What Did the Study Find? This nationwide study evaluated 1,517 patients undergoing simultaneous colectomy and liver resection for colon cancer with synchronous liver metastases. Overall anastomotic leak (AL)...
Introduction: The rapid adoption of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) for obesity has created an unexpected challenge for bariatric surgery: declining procedural demand. This study examined how a large...
Introduction: Liver resection remains a cornerstone treatment for primary and secondary hepatic malignancies, but postoperative morbidity is still substantial because outcomes depend on the interaction between patient fitness,...
Introduction: Surgical site infection (SSI) remains a major cause of postoperative morbidity despite modern prevention bundles. Incisional negative pressure wound therapy (iNPWT) applied over a primarily closed incision...
Introduction: Acquired nonmalignant tracheoesophageal fistula (ANM-TEF) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition requiring complex surgical management. Historically, prolonged intubation was the dominant cause. This 40-year surgical experience...
Introduction: Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS) is a rare, benign rectal disorder characterized by mucosal injury associated with abnormal defecation, mucosal prolapse, rectal intussusception, ischemia, and repetitive mechanical...
Introduction: Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) with propofol is increasingly used as an alternative to volatile inhalational anaesthesia, with proposed advantages in postoperative recovery and safety. However, robust evidence...
Introduction: Robot-assisted pancreatoduodenectomy (RPD) is increasingly adopted in high-volume pancreatic centers, but concerns remain regarding its higher operative and equipment costs compared with open pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD). This study...
Introduction: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is an aggressive malignancy in which surgical resection remains the only potentially curative treatment. Older adults are often considered poor candidates for major hepatobiliary...
Introduction: Approximately 30% of patients with colorectal cancer present as a surgical emergency, most commonly because of bowel obstruction or perforation. While poorer outcomes after emergency surgery are...
