Samer G. Mattar,Adnan Alseidi,Daniel B. Jones,D. Rohan Jeyarajah,Lee L. Swanstrom,Ralph W. Aye,Stephen D. Wexner,Jose M. Martinez,Sharona Ross,Michael M. Awad,Morris E. Franklin,Maurice E. Arregui,Bruce D. Schirmer,Rebecca M. Minter +13 more
TL;DR: Assessment of general surgery graduate trainees entering accredited surgical subspecialty fellowships in North America revealed deficits in domains of operative autonomy, progressive responsibility, longitudinal follow-up, and scholarly focus after general surgery education.

Development and validation of a comprehensive program of education and assessment of the basic fundamentals of laparoscopic surgery.
Jeffrey H. Peters,Gerald M. Fried,Lee L. Swanstrom,Nathaniel J. Soper,Lelan F. Sillin,Bruce D. Schirmer,Kaaren I. Hoffman +6 more
TL;DR: The overall goal of the FLS program was to ‘‘teach a standard set of cognitive and psychomotor skills to practitioners of laparoscopic surgery’’ in the belief that knowledge and application of these fundamentals would help ensure a minimal standard of care for all patients undergoing laparoscopy.

Biologic prosthesis reduces recurrence after laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair: a multicenter, prospective, randomized trial.
Brant K. Oelschlager,Carlos A. Pellegrini,John G. Hunter,Nathaniel J. Soper,Michael Brunt,Brett C. Sheppard,Blair A. Jobe,Nayak L. Polissar,Lee M. Mitsumori,James A. Nelson,Lee L. Swanstrom +10 more
TL;DR: Adding a biologic prosthesis during LPEHR reduces the likelihood of recurrence at 6 months, without mesh-related complications or side effects.

Biologic prosthesis to prevent recurrence after laparoscopic paraesophageal hernia repair: long-term follow-up from a multicenter, prospective, randomized trial.
Brant K. Oelschlager,Carlos A. Pellegrini,John G. Hunter,Michael Brunt,Nathaniel J. Soper,Brett C. Sheppard,Nayak L. Polissar,Moni B. Neradilek,Lee M. Mitsumori,Charles A. Rohrmann,Lee L. Swanstrom +10 more
TL;DR: There does not appear to be a higher rate of complications or side effects with biologic mesh, but its benefit in reducing HH recurrence diminishes at long-term follow-up (more than 5 years postoperatively) or earlier.

Mesh complications after prosthetic reinforcement of hiatal closure: A 28-case series
Rudolf J. Stadlhuber,Amr El Sherif,Sumeet K. Mittal,Robert J. Fitzgibbons,L. Michael Brunt,John G. Hunter,Tom R. DeMeester,Lee L. Swanstrom,C. Daniel Smith,Charles J. Filipi +9 more
TL;DR: Complications related to synthetic mesh placement at the esophageal hiatus are more common than previously reported and Multicenter prospective studies are needed to determine the best method and type of mesh for implantation.
