Association Between Surgical Technical Skill and Long-term Survival for Colon Cancer
Menée aux Etats-Unis auprès de 609 patients atteints d'un cancer du côlon traité par colectomie laparoscopique et auprès de 15 chirurgiens, cette étude évalue l'association entre les compétences techniques chirurgicales, examinées à l'aide de la vidéo, et la survie à long terme des patients
Surgical technique is presumed to be an important determinant of patient outcomes. Surgical technical skill, measured by video review, has been associated with postoperative morbidity and histopathologic outcomes. However, it is unknown whether technical skill is associated with long-term survival. Our objective was to assess the association between surgical technical skill and overall survival following colectomy for colon cancer.
