Frailty negatively impacts swallowing improvement after UES surgery for cricopharyngeus muscle dysfunction, with nonfrail patients experiencing greater benefits. Frailty assessment aids preoperative planning without excluding patients from
This study links environmental burdens, notably air pollution and proximity to transportation, to increased postoperative complications, revealing a critical pathway for health disparities in surgery.
This study validates the Critical View of Quality (CVQ) as an intraoperative metric of lymphadenectomy quality in distal gastrectomy and presents a novel computer vision model for its automated video-based assessment, enhancing objective su
The Laennec technique offers a structured, anatomy-based robotic approach for right donor hepatectomies, demonstrating safety, feasibility, and zero biliary complications, potentially standardizing this complex procedure across centers.
This multicenter study evaluates how the surgical learning phase impacts major complications and oncological quality in robotic left-sided pancreatectomy, demonstrating safe adoption with consistent morbidity and highlighting the need for o
This article reviews a large institutional study highlighting a low incidence of coronary malperfusion following stentless bioprosthetic aortic root replacement using the Freestyle valve and techniques to reduce this complication.
This study evaluates the delivery of trauma-informed care in initial trauma bay assessments, revealing inconsistencies in communication and care quality, especially among Spanish-speaking patients, underscoring the need for equity-focused t
This study compares robotic and laparoscopic cholecystectomy, highlighting robotic surgery’s advantages in safety for high-risk and obese patients despite higher costs, and introduces a predictive risk calculator to aid surgical decis
A randomized clinical trial demonstrated that the 5x-multiplier algorithm significantly reduces opioid prescriptions at discharge without increasing consumption, refill rates, or patient dissatisfaction after major abdominal cancer surgery
This study compares radiographic versus pathology-integrated response metrics to identify optimal surgical timing after neoadjuvant imatinib treatment in KIT exon 11-mutant gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Pathology measures indicate
This article reviews advances in liver xenotransplantation using genetically modified porcine organs as a bridging strategy for acute liver failure, highlighting recent clinical progress, challenges, and future directions.
Quantitative measurement of beta-trace protein in nasal sponge extracts accurately identifies postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leaks after endoscopic endonasal surgery for sellar tumors, enabling early diagnosis and targeted intervention.
This pooled analysis evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the Colovac Anastomosis Protection Device compared to standard diverting loop ileostomy following low anterior resection for rectal cancer, showing comparable major complication
A Swedish national retrospective study reveals that liver transplantations initiated between 17:00 and 05:59 are linked to significantly increased postoperative complications and healthcare costs, highlighting the need for optimized schedul
This meta-analysis of four RCTs compares cold and hot snare polypectomy for large colorectal polyps, demonstrating lower major adverse events but higher recurrence with cold resection, especially in adenomas with high-grade dysplasia.
The Integrative Muscle-Adipose Score (IMAS) combines muscle and fat measures into a sex-specific tool that accurately predicts long-term survival and postoperative complications in liver transplant recipients, outperforming existing models.
This study highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic value of angiography in intraluminal postpancreatoduodenectomy hemorrhage, revealing its superiority in bleeding source localization and effective hemostasis compared to other modalities.
RESTORE II RCT demonstrates that a 12-week multidisciplinary rehabilitation program significantly improves cardiorespiratory fitness in survivors of upper gastrointestinal cancer surgery, supporting its integration in post-oncologic care.
This study compares long-term outcomes of endovascular versus open bypass interventions for femoropopliteal disease in patients with claudication, finding similar rates of major adverse limb events and progression to critical limb ischemia
This study suggests intraoperative botulinum toxin may reduce sialocele formation after parotidectomy, though larger prospective trials are needed to confirm efficacy and guide clinical use.
