This multicenter prospective study reveals that colectomy in recurrent sigmoid diverticulitis improves disease-specific quality of life and reduces 1-year recurrence compared to observation, informing surgical decision-making.
A new living donor liver transplant program in the U.S. demonstrates that adult living donor hepatectomy can be safely implemented, with surgical proficiency and donor outcomes improving through accumulated experience.
This review summarizes the clinical characteristics, disease course, and survival outcomes of lung metastases after gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients, highlighting prognostic factors and the role of pulmonary metastasectomy.
A national survey reveals that most US surgeons report high workload hours and a majority perceive their workload as excessive, with factors such as years in practice, gender, and specialty influencing burden perception.
A multicenter study developed a robust exosomal microRNA-based model enabling preoperative detection of occult liver micrometastasis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, improving risk stratification and guiding treatment sequencing.
This study assesses the procedural maturation and midterm durability of the posterior rectus sheath flap (PoRSHA) for hiatal reinforcement in complex paraesophageal hernias, demonstrating favorable recurrence rates and low donor-site morbid
A Europe-wide prospective study shows wide variation in morphology-based surgery for chronic pancreatitis and no clear outcome advantage from current guideline concordance — underscoring the need for unified, clearer recommendations on rese
This article reviews a novel laparoscopic technique for rectal endometriosis involving mesentery preservation and nerve-sparing hand-sewn anastomosis, demonstrating feasibility and neurovascular protection compared to conventional stapled m
This study elucidates how distinct patterns and gradations of vascular invasion in hepatocellular carcinoma differentially impact recurrence timing and overall survival, enabling improved postoperative risk stratification.
A validated nomogram predicts hypothyroidism risk within 12 months after hemithyroidectomy using clinical and pathological variables, aiding tailored patient counseling and postoperative monitoring.
This study elucidates transcriptomic differences between primary gastric cancers and peritoneal metastases, revealing distinct tumor microenvironments and molecular pathways, highlighting potential targets for improved diagnosis and therapy
This review synthesizes evidence from recent randomized controlled trials assessing negative pressure therapy (NPT) for reducing wound complications after major lower extremity amputation, highlighting variable efficacy and potential benefi
This study demonstrates that classifying a Functional Status Scale score of 7 as normal underestimates long-term disability in injured children, advocating for revised scoring cutoffs and routine follow-up assessments to enhance outcome det
Neighborhood deprivation measured by ADI correlates with poorer pre-implant speech recognition and quality of life but does not impact post-implantation benefits, highlighting socioeconomic disparities in cochlear implant access rather than
The ARMONIA multicenter survey demonstrated that the Muysoms A-H-M-T-F nomenclature for hernia repair reporting shows moderate-to-substantial reproducibility internationally and reduces terminology variability compared to classic nomenclatu
This study characterizes abnormal lymphatic reflux patterns in primary chylopericardium using direct lymphangiography and demonstrates that guided cervical thoracic duct exploration yields a 66% long-term success rate, with specific reflux
This study links higher neighborhood deprivation with increased 90-day mortality following major hepatectomy, highlighting social determinants as vital preoperative risk factors.
This study shows that the choice of cannulation site—femoral versus axillary—does not independently affect early mortality or neurological complications after acute type A aortic dissection repair; instead, timely systemic reperfusion and c
This randomized clinical trial demonstrates that SI-449, a novel cross-linked chondroitin sulfate powder, significantly reduces postoperative adhesions following open rectal cancer surgery, offering a safe and practical adhesion prevention
A propensity-matched study shows adding radiotherapy to neoadjuvant chemotherapy improves pathologic response but does not enhance survival or reduce recurrence in resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
