Full summary

946 CHARS

The study developed the SUPER reporting guideline following the EQUATOR Network approach. A working group of 16 members drafted initial items from a review of existing guidelines and journal papers. These items were refined through a three-round Delphi survey involving 21 experts from 13 countries, followed by a consensus meeting and wording refinement. The final guideline comprises 22 items across six sections: background, preoperative preparations, surgical technique details, postoperative considerations, summary, and other information. The guideline is intended to guide detailed, comprehensive, and transparent reporting of surgical technique across any discipline or study design. The authors note strengths including the detailed breakdown of surgical technique and a representative development group, but limitations include modest Delphi panel size with specialty and gender imbalances and a declining response rate in later rounds.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background Existing reporting guidelines pay insufficient attention to the detail and comprehensiveness reporting of surgical technique. The Surgical techniqUe rePorting chEcklist and standaRds (SUPER) aims to address this gap by defining reporting standards for surgical technique. The SUPER guideline intends to apply to articles that encompass surgical technique in any study design, surgical discipline, and stage of surgical innovation. Methods Following the EQUATOR (Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research) Network approach, 16 surgeons, journal editors, and methodologists reviewed existing reporting guidelines relating to surgical technique, reviewed papers from 15 top journals, and brainstormed to draft initial items for the SUPER. The initial items were revised through a three-round Delphi survey from 21 multidisciplinary Delphi panel experts from 13 countries and regions. The final SUPER items were formed after an online consensus meeting to resolve disagreements and a three-round wording refinement by all 16 SUPER working group members and five SUPER consultants. Results The SUPER reporting guideline includes 22 items that are considered essential for good and informative surgical technique reporting. The items are divided into six sections: background, rationale, and objectives (items 1 to 5); preoperative preparations and requirements (items 6 to 9); surgical technique details (items 10 to 15); postoperative considerations and tasks (items 16 to 19); summary and prospect (items 20 and 21); and other information (item 22). Conclusions The SUPER reporting guideline has the potential to guide detailed, comprehensive, and transparent surgical technique reporting for surgeons. It may also assist journal editors, peer reviewers, systematic reviewers, and guideline developers in the evaluation of surgical technique papers and help practitioners to better understand and reproduce surgical technique.
