Laparoscopic or open abdominal surgery with thoracotomy for patients with #esophagealcancer: ROMIO #RCT ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znae023 This pragmatic RCT conducted in 8 UK 🇬🇧 centres allocated patients with localized oesophageal cancer to 1⃣hybrid oesophagectomy with minimally invasive gastric mobilization and thoracotomy, or 2⃣open surgery The primary outcome was patient-reported recovery in the 3 months following allocation, measured using the EORTC QLQ-C30 physical function subscale. We found no evidence of a difference in recovery time between hybrid and open surgery, and a similar risk of key complications. Great work by The ROMIO Study Group #SoMe4Surgery #MedTwitter #SurgEd #Surgery @RCPSGTrainees @aecirujanos @SEIQuirurgica @iss_sic #MedicalTechniques @BJSAcademy @young_bjs @BJSOpen @des_winter @evanscolorectal @robhinchliffe1 @bplwijn @ksoreide @MalinASund @nfmkok @TejedorPat @paulo_sutt @PVaughanShaw @JJEarnshaw @juliomayol #some4UGI #uppergi @ISDE_net @Augishealth

How can we make our sustainability initiatives more effective? In the latest #Annals, PN Robinson et al. carry out a systematic review update to determine the reported carbon footprints of surgical operations and identify carbon hotspots. Read more at: ow.ly/XRiT50Q57QY
An abstract for the article. Text reads: The Carbon footprint of surgical operations: a systematic review update. PN Robinson, KSB Surendran, SJ Liam, M Robinson. The MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane library databases were searched. Medical Devices and consumables were the greatest contributor to emissions, with material production and manufacture representing the majority of this carbon hotspot. The systematic review identifies medical devices and consumables as the largest carbon hotspot.
