CME MISSION/PURPOSE AND CONTENT
LEARNING OUTCOMES
The Continuing Medical Education Mission of the American Surgical Association is to provide a national forum for presenting the developing state-ofthe-art and science of general and sub-specialty surgery and the elevation
of the standards of the medical/surgical profession. This mission is accomplished primarily by conducting an annual scientic meeting consisting of
selected presentations containing the most current information available on
clinical and research topics related to surgery or surgical specialties, including studies on outcomes, practice and science of surgery and ethical and
other issues that affect its practice. In addition, the meeting features special
invited speakers who address a variety of topics directly or indirectly related
to the practice of surgery. The meeting is presented for the benet of those
physicians, surgeons and researchers involved in the study, treatment and
cure of diseases associated with the entire spectrum of human disease. The
meeting provides for a free exchange of information and serves the professional needs of the membership and invited guests. The Association’s mission is augmented by the publication of the scientic papers presented at the
annual meeting in the Annals of Surgery, a monthly scientic publication
distributed to subscribers throughout the world and by the publication of the
Proceedings of the Annual Meeting and the scientic papers in the Transactions of the American Surgical Association, an annual publication distributed
to the membership.
At the conclusion of the Annual Meeting, participants should have an
enhanced understanding of the latest techniques and current research specically related to the elds of clinical surgery, experimental surgery and related
sciences, surgical education and the socioeconomic aspects of surgical care.
Through the open discussion periods and the Forum Discussion, participants
will have the opportunity to hear the pros and cons of each paper presented
to gain an overall perspective of their current practices and to utilize results
presented in order to select appropriate surgical procedures and interventions
for their own patients and to integrate state-of-the-art knowledge into their
current practice and/or research.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The Annual Meeting of the American Surgical Association is designed to
provide two and one half days of comprehensive educational experiences
in the elds of clinical surgery, experimental surgery and related sciences,
surgical education and the socioeconomic aspects of surgical care. It is the
Association’s intent to bring together at this meeting the leading surgeons
and scientists from North America and other continents to freely and openly
discuss their latest clinical and research ndings.

ACCREDITATION STATEMENT
This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the Essential Areas and Policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical
Education through the joint providership of the American College of Surgeons
and the American Surgical Association. The American College of Surgeons
is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for
physicians.

FACULTY DISCLOSURE INFORMATION
In accordance with the ACCME Accreditation Criteria, the American College of Surgeons, as the accredited provider of this activity, must ensure
that anyone in a position to control the content of the educational activity
has disclosed all relevant nancial relationships with any commercial interest. Therefore, it is mandatory that both the program planning committee
and speakers complete disclosure forms. Members of the program committee were required to disclose all nancial relationships and speakers were
required to disclose any nancial relationship as it pertains to the content
of the presentations. The ACCME denes a ‘commercial interest’ as “any
entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or
services consumed by, or used on, patients”. It does not consider providers of
clinical service directly to patients to be commercial interests. The ACCME
considers “relevant” nancial relationships as nancial transactions (in any
amount) that may create a conict of interest and occur within the 12 months
preceding the time that the individual is being asked to assume a role controlling content of the educational activity.
ACS is also required, through our joint providership partners, to manage any
reported conict and eliminate the potential for bias during the activity. All
program committee members and speakers were contacted and the conicts
listed below have been managed to our satisfaction. However, if you perceive
a bias during a session, please report the circumstances on the session evaluation form.
Please note we have advised the speakers that it is their responsibility to
disclose at the start of their presentation if they will be describing the use of
a device, product, or drug that is not FDA approved or the off-label use of an
approved device, product, or drug or unapproved usage.
The requirement for disclosure is not intended to imply any impropriety of
such relationships, but simply to identify such relationships through full disclosure and to allow the audience to form its own judgments regarding the
presentation.

Surgery

OBJECTIVE: To clarify whether bowel preparation use, or its individual components (mechanical bowel preparation (MBP)/oral antibiotics)
impact specic outcomes after colorectal surgery.
METHODS: 2012 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program
targeted-colectomy data capture information on the use/type of bowel preparation and colorectal-specic complications. For patients undergoing elective
colorectal resection, the impact of preoperative MBP and antibiotics (MBP/
ABx+), MBP alone (MBP/ABx–) and no bowel preparation (no-prep) on
outcomes, particularly anastomotic leak, SSI and ileus was evaluated using
multivariable logistic regression analyses.
RESULTS: Of 8,368 patients, 2403 (28.7%) had no-prep, 3700
(44.2%) MBP/ABx– and 2265 (27.1%) MBP/ABx+. Baseline characteristics were similar except prior sepsis and steroid-use, both greater in no-prep
patients. MBP with or without antibiotics was associated with reduced ileus
(MBP/ABx+: OR = 0.57 (95% CI: 0.47–0.68), p < 0.0001; MBP/ABx–: OR
= 0.77 (95% CI: 0.67–0.90), p < 0.0001) and SSI (MBP/ABx+: OR = 0.39
(95% CI: 0.32–0.48), p < 0.0001; MBP/ABx–: OR = 0.82 (95% CI: 0.71–
0.96), p = 0.011) versus no-prep. MBP/Abx+ was also associated with lower
anastomotic leak than no-prep (OR = 0.44 (95% CI:0.31–0.62), p < 0.0001.
*By invitation
47
CONCLUSION: These data clarify the near 50-year debate whether
bowel preparation improves outcomes after colorectal resection. MBP with
oral antibiotics reduces by nearly half, SSI, anastomotic leak and ileus, the
most common and troublesome complications after colorectal surgery.

OBJECTIVES: The utility of standard red blood cells (RBCs) is
limited by an abbreviated shelf-life and worsening storage lesion with age.
Cryopreserved red blood cells (CRBCs) are frozen 2–6 days after donation,
stored up to 10 years and washed prior to use potentially providing a fresh
and puried RBC product. We hypothesized that CRBC transfusion would be
equivalent to RBC transfusion in stable trauma patients.
METHODS: We performed a prospective, randomized, double blind
study at 5 level 1 trauma centers. Stable trauma patients requiring transfusion
were randomized to young RBCs (14 storage days), old RBCs (>14 storage
days) or CRBCs. Tissue oxygenation (StO2), biochemical and inammatory
mediators were measured and clinical outcomes were determined.
RESULTS: 256 patients were randomized (84 young, 86 old and 86
CPRBCs). The patients were well-matched for injury severity and demographics (p > 0.2). Pre-transfusion and nal hematocrits were similar (p >
0.68). Patients randomized to CRBCs received 2 units compared to 4 in
the other groups (p < 0.001). Transfusion of old RBCs resulted in reduced
StO2 while transfusion of CRBCs increased it (p < 0.05). CRBCs contained
signicantly less 2-macrogobulin, haptoglobin, c-reactive protein, serum
amyloid P, and free hemoglobin than the other groups (p < 0.001). IL-2 was
elevated in patients who received CRBCs compared to old RBCs (p = 0.04).
There was no difference in organ failure, infection rate or mortality between
the groups (p > 0.22).
CONCLUSIONS: Transfusion of CRBCs is at least as safe and effective as transfusion of young and old RBCs and results in a 50% reduction in
transfused units and increased StO2.

