A case report of unexpected pathology within an incarcerated ventral hernia (Erica Kane, Katharine Bittner, John Romanelli, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2017)

INTRODUCTION: Incidence of hernial appendicitis is 0.008%, most frequently within inguinal and femoral hernias. Up to 2.5% of appendectomy patients are found to have Crohn's disease. Elucidating the etiology of inflammation is essential for directing ...

Public reporting and transparency: a primer on public outcomes reporting (John Romanelli) All Scholarly Works (2016)

INTRODUCTION: Healthcare consumers seeking accurate information about where to find quality surgical care face a confusing constellation of rating systems that lack transparency or consistency of opinion. For example, a 2016 report in Health Affairs ...

Tension capnopericardium and cardiac arrest as an unexpected adverse event of peroral endoscopic myotomy (with video) (David Desilets, John Romanelli and David Earle) All Scholarly Works (2015)

Computer-based haptic and nonhaptic virtual reality surgical simulators: Performance characteristics and perceptions of new users (John Romanelli, David Lin, Eyad Wohaibi, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2009)

Computer-based laparoscopic and robotic surgical simulators: Performance characteristics and perceptions of new users. (Neal Seymour, David Lin, John Romanelli, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2007)

Expert performance characteristics of a new virtual reality surgical simulator. (Neal Seymour, John Romanelli, David Earle, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2007)

The use of a virtual reality trainer to increase surgical resident skill on complex laparoscopic tasks (Neal Seymour, David Earle, John Romanelli, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2006)

Internal Hernia After Laparoscopic Antecolic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (Mazen Al-Mansour, Romie Mundy, James Canoy, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2015)

BACKGROUND: We evaluated the incidence and presentations of internal hernias (IH) after laparoscopic antecolic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) at our institution. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 594 patients who underwent laparoscopic antecolic RYGB ...

Topic: Recent Innovations in Hernia Surgery (David Desilets and John Romanelli) All Scholarly Works (2015)

Toward scar-free surgery: an analysis of the increasing complexity from laparoscopic surgery to NOTES (John Romanelli) All Scholarly Works (2014)

BACKGROUND: NOTES is an emerging technique for performing surgical procedures, such as cholecystectomy. Debate about its real benefit over the traditional laparoscopic technique is on-going. There have been several clinical studies comparing NOTES to conventional ...

Ramifications of single-port laparoscopic surgery: measuring differences in task performance using simulation. (Nathan Conway, John Romanelli, Ron Bush, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2014)

INTRODUCTION: Single-port laparoscopic surgery imposes unique psychomotor challenges. We used surgical simulation to define performance differences between surgeons with and without single-port clinical experience and examined whether a short course of training resulted in improved ...

Calcium oxalate supersaturation increases early after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (Varun Agrawal, Xiao Liu, Thomas Campfield, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2014)

BACKGROUND: Calcium oxalate (CaOx) nephrolithiasis is an adverse effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB). It is unknown when the increased risk for CaOx stone formation occurs after surgery. METHODS: We studied 13 morbidly obese ...

Starting a peroral endoscopic myotomy program at your institution (David Desilets, John Romanelli and David Earle) All Scholarly Works (2013)

Starting a peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) program can be difficult. There is no substitute for careful planning and execution. Support at every level is required to make a POEM program a reality. There are 5 ...

Prosthetic mesh contamination during NOTES(®) transgastric hernia repair: A randomized controlled trial with swine explants (David Earle, John Romanelli, Philip Omotosho, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2012)

PURPOSE: Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES(®)) is a developing field in minimally invasive surgery that has been applied across a wide range of procedures; however, infectious concerns remain. Most of the applications have been ...

Challenging hernia locations: Suprapubic and subxiphoid (John Romanelli) All Scholarly Works (2012)

Metabolic and neuroendocrine responses to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. I: Energy balance, metabolic changes, and fat loss (Gregory Braden, Xiao Liu, John Romanelli, et al.) All Scholarly Works (2012)

CONTEXT: Obesity is a major health problem. Effective treatment requires understanding the homeostatic responses to caloric restriction. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to study Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients longitudinally for 6 months after surgery to identify ...

NOTES(®) stapled cystgastrostomy: a novel approach for surgical management of pancreatic pseudocysts (David Earle, David Desilets and John Romanelli) All Scholarly Works (2011)

BACKGROUND: Traditional approach for surgical management of mature pancreatic pseudocysts is by internal surgical drainage. Endoscopic drainage procedures have also been described. We describe Natural Orifice Translumenal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES(Â®)) stapled cystgastrostomy as a less ...
