This is a retrospective analysis of patients status post urgent/emergent sigmoidectomy and diverting loop ileostomy for perforated diverticulitis who later underwent elective ileostomy reversal. Early reversal was safer and more cost effective compared to later reversal. journals.lww.com/jtr...

In this 2025 Oriens Lecture at the 39th EAST Annual Assembly, I chronicle the journey of the University of Chicago Medicine to become a trauma center committed to addressing Equity in Trauma Care and detail the power of relationships to effect change. journals.lww.com/jtr...

The 38th Annual Presidential Address covers Stoic philosophy, why Acute Care Surgeons need it now, and how you can apply it in your life today. journals.lww.com/jtr...

In this biostatistical review, we aim to explain the different types of regression models and their appropriate uses in clinical research. We also aim to familiarize the reader with less commonly types of models that can provide better fit in certain clinical studies. journals.lww.com/jtr...

The JTACS EGS Algorithms Working Group presents an evidence-based practical approach to the initial evaluation and management of Acute Colonic Diverticulitis. journals.lww.com/jtr...

General surgeons are called to participate in and lead the care of adults and children with burn injuries when burn expertise is not available, for patients with combined burns and other injuries, and/or during multiple casualty incidents and disasters. journals.lww.com/jtr...

As French military physicians implied in the medical-surgical support of military operations, we read with great interest the study by Gurney et al. Although we congratulate the authors for their hard work & data analysis, we have two points to add to the conclusions drawn. journals.lww.com/jtr...

A neurosurgeon who served in the American military describes his experience collaborating with colleagues in Ukraine. He also comments on the US military's preparedness for fighting in this new type of warfare. journals.lww.com/jtr...

This scoping review evaluates the utility and limitations of shock index, pediatric age-adjusted (SIPA) and provides guidance on how and when to use SIPA while highlighting gaps in existing pediatric trauma triage research. journals.lww.com/jtr...

Ridesharing services may offer a safer alternative to intoxicated driving. In this EAST systematic review of available literature, the authors conditionally recommend adoption of ridesharing to reduce injuries and deaths related to intoxicated driving. journals.lww.com/jtr...

Our study analyzed the mortality increase at different changepoints in older adults from all-trauma and ground level fall trauma mechanism. We found that in all trauma mechanism the changepoint for mortality is 72 years of age, while in GLF, it is 65 years of age. journals.lww.com/jtr...

This is the first study to quantify physical properties and composition of blood collections in the chest (hemothorax) after severe injury. These collections rapidly contract and increase in strength. Early evacuation is essential to avoid this progression. journals.lww.com/jtr...

Emergency general surgery presentations during nights/weekends were linked to higher rates of interfacility transfers but not mortality. Off-hours admissions may place added strain on resources, highlighting a need for optimized staffing and regional care planning. journals.lww.com/jtr...

Primary repair of AAST grade I and II colon injuries was associated with lower rates of SSI, suture line failure, and fascial dehiscence. Our results suggest that low grade colon injuries can safely be managed with PR alone. #traumaticcoloninjury #primaryrepairissuperior journals.lww.com/jtr...

Interleukin-22 (IL-22) is an important signaling molecule in renal epithelial cell survival and regeneration. The effects of IL-22 administration in rats following a hemorrhage/resuscitation protocol were studied and found protective of renal function. journals.lww.com/jtr...

Transactional and transformational leaderships were positively associated with team resilience behaviors during trauma resuscitations. Opportunities for improvement among trainees suggest adopting an active rather than passive leadership style to promote team performance. journals.lww.com/jtr...

In this study of surgeons’ perspectives on their role in firearm injury prevention, we found that many surgeons believed they had a role in trying to lessen firearm injury risk but had varying opinions on what prevention measures should look like in clinical practice. journals.lww.com/jtr...

When using routine VET to guide resuscitation for hemorrhage, cryoprecipitate transfusion occurred after 7 units of RBCs: plasma and after 10 units of a whole blood incorporated resuscitation. journals.lww.com/jtr...

When facial surgeons review CT scans they can correctly identify patients that require transfer, utilizing a similar system would decrease transfers by more than 50%. journals.lww.com/jtr...

The shedding of hyaluronic acid from the glomerular glycocalyx after hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation resulted in abnormal glomerular protein handling. Plasma resuscitation mitigated the loss of hyaluronic acid and attenuated glomerular dysfunction. journals.lww.com/jtr...

This study compared a novel physiologic closed-loop control (PCLC) algorithm against standard of care (SOC) mechanical ventilation in a large animal hemorrhagic shock and acute respiratory distress model. It was found the PCLC formed equally as well if not superior to SOC. journals.lww.com/jtr...