Hill, NC
OBJECTIVE: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) improves breast
conserving therapy (BCT) rates, but the magnitude of this benet in different
tumor subtypes is unknown. To quantify this effect for triple-negative breast
cancer (TNBC), we reviewed surgical outcomes from CALGB (40603), a
randomized phase II trial of weekly paclitaxel (P) ± carboplatin (Cb) followed by doxorubicin plus cyclophosphamide (AC), ± bevacizumab (B).
METHODS: Patients with stage II-III TNBC were randomized to (1)
P- > AC, (2) P + B- > AC + B, (3) P + Cb- > AC, or (4) P + Cb + B- > AC +
B. The surgeon assessed BCT candidacy based on clinico-radiographic criteria, before and after NACT, though subsequent surgical management was
at surgeon and patient discretion. We recorded (1) the conversion rate from
BCT-ineligible to BCS-eligible; (2) the rate of successful BCT.
RESULTS: 406 of the 443 treated patients were assessable. Prior to
NACT, 230 (57%) were considered BCT candidates and 176 (43%) were
not. 190/230 (83%) remained BCT candidates after NACT; of 135 who chose
BCT, it was successful in 126 (93%). 88/176 (50%) patients initially considered non-candidates were converted to candidates, of who 55 chose BCT
with 49/44 (89%) success rate (Table 1). 278 patients who were BCT candidates post-NACT, 88 (32%) chose mastectomy.

CONCLUSIONS: This is the rst NACT trial to prospectively quantify a 50%-conversion rate from BCT-ineligible to eligible in TNBC. PostNACT: BCT was successful in 92% who chose this approach, however 32%
of BCT-eligible patients chose mastectomy.
OBJECTIVES: The management of traumatic brain injury (TBI)
has been evolving with trends towards management of minimally injured
patients with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) exclusively by trauma surgeons.
The aim of this study was to assess safety and use of resources as a result of
this change in management.
METHODS: A prospective 5-year (2009–2014) database on all TBI
(skull fracture/ICH on head CT) patients presenting to a Level I trauma center was analyzed for patient demographics, injuries, admission physiology,
CT scan results, and hospital outcomes. These records were matched to the
institutional registry and hospital nancial database.
RESULTS: A total of 2,184 patients were included with mean age
43.4±26.1 years, median Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) 13 [9–15], and median
head-abbreviated injury scale (h-AIS) 3 [2–3]. The distribution of types and
size of intracranial bleeds remained unchanged throughout the study period.
The proportion of TBI managed exclusively by trauma surgeons increased
signicantly over the years from 6.8% to 40.1%. (p < 0.001). Total number
of neurosurgical consultations, head CT scans, hospital length of stay and
costs decreased signicantly over time. The overall mortality rate (18.5%)
remained unchanged.

as reasons to pursue SF. Both groups expressed a high degree of satisfaction
with their career choice (GS, 94%; SF, 90%).
CONCLUSIONS: Most graduates who pursue GS practice are condent and content. The decision to pursue GS is strongly inuenced by a GS
mentor. Lack of condence may be a more signicant factor for choosing
SF. These ndings suggest opportunity for improvements in condence and
mentorship during residency.

OBJECTIVE: Surgery residency serves two purposes – prepare graduates for general surgery (GS) practice or post-residency surgical fellowship (SF). This study was undertaken to elucidate factors inuencing career
choice for these two groups.
METHODS: All U.S. allopathic surgery residency graduates 2009–
2013 (n = 5512) were surveyed by the American Board of Surgery regarding
condence, autonomy and reasons for career selection between GS and SF.
Surveys were distributed by mail in November 2013 with follow up mailings
to non-respondents.
RESULTS: 3354 graduates (68%) completed the survey; 26% pursued
GS and 74% SF. GS expressed greater levels of condence than SF across the
common surgical procedures queried. Condence improved with years after
completion of residency for GS but not SF. The decision to pursue GS or SF
was made during residency by 77% and 74%, respectively. 57% of those who
chose GS indicated a GS mentor signicantly inuenced their decision. GS
rated procedural variety, opportunity for practice autonomy, choice of practice location, and inuence of a mentor as reasons to pursue GS practice. SF
listed control over scope of practice, prestige, salary, and specialty interest

UW Medicine Regional Burn Center, Harborview Medical
Center, Seattle, WA
OBJECTIVE: Burn injuries and other partial-thickness wounds often
lead to hypertrophic scarring (HTS), a debilitating sequela with racial predisposition that suggests a genetic mechanism. We sought to identify singlenucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with HTS.
METHODS: We conducted a genome-wide association study in a prospective cohort of adults admitted with deep-partial-thickness burns. Scar
severity was assessed over time using the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS), and
DNA was genotyped with a >500,000-marker array. We performed association testing of SNPs with minor allele frequency (MAF) >0.01 using linear
regression of VSS height score on genotype adjusted for patient- and injury
characteristics as well as population substructure. Genome-wide signicance
was based on Bonferroni correction for multiple testing.
RESULTS: Of 538 patients (median age 40 years, median burn size
6.0% body surface area), 71% were male and 76% were white. The mean
VSS height score was 1.2 (range: 0-3). Of 289,639 SNPs tested, a variant in
the “CUB and Sushi multiple domains 1” (CSMD1) gene (rs11136645; MAF
= 0.49), was signicantly associated with decreased scar height (regression
coefcient = -0.23, p = 7.9 × 10-8; Figure).
*By invitation
CONCLUSIONS: We report the rst SNP associated with reduced
severity of post-burn HTS. A common intron variant in the CSMD1 gene is
associated with decreased scar height, suggesting an anti-brogenic effect.
CSMD1 is a known tumor-suppressor implicated in colorectal cancer, underscoring the commonality of morphogenetic responses.

specic Th1-dominant CD4 + T-cell responses and CD8 + T-cell responses
through epitope spreading. We hypothesized that survival of patients with
stage IV melanoma vaccinated with 6MHP would exceed that of unvaccinated matched controls.
METHODS: The 6MHP vaccine was administered to patients
with metastatic melanoma on two clinical trials (NCT00089219 and
NCT00118274). Circulating CD4 + T-cell responses were measured by proliferation or direct IFN-gamma ELIspot assay. Overall survival of vaccinated
patients was compared to unvaccinated controls matched by age, metastatic
site, and resection status. Factors associated with survival were identied by
multivariable Cox proportional hazards analysis incorporating all variables
used for matching.
*By invitation

RESULTS: All 36 vaccinated patients were matched 1:1 by metastatic
site, resection, and age within 5 years. Median survival was signicantly
longer for vaccinated patients (5.4 vs 0.6 years, p < 0.001, Figure 1), among
which 67% (24/36) mounted a specic CD4 + T-cell response. In multivariable analysis, vaccination was the strongest predictor of survival (HR
0.176, p < 0.001). Among vaccinated patients, immune response (HR 0.29,
p = 0.021) and resection (HR 0.06, p < 0.001) were signicant predictors of
survival.
CONCLUSIONS: Helper peptide vaccination is associated with
favorable survival among patients with metastatic melanoma. These data
support a randomized prospective trial of the 6 MHP vaccine.

