Background: Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (IPAA) is the preferred intervention for ulcerative colitis (UC) patients whose medical treatment fails. Acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) can precipitate the need for urgent surgery, potentially influencing post-IPAA outcomes.
Objective: This study details the incidence, disease course, and treatment of pouchitis and pouch failure in a population-based cohort of UC patients following IPAA construction.

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, non-urgent surgeries were delayed in order to increase the capacity to care for patients with COVID-19. To shed light on the effect of pandemic-related surgical ramp down on the quality of surgical care, this study compared Ontario with Alberta on (1) changes in the proportion of completion and wait time of surgeries with decision-to-treat in a pre-pandemic period compared to those with decision-to-treat in each of the four COVID-19 waves and (2) shifts in healthcare utilization and safety of surgical patients for the same time periods.
Methods: A retrospective population-based cohort study was conducted in Ontario on scheduled non-urgent surgeries among adults with decision-to-treat (index dates) between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2021.

Background: Portable ex vivo lung perfusion and ventilation with the Organ Care System (OCS) Lung system is a safe, effective method for preserving extended criteria donor (ECD) organs before transplant. Although this technology is increasingly used in the United States, no published data describe its effects on long-term graft function and patient outcomes. This study assessed long-term clinical outcomes after transplantation of ECD lungs that were preserved, recruited, and assessed with the OCS Lung.

Infective endocarditis (IE) remains a challenging condition with high morbidity and mortality despite advances in diagnosis and management. The 2023 European Society of Cardiology guidelines, endorsed by the European Association of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, introduce significant updates, including several new recommendations with regard to surgical intervention. This review synthesizes current evidence on the surgical management of IE, emphasizing indications, timing, and outcomes.
