Introduction: Common bile duct (CBD) injury is one of the most serious complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This large national cohort study evaluated whether indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescent cholangiography...
Introduction: Diabetes is a well-recognised risk factor for postoperative complications, but the optimal level of preoperative glycemic control remains uncertain. This large multi-institutional study evaluated how HbA1c levels...
Introduction: Patients undergoing metabolic bariatric surgery are at risk for both venous thromboembolism (VTE) and postoperative bleeding. However, the optimal timing and duration of thromboprophylaxis remain uncertain. This...
Introduction: Liver perfusion failure (LPF) after pancreatoduodenectomy is an underrecognized postoperative complication that may lead to liver failure and increased mortality. This study established a clinically meaningful definition...
Introduction: Achieving complete cytoreductive surgery (CC-0) is the most important determinant of survival in colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastases (CRC-PM). Previous abdominal surgery may obscure occult peritoneal disease,...
Introduction: Thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) has long been considered the standard for postoperative pain control after gastrectomy. However, with the increasing adoption of minimally invasive gastrectomy, less invasive...
Introduction: Patients undergoing resection for colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) frequently experience postoperative functional decline, delayed recovery, and reduced tolerance to adjuvant chemotherapy. Although exercise rehabilitation benefits several cancer...
Introduction: Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MIPD) is increasingly being adopted, but its technical complexity raises concerns regarding patient safety and surgical outcomes. To improve case selection and match procedural...
Introduction: Hepatic resection and liver transplantation are curative treatment options for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). While patients undergoing resection are often classified simply as cirrhotic or noncirrhotic, many noncirrhotic...
Introduction: As more abdominal procedures are performed as day surgery, patients increasingly recover at home with limited direct clinical supervision. Although digital health platforms can monitor postoperative recovery,...