California San Francisco, San Francisco, CA
OBJECTIVES: Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) provides
an important surgical option for end-stage liver disease. The Adult-to-Adult
Living Donor Liver Transplantation Cohort Study (A2ALL), the rst multicenter prospective NIH study for LDLT, compared survival benet between
LDLT and deceased donor liver transplant (DDLT) at experienced transplant
centers. Post-transplant outcomes up to 10 years were compared and key
variables impacting survival identied.
METHODS: Outcomes of 1428 liver recipients (964 LDLT) enrolled
in A2ALL transplanted between 1/1/1998 and 1/31/2014 at 12 North American centers with median follow-up 4.8 years were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier
and multivariable Cox models of time from transplant to death or graft failure were performed.
RESULTS: LDLT recipients had higher prevalence of white race, less
HCV/HCC, lower mean MELD (15.4 vs 20.4), and fewer were transplanted
from ICU, inpatient, on dialysis, ventilated, or with ascites. Post-transplant
ICU days were less for LDLT. Patient 10-yr survival was 70% (LDLT) and
66% (DDLT). Unadjusted survival was higher with LDLT (P = 0.05) but
attenuated after adjustment (P = 0.69). For all recipients, female gender and
PSC were associated with improved survival. Factors associated with worse
survival were dialysis, and older recipient/donor age. Era of transplantation
and type of donated lobe did not signicantly impact survival.
SUMMARY: Both LDLT and DDLT provide outstanding long-term
survival. LDLT provides signicant benet resulting in transplantation at a
lower MELD score, decreased death on waitlist, and excellent post-transplant outcomes. Recipient diagnosis, renal failure and ages of recipient and
donor should be considered in decision-making regarding timing of transplant and donor options.

OBJECTIVE(S): Approximately 5% of children with Wilms tumor
present with bilateral disease, resulting in about 25 cases/year in the United
States. The treatment challenge is to achieve a high cure rate while maintaining long-term renal function. We retrospectively reviewed our institutional
experience with nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) in patients with bilateral
Wilms tumor (BWT) between 2001–2014.
METHODS: Imaging studies, surgical approach and pathology reports
were reviewed. Outcomes evaluated included surgical complications, tumor
recurrence, patient survival and renal function, as assessed by estimated glomerular ltration rate or radionuclide scans.
RESULTS: Forty-two patients with BWT were identied; 39 (92.9%)
patients underwent bilateral NSS and 3 underwent unilateral nephrectomy
with contralateral NSS. One additional patient with a solitary kidney underwent NSS on that kidney. Acute post-operative complications included prolonged urine leak (10), hospital-acquired infection (6), intussusception (1)
and transient renal insufciency (1). Five patients required early (within four
months) redo NSS for residual tumor. Overall survival was 88.4% (mean
follow-up, 3.8 years). Of the 5 patients who died, 4 had disease of anaplastic
histology (2 had focal anaplasia at initial resection, 2 had diffuse anaplasia
at recurrence). Long-term, seven patients had local tumor recurrence (managed with redo NSS in 6 and completion nephrectomy in 1) and four had an
episode of intestinal obstruction. All patients had GFR > 60mL/min/1.73m2
at last follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with bilateral Wilms tumor, bilateral
nephron-sparing surgery is safe and almost always feasible, thereby saving
maximal renal parenchyma. With this approach, survival was excellent, as
was maintenance of long-term renal function.

OBJECTIVE(S): Trauma patients are at high risk for life-threatening venous thromboembolic (VTE) events. We examined the relationship
between prophylactic inferior vena cava (IVC) lter use, mortality, and VTE
complications.
METHODS: Trauma quality collaborative data (2010-2014) were
analyzed. Patients were excluded with no signs-of-life, injury severity score
<9, hospitalization <3 days, or who received IVC lter after occurrence of a
VTE event. Risk adjusted rates of IVC lter placement were calculated and
hospitals placed into quartiles of IVC lter use. Mortality rates by quartile
were compared. We determined the association of deep venous thrombosis
(DVT) with presence of an IVC lter accounting for type and timing of initiation of chemical VTE prophylaxis in addition to standard trauma patient
confounders.
*By invitation
63
RESULTS: A prophylactic IVC lter was placed in 799 (2%) of
39,114 patents. Hospitals exhibited signicant variability (0.7 to 9.9%) in
adjusted rates of IVC lter utilization (Figure-Left). Rates of IVC placement within quartiles were 0.8, 1.4, 2.3, and 4.3% respectively. IVC lter
use quartiles showed no variance in mortality (Figure-Right). Adjusting for
chemical prophylaxis and patient factors, prophylactic IVC lter placement
was associated with an increased incidence of DVT (Odds Ratio = 2.76; 95%
CI, 1.96–3.9).
CONCLUSIONS: High rates of prophylactic IVC lter placement
have no effect on reducing trauma patient mortality and are paradoxically
associated with an increase in DVT events.

OBJECTIVE(S): Bariatric surgery is currently the only long-lasting
treatment for morbid obesity. However, these weight loss procedures could
result in development of gut failure (GF) with need for total parenteral nutrition (TPN). This retrospective study is the rst to address the anatomic and
functional spectrum of bariatric surgery-associated GF with innovative surgical modalities to restore gut functions.
METHODS: Over a 20-year period, 1,200 patients were referred
with GF. Of these, 110 (9%) had prior bariatric surgery; 97 (88.3%) gastricbypass, 5 (4.5%) sleeve gastrectomy, 4 (3.6%) gastric banding and 4 (3.6%)
jejunoileal-bypass. Causes of gut failure were major surgical complications
(65%), dysmotility (25%), and malabsorption (10%). Catastrophic events
included technical failure with gastric/enteric stulae, internal herniation,
and vascular thrombosis due to hypercoagulability. TPN duration ranged
from 4 to 250 months. All patients were adults with 85% females. Multidisciplinary comprehensive medical and surgical rehabilitation was applied.
RESULTS: Foregut reconstruction was performed in all patients with
gastrogastric (77%), gastroesophageal (13%), jejunoesophageal (7%), and
colonic interposition (3%) anastomoses. Midgut reconstruction was required
in 76% of patients. Bowel lengthening was performed in 16%. Visceral transplantation was utilized as a rescue therapy in 22 (16%) patients with intestine
alone in 16 (73%) and composite visceral allograft in 6 (27%). With mean
follow-up of 52 + 34 months, 98% of surgically reconstructed patients and
73% of transplanted recipients were alive with achievement of full nutritional autonomy in 89%.
CONCLUSIONS: Gut failure is a potential complication of bariatric
surgery due to a technically awed operation and loss of gut homeostasis.
Successful outcome can be achieved with major restorative surgical procedures including visceral transplantation as a rescue therapy.

