A randomized clinical trial of isolated ambulatory phlebectomy versus saphenous thermal ablation with concomitant phlebe...
Published in The British journal of surgery
Current treatment of patients with saphenous trunk and tributary incompetence consists of truncal ablation with concomitant, delayed or no treatment of the tributary. However, reflux of the saphenous trunk may be reversible after treatment of the incompetent tributary. The aim of this study was to determine whether single ambulatory phlebectomy wit...

This study assessed whether there is an association between changes in publicly and privately funded care for procedures classified as low value by the National Health Service (NHS) in England following implementation of the Evidence-Based Intervention (EBI) programme. Category 1 procedures should not be conducted and are no longer reimbursed by th...
Prognostic role of preoperative circulating systemic inflammatory response markers in primary breast cancer: meta-analys...
Published in The British journal of surgery
Circulating markers of the systemic inflammatory response are prognostic in several cancers, but their role in operable breast cancer is unclear. A systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature was carried out. A search of electronic databases up to August 2020 identified studies that examined the prognostic value of preoperative circulatin...
Benchmarks in colorectal surgery: multinational study to define quality thresholds in high and low anterior resection.
...Published in The British journal of surgery
Benchmark comparisons in surgery allow identification of gaps in the quality of care provided. The aim of this study was to determine quality thresholds for high (HAR) and low (LAR) anterior resections in colorectal cancer surgery by applying the concept of benchmarking. This 5-year multinational retrospective study included patients who underwent ...
Ultrasound-assisted carbon nanoparticle suspension mapping versus dual tracer-guided sentinel lymph node biopsy in patie...
...Published in The British journal of surgery
Appropriate tracing methods for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) play a key role in accurate axillary staging. This prospective, non-inferiority, phase III RCT compared the feasibility and diagnostic performance of ultrasound-assisted carbon nanoparticle suspension (CNS) mapping with dual tracer-guided SLNB in patients with early breast cancer. El...
