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
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.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) does not independently affect postoperative length of stay or complication rates after gastrostomy tube placement in children. Instead, outcomes are more strongly influenced by developmental delay and preopera
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
This article reviews the incidence of inadvertent parathyroidectomy during thyroidectomy, identifies key risk factors, and discusses clinical significance and emerging strategies for parathyroid preservation.
A cross-sectional survey reveals that leadership dissatisfaction, work-life imbalance, and burnout drive surgical faculty turnover, while teaching and collegial relationships promote retention.
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.
The World Society of Emergency Surgery (2026) issues GRADE-based guidance favoring selective primary repair and physiology-guided reconstruction for most colon and rectal injuries, with CT-based diagnosis and limited routine diversion.
A study assessing the diagnostic accuracy and clinical net benefit of visual parathyroid gland identification during thyroidectomy reveals limited specificity and highlights the need for adjunctive validation methods to enhance gland preser
This study assesses how often parathyroidectomy yields clinically meaningful improvements in bone mineral density, with or without adjuvant bisphosphonate treatment in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.
This clinical trial compares ultrasound-guided transvaginal drainage to laparoscopy for tubo-ovarian abscess evacuation, highlighting differences in cure rates, reintervention frequency, and recovery outcomes.
Frailty negatively impacts swallowing improvement after UES surgery for cricopharyngeus muscle dysfunction, with nonfrail patients experiencing greater benefits. Frailty assessment aids preoperative planning without excluding patients from
This study links environmental burdens, notably air pollution and proximity to transportation, to increased postoperative complications, revealing a critical pathway for health disparities in surgery.
This study validates the Critical View of Quality (CVQ) as an intraoperative metric of lymphadenectomy quality in distal gastrectomy and presents a novel computer vision model for its automated video-based assessment, enhancing objective su
The Laennec technique offers a structured, anatomy-based robotic approach for right donor hepatectomies, demonstrating safety, feasibility, and zero biliary complications, potentially standardizing this complex procedure across centers.
This multicenter study evaluates how the surgical learning phase impacts major complications and oncological quality in robotic left-sided pancreatectomy, demonstrating safe adoption with consistent morbidity and highlighting the need for o
This article reviews a large institutional study highlighting a low incidence of coronary malperfusion following stentless bioprosthetic aortic root replacement using the Freestyle valve and techniques to reduce this complication.
This study evaluates the delivery of trauma-informed care in initial trauma bay assessments, revealing inconsistencies in communication and care quality, especially among Spanish-speaking patients, underscoring the need for equity-focused t
This study compares robotic and laparoscopic cholecystectomy, highlighting robotic surgery’s advantages in safety for high-risk and obese patients despite higher costs, and introduces a predictive risk calculator to aid surgical decis