Resection Margin and Survival in 2371 Patients Undergoing
Hepatic Resection for Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: Surgical
Technique or a Biologic Surrogate?

OBJECTIVE(S): The impact of margin width on overall survival
(OS) in the context of other prognostic factors after resection for colorectal
liver metastases (CRLM) is unclear. We evaluated the relationship between
resection margin and OS utilizing high-resolution distance measurements.
METHODS: A single-institution prospectively collected database
was queried for all patients who underwent an initial complete resection of
CRLM between 1991–2012. R1 resection was dened as tumor cells at the
resection margin (0 mm). R0 resection was further divided into 3 groups:
0.1–0.9 mm, 1–9 mm, 10 mm. Multivariate analysis used stepwise Cox
regression.
RESULTS: 2371 patients were included. Half of the patients presented
with synchronous disease, 43% had solitary metastasis, and the median size
was 3.4cm. With a median follow-up for survivors of 55 months, the median
OS of the R1, 0.1–0.9 mm, 1–9 mm, and 10 mm groups were 32, 40, 53,
and 56 months, respectively. Predictors of OS are described in Table 1, which
demonstrates that even submillimeter margins correlate with improved OS
compared to R1 resection (p = 0.02). The association between the margin and
OS remained signicant regardless of chemotherapy and clinicopathologic
prognostic factors.
CONCLUSIONS: Resection margin width is an independent predictor
of OS. The improved outcome observed with margin width up to submillimeter clearance is likely a microscopic surrogate of an undened biologic
confounder rather than the result of surgical technique.

OBJECTIVES: Ablative therapies have been increasingly utilized in
treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) is an energy delivery system, effective in ablating tumors
by inducing irreversible cell membrane destruction of cells. We aimed to
demonstrate efcacy of treatment with IRE as part of multimodal treatment
of LAPC.
METHODS: From July 2010 to October 2014, patients with radiographic stage III LAPC were treated with IRE and monitored under a multicenter, prospective IRB-approved registry. Perioperative 90-day outcomes,
local failure, and overall survival were recorded and compared to standard of
care data for stage III LAPC.
RESULTS: 200 patients with LAPC underwent IRE of tumor (In-Situ,
n = 150) or IRE with pancreatic ±arterial resection (Margin, n = 50). All
patients underwent induction chemotherapy, with an additional 52% receiving chemo-radiation, for a median of 7 months (range, 5–13) prior to IRE
(Figure). IRE was successfully administered to all patients. 19% sustained
complications with a median grade of 2 (range, 1–3). Median length of stay
was 6 days (range, 4–58). With a median follow up of 25 months, 6 (3%)
had local recurrence. Median overall survival (OS) in both groups was 23.5
months (Figure).

Current antibiotic prophylaxis for vascular procedures includes a rst
generation cephalosporin No changes in recommendations have occurred
despite changes in reports of incidence of MRSA related surgical site infections. Does supplemental anti-MRSA prophylactic coverage provide a signicant reduction in gram + or MRSA infections?.
METHODS: Single center prospective double blinded randomized
study of patients undergoing lower extremity vascular procedures from
2010-2014. 178 patients evaluable at 90 days for surgical site infection.
Infections were categorized as early infections <90 days of the index procedure and late after 90 days.
*By invitation
70
RESULTS: Early vascular Surgical site infection occurred in 6 (7.06%)
of patients in the Vancomycin arm, and 11 (11.83%) in the Daptomycin arm.
(p = .27). Gram positive related infections and MRSA infections occurred
in 0%/0% of Vancomycin patients and 2 (2.15%)/7 (7.53%) of Daptomycin
patients respectively (p < 0.01 & p = 0.49). Readmissions related to surgical site infections occurred in 4 (4.71%) in the Vancomycin group and 11
(11.8%) in the Daptomycin group (p = 0.083). Patients undergoing operative
exploration occurred in 4 (4.71%) in the Vancomycin group and 10 (10.75%)
of the Daptomycin group (p = .128). Late infections occurred in 2 patients in
both arms. Median hospital charges related to readmissions related to surgical site infections were in the Vancomycin supplemented and Daptomycin
supplemented patients was 45,450 dollars and 51,182 dollars respectively.
(p = 0.79)
CONCLUSION: Vancomycin supplemental prophylaxis appears to
reduce the incidence of gram positive infection compared to adding supplemental Daptomycin prophylaxis. The Incidence of MRSA related surgical
site infection is low with the addition of either anti-MRSA agents compared
to historical incidence of MRSA related infection.

Early Versus Late Hospital Readmission After Major
Procedures Among Patients with Employer-Provided
Health Insurance

Johns Hopkins, Baltimore, MD
INTRODUCTION: Most studies report only data on readmission
within 30-days of discharge from the same hospital. These data may underestimate readmission, as patients may be readmitted beyond 30-days and/
or at other hospitals. We sought to dene the incidence of early versus late
hospital readmission among surgical patients.
METHODS: Patients discharged after ten major surgical procedures
(CABG, AAA, carotid endarterectomy, aortic valve replacement, esophagectomy, pancreatectomy, lobectomy, hepatectomy, colectomy, and cystectomy)
between 2010–2012 were identied from a large employer-sponsored health
plan.
RESULTS: 228,144 patients were identied; mean patient age was 52.6
years, 58.2% were male, and 40.7% had Charlson Comorbidity Index of 2.
Median (IQR) length-of-stay was 5 (3, 8) days. Among the 73,498 (32.2%)
patients who experienced readmission, 27,523 (37.5%) had a readmission
within 30-days while 16,208 (22.1%) were readmitted within 31–90 days.
In-hospital mortality was higher among patients re-admitted early (2.7% vs.
1.9%, P < 0.001). Among patients readmitted, 45.7% were re-admitted to a
different hospital than where the index procedures had been performed. Both
early (index hospital:63.0% vs. non-index hospital:37.0%) and late (index
hospital:60.0% vs. non-index hospital:40.0%) readmissions were more likely
to occur at the index hospital (P = 0.007). In-hospital mortality at index vs.
non-index hospitals either among patients with early readmission (index hospital: 3.0% vs. non-index hospital: 2.7%) or late readmission (index hospital:1.3% vs. non-index hospital:2.2%) was comparable (both P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Most readmissions occurred beyond 30-days, with
approximately half of them occurring at non-index hospitals after major
surgical procedures. Assessment of only 30-day same hospital readmissions
underestimates the true incidence of re-hospitalization.

