Congrats to the residents who completed their Masters in Clinical Science degrees and two years of surgical research! Gabrielle Hatton @HealthScoutBlog Oscar A Olavarria, MD MS @ErinMCorsiniMD The UT Houston CSTEP program has had 15 graduates thus far!

Is robotic ventral hernia repair associated with fewer days in the hospital 90 days after surgery compared with laparoscopic repair? This blinded randomized controlled trial by Oscar A Olavarria, MD MS et al investigates ow.ly/D1hv50Ay8s1

Happy to share our work and grateful to those who helped complete this trial UTHealth Surgery UTHealth The BMJ Robotic versus laparoscopic ventral hernia repair: multicenter, blinded randomized controlled trial. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32665218/

Editorial by Kristian K Jensen MD PhD DMSc on our recent paper. Great review process with insightful feedback and transparency The BMJ

Not anti-robot, but pro data instead. Certainly more high-quality studies with designs at low risk for bias are needed to asses benefits of robotics in general surgery. Here our opinion piece: blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2020/07/15…

Compared with laparoscopic ventral hernia repair, robotic repair did not decrease length of stay, nearly doubled operating room time, and significantly increased cost of healthcare, find Oscar A Olavarria, MD MS et al in this randomized controlled trial ow.ly/f9xj50AyHCV

Study found no evidence of a difference in 90 day postoperative hospital days between robotic and laparoscopic ventral hernia repair. However, robotic repair increased operative duration and healthcare costs, writes Oscar A Olavarria, MD MS et al in The BMJ

Glad to share results of our randomized controlled trial on biologic mesh UTHealth Surgery pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33259771/

Pilot study finds that, when compared with synthetic mesh, biologic mesh was associated with almost double the rate of surgical site infections, wound dehiscence and readmissions. ow.ly/3Xqp50DCQPS
