In penetrating liver trauma, angioembolization offers survival outcomes comparable to surgery but is linked to longer hospital and ICU stays, highlighting the need for strategic patient selection and multidisciplinary care integration.
This international cohort study evaluates hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) versus normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) in liver transplantation, revealing comparable high graft survival despite differing donor risk profiles and highl
A national multipayer analysis demonstrates robotic cholecystectomy offers comparable safety to laparoscopic methods while improving key outcomes versus open surgery, signaling maturation of robotic biliary surgery.
A large European study shows that severe anastomotic leaks requiring surgical reintervention after esophagectomy significantly reduce long-term survival and increase postoperative mortality, underscoring the need for targeted management str
A global study identifies key hospital-level modifiable resources that reduce 90-day mortality after pancreas surgery and introduces a composite Hospital Resource Index to guide improvements beyond surgical volume centralization.
Minimally invasive hepatopancreatobiliary surgery offers shorter hospital stays, fewer readmissions, and significantly lower one-year healthcare expenditures compared to open surgery, with no significant difference in overall patient out-of
The Pennsylvania Rural Health Model’s implementation did not significantly change short-term cancer surgery outcomes among rural residents, suggesting that alternative approaches may be necessary to improve surgical oncology care in rural s
Pharmacological reduction of plasminogen via antifibrinolytic agents accelerates liver regeneration after surgery in mice and decreases posthepatectomy liver failure risk in patients, representing a promising therapeutic approach.
The POuCH study clarifies outcomes of surgery for cricopharyngeal muscle dysfunction (CPMD) with Zenker diverticulum, distinguishing persistent from recurrent dysphagia via patient-reported EAT-10 scores, aiding clinical management of posto
Decompensated cirrhosis markedly elevates mortality, complications, and costs following cardiac surgery. Optimized risk models and tailored management are essential for improved patient outcomes.
This article reviews a novel surgical technique for adult living donor liver transplantation that enhances vascular reconstruction, significantly reduces hepatic arterial thrombosis, and utilizes the umbilical portion as an autologous graft
This study evaluates nonvascularized rectus fascia allotransplantation (NVRF-alloTx) as an effective, versatile reconstructive option in both solid organ transplant and non-transplant patients, demonstrating promising integration and functi
This multicenter prospective study reveals that colectomy in recurrent sigmoid diverticulitis improves disease-specific quality of life and reduces 1-year recurrence compared to observation, informing surgical decision-making.
A new living donor liver transplant program in the U.S. demonstrates that adult living donor hepatectomy can be safely implemented, with surgical proficiency and donor outcomes improving through accumulated experience.
This review summarizes the clinical characteristics, disease course, and survival outcomes of lung metastases after gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients, highlighting prognostic factors and the role of pulmonary metastasectomy.
A national survey reveals that most US surgeons report high workload hours and a majority perceive their workload as excessive, with factors such as years in practice, gender, and specialty influencing burden perception.
A multicenter study developed a robust exosomal microRNA-based model enabling preoperative detection of occult liver micrometastasis in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, improving risk stratification and guiding treatment sequencing.
This study assesses the procedural maturation and midterm durability of the posterior rectus sheath flap (PoRSHA) for hiatal reinforcement in complex paraesophageal hernias, demonstrating favorable recurrence rates and low donor-site morbid
A Europe-wide prospective study shows wide variation in morphology-based surgery for chronic pancreatitis and no clear outcome advantage from current guideline concordance — underscoring the need for unified, clearer recommendations on rese
