Status Quo Bias: An Overlooked Barrier to Sustainable Surgical Care
1 Introduction Healthcare is a paradoxical industry: A sector devoted to protecting life that is also a major contributor to the climate crisis and thus contributes to adverse health outcomes. Operating theatres are at the heart of this paradox. They consume three to six times more resources than other hospital departments and they generate a significant volume of waste in proportion to the wider hospital system—predominantly from energy, consumables and single-use devices (SUDs) [1].
Outcomes of Patients With Severe Acute Pancreatitis Requiring Prolonged Intensive Care Admission at a Tertiary Centre: A Retrospective Cohort Study
1 Introduction Acute pancreatitis is a common and increasingly frequent cause of hospitalisation in Australia, with incidence rising by nearly 40% over the past two decades [1].

A 20‐year case‐series of distal intestinal obstruction syndrome at a state‐wide cystic fibrosis service
Introduction Distal Intestinal Obstruction Syndrome (DIOS) is a serious complication of cystic fibrosis (CF), affecting up to 15% of adult CF patients.1 It is caused by the accumulation of viscous mucous in the small intestine, considered to be the result of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) dysfunction leading to dehydration of the mucosal surface liquid of and the progressive accumulation of inspissated mucus combined with desiccated faecal material, commonly in the...

Incidence and risk factors for secondary failure after acute obstetric sphincter injury repair - an audit of 239 women
The rate of secondary failure after obstetric sphincter injury repair is unknown, with the literature reporting rates ranging from 0.1% to 53%. We aimed to perform an audit to identify the rate and risk factors for failure of sphincter repair in a cohort of postpartum women using endoanal ultrasound (EAUS) and manometry, assessing the risk factors and impact of these events. Prospective data were collected within a 2 year period from patients who attended the perineal clinic at Eastern Health.
