Research as the gatekeeper: introduction ofrobotic-assisted surgery into the public sector
August 19, 2019
McBride KE, Steffens D, Solomon MJ, Anderson T, Young J, Leslie S, Thanigasalam R, Bannon PG Aust Health Rev 2019 Jul; PMID: 31306613 Abstract Within Australia, robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) has largely been undertaken within the private sector, and predominately based within urology. This is rapidly developing, with RAS becoming increasingly prevalent across surgical specialties and…
Valve-in-Valve TAVR: State-of-the-Art Review
August 19, 2019
Edelman JJ, Khan JM, Rogers T, Shults C, Satler LF, Ben-Dor II, Waksman R, Thourani VH Innovations (Phila) 2019 Aug;14(4):299-310 PMID: 31328655 Abstract An increasing number of surgically implanted bioprostheses will require re-intervention for structural valve deterioration. Valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (ViV TAVR) has become an alternative to reoperative surgery, currently approved for high-risk…

METHODS:…
Outcomes of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for refractory cardiogenic shock: systematic review and meta-analysis
May 21, 2019
Wilson-Smith AR, Bogdanova Y, Roydhouse S, Phan K, Tian DH, Yan TD, Loforte A Ann Cardiothorac Surg 2019 Jan;8(1):1-8 PMID: 30854307 Abstract Background: Despite advances in management techniques and medical therapy, refractory cardiogenic shock remains a life-threatening condition with high mortality rates. The present systematic review and meta-analysis aims to explore the outcomes associated with…
Knowledge and attitudes of theatre staff prior to the implementation of robotic-assisted surgery in the public sector
May 21, 2019
McBride KE, Steffens D, Duncan K, Bannon PG, Solomon MJ PLoS ONE 2019;14(3):e0213840 PMID: 30870503 Abstract BACKGROUND: The use of robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) is becoming increasingly prevalent across a range of surgical specialties within public hospitals around Australia. As a result, it is critical that organisations consider workplace factors such as staff knowledge, attitudes and…
