Endoscopic repair of congenital choanal atresia using mucoperiosteal flaps without stenting shows high long-term neochoanal patency but a significant reoperation rate, underscoring the need for diligent follow-up and tailored postoperative
Venting gastrostomy tube placement in malignant bowel obstruction is linked to improved diet tolerance, fewer vomiting episodes, and reduced antiemetic use, with successful placement achievable in over 90% of cases despite challenges.
Delaying additional surgery beyond 35 days after noncurative endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in early gastric cancer reduces operative time and blood loss, potentially improving perioperative outcomes.
Robotic cholecystectomy for complex gallbladder disease reduces postoperative complications and interventions compared to laparoscopic surgery without increasing total costs, suggesting a strategic role for robotic platforms in complex case
A 10-year follow-up of a randomized trial comparing conservative nodule excision with segmental resection for rectal endometriosis reveals comparable long-term functional outcomes, low recurrence rates, and sustained symptomatic relief.
This multicenter retrospective study examines colorectal dysplasia and malignancy outcomes in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis and inflammatory bowel disease undergoing liver transplantation and colectomy, revealing comparable 5
A nationwide cohort study demonstrated that implementing a comprehensive multimodal prehabilitation program in colorectal cancer surgery patients lowers postoperative complications and shortens hospital stay across age and health status gro
High-volume trauma centers independently achieve faster surgical intervention and better outcomes in blunt intestinal injuries, highlighting the critical role of clinical experience and hospital resources in managing these rare injuries.
Young patients undergoing resection for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) exhibit excellent long-term quality of life comparable to the general population despite endocrine and exocrine insufficiencies.
This review synthesizes evidence on AR-guided single-encounter localization for early-stage lung cancer, highlighting its noninferiority to CT-guided methods with benefits in patient comfort, radiation reduction, and procedural efficiency.
This study evaluates the added value of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and fine needle aspiration (FNA) after MRI in assessing pancreatic cystic neoplasms, demonstrating significant improvement in diagnostic specificity and clinical decision-m
This article explores how mucosa-associated microbiota changes after ileal resection in Crohn’s disease correlate with postoperative recurrence, highlighting microbial signatures and dynamic ecosystem changes along the Rutgeerts score.
This study identifies plasma oxytocin as a superior preoperative biomarker compared to copeptin for early prediction of transient arginine vasopressin deficiency after transsphenoidal pituitary surgery, aiding in risk stratification and pos
This study demonstrates that the 5-variable Modified Frailty Index effectively predicts short- and long-term morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation, supporting its use in pretransplant assessment and perioperative planning.
This 10-year randomized clinical trial reveals that sacrospinous hysteropexy with mesh offers lower failure rates and comparable safety to vaginal hysterectomy in treating uterovaginal prolapse, supporting its use as an effective uterine-pr
This nationwide US study analyzes 10,687 simultaneous liver-kidney transplants, highlighting increased use of DCD donors with machine perfusion and comparable outcomes to DBD transplants, supporting broader DCD adoption in selected patients
Higher Modified Frailty Index scores correlate with increased postoperative complications and emergency visits following total thyroidectomy, underscoring the value of frailty assessment in surgical risk stratification.
This study demonstrates that fistulotomy combined with primary sphincteroplasty offers a high success rate and minimal incontinence risk for complex anal fistulas, supporting its use as an effective single-stage treatment.
This study evaluates the impact of lumpectomy margin widths on local recurrence in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive DCIS undergoing lumpectomy, radiation, and endocrine therapy, suggesting minimal recurrence differences b
