights:
Although early results were good, intermediate ones were not satisfactory because of progressive graft thrombosis and formation of new aneurysms. Awareness of these rare cases help for early identification and proper immunosuppressive before emergency vascular intervention is warranted.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
