Patients undergoing laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with billroth-ii braun reconstruction had a shorter hospital stay and quicker post-op recovery compared to billroth-ii reconstruction. Additionally, they experienced fewer complications, weight loss, and postoperative syndrome symptoms such as reflux esophagitis. This technique offers better nutritional status, electrolyte balance,…
Patients achieving preoperative weight loss goals before laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair experienced lower symptom burden and higher resolution of common symptoms postoperatively. High achievers demonstrated significantly better outcomes one month after surgery compared to low achievers, indicating active patient engagement can positively impact surgical results…
Minimally invasive surgery for gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) resections showed increased utilization and improved perioperative outcomes over time. Complication rates decreased, duration of admission and operating time shortened, while the composite measure of textbook outcome (TO) increased. Minimally invasive surgery was associated with fewer…
Retrospective multicentric study comparing surgical and endoscopic gastroenterostomy for gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) revealed similar technical and clinical success rates, post-procedure outcomes, and mortality between the two procedures. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gastroenterostomy (EUS-GE) showed advantages such as shorter procedure duration, lower complications, and shorter hospital stay.…
In metastatic Grade 1 gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs), a higher burden of liver disease significantly reduces progression-free survival (PFS). Patients with concomitant extra-hepatic involvement have a lower overall survival (OS) rate. Liver tumor burden emerged as the sole predictor of PFS. These findings suggest a…
Explores AI's significant impact on early detection and surgical intervention for gastric cancer, crucial for improving patient outcomes. AI enhances early detection precision through image analysis and aids surgical decision-making with predictive modeling. The review discusses the historical shift in gastric cancer treatment towards surgical…
Minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) demonstrated superior outcomes over open esophagectomy (OE) for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. MIE patients had lower postoperative complications, higher R0 resection rate, better 3-year survival rates, and reduced locoregional recurrence. This benefit was especially pronounced in patients with CT3-4 tumors. Overall,…
CT findings of gross perforation and peritonitis are significant factors associated with surgery in delayed perforation after endoscopic tumor resection. These factors can guide patients towards an appropriate treatment plan, with a low rate of 0.50% experiencing delayed perforation. Clinical factors and pneumoperitoneum amount were…
Using CT imaging data, a deep learning model accurately predicts postoperative recurrence in gastric cancer patients. Developed and validated on 2,813 patients, the model showed excellent performance in identifying high-risk cases of recurrence. The deep learning fusion signature outperformed clinical models and baseline deep learning…
Extended regular follow-up after 5 years postgastrectomy in gastric cancer patients significantly reduced overall mortality rates and improved postrecurrence survival rates. The combination of endoscopy and abdominopelvic CT had the highest 5-year postrecurrence survival rate. A time interval of more than 2 years between previous…
