The STOPS trial demonstrates noninferiority of subtotal colectomy with cecorectal anastomosis compared to total colectomy with ileorectal anastomosis for refractory slow-transit constipation at 1 year, balancing symptom relief with postoper
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.
This study introduces a four-tier descriptive framework for petroclival and temporal bone meningiomas that shows significant correlation with surgical outcomes, offering a valuable tool to guide surgical planning and patient counseling.
This retrospective study assesses the safety and impact of tranexamic acid on bleeding, transfusions, and complications in head and neck free flap surgery, finding no significant difference in outcomes and supporting its safe use.
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
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
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.
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 article reviews the clinical evaluation, differential diagnosis, and treatment outcomes of patients presenting with thyroid compressive symptoms, emphasizing the importance of thorough preoperative workup and individualized surgical se
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 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
This study evaluates how different pituitary adenoma histological subtypes influence remission and disease control in acromegaly post-surgery, finding no significant differences though sparsely granulated adenomas show a trend toward lower
A randomized clinical trial demonstrates that synthetic mesh reinforcement during subcostal abdominal closure notably decreases incisional hernia incidence without increasing postoperative complications, improving patient recovery after hep
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.
Despite nearly universal insurance coverage, nearly half of patients with distal upper extremity nerve injuries face significant financial hardship, influenced by injury location, surgical complexity, and preexisting debt. Targeted financia
Children with perinatal brain injury exhibit lower long-term success rates following strabismus surgery, mainly due to undercorrection despite comparable surgical dosing. Larger preoperative deviations predict poorer outcomes, underscoring
This review synthesizes evidence linking neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation with increased Breslow thickness and delayed surgical management in head and neck cutaneous melanoma, highlighting potential mechanisms and clinical implication
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.
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
