Observational Study About the Impact of Simulation Training of Non-Technical Sk...

Introduction: Recently, simulation as an educational method has gained increasing importance in Medicine. However, medical education has favored the acquisition of individual knowledge and skills, while overlooking the development of teamwork skills. Since most errors in clinical practice are due to human factors, i.e., non-technical skills, the aim of this study was to assess the impact that training in a simu...

Surgeons' perspectives on artificial intelligence to support clinical decision-...

Background Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining traction in medicine and surgery. AI-based applications can offer tools to examine high-volume data to inform predictive analytics that supports complex decision-making processes. Time-sensitive trauma and emergency contexts are often challenging. The study aims to investigate trauma and emergency surgeons’ knowledge and perception of using AI-based tools in cl...

RP-6 PELVIC BINDER APPLICATION – CLASSIC TEACHING METHOD VS VIDEO-BASED LEARNING

Introduction and Goals. The correct placement of the pelvic binder is a life-saving skill, albeit rarely taught (1). The change in the teaching paradigm due to the global pandemic, gives us the perfect opportunity to create new teaching tools. Our goal was to create a multimedia teaching tool on the proper way to place a pelvic binder and assess, using a newly developed score (Figure 1) (2,3), this resource dem...

RP-7 MUDANÇA DE PARADIGMA: TRABALHO DE EQUIPA PARA ALÉM DA EXCELÊNCIA INDIVIDUAL

Introdução e objetivos Nos últimos anos, a simulação como meio de ensino tem ganho destaque em Medicina. Contudo, o ensino médico tem privilegiado a aquisição de conhecimentos e competências individuais, desvalorizando o desenvolvimento de competências de trabalho em equipa. Sendo a maioria dos erros cometidos em Medicina devido ao fator humano, ou seja, às competências não técnicas, pretendemos estudar o impac...

ABDOMINAL WALL CATASTROPHE, THERAPEUTIC STRATEGY – A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF ...

A complete abdominal wall defect (AWD) is life-threatening, has a functional and cosmetic impact on patients’ quality of life and represents a significant challenge for surgeons, requiring a multidisciplinary treatment strategy. The goals of the reconstructive surgery in the management of these defects are to provide stable coverage of the abdominal contents, restore function and achieve complete wound closure....

Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangioscopy and Lithotripsy of Intrahepatic Stones

Advanced hepatic vasculobiliary imaging segmentation and 3D reconstruction as a...

Background: Three-dimensional (3D) models are increasingly used to help surgeons, guiding them through the complex hepatic vasculobiliary anatomy. The biliary tract is a relatively untapped territory with only a few case reports described in medical literature. Our aim is to present an innovative 3D reconstruction methodology for biliary imaging and surgical planning, applied to a case of iatrogenic biliary str...

Prognostic Factors After Hepatectomy for Gastric Adenocarcinoma Liver Metastase...

Purpose: Hepatectomy (Hp) is an alternative approach for the treatment of gastric carcinoma liver metastases (GCLM). However, prognostic factors that may assist patient selection are still controversial. Several pathologic features, such as the growth pattern (GP), associated with prognosis in colorectal cancer liver metastases, were never investigated in GCLM. Our principal aim was to assess if the GP has prog...

Neuroendocrine Carcinoma and Intracystic Papillary Neoplasm: A Rare Association...

Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the gallbladder is a very rare neoplasia comprising only 0.2% of all the gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors. We present the case of an 85-year-old male with nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms, progressive weight loss, and deterioration in the preceding 15 days. Imaging study showed a 5-cm polypoid mass localized at the gallbladder fundus, leading to a radical cholecystectomy. ...

Liver Metastases and Histological Growth Patterns: Biological Behavior and Pote...

Colorectal cancer is a major health burden and despite the recent advances in healthcare and screening programs, a great percentage of patients already present metastases once their disease is found. In those cases, liver surgery has an essential role, but even with neoadjuvant chemotherapy there is a high rate of intrahepatic recurrence. New prognostic factors are needed in order to decide the best surgical ap...
