Technical skills and clinical acumen are necessary for success in a surgical career. However, these skills alone are not sufficient. A surgeon’s emotional intelligence and ability to communicate, ...manage conflict, and cultivate relationships may be even more critical to success. Health care environments are increasingly complex. An individual surgeon’s or surgical department’s success depends highly on the teams around them, including anesthesia, nursing, hospital administration, clinic teams, and many more. The surgeon’s ability to communicate across the organization and lead by influence is critical.
Esophageal perforation is a rare but fatal disease process that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. Surgery has historically been required for treatment; however, there is currently a shift ...toward endoscopic management. Although no randomized controlled trials exist to compare patient outcomes, many case series and systematic analyses describe their indications, efficacy, and safety profile. Endoscopic stenting and endoscopic vacuum therapy are the 2 therapies most widely described across a diverse patient population and appear to be safe and effective when treating esophageal perforation, in the proper clinical setting. Guidelines and scoring systems exist to help direct management and stratify patient risk.
