Learning Objectives

- Describe the workup and staging of a patient with malignant pleural mesothelioma

- List the subtypes of malignant pleural mesothelioma, characteristics of resectable disease, and patient factors which impact surgical candidacy 

- Describe the approach to an extrapleural pneumonectomy and pleural decortication

- Analyze which surgical approach is best for various subsets of patients

- Describe the adjuvant treatment for malignant pleural mesothelioma

Clinical Challenges in Thoracic Surgery: Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma

Can appendicitis wait until the morning? Join Drs. Ashlie Nadler, Jordan Nantais, Graham Skelhorne-Gross, and Marika Sevigny from our Emergency General Surgery Team as they discuss the role of deferring appendectomies from overnight to the next morning.



Paper 1: Patel SV, Zhang L, Mir ZM, Lemke M, Leeper WR, Allen LJ, Walser E, Vogt K. Delayed Versus Early Laparoscopic Appendectomy for Adult Patients With Acute Appendicitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial. Ann Surg. 2024 Jan 1;279(1):88-93.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37436871/



-Non-inferiority randomized controlled trial comparing delayed appendectomy group with surgery taking place after 0600 the morning following a decision to operate versus the immediate appendectomy group with surgery taking place between 8pm and 4am and within 6 hours of a decision to operate



-A priori non-inferiority margin of 15% for 30-day complications



-Intention-to-treat analysis with risk difference -12% in favor of the delayed group (p < 0.001)



-Superiority as on per protocol analysis



-Underpowered at 91% due to early closure of study due to loss of reliable day time emergency triage operating time



Paper 2: Jalava K, Sallinen V, Lampela H, Malmi H, Steinholt I, Augestad KM, Leppäniemi A, Mentula P. Role of preoperative in-hospital delay on appendiceal perforation while awaiting appendicectomy (PERFECT): a Nordic, pragmatic, open-label, multicentre, non-inferiority, randomised controlled trial. Lancet. 2023 Oct 28;402(10412):1552-1561.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37717589/



-Non-inferiority randomized controlled trial comparing appendectomy within 8 hours versus 24 hours



-No difference in rate of perforation on intention-to-treat or per protocol analyses

Journal Review in Emergency General Surgery: Appendicitis

Before 1952, open heart surgery was considered science fiction. The heart was off limits to surgeons despite more than half a million Americans dying annually from heart disease. Doing nothing was the strategy. However, the status quo would soon change thanks to a few brave and imaginative surgeons who dared to break the most rigid of medical taboos: Do not touch the human heart. We sat down with Dr. Gerald Imber, author of the new book “Cardiac Cowboys: The Heroic Invention of Heart Surgery” to discuss how five men raced to invent an entirely new field of surgery. 



Guests:

Jessica Millar, MD- General Surgery Resident- University of Michigan; Education Fellow- Behind the Knife 

 Nick Teman, MD- Associate Professor of Cardiac Surgery and Critical Care- University of Virginia 

Gerald Imber- Assistant Clinical Professor of Plastic surgery at the Weill-Cornell Medical Center, Attending Surgeon at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, and Director of a private clinic in New York City, NY; Author of “Wendell Black, MD”, “Genius on the Edge: The Bizarre Double Life of Dr. William Stewart Halsted”, and “Cardiac Cowboys: The Heroic Invention of Heart Surgery”. 



Want to hear more from Dr. Imber- be sure to check out his podcast series, Cardiac Cowboys, based on Dr. Imber’s book. You can listen to an introduction of the Cardiac Cowboys series here: https://shorturl.at/rKLM8
