These environments have forced the academic surgeon's primary focus to shift toward the quality of patient care from the training of young surgeons. It is rather paradoxical that the conditions for quality training of young surgeons have become more unfavorable, whereas the level of proficiency and...

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years ...
This can be beneficial for both patient and surgeon in the context of not requiring emergent re-opening within the intensive care unit and allow more time for a controlled re-opening and exploration in the operating theatre providing an optimal technical and sterile setting. The sequelae of re-...

Off-pump coronary revascularisation is demanding technically as the surgeon is faced with a beating heart and not a bloodless field. The potential clinical advantages of off-pump coronary revascularisation have made this procedure an essential part of a cardiothoracic training program. The aim of...

The choice for either strategy should take into account the individual patient profile (comorbidities, life expectancy, etc.) and importantly, the surgeon’s experience in...
