Robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) significantly improves functional recovery and reduces complications compared to open esophagectomy, making it the preferred technique at high-volume centers.
Annual best practice meetings in the Netherlands led to a significant decrease in anastomotic leakage rates following esophagectomy for cancer.
A new consensus provides standardized guidelines for managing symptoms after upper gastrointestinal cancer surgery, addressing a critical gap in postoperative care.
Intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging did not provide a clinically relevant benefit for lymph node dissection in gastric cancer surgery among western patients.
A novel Y-shaped layered antireflux anastomosis significantly improves outcomes in esophagectomy compared to traditional circular-stapled techniques.
Expert consensus provides critical insights on managing paraconduit herniation (PCH) following esophagectomy, emphasizing prevention and specific patient criteria for repair.
Laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) is a viable option for managing challenging superficial non-ampullary duodenal tumors, especially those that are larger or more deeply invasive.
Both redo Heller myotomy and peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) effectively improve symptoms in patients with recurrent dysphagia after failed laparoscopic Heller myotomy, but POEM shows significant advantages.
This multicenter study demonstrates that endoscopic resection of small non-ampullary duodenal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs ≤10 mm) is effective, showing high en bloc resection rates, and low complications.
The VAC-Stent GI™ shows promising efficacy and safety for managing upper gastrointestinal leaks post-surgery, achieving a closure rate of 85.3%.
