Summary
Porcine derived products are being used as biological grafts in mainly in orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, cardiovascular surgery and general surgery. It is well known that consuming pork or porcine products are prohibited in some religions or divisions of religions. It may be a tender point for patients undergoing surgery in which porcine derived products are utilized.In this survey study we aimed to determine the level of awareness and perception of surgeons with an international anquette. The study will also reveal the choices of surgeons about this issue both in elective and emergency procedures
Detailed description
In the survey study an online anquette form will be sent through online surgery networks both professional and social media. The questionnaire will not include questions defining the responders individually. The questions are related to frequency of utilization of porcine derived products in surgery, surgeons' level of awareness about utilization of porcine products, surgeons' level of religiousity and surgeons' choices about porcine derived product utilization and consent of patients. After collection of responses the data will be analyzed to discover current status of porcine derived surgical product utilization and surgeons' perception about the issue. The anquette will be distributed worldwide to surgeons in different branches of surgery. Literature seems to be lacking of that kind of study
