Laparoscopic biliary tract injury prevention: zero tolerance, error free performance

Efficacy of turmeric (curcumin) in pain and postoperative fatigue after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled study

“…Laparoscopic surgery has become popular primarily due to better patient-reported outcomes. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is an index laparoscopic surgery for evaluation of various outcome measures [13]. Findings have shown that decreased pain is the primary benefit of LC, but it is still not a pain-free procedure [14].…”

Why the Resistance: Minimally Invasive Pancreaticoduodenectomy—Saving the Patient from Tigers

“…Progress in surgery has been driven by a pleothera of goals with the goal post of improving patient reported outcomes (PRO) [4,5]. In this technology driven era of tech wielding surgeon, web enabled safety conscious patient, hybridization of technologies, gender neutralization in ORs, the PROs have moved towards zero tolerance of adverse outcomes [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. The march of heightened expectations of PROs have been enthusiastically matched by the advances in minimally invasive surgery (MIS).…”

Fast Track Surgery—Minimizing Side Effects of Surgery

“…Patient reported outcomes (PROs) are driving the current march of surgical sciences [7]. The PROs are not only addressing the need for the precision and perfection in clinical outcomes but are bordering at zero tolerance for adverse events, calling at making them Bnever events^ [8,9]. Much of the PRO-related recovery can be defined as the components of postoperative recovery or postoperative convalescence.…”

“…Imagineering, the convergence of innovation, molecular understanding, ancient wisdom, genetic sciences, information technology, nanotechnology, and robotic or minimally invasive sciences will be the future of safe surgical practices to minimize the side effects of surgery [36]. In this era of Bzero tolerance^to adverse events and enhanced emphasis on PROs, it is necessary that surgical practices were geared towards minimizing the side effects of surgery [9,27,[37][38][39]. This will be a fitting tribute to our founding fathers of surgery [40].…”
