This study demonstrates that the 5-variable Modified Frailty Index effectively predicts short- and long-term morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation, supporting its use in pretransplant assessment and perioperative planning.
This 10-year randomized clinical trial reveals that sacrospinous hysteropexy with mesh offers lower failure rates and comparable safety to vaginal hysterectomy in treating uterovaginal prolapse, supporting its use as an effective uterine-pr
This nationwide US study analyzes 10,687 simultaneous liver-kidney transplants, highlighting increased use of DCD donors with machine perfusion and comparable outcomes to DBD transplants, supporting broader DCD adoption in selected patients
Higher Modified Frailty Index scores correlate with increased postoperative complications and emergency visits following total thyroidectomy, underscoring the value of frailty assessment in surgical risk stratification.
This study demonstrates that fistulotomy combined with primary sphincteroplasty offers a high success rate and minimal incontinence risk for complex anal fistulas, supporting its use as an effective single-stage treatment.
This study evaluates the impact of lumpectomy margin widths on local recurrence in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive DCIS undergoing lumpectomy, radiation, and endocrine therapy, suggesting minimal recurrence differences b
The PRIMO study demonstrates that the Symani Surgical System® offers high safety, reliability, and effectiveness for robotic-assisted microsurgical anastomoses in reconstructive procedures across multiple centers and adult patient populatio
Near-infrared autofluorescence heterogeneity measurement provides a real-time, quantitative tool during parathyroidectomy to distinguish hyperfunctional parathyroid glands from normal tissue, aiding surgical precision and potentially improv
The DREAM method enables complete enteral nutrition in short bowel syndrome, enhancing intestinal adaptation and protecting liver function by restoring gut-liver signaling pathways, as demonstrated in a neonatal pig model.
A nationwide Swedish cohort study shows same-admission cholecystectomy significantly reduces recurrence and complications after gallstone-related acute pancreatitis compared to ERCP alone or no intervention.
This study identifies dual cutoff values of 0 and 1 mm for radial margin distance in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, providing a simple and effective stratification tool for postoperative recurrence risk and survival prediction.
This review synthesizes current evidence on lung cancer surgical quality improvement, highlighting the impactful American College of Surgeons Lung NODES Collaborative’s success in improving lymph node sampling compliance and broader a
A comprehensive national study shows both normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) and normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) significantly improve graft survival in DCD liver transplantation, supporting their adoption as complementary standards
This review synthesizes evidence on the long-term survival, excess mortality, and health-related quality of life in patients after chronic subdural hematoma surgery, emphasizing sustained mortality risks and cognitive-physical deficits up t
A multicenter trauma study found that 20.1% of surgically treated Morel-Lavallée lesions developed wound complications. Pedestrian-versus-vehicle injury was the only independent predictor of postoperative problems.
This review synthesizes evidence comparing rotational chair therapy and manual maneuvers in uncomplicated BPPV, highlighting comparable efficacy, quality-of-life improvements, and patient-specific considerations for recurrence and treatment
Lateral diaphragmatic relaxing incisions may help reduce tension during difficult hiatal hernia repair. In this retrospective series, most patients had improved reflux symptoms, but long-term recurrence data are still needed.
Lateral relaxing diaphragmatic incisions may help reduce tension during difficult hiatal hernia repairs, improving symptom control in redo and giant hernia cases, though long-term recurrence data are still needed.
In a 14-institution cohort of more than 508,000 operations, MySurgeryRisk maintained high discrimination for ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, acute kidney injury, and in-hospital mortality using routine electronic health record data.
A multicenter prospective cohort study suggests that substantial surgeon social jet lag, but not midsleep variability alone, is associated with higher 30-day major adverse event risk after surgery and correlates with surgeon burnout.
