Spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion stimulation are minimally invasive surgical techniques used to treat an array of chronic pain disorders. There is a paucity of data related to defining best practices in these specific patient populations, and historically, providers have relied on consensus committees to opine on the best techniques for patient safety and experience. The most efficacious mechanism of surgical closure—specifically a running suture closure compared to a surgical staple closure—is debated. A retrospective review of 155 patients implanted with either a spinal cord or dorsal root ganglion stimulator between 2017 and 2019 was undertaken to determine if the type of surgical closure was related to degree of postoperative surgical site discomfort. The primary outcome showed no statistically significant difference on postoperative pain scores between the suture (6.0 (IQR 5.0–8.0)) and staple (7.0 (IQR 5.0–8.0)) cohorts at postoperative day (POD) #1 (adjusted β 0.17 (95% CI −0.61 to 0.95), P=0.670). This finding held for postoperative pain scores at POD #10 as well (staples (1.0 (IQR 0.0–4.0)) and suture (2.0 (IQR 0.0–5.0), adjusted β −0.39 (95% CI −1.35 to 0.58), P=0.432)). A regression analysis was performed to identify secondary factors impacting postoperative pain scores. Higher preoperative pain score (β 0.50 (95% CI 0.09 to 0.92), P=0.019) and female gender (β 1.09 (95% CI 0.15 to 2.02), P=0.023) were predictive of higher incisional pain scores at POD#10. Increasing age was associated with decreased incisional pain scores at POD#10 (β −0.06 (95% CI −0.09 to −0.03), P<0.001). These findings are of interest to the pain practitioner and may be valuable in preoperative discussions with prospective patients.

This article presents information related to several rugby football players who left this sport due to some reasons. Players have left clubs in strange circumstances since former Test half Duncan Thompson quit North Sydney in 1923 after being suspended for kicking; some for reasons close to heresy, others closer to heroism. When Travis Norton talks of the bombshell that hit the rugby football team Canterbury Bulldogs in 1998, he refers to the dramatic departure of Solomon Haumono.
