This study of 1,722 pancreaticoduodenectomies identifies key bleeding sources and predictors for severe postpancreatectomy hemorrhage, highlighting the roles of bile leak and infection in patients with pancreatic fistula and redefining cryp
A prospective cohort study demonstrates that a specialized multidisciplinary approach combining surgical and gastroenterological treatments significantly improves bowel function and quality of life in patients with low anterior resection sy
Genetic susceptibility to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is amplified by gut microbiota interactions, with ceramides playing a key role; targeted microbial interventions can reverse hepatic injury in at-ris
A randomized trial found no significant difference in delayed gastric emptying rates between side-to-side and end-to-side gastrojejunostomy after pancreatoduodenectomy, with comparable postoperative outcomes and quality of life.
The IPAD randomized trial shows no significant difference in delayed gastric emptying rates between side-to-side and end-to-side gastrojejunostomy after pancreatoduodenectomy, with comparable postoperative outcomes and quality of life.
This prospective pilot study demonstrates that gastric point-of-care ultrasound (G-POCUS) performed by trained nurses is a feasible, well-tolerated, and reliable method to assess gastric content in patients recovering from gastrointestinal
Early postoperative peripheral parenteral nutrition after colorectal resection reduces inflammatory markers and improves nitrogen balance without increasing complications, suggesting a beneficial supportive strategy in surgical recovery man
Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act is associated with reduced mortality in patients under 65 diagnosed with colorectal cancer and synchronous liver metastasis, notably improving outcomes for those receiving surgical and system
An 8-week course of bemnifosbuvir and ruzasvir showed high sustained virologic response rates with excellent safety in treatment-naïve chronic hepatitis C patients across genotypes, including those with baseline resistance mutations.
The INTERCEPT study demonstrates that longitudinal ctDNA testing effectively detects minimal residual disease post-curative treatment in colorectal cancer, enhancing recurrence prediction and refining risk stratification to guide future int
A 24-year-old obese male presents with incidental liver abnormalities; imaging reveals severe steatohepatitis with unusual features prompting detailed diagnostic evaluation and management strategies.
A large Korean cohort study found similar hepatic benefits between empagliflozin and dapagliflozin in patients with type 2 diabetes and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, with no difference in risk of severe liver com
This article reviews how hypothermic oxygenated and normothermic machine perfusion reduce hepatic and systemic inflammation after liver transplantation, improving immune regulation and clinical outcomes.
Medicaid expansion is associated with improved graft and patient survival following adult liver transplantation, highlighting the benefits of broader health insurance access on transplant outcomes.
This study reveals that liver transplant recipients exhibit significantly reduced lung function and increased dyspnea compared to the general population, highlighting the need for heightened pulmonary surveillance in this vulnerable group.
This study compares normothermic machine perfusion and normothermic regional perfusion in DCD liver transplants, demonstrating both advanced methods approach brain death graft survival and improve outcomes over static cold storage.
A national propensity-matched analysis shows that chronic glucocorticoid use does not elevate 30-day morbidity or mortality after distal pancreatectomy, challenging perceptions of steroid-related surgical risk.
A concise summary of the EUROSTAR POQI consensus (Gut 2026) recommending standardized symptom monitoring, diagnostic criteria, investigation pathways and multidisciplinary services to manage common postoperative problems after oesophago‑gas
Postbariatric hypoglycemia (PBH) is linked to rapid gastric emptying after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. GLP-1 receptor agonists slow gastric emptying but do not prevent hypoglycemia, highlighting complex metabolic mechanisms in PBH management.
Colonic fistulas in necrotizing pancreatitis do not always require surgery. Low-risk patients with lower BISAP scores may be successfully managed nonoperatively, reducing ICU stays and hospital length without compromising survival.
