The CLIP-II trial evaluated dimethyl sulfoxide-cryopreserved platelets with extended shelf-life against conventional liquid-stored platelets in cardiac surgery bleeding, finding noninferiority was not established and cryopreserved platelets
A pragmatic multicenter randomized trial found that coach-supported, home-based multimodal prehabilitation before elective noncardiac surgery did not reduce 30-day postoperative disability or in-hospital complications in older adults with f
An international randomized trial found minimally invasive pancreatoduodenectomy (mostly robotic) noninferior to open surgery for 90‑day overall complications and modestly faster functional recovery, with lower fistula and wound‑infection r
A validated NCDB-derived risk score using age, sex, race, comorbidity, stage, neoadjuvant therapy, length of stay and conversion identifies patients at markedly different 30-day mortality risk after proctectomy (0.8%–4.5%).
This multicenter study defines international perioperative reference values for total pancreatectomy (TP). Even low‑risk TP carries higher morbidity and mortality than pancreatoduodenectomy; outcomes worsen with vascular resection or conver
A Medicare claims study of 19,692 balloon sinus dilations found 15% lacked a CT within one year; 31.8% of otolaryngologists were outliers, with a small group accounting for most missed imaging, highlighting gaps in adherence to preoperative
A randomized trial found personalized, remotely coached prehabilitation improved preoperative physical and cognitive function, produced distinct immunologic dampening of inflammatory signaling, and reduced moderate-to-severe postoperative c
A large multicenter cohort shows that both diagnosed and previously unrecognized diabetes (by HbA1c) are common in general surgery patients and independently linked to higher 30‑day complications, readmissions, and mortality—supporting rout
The UMC‑UPPERGI‑01 randomized trial (n=208) found laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy had similar 30‑day morbidity and mortality to open surgery for clinical T4a gastric cancer, despite longer operative times and modestl
Interim results from the phase 2 PHERFLOT trial show a 48.4% pathological complete response and a 67.7% major pathologic response after four cycles of pembrolizumab, trastuzumab and FLOT in localized HER2‑positive esophagogastric adenocarci
In high–cardiac-risk veterans after major vascular or general surgery, a liberal postoperative transfusion threshold (Hb <10 g/dL) did not reduce 90‑day death or major ischemic events compared with a restrictive threshold (Hb <7 g/dL)
A multicenter randomized trial shows electroacupuncture (EA) reduces time to first flatus and defecation and lowers prolonged POI after laparoscopic gastrectomy. Mechanistic plausibility, ERAS integration, and implementation challenges are
A multicentre randomized trial found EUS-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) superior to surgical gastrojejunostomy (SGJ) for malignant gastric outlet obstruction—improving oral intake, shortening hospital stay, enhancing quality of life and
A multicentre randomized trial (NCT05548114) found endoscopic ultrasound‑guided gastroenterostomy (EUS‑GE) superior to surgical gastrojejunostomy (SGJ) for malignant gastric outlet obstruction, with faster return to solid diet, shorter hosp
The ReCePI randomized phase 3 trial found that amustaline/glutathione pathogen-reduced red blood cells produced similar rates of acute kidney injury compared with conventional transfusion after cardiac or thoracic-aorta surgery, with few tr
This Canadian multicenter study evaluates liver transplant outcomes using grafts from donation after medical assistance in dying donors, showing comparable survival and complication rates to standard donors and increasing transplant activit
This landmark study reports the first successful genetically engineered pig auxiliary liver transplanted into a living human, revealing critical insights on immunological compatibility and post-transplant complications, advancing liver xeno
An international study reveals that postoperative vasopressor infusions after noncardiac surgery vary widely across hospitals and are linked to higher mortality and complications, highlighting the need for optimized management strategies.
Combining liver transplant with sleeve gastrectomy yields sustained weight loss, improved metabolic syndrome, and reduced liver allograft steatosis, without increasing mortality or graft loss, offering an effective treatment for obese patie
A large retrospective cohort study reveals bariatric surgery markedly lowers the incidence of key metabolic comorbidities compared to weight management alone in obese veterans, supporting its role in durable obesity-related risk reduction.
