CD177+ neutrophils facilitate rapid liver regeneration post-ALPPS by promoting extracellular matrix remodeling and hepatocyte growth factor release, revealing new immunological insights and potential therapeutic avenues for liver failure.
Clinicians face multifaceted challenges during surgical decision-making for patients with dementia, including difficulties in dementia recognition, reliance on caregivers, and lack of evidence-based guidelines, underscoring the need for imp
This study highlights significant gaps in global surgery education among medical students in Australia and New Zealand, revealing limited curricular exposure despite strong student interest and support for inclusion in medical training.
Textbook outcome—a composite measure of survival without complications or prolonged hospitalization—effectively distinguishes hospital performance and predicts 180-day mortality and readmission following elective adult cardiac surgery.
This article explores the complex challenges clinicians face in surgical decision-making for patients with dementia, highlighting issues with dementia identification, caregiver roles, and the influence of dementia on surgical outcomes.
This prospective study reveals that health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) declines immediately after hepatectomy for high-risk colorectal liver metastases but returns to or surpasses baseline by one year in patients without recurrence, un
This study reveals that trauma significantly increases social risks such as food insecurity and housing instability, especially in younger adults, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to mitigate socioeconomic consequences post-
Following pivotal trial data demonstrating reduced infection and pancreatic fistula rates with piperacillin-tazobactam prophylaxis in pancreatoduodenectomy, adoption of broad-spectrum antibiotics increased significantly, particularly among
A large randomized clinical trial demonstrated that preoperative high-dose corticosteroids do not reduce major postoperative complications in elective digestive cancer surgery, challenging their routine use for perioperative inflammation co
This article examines the incidence and management of intraoperative adverse events during robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy, highlighting their impact on surgical results and postoperative recovery.
This national study identifies key factors linked to 30-day nonelective readmissions after open lower extremity revascularization, highlighting stable readmission rates despite reduced procedure volume and the need for standardized discharg
Analysis reveals growing Medicare payment disparities between hospitals and physicians for general surgery procedures from 2019 to 2023, highlighting urgent policy needs for alignment to sustain equitable surgical care delivery.
Social vulnerability significantly elevates mortality and complications after major cardiac surgery, and treatment at high-volume centers does not mitigate these disparities, highlighting the need for systemic interventions beyond hospital
The CLAEG study prospectively evaluated radical surgery in adenocarcinoma of the oesophagogastric junction, demonstrating that prioritizing abdominal lymphadenectomy, neoadjuvant therapy, total gastrectomy, and laparoscopic approaches yield
This randomized trial analysis compares the costs and quality-adjusted life years of robotic versus open pancreatoduodenectomy, revealing no significant cost differences but a lower probability that robotic surgery is cost-effective at six
A quality improvement project demonstrates the feasibility and high patient satisfaction of a smartphone app for daily symptom tracking and timely intervention after pancreatic surgery, potentially reducing complications and readmissions.
This nationwide Dutch cohort study reveals sex- and age-specific differences in mortality, long-term survival, and postdischarge care after ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, emphasizing the need for tailored management in women.
Since 2012, waiting times from diagnosis to first cancer surgery have significantly increased across major US cancers, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations and high-volume academic centers, underscoring urgent need for system
This study quantitatively compares the direct healthcare costs of thyroid radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and hemithyroidectomy over one year, revealing cost advantages of RFA driven by reduced facility use, tempered by factors like repeat pr
A decade-long follow-up of the SECA-II study demonstrates that liver transplantation in highly selected patients with nonresectable colorectal liver-only metastases yields substantial long-term survival and may offer curative potential even