OBJECTIVE(S): Resuscitative thoracotomy (RT) is a high-risk, lowsalvage procedure performed in arresting trauma patients. The indications for
performing this emergent procedure are poorly dened and are based on low
quality primarily retrospective data. The purpose of this study was to examine the ability of FAST to discriminate between survivors and non-survivors
undergoing RT after traumatic arrest.
METHODS: All patients undergoing RT from 10/2010–05/2014 were
prospectively enrolled. A bedside parasternal/subxiphoid cardiac ultrasound
was performed prior to or concurrent with RT. The FAST was captured as
equivocal or adequate with the presence/absence of pericardial uid and/or
wall motion. A sensitivity analysis utilizing the primary outcome measure of
survival to discharge or organ donation was performed.
RESULTS: Overall, 187 patients arrived in traumatic arrest and underwent FAST. Mean age 35.0 (1–84), 84.5% male, 51.3% penetrating. Loss
of vitals occurred in the eld in 48.1%, en-route in 24.6% and in the ED in
27.3%. 77.5% underwent emergent left thoracotomy and 22.5% a clamshell.
Sustained cardiac activity was regained in 49.7% however overall survival
was only 3.2% with 1.6% proceeding to organ donation. FAST was equivocal in 3.7%, 28.9% demonstrated wall motion and 9.1% pericardial uid.
FAST was 100% sensitive and 62% specic for the identication of survivors
and potential donors.
CONCLUSIONS: With 100% sensitivity for the detection of survivors after traumatic arrest, FAST represents an effective method of separating those that do not warrant the risk and resource burden of resuscitative
thoracotomy from potential survivors. Prospective multicenter validation is
warranted.

OBJECTIVE(S): The prognostic signicance of molecular signature
in thyroid cancer (TC) is undened but is expected to markedly change surgical management. Our aim is to correlate TC genotype to histology and
outcomes.
METHODS: We reviewed a consecutive series of 1,510 patients
who had initial thyroidectomy for TC from 2/07–6/13 with routine testing
for BRAF, RAS, RET/PTC, and PAX8/PPARg genetic alterations. Histologic metastatic or recurrent TC was tracked 6 months after oncologic
thyroidectomy.
RESULTS: Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) was diagnosed in 97%,
and poorly-differentiated/anaplastic TC in 0.9%. Genetic alterations were
detected in 1,039 (70%); the most common mutations were BRAFV600E
(644/1039, 62%) and RAS isoforms (323/1039, 31%). BRAFV600E-positive PTC was often conventional or tall-cell variant (58%), with frequent
extrathyroidal extension (ETE, 51%) and lymph node metastasis (LNM,
46%). Conversely, RAS-positive PTC was commonly follicular-variant
(87%), with infrequent ETE (4.6%) and LNM (5.6%). BRAFV600E- and
RET/PTC-positive PTCs were histologically similar. Analogously, RAS- and
PAX8/PPARg-positive PTCs were histologically similar. Compared to RASor PAX8/PPARg-positive TC, the TC expressing BRAFV600E or RET/PTC
were more often associated with TNM stage III/IV at presentation (40% v.
15%, p < .001) and early recurrence (10% v. 0.7%, p < .001; mean followup
33±21months). Distant metastasis was highest in patients with RET/PTCpositive TC (10.8%, p = .02).
CONCLUSIONS: In this unique, large study of prospective mutation testing in unselected patients with thyroid cancer, molecular signature
predicted distinctive tumor phenotypes including TC with higher risks of
both distant metastasis and early recurrence. Preoperative genotype provides
valuable prognostic data to appropriately inform surgical care.

OBJECTIVE: To compare molecular imaging to frozen section analysis for intraoperative diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs).
BACKGROUND: Intraoperative frozen section analysis of indeterminate SPNs guides the extent of pulmonary resection. Frozen sectioning is time consuming and susceptible to error, and alternative diagnostic
modalities have been unsuccessfully pursued for decades. We report a novel
molecular imaging technology that rapidly and accurately diagnoses primary
pulmonary adenocarcinomas, which are the most common SPNs.
METHODS: Thirty consecutive patients with an indeterminate SPN
were preoperatively administered a contrast agent specic for primary pulmonary adenocarcinomas. During surgery, SPNs were removed and molecular imaging was used to identify primary adenocarcinomas. Frozen section
analysis was performed, and immunohistochemical diagnosis served as the
gold standard to compare the diagnostic techniques.
RESULTS: Molecular imaging identied 19 of 19 primary adenocarcinomas and correctly predicted those patients that should undergo a
lobectomy. There were no false positive diagnoses despite two metastatic
adenocarcinomas. Frozen section identied 13 (68%) primary adenocarcinomas, and a false negative diagnosis incorrectly altered the management
in one patient. Molecular imaging required 2.4 minutes compared to 26.5
minutes for frozen section (p < 0.001).
*By invitation
CONCLUSIONS: This proof-of-principle study demonstrates that
molecular imaging has superior positive predictive value for primary adenocarcinomas and is signicantly faster than frozen section. Targeted contrast
agents can be developed for other tumors, and this technology can be broadly
applied in surgical oncology.

OBJECTIVE(S): Total-Pancreatectomy and islet-cell-auto transplantation (TP/IAT) is being increasingly utilized for the management of chronicpancreatitis (CP). However, the outcome predictors of this operation remain
unclear.
METHODS: 581 patients (including 91 children) undergoing TP/
IAT for the treatment of CP at a single-center were analyzed. End points
included persistent “Pancreatic pain” similar to pre-surgery, narcotic use for
any reason and insulin dependence (multiple daily doses/C peptide negative) at 1 year follow up. Forward and backward step-wise regression models
were used to create the 3 best tting multivariate-logistic-regression models.
Potential risk factors included: patient characteristics, surgery related factors
(e.g., pancreas brosis and islet yield) and previous surgeries and procedures.
RESULTS: Patients had a mean ± SD 6.94 ± 6.6 years duration of
pancreatitis and 3 ± 2.6 years of narcotic use prior to TP-IAT. Pediatric
patients (OR 0.3,LCL 0.88, UCL 0.58,p = 0.001) performed better in all
three outcomes. Among the adults, for persistent “pancreatic-pain” at 1 year,
increasing body mass, familial etiology, pancreas divisum, prior Whipple,
and ERCP/>3 stents were independent risk factors. Previous ERCP/>3 stents
were associated with increase in narcotic use. Prior Puestow/distal pancreatecotmy were associated with lower narcotic use. With adjustment for islet
yield, an alcohol etiology and previous Puestow were independent risk factors for insulin dependence (all stats listed in Figure1).
*By invitation
CONCLUSIONS: This represents the largest series examining risk
factors, outcomes after TP/IAT. The identied patient groups warrant further
attention prior to TP-IAT.

