The value of pre-operative split renal function radionuclide imaging in multi-visceral resection for retroperitoneal sarcoma: A retrospective cohort study from a high-volume tertiary sarcoma referral centre Open
Pre-operative DMSA had minimal impact on MVR decision-making for RPS. Reflective guideline adaptations streamlined the patient assessment pathway for consideration of MVR for RPS surgery.

COVID-19-related absence among surgeons: development of an international surgical workforce prediction model Open
Background During the initial COVID-19 outbreak up to 28.4 million elective operations were cancelled worldwide, in part owing to concerns that it would be unsustainable to maintain elective surgery capacity because of COVID-19-related sur…

Primary mesenteric sarcomas: Collaborative experience from the Trans‐Atlantic Australasian Retroperitoneal Sarcoma Working Group (TARPSWG) Open
Background Primary mesenteric soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are rare and limited evidence is available to inform management. Surgical resection is challenging due to the proximity of vital structures and a need to preserve enteric function. O…
