Summary
Acute care surgery programs can integrate elective surgery into their models to combat surgeon burnout. This approach offers solutions to potential obstacles, enhancing practice sustainability and surgeon well-being.
Area of Science:
- Surgical Practice Management
- Healthcare Administration
- Surgeon Well-being
Background:
- Acute care surgery (ACS) models traditionally focus on emergent cases.
- Surgeon burnout is a significant issue in surgical fields.
- Integrating elective surgery into ACS could offer practice stability.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose incorporating elective surgery into acute care surgery practice models.
- To address potential challenges and offer solutions for this integration.
- To highlight the benefits for surgeon well-being and practice sustainability.
Main Methods:
- Review of personal experiences from senior surgeons with active elective practices.
- Discussion of potential obstacles and proposed solutions for integrating elective surgery.
- Analysis of the impact on practice models and surgeon burnout.
Main Results:
- Obstacles to integrating elective surgery are identifiable and surmountable.
- Potential solutions exist to facilitate the incorporation of elective procedures.
- Integration may serve as a protective factor against surgeon burnout.
Conclusions:
- Acute care surgery programs should consider integrating elective surgery.
- This integration can improve practice viability and mitigate burnout.
- Proactive exploration of solutions is key to successful implementation.

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction who remain symptomatic despite optimal medical therapy may undergo a septal myectomy (Morrow procedure). This procedure involves excising a portion of the hypertrophied septum below the aortic valve using a heart-lung machine to improve blood flow through the LVOT. Effective preoperative and postoperative nursing management ensures successful patient outcomes, minimizes complications, and...