The Relationship Between Margin Width and Local
Recurrence (LR) of Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS):
3001 Women Treated with Breast-Conserving Surgery
(BCS) Over 30 Years
Kimberly J. Van Zee, Preeti D. Subhedar*, Cristina Olcese*,
Sujata Patil*, Monica Morrow
OBJECTIVE: While DCIS has minimal mortality, LR rates after BCS
remain signicant, and half of LR are invasive. Positive margins are associated with increased risk of LR, but there is no consensus regarding optimal
margin width. Our goal was to investigate the relationship between margin
width and LR in a large population of women with long follow-up.
METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed a prospective database of
DCIS patients undergoing BCS from 1978–2010. Cox proportional hazard
models were used to investigate the association between margin width and
LR.
RESULTS: 3001 women were identied; 2713 had complete data. 324
recurred. Median follow-up for women without LR was 74 mo (range 0-30
years); 680 were followed for 10 yrs. Controlling for age (p < 0.001), family history (p = 0.02), clinical vs. radiologic presentation (p = 0.02), number
of excisions (p = 0.006), radiotherapy (RT) (p < 0.0001), endocrine therapy
(p < 0.0001), and year of surgery (p = 0.002), margin width was signicantly
associated with LR (p = 0.0004) in the entire population. Larger negative
margins were associated with lower hazard ratio (HR) compared to positive
margins (Table). An interaction between RT and margin width was signicant (p < 0.02); the association of LR with margin width was signicant in
those without RT (p < 0.0001)(Table), but not in those with RT (p = 0.9).

OBJECTIVE: En bloc resection and reconstruction of involved major
vessels is being increasingly performed during sarcoma surgery, however the
outcomes of this strategy are not well described.
METHODS: Patients undergoing sarcoma resection with (VASC)
and without (NO-VASC) vascular reconstruction were 1:2 matched on site,
histology, grade, size, synchronous metastasis, and primary (vs. repeat)
resection. R2 resections were excluded. Endpoints included perioperative
morbidity, mortality, recurrence, and survival.
RESULTS: From 2000 to 2014, 53 sarcoma patients underwent VASC
resection. These were matched with 106 NO-VASC patients having similar clinicopathologic characteristics (Table). Perioperative complications
(74% vs. 43%, P < 0.001), grade 3/4 complications (36% vs. 19%, P = 0.02),
transfusion (68% vs. 34%, P < 0.001), and reoperation (26% vs. 10%, P =
0.018) were all more common in the VASC group. Thirty-day (2% vs. 0%,
P = 0.33) or 90-day mortality (6% vs. 2%, P = 0.19) were not signicantly
higher. Local recurrence (25% vs. 36%, P = 0.19) and survival after resection
(5-year, 58% vs. 51%, P = 0.56) were similar between the two groups. Within
the VASC group, survival after venous only (n = 18), arterial and venous (n
= 19), or arterial only (n = 16) reconstruction was comparable (5-year, 72%,
61%, 51%, P = 0.33).
CONCLUSIONS: This is the rst matched case-control study examining the impact of concomitant vascular reconstruction on sarcoma resection
outcomes. These operations are associated with considerable morbidity and
require meticulous multidisciplinary planning. However, the oncologic outcome appears equivalent to cases without vascular involvement.

Management of the Parathyroid Glands in Preventative
Thyroidectomy for Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2
Jeffrey F. Moley, Kathryn A. Rowland, Linda Jin*,
Amber L. Traugott, Michael A. Skinner*, Samuel A. Wells
OBJECTIVES: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 is characterized
by a near 100% risk of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Genetic testing identies gene carriers in affected families and allows performance of
preventative thyroidectomy. Management of the parathyroids in these operations is controversial, with some experts advocating total parathyroidectomy
with autotransplantation, and others leaving the parathyroids in situ.
METHODS: Between 1993 and 2003 we performed 50 preventative thyroidectomies. All patients had central neck dissection (CND), total
parathyroidectomy and autotransplantation to the non-dominant forearm,
regardless of preoperative calcitonin level (Group A). Between 2003 and the
present, the lead author performed 95 preventative thyroidectomies, leaving
the parathyroids in situ with an intact vascular pedicle (group B). Individual
parathyroids were autotransplanted only if they appeared non-viable. CND
was done only if calcitonin was greater than 40pg/ml.
RESULTS: Permanent hypoparathyroidism occurred in 3/50 patients
in group A, vs 1/95 in group B (p = 0.1184). There were no permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve injuries in either group. No patient developed subsequent
hyperparathyroidism. Recurrence/persistence of MTC requiring re-operation
occurred in 2 patients in group A, and in 1 patient in group B (though followup is longer in group A, and several group B patients currently have elevated
calcitonin). No patients have died.
CONCLUSIONS: Routine total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation and CND during preventative thyroidectomy has excellent longterm results. Preservation of the parathyroids in situ during preventative
thyroidectomy, and selective central neck dissection based upon calcitonin
level in MEN 2 gene carriers is an effective and safe alternative.

OBJECTIVE: We report initial ndings of a voluntary national public
reporting program using Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) clinical data
and quality metrics for index procedures.
METHODS: In 9 consecutive semi-annual STS performance rating
periods (2010–2014), we studied public reporting participation rates as well
as the distributions of risk-adjusted mortality rates, composite performance
scores (risk-adjusted morbidity and mortality for each cardiac operation, plus
two process measures for CABG), star ratings, and volumes for reporting
versus non-reporting sites.
RESULTS: Among 8,929 unique STS Database participant rating
opportunities (generally hospital/program level), sites were classied as low
performing in 916 (10.3%) instances, average in 6,801 (76.2%), and high
performing in 1,212 (13.6%). Overall public reporting participation rates
ranged from 23.8% in 2010 to 41.8% in October 2014. Risk-adjusted mortality rates for isolated CABG were consistently lower in public reporting
sites than in non-reporting sites (e.g., 2.1% versus 2.4%, P = 0.03, in the rst
rating period of 2014). Composite performance scores and star ratings were
also superior in the former (4.5% low performing and 23.2% high performing, versus 13.8% low performing and 7.6% high performing, respectively).
STS public reporting sites had higher mean annualized CABG volumes than
non-reporting sites (169 versus 145, p < 0.0001), and high performing programs had higher mean CABG volumes (n = 241) than average (n = 139) or
low performing (n = 153) sites.

CONCLUSIONS: Participation in the STS voluntary public reporting
program has nearly doubled over 4 years. Reporting programs have signicantly higher volumes and performance.

OBJECTIVE: Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) awaiting
liver transplantation (LT) have variable risks of tumor progression, waitlist
dropout, and post-transplant recurrence. Pretransplant locoregional therapies
(LRT; percutaneous ablations, transarterial embolizations) mitigate these
risks by inducing tumor necrosis. We evaluated the rate of complete pathological response (cPR) in patients undergoing LRT, the effect of LRT on
post-LT HCC recurrence and survival, and factors associated with cPR.
METHODS: Comparisons were made among HCC recipients with
and without cPR who received pre-LT LRT from 1994 to 2013. Multivariate
logistic regression identied predictors of achieving cPR.
RESULTS: Of 501 patients, 272, 148, and 81 received 1, 2, and 3 or
more LRT. Post-LT HCC recurrence developed in 57 of 375 patients (15.2%)
without cPR compared to 3 of 126 patients (2.4%) with cPR (P < 0.001).
Recipients with cPR had signicantly superior 1-, 3-, and 5-year disease-specic and recurrence-free survival, and only 1 disease-specic death (Figure).
Multivariate predictors accurately identied recipients with cPR (c-statistic
0.75, Table).
CONCLUSIONS: Achieving cPR in HCC patients receiving LRT
strongly predicts tumor free survival with a negligible risk of HCC recurrence. We identify important factors predicting cPR, allowing for differential prioritization of HCC recipients based on their variable risks of post-LT
recurrence.

