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.
This two-center randomized trial assessed near-infrared autofluorescence imaging to identify parathyroid glands during total thyroidectomy. Despite higher gland identification rates, the technology did not reduce hypoparathyroidism incidenc
This nationwide Danish study reveals that younger patients exhibit significantly higher recurrence rates after primary ventral hernia repair than older patients, highlighting the need for age-specific preoperative counseling.
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 study demonstrates that elevated BMI and obesity classification do not increase the risk of complications or prolong recovery times following open airway reconstruction surgeries, guiding surgical decision-making in overweight and obes
This large-scale study reveals that adolescent and young adult women with breast cancer predominantly undergo mastectomy and experience comparable perioperative outcomes to older women, despite a higher metastatic burden.
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
An AI-based automatic 3D virtual liver modeling tool accurately predicts intraoperative liver resection complexity (LRC) from preoperative CT scans, outperforming surgeons’ assessments and potentially improving surgical planning and p
A randomized trial found that preoperative analgesic education did not significantly reduce opioid consumption or improve pain scores and satisfaction after surgery, highlighting the need for more intensive interventions.
This study identifies key hospital configurations—organizational readiness, staff buy-in, workload management—that drive successful enhanced recovery program implementation, revealing context-dependent pathways to improved surgical outcomes
The 2025 Italian consensus offers a reproducible, anatomy- and physiology-focused approach to appendiceal abscess management, clarifying imaging grading, escalation criteria, and when to operate, drain, or observe.
A 2022 national study shows frailty, not chronological age, is a stronger predictor of 30-day postoperative mortality across surgical risk levels, challenging age-based surgical decision-making.
This review synthesizes current evidence comparing enucleation and pancreatoduodenectomy for benign and low-grade malignant pancreatic head tumors, highlighting differential perioperative risks, long-term quality of life, and tumor-specific
A multicenter randomized clinical trial shows robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy yields higher lymph node clearance with comparable safety to conventional thoracolaparoscopic approaches for esophageal adenocarcinoma.
Robotic-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) advances surgical treatment in esophageal cancer, offering improved outcomes and standardization, evaluated through the IDEAL Framework and supported by international registry data.
In women aged 65 and older with cT2N0 hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, sentinel lymph node biopsy rarely alters adjuvant therapy plans, supporting a more individualized approach to axillary staging in this population.
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.
This study demonstrates that intraoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring during thyroid surgery is independently associated with reduced postoperative airway complications, especially benefiting high-risk patients with significant c
This study evaluates shunt preservation strategies in adults with ventriculoperitoneal shunts undergoing emergency abdominal surgery, finding low infection rates and favorable outcomes with shunt retention.
Extended venous thromboembolism prophylaxis using once-daily subcutaneous enoxaparin post-pancreatectomy does not significantly reduce thrombotic events; higher BMI heightens risk, signaling a need for optimized, possibly weight-based dosin
