Abstract:

Limited surgical capacity remains a major barrier to timely care, particularly in resource-constrained health systems. An estimated five billion people lack access to safe and affordable surgical care, emphasizing the need to improve efficiency within existing resources. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways improve postoperative recovery through standardized perioperative care, and higher protocol adherence is associated with better clinical outcomes. However, the broader health-system effects of ERAS adherence, particularly on hospital bed utilization and surgical capacity, remain insufficiently quantified. This study evaluated the association between ERAS adherence and postoperative outcomes and estimated its impact on hospital bed utilization.

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

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...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.