Use of a Bundle Checklist Combined with Provider
Conrmation Reduced Risk of Nosocomial Complications
and Death in Trauma Patients

Benjamin Taylor*, Loring W. Rue, III
University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL
OBJECTIVES: Bundle checklists are increasingly utilized in patient
care, but data is inconsistent regarding their efcacy in reducing nosocomial
complication rates. We examined whether checklist usage was associated
with nosocomial complications when documented elements were veried by
provider bedside rounds.
METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study of trauma
patients admitted to our hospital during a three-phase implementation of a
quality improvement project. For this analysis, patients were categorized as
pre-documentation (PD), documentation only (DO), or documentation with
provider review (PR) cohort based on temporal designations. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% condence intervals
(CIs) for the association between documentation cohorts and nosocomial
complications.
RESULTS: No difference in mean hospital stay, ICU days, or ventilator days was observed. The DO cohort showed no signicant differences in
the risk of complications. Among ICU patients, when compared to the PD
cohort, the PR cohort demonstrated a decreased risk of all complications
OR 0.72 (95% CI 0.55–0.93), pulmonary embolus OR 0.29 (95% CI 0.11–
0.73), pneumonia OR 0.66 (95% CI 0.50-0.88), and death OR 0.50 (95% CI
0.31–0.79).
CONCLUSION: Bedside conrmation of bundle checklists during
physician extender rounds reduces the risk of pulmonary embolus, pneumonia, and death when compared to chart documentation alone. This study
underscores the importance of the team approach to the bundle checklist and
it’s ability to reduce morbidity and mortality.

of patients in this high-risk cohort for open repair at latest follow-up was

CONCLUSIONS: This global experience is the largest series in the
literature of ch-EVAR and demonstrates comparable outcomes to published
branched/fenestrated devices and is independent of the type of abdominal
device or selected chimney graft, suggesting it’s broad applicability to most
surgeons. These results support ch-EVAR as a valid off-the-shelf alternative
in the treatment of complex EVAR and give impetus for the standardization
of the technique in the future.

OBJECTIVE(S): Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has largely
replaced open surgery worldwide for anatomically suitable aortic aneurysms.
Lack of availability of fenestrated devices and off the shelf solutions have
encouraged an alternative strategy utilizing parallel, or snokel/chimney
grafts (ch-EVAR). We sought to examine the collected worldwide experience with use of ch-EVAR for complex aneurysm treatment.
METHODS: Clinical and radiographic information was retrospectively reviewed and analyzed on 517 patients treated by ch-EVAR from
2008–2014 by pre-arranged dened and documented protocols.
RESULTS: 119 patients in US centers and 398 in European centers
were treated during the study period. US centers preferentially used Zenith
stent-grafts (54.2%) and European centers Endurant stent-grafts (62.2%).
Overall 898 chimney grafts (49% vs 51% balloon-expandable vs selfexpandable covered stents) were placed into 692 renal arteries, 156 SMAs,
and 50 celiacs. At a mean follow up of 17.1 months (1–70 months), primary

How Well Does Renal Transplantation Cure
Hyperparathyroidism?
Irene Lou*, Scott Odorico*, David Foley*, David Schneider*,
Rebecca Sippel*, Herbert Chen
University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI
BACKGROUND: Most patients with end-stage kidney disease will
develop renal hyperparathyroidism. Transplantation reportedly resolves secondary hyperparathyroidism in 95% of cases. Therefore, current practice
guidelines recommend a watchful waiting approach to hyperparathyroidism
the rst 12 months after transplantation to allow maximal allograft function.
The purpose of our study is to examine the incidence of hyperparathyroidism, dened as an elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) level, after renal
transplantation in a contemporary cohort.
METHOD: A total of 2,039 patients underwent kidney transplantation
from 1/1/2004–6/30/2012 with a minimum of 24 months of follow-up. Oneway analysis of variance was used to compare group means. A multivariate
logistic regression model was constructed, with signicance at p < 0.05.
RESULTS: 603 (30%) of patients achieved normal PTH within the
rst year. 659 (32%) attained normal PTH after one year, with the remaining 777 (38%) having recurrent or persistent hyperparathyroidism (RPH).
Patients normalizing PTH within 12 months had a longer mean graft-survival
(6.9 ± 0.1 years) compared to those with delayed PTH normalization (5.35
± 0.08 years) and those with RPH (5.08 ± 0.07 years), p < 0.001. There
was no statistically signicant difference in graft-survival between those
with delayed normalization of PTH and those with RPH (p = 0.054). Factors
predictive of RPH include age at transplant (p = 0.025), obesity (p < 0.001),
time on dialysis pre-transplant (p < 0.001) and delayed graft failure (p = 0.02)
dened as requiring dialysis within 7 days of transplantation.
CONCLUSION: Renal transplant resolves hyperparathyroidism in
only 62% of patients. Resolution within the rst year portends longer graftsurvival, therefore consideration of earlier intervention for hyperparathyroidism is warranted.

OBJECTIVE(S): Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA)
remains a challenging problem. We describe our experience with open TAAA
and descending thoracic (DTAA) aortic aneurysm repair.
METHODS: Between 1991 and 2014, we repaired 1904 DTAA or
TAAA in 1815 patients. Mean age was 64.5±13.6 with 680/1815 (37.5%)
women. Of 1904 operations, 664 (35%) were DTAA, 312 (16%) TAAA1,
308 (16%) TAAA2, 186 (9%) TAAA3, 341 (18%) TAAA4, and 111 (6%)
TAAA5. 229 (12%) were redo procedures. Adjunct (cerebrospinal uid
drainage + distal aortic perfusion) was used in 75%.
RESULTS: 653/1904 (34%) had aortic dissection and 141 (7.4%) had
rupture. Preoperative glomerular ltration rate (GFR) was 67 ml/min/1.73m2
(interquartile range (IQR) 48–95). Renal failure requiring dialysis occurred
in 316 (16.6%). Immediate neurological-decit (ND) occurred in 89 (4.7%)
and delayed in 105 (5.5%). Of these, 47/194 (24.2%) recovered by the time
of discharge. Postoperative stroke was 90/1904 (4.7%). 30-day mortality was 261/1904 (13.7%). Mortality with GFR > 95 was 25/459 (5.45%),
and 112/427 (26.2%) with GFR < 48 (p < 0.0001). In multivariable analysis, immediate ND was greater in females (p < 0.02) and TAAA2 or 3 (p <
0.0001); it was signicantly reduced by higher GFR (p < 0.0001) and use
of adjunct (p < 0.02), particularly in TAAA2 or 3 (interaction p < 0.0016).
Adjunct is the only signicant predictor of recovery after ND (p < 0.035).
Predictors of 30-day mortality were age (p < 0.02), GFR (p < 0.0001),
TAAA2 (p < 0.03), TAAA3 (p < 0.002), and emergency (p < 0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS: Open thoracoabdominal repair demonstrates
acceptable mortality and morbidity and provides a benchmark for endovascular repair. Adjunct is protective against ND in TAAA2 and 3, and improves
recovery.

