Indocyanine-green (ICG)-guided lymphography during minimally invasive esophagectomy significantly decreased the incidence of postoperative chyle leak from 11.8% to 4.6% (p=0.026). Additionally, it was linked to a shorter median hospital stay of 9 days compared to 13 days in patients without ICG guidance (p=0.006). Although chyle…
A novel critical view approach in paraesophageal hernia repair yielded significant outcomes. Patients experiencing this technique had a recurrence rate of 9.7% versus 20% for standard repair (p < 0.01) and reoperation rates of 0.5% compared to 10% (p < 0.001). Adjusted outcomes also indicated…
The study evaluated the intracorporeal triangular anastomotic technique (INTACT) in robotic distal gastrectomy (RDG) with Billroth I reconstruction, involving 81 patients aged 31 to 91 years. Results showed median blood loss was 0 ml, and postoperative stays averaged 8 days. Importantly, there were no incidences…
A population-based study indicates that staging laparoscopy in gastric cancer patients increased from 19.6% in 2016 to 32.3% in 2021 (p
Patients undergoing pyloroplasty for gastroparesis showed significant symptom improvement, with a GCSI score reduction from 3.5 to 2.7 at 18.7 months. However, 28.8% required gastric stimulation due to inadequate recovery. Patients who needed adjunct stimulation were younger and had higher baseline GCSI scores. Following gastric…
The study validates the European Hernia Society classification for parastomal hernias (PH) by analyzing 160 cases at a single center. It demonstrates that this classification effectively categorizes PH, essential for surgical planning and anticipating complications. Findings reveal a high incidence of complex type III and…
Analysis of 120 gastrectomies for appendiceal pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) over 20 years revealed a median survival of 104 months and a 10-year overall survival rate of 47%. While complications were observed in 32% of cases, 90-day mortality was low at 1.75%. Outcomes improved over decades,…
Adopting an initial conservative management strategy for clinically stable patients with incarcerated paraesophageal hernias allows 66% to resolve their conditions without urgent surgery. Among the 35 patients studied, one experienced unplanned readmission before planned interval repair. Complication rates remained similar between those who underwent conservative…
A study examining total mesogastric excision (TME) for gastric cancer found that it results in significantly lower mean blood loss and a higher number of metastatic lymph nodes compared to standard D2 lymphadenectomy. With 37 patients involved, initial findings suggest TME offers advantages in peroperative…
A retrospective analysis involving 645 patients with cT2 staged adenocarcinomas indicated that neoadjuvant treatment followed by surgery (nat/s) yields significantly better overall survival compared to primary surgery (ps). Median overall survival was 114.0 months for nat/s versus 51.0 months for ps in the cT2cnany cohort.…
