A randomized trial found no significant benefit of early specialist palliative care on end-of-life outcomes among patients undergoing curative abdominal cancer surgery, suggesting tailored rather than routine involvement.
This study externally validates PD-ROBOSCORE as a predictor of major postoperative complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy, demonstrating its comparable performance across open and robotic techniques and highlighting its utility in surg
A landmark pan-European study confirms that a structured, simulation-based training program enables safe introduction of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy, improving surgeon skills and maintaining patient safety across diverse centers.
Postoperative pneumothorax after thyroid or parathyroid surgery is uncommon but linked with significantly increased mortality and complications, underscoring the need for vigilance and prompt management.
This study of 1,722 pancreaticoduodenectomies identifies key bleeding sources and predictors for severe postpancreatectomy hemorrhage, highlighting the roles of bile leak and infection in patients with pancreatic fistula and redefining cryp
Surgeons’ preoperative subjective assessments quantified by visual analog scale significantly predict severe postoperative complications, enhancing traditional risk models for better perioperative prognosis.
The SICE Liver ICG study demonstrated that indocyanine green fluorescence imaging significantly improves detection and margin assessment during minimally invasive, parenchymal-sparing liver resections for colorectal metastases, supporting m
A prospective cohort study demonstrates that a specialized multidisciplinary approach combining surgical and gastroenterological treatments significantly improves bowel function and quality of life in patients with low anterior resection sy
A large nationwide Danish survey reveals that chronic pain and sexual dysfunction are common long-term consequences following groin hernia repair in adolescents, underscoring the need for tailored surgical approaches and specialized care.
A randomized trial found no significant difference in delayed gastric emptying rates between side-to-side and end-to-side gastrojejunostomy after pancreatoduodenectomy, with comparable postoperative outcomes and quality of life.
This two-center randomized trial assessed near-infrared autofluorescence imaging to identify parathyroid glands during total thyroidectomy. Despite higher gland identification rates, the technology did not reduce hypoparathyroidism incidenc
This nationwide Danish study reveals that younger patients exhibit significantly higher recurrence rates after primary ventral hernia repair than older patients, highlighting the need for age-specific preoperative counseling.
The IPAD randomized trial shows no significant difference in delayed gastric emptying rates between side-to-side and end-to-side gastrojejunostomy after pancreatoduodenectomy, with comparable postoperative outcomes and quality of life.
This study demonstrates that elevated BMI and obesity classification do not increase the risk of complications or prolong recovery times following open airway reconstruction surgeries, guiding surgical decision-making in overweight and obes
This large-scale study reveals that adolescent and young adult women with breast cancer predominantly undergo mastectomy and experience comparable perioperative outcomes to older women, despite a higher metastatic burden.
Early postoperative peripheral parenteral nutrition after colorectal resection reduces inflammatory markers and improves nitrogen balance without increasing complications, suggesting a beneficial supportive strategy in surgical recovery man
An AI-based automatic 3D virtual liver modeling tool accurately predicts intraoperative liver resection complexity (LRC) from preoperative CT scans, outperforming surgeons’ assessments and potentially improving surgical planning and p
A randomized trial found that preoperative analgesic education did not significantly reduce opioid consumption or improve pain scores and satisfaction after surgery, highlighting the need for more intensive interventions.
This study identifies key hospital configurations—organizational readiness, staff buy-in, workload management—that drive successful enhanced recovery program implementation, revealing context-dependent pathways to improved surgical outcomes
The 2025 Italian consensus offers a reproducible, anatomy- and physiology-focused approach to appendiceal abscess management, clarifying imaging grading, escalation criteria, and when to operate, drain, or observe.
