Multimodal Prehabilitation Reduces Complications in Frail Elderly with Gastric Cancer
A multimodal prehabilitation program improves outcomes for older patients with frailty undergoing radical gastrectomy.
Active Surveillance Offers Quality of Life Benefits in Oesophageal Cancer
Active surveillance after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy provides similar survival to surgery while significantly enhancing quality of life for patients with locally advanced oesophageal cancer.
Intrathoracic Side-Overlap Anastomosis Reduces Pain and Reflux
Intrathoracic side-overlap esophagogastrostomy (SOE) shows promise as a viable alternative to circular stapled (CSE) technique in esophagectomy for Siewert type I/II adenocarcinoma.
Robotic Esophagectomy Cuts Nerve Palsy Risk, Outcomes Similar
Robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) shows lower nerve injury rates compared to conventional minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) for esophageal cancer.
Laparoscopic Antireflux Surgery Outperforms Robotic Approach
Robotic-assisted antireflux surgery shows less cost-effectiveness compared to laparoscopic methods.
Esophagectomy vs Active Surveillance: Long-Term Outcomes for Esophageal Cancer
Active surveillance may be a viable option for select esophageal cancer patients achieving clinical complete response after neoadjuvant chemoradiation, but esophagectomy secures superior long-term survival.
Early Feeding Safe After Esophagectomy for Cancer Patients
Early oral feeding after esophagectomy is safe and leads to better recovery outcomes.
Minimally invasive total gastrectomy matches open approach for cancer
Minimally invasive total gastrectomy (MITG) is as effective as open total gastrectomy (OTG) for locally advanced gastric cancer.
Cost Drivers in Laparoscopic Hiatal Hernia Repair Identified
Understanding the factors affecting hospitalization costs in laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair can optimize surgical strategies and patient management.
