Neoadjuvant therapy alters key prognostic factors in resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, enabling personalized survival prediction models distinct from chemo-naïve patients.
A 10-year prospective cohort study demonstrates high implant survival and clinical stability following surgical peri-implantitis treatment combining DBBMC, enamel matrix derivative, doxycycline, and tailored supportive therapy.
A novel T classification system based on tumor invasion depth significantly improves prognostic stratification for biliary tract cancers around the cystic duct junction, unifying diverse cancer types under the junctional cholangiocarcinoma
This study explores how microbiome compositions differ in patients with foregut anastomotic leaks managed endoscopically versus surgically, highlighting nutrition and microbial patterns as key factors influencing healing.
A large Danish study evaluates how mesh placement during incisional hernia repair affects patient-reported outcomes, finding increased foreign body sensation with onlay mesh but no differences in chronic pain or recurrence.
Ultrasound demonstrates high accuracy and reproducibility in preoperative localization of lymphovenous anastomosis sites, outperforming existing methods and offering a robust tool for lymphedema surgery planning.
This study evaluates how treatment for cholecystitis affects the timely resumption of cancer therapy, highlighting that half of cancer patients return to therapy within six weeks, with hematologic malignancies and drainage procedures linked
Italian data suggest prolonged warm ischemic times in donation after circulatory death do not compromise kidney and liver transplant outcomes when combined with advanced perfusion techniques, challenging traditional strict cutoffs.
The Semi-Elective Transplant Initiative (SETI) introduces a systems-based approach to deceased-donor kidney transplantation, improving logistics and graft utilization by shifting to proactive scheduling and expanded machine perfusion, witho
Federal executive orders restricting DEI initiatives pose significant challenges to academic surgery’s workforce diversity, research integrity, and editorial freedom. Adaptive strategies integrating equity into existing quality and sa
A randomized controlled trial showed that preoperative botulinum toxin injection into the sphincter of Oddi does not reduce the incidence of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula following distal pancreatectomy.
This review synthesizes evidence comparing laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation and myomectomy for uterine leiomyomata, highlighting higher treatment failure rates with RFA and identifying predictive factors influencing outcomes.
Prolonged donor warm ischemia during pure laparoscopic donor right hepatectomy elevates recipient biliary stricture risk, underscoring the need to minimize warm ischemic time for better post-transplant outcomes.
Omission of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in select postmenopausal patients with early HR+/HER2- breast cancer and negative axillary ultrasound is feasible and safe, reducing surgical morbidity without compromising short-term outcomes.
This article analyzes FDA-approved surgical AI devices, highlighting trends in technology, evidence quality, regulatory pathways, and implications for clinical adoption.
Postoperative day 2 C-reactive protein under 100 mg/L effectively excludes anastomotic leakage with high negative predictive value, enabling earlier and safer discharge in colon cancer resection patients within ERAS protocols.
This Swiss retrospective study reveals that while obesity in kidney transplant recipients increases early surgical complications and delayed graft function, it does not affect long-term patient or graft survival, suggesting obesity alone sh
This study identifies a learning curve in robotic gastroenterostomy during robotic pancreatoduodenectomy and shows that better surgical performance reduces delayed gastric emptying risk, suggesting OSATS scoring as a valuable training tool.
A large retrospective study shows no benefit of routine postoperative antibiotics after appendectomy for acute appendicitis, even with intra-abdominal fluid; highlights risk factors driving infections instead.
A virtual tobacco cessation program targeting surgical patients showed low engagement despite potential benefits, highlighting the need for tailored approaches to improve participation and outcomes in this population.