OBJECTIVE: African Americans (AA) renal transplant recipients
experience inferior outcomes compared to Caucasians (CA). Numerous
unsuccessful attempts have been made to identify specic immunologic
and socioeconomic factors contributing to this discrepancy. Our objective
was to examine the effect of induction therapy on racial outcomes for renal
transplantation.
METHODS: Retrospective analysis of outcomes in consecutive adult
renal transplant recipients from 2006–2014 was performed. Patients were
separated by race and further stratied by induction therapy, alemtuzumab
(AL) vs. no alemtuzumab (nAL). Kaplan Meier curves, log rank tests, and
hazard ratios (HR) were generated for mortality and allograft survival. Multiple linear regression modeling measured the effect of independent variables
(nAL, rejection, delayed graft function, CMV infection) on AA allograft
survival.
RESULTS: 433 patients (172 CA and 261 AA) were identied. Mortality was equivalent between CA and AA (23.2% vs. 17.2%, p = 0.1068, HR
= 0.6970) while the incidence of allograft failure was lower for CA vs. AA
(9.3% vs. 21.8%, p = 0.0037*, HR = 2.079). Stratication by induction agent
(267 AL vs. 166 nAL induction) found no difference in allograft survival
between CA vs. AA with AL induction (5.9% vs. 9.7%, p = 0.2364, HR =
1.728) compared to nAL induction (14.2% vs. 42.7%, p = 0.0058*, HR =
2.296). Multiple linear regression conrmed the strongest predictor for AA
allograft failure was nAL induction (p < 0.05*).
CONCLUSIONS: This is the rst study to suggest that a modern
induction agent can eliminate the historic racial disparity previously ascribed
to AA renal transplant recipients. The results of this study should stimulate
further investigations on optimizing healthcare outcomes for AA.

OBJECTIVE(S): Reported ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) failure rate ranged from 3 to 15%, mainly due technical or inammatory conditions. Surgical revision is the only option for patients with a failed IPAA to
avoid permanent stoma. Data regarding surgical, functional and quality of
life (QOL) outcomes of redo surgery for failed IPAA are limited. We aimed
to evaluate single center experience on trans-abdominal redo surgery for
failed IPAA.
METHODS: Patients undergoing trans-abdominal redo surgery for
failed IPAA between 1983 and 2014 were evaluated based on prospectively
maintained institutional registry.
RESULTS: There were 502 (43% male) patients with a mean age of 38
and body mass index 30 kg/m2 at the time of revision surgery. 407 patients
(81%) were referred from outside institutions. Operative indications are
listed in the table. Prior pouch types were J (81%), S (18%) and W (0.3%).
The new pouch was created in 40% of patients. Of these patients with neoIPAA, there were J (87%) and S (13%) pouches. Short-term anastomotic leak
was 8%. The mean postoperative length of stay was 10 days. Failure rate
after redo ileal pouch surgery was 19% within a mean of 9 years follow-up.
Overall functional outcomes and QOL scores were similar to that in patients
who had had the rst time IPAA. Patients with nal diagnosis of Crohn’s
disease,pouch vaginal stula had high failure rates where septic complication
as primary indication had higher success rates.

OBJECTIVE(S): The “weekend effect” (WE) is the observation that
surgeon-independent patient outcomes are worse on the weekend compared
to weekdays. We hypothesized that perioperative hospital resources could
overcome the WE in patients undergoing emergent/urgent surgeries.
METHODS: Emergent/urgent surgeries were identied using the
Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project State Inpatient Database (Florida)
from 2007–2011 and were linked to the American Hospital Association
Annual Survey database to determine hospital level characteristics. Extended
median length of stay on the weekend compared to the weekday (after controlling for hospital, year, and procedure type) was selected as a surrogate
for WE.
RESULTS: Included were 127,221 patients at 166 hospitals. A total of
17 hospitals overcame the WE during the study period. Logistic regression,
controlling for patient characteristics, identied high resolution CT scanner
(OR 1.33)*, home health program (OR 1.88)*, social work program (OR
1.37)*, full adoption of electronic medical records (OR 1.62)*, and increased
nurse-to-bed ratio (OR 2.55)* as hospital resources that overcame the WE
following implementation. The prevalence of these factors in hospitals
exhibiting the WE for all 5 years of the study period were compared to those
hospitals which overcame the WE. (*p < 0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS: Specic hospital resources can overcome the WE
seen in urgent general surgery procedures. Improved hospital perioperative
infrastructure represents an important target for overcoming disparities in
surgical care.

A Longitudinal Assessment of Outcomes, Cost, and
Healthcare Resource Utilization Following Immediate Breast
Reconstruction – Comparing Implant and Autologous
Reconstruction

OBJECTIVES: Immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) has increased
in recent years, yet long-term comparative data on complication and cost
proles are lacking. We perform a comparison of cumulative healthcare
resource utilization and outcomes following implant- and autologous-based
breast reconstruction.
METHODS: 2007–2011 CA, FL, NE, and NY inpatient and ambulatory surgery databases were used (AHRQ HCUP) encompassing 25% of
all-payer 2010 population. Discharges for women 18 years who underwent
mastectomy with breast reconstruction (10/1/2008–10/31/2009), excluding
those with metastatic disease. Outcomes included: 90-day surgical complications, 3-year breast surgery procedures, and cumulative healthcare costs.
RESULTS: 11,493 patients underwent IBR generating costs of $273
million, of which $101 million was for secondary procedures. Adjusted
90-day complication proles favored expander reconstruction (6.5%) relative to direct implant (6.6%) and autologous (13.2%). However, \ adjusted
rate of breast procedures within 3 years was highest in expander reconstruction (2,018 per 1,000 discharges) compared to direct implant (1,427 per
1,000 discharges) and autologous (944 per 1,000) (P < 0.001). Cumulative
adjusted healthcare costs across procedures differed between autologous
($51,948), expander ($57,366), and direct implant ($56,784) modalities
(P < .001) (Figure 1).

IN MEMORIAM
CONCLUSION: This analysis provides 3-year data on healthcare
resource utilization across common reconstructive modalities from a cohort
comprising 25% of the all-payer US population and demonstrates the signicant and differing costs of breast reconstruction surgery including revision surgery and the long-term performance of autologous tissue relative to
implants.
