Treatment recommendations to parents during pediatric tonsillectomy consultations: a mixed methods analysis of surgeon language.
A deeper understanding of the dialogue clinicians use to relay treatment recommendations is needed to fully understand their influence on patient decisions about surgery. In this study, the authors characterize how otolaryngologists provide treatment recommendations and suggest a classification framework. The investigators concluded that clinicians provide treatment recommendations in a variety of ways that may introduce more or less certainty and choice to parental treatment decisions.

Work-system interventions in robotic-assisted surgery: a systematic review exploring the gap between challenges and solutions.
The purpose of this review was to identify the gap between identified Robotic Assisted Surgery (RAS) work-system barriers and interventions developed to address those barriers. This review identified a significant gap between issues and solutions in RAS. Improving RAS-associated non-technical skills, task management, and technology management may lead to improved operating room dynamics associated with greater efficiency, reduced costs, and better systems-level outcomes.
