Dr. Ribble: In this study was the umbilicus included in bathing of the "diaper area"? Dr. Klein: Yes. Dr. Ribble: Have epidemics of streptococcal disease occured in nurseries in which hexachlorophene bathing was being carried out? Dr. Klein: Group B beta hemolytic streptococcal infections have been reported in nurseries where hexachlorophene bathing was being used. Dr. Schaberg: We have had cultural evidence of the presence of Group A streptococcal infection in infants on hexachlorophene bathing, and another Boston hospital had a nursery epidemic of Group A streptococcal infection in 1967 while using hexachlorophene bathing. Dr. Gezon: Mortimer also reported an epidemic occurring in a nursery where only the babies' faces were washed with hexachlorophene. Leadbetter's data from Lackland Air Force Base showed that he was unable to stop an epidemic of staphylococcal infection with intensive hexachlorophene bathing, including washing the umbilicus three times a day with hexachlorophene. He was also unable to get a significant difference in colonization rates when half the infants were washed with hexachlorophene and half were not. Dr. Gezon: Attention to the umbilicus is very important in controlling staphylococcal infection in the newborn. Jellard has shown this with triple dye, Gillespie with hexachlorophene powder, and Mortimer with antibiotic ointment applied to the umbilicus.

Abstract Aim Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is most commonly performed using open surgical techniques. Minimal access approaches have reduced the morbidity of many types of surgery, however technical limitations have hindered the widespread adoption of laparoscopic methods for PD. There has been increasing use of surgical robots to facilitate a minimal access approach, motivated by improved visualisation, ergonomics and dexterity compared to standard laparoscopic methods. Methods for the safe introduction of novel techniques are lacking, and the way in which surgical innovations are reported may affect adoption into clinical practice. The aim of this study is to understand how robotic PD has been reported as a surgical innovation. Method A systematic review is being conducted by the trainee led RoboSurg Collaborative. A literature search was performed to identify primary research reporting outcomes of robotic PD. Articles are being screened in duplicate by title and abstract, then by full text review. The following data will be extracted: study methodology and rationale; centre, surgeons and patient details; governance and ethical considerations; learning curves; details of the intervention, including modifications; and how outcomes were reported, including use of core outcome sets. The data will be analysed using a narrative synthesis method. Results The search identified 1305 articles reporting on robotic pancreas surgery. An interim report of progress will be presented. Conclusions A rich narrative synthesis will enable innovators to understand how robotic PD has been reported. This will encourage transparent, methodical, and meaningful reporting of robotic PD, increasing the quality of clinical evidence.
