The five that matter, every day.
Intraoperative adverse events (IAEs) during robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) can occur in about 8.6% of cases, but most are managed robotically without conversion to open surgery.
Clinicians face significant challenges when making surgical decisions for patients with dementia due to documentation and communication issues.
A nomogram can help predict early postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in gastric and colorectal cancer patients despite routine anticoagulant prophylaxis.
A new consensus from Italian experts offers a standardized, physiology-driven approach to managing appendiceal abscesses, aiming to reduce variability in surgical practice.
This systematic review shows that Heller's myotomy and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) outperform botulinum toxin for long-term symptom relief in primary achalasia.
A randomized trial reveals no significant cost benefit of robotic pancreatoduodenectomy compared to open surgery, despite higher intraoperative costs.
Neoadjuvant chemoradiation-immunotherapy offers better pathologic complete response rates compared to neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy alone in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, but it comes with increased postoperative pulmonary complications without improving long-term survival.
In patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy (ncit) significantly improves three-year overall survival compared to standard chemoradiotherapy (ncrt).
In patients undergoing emergency laparotomy, incisional negative pressure wound therapy (INPWT) significantly decreases the risk of surgical site infections (SSI) compared to standard dressings.
A new study identifies key predictors of early recurrence in gastric cancer patients after curative gastrectomy, developed specifically for a non-East Asian cohort.
